At one time he owned as many as 130 thorough- H breds. Thomas Jefferson was also a race horse owner. On one occasion, Washington's best horse named Wagnolia, met a -oan colt owned by Thomas Jef ferson in a match race at the Alexandria (Va.) Jockey Club. Jefferson's horse won by ten lengths. At present, United States Presidents seem afraid to even attend a horse race. If a President of the United States attended a Kentucky Derby I don't belive it would do him a bit of harm politically. It might even do him some good. Briefly Despite the reputation blondes have for being flirtatious.danger ous and predatory, the fact re mains that over 80 per cent of the women named as correspon dents in divorce cases are bru nettes . . .The best dancer of all Presidents of the United States was "Big Bill" Taft, who weighed 300. Gtt It Right Oldest "Chinatown" section in United States is that of San Francisco. It was started in 1850. No Chinese lived in New York City until 1862. The first Chi nes to settle in Manhatten was a sailor named Lou Hoy Sing. Incidentally, he married an Irish firl. Picas Not The first burlesque troupe to perform in tnis country was that extremely shapely group known as Lydia Thompson's British Blondes. Most of Lydia's blondes wert really brunettes transform ed by the use of peroxide. In fact, Lydia and her troupe of very lively synthetic blondes popularized peroxide . in this country. Fourth Child Are you a fourth child? Have you friends who were featured at their mother's fourth blessed event? The fourth child lives longer than any of the other offspring. Such is the claim of the experts. That's a break for me. I am a fourth child. Musie Note . - '.. What is the extent of your knowledge of music? Are you familiar with Haydn's "Surprise Symphony?" At one point the score of that calls for a terrific crash of instruments. Asked for the reason for this, Haydn said, "Oh, that's to wake up the audi ence. Short Skirts When women are trying on kirts don't they ever ask for a chair to see how they look sitt - ing down? If they do, how does it happen that so many women who shouldn't wear short skirts very short, do wear them? . . . Reagarding marriage, Socrates said, "Marry, by all means.

When Dempsey floored Tun ney for that "fourteen count" in their Chicago meeting it was the first time Gene had ever been floored in his long ring career. Please Note Divorcees are still topping the list of preferred matrimonial ma terial. No women has a better chance of getting a husband than a divorcee in her early thirties The chances of a thirtyish divor cee marrying again are ninety four in 100. Of widows in the same age group the chances are only sixty in 100. Exception As to the claim that men weighing over 250 seldom en joy a long life a notable excep tion was General Winfield Scott. The general who was 6 feet 5, weighed 310. He lived to be 80. Names Am informed that at an air force base in California there is a United States Army sergeant whose first name is Doris. Not only that, his wife's name is Johnnie. I still can't understand why parents should give a male child such a name as Doris. How ever, that is not the topper. A San Francisco couple named their male child Cleopatra. As an adult he became a longshore man and retained the first name his parents gave him!

Last month's outgo brought the total for the current benefit year to $19,616,014, nearly 12 per cent below the correspond ing period last year but the third highest in the commission's 17 year history.

Americans Can Be Proud of Korea Generosity By Gl Washington U.R) The generosity of the GIdn Korea is a little-known story and one Americans can be proud of. The 25th infantry Division will long be remembered by the children attending a brand new schoolhouse that its soldiers built at Yong Jong-Ni. At the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital in Pusan, they're dispensing medical aid and supplies under the joint sponsorship of the 7th and 53rd transportation compan ies. All over the bleak, mountain ous country, of Korea are re construction projects, financed to a considerable extent by vol untary contributions from in dividuals, soldiers. CARE, a re lief organization, said individual donations by GI's for Korean reconstruction totaled $1,700,- 000. Of this sum, $1,500,000 was contributed by the Eighth Army servicemen who bought pack ages from PX stores for indivi dual Koreans. This does not in clude substantial sums donated under CARE's "matching" pro gram of Korean relief. Christmas Cheer In Operation Santa Claus, the armed forces gave presents, clothing, playground and med ical equipment to Korean chil dren, many of them homeless. GI's gave 422 parties for chil dren in South Korea last Christ mas. To coordinate these programs initiated by the American sold ier himself, the AFAK (Armed Forces Assistance Korea) pro gram got under way in Septenv ber 1953. President Eisenhower well Taylor, Eighth Army commander, federal funds to co ordinate voluntary with federal reconstruction programs. AFAK estimates about 2,000 projects will have been completed by June. This includes orphanages, libraries, churches, hospitals, highways, and bridges. The Army estimates that AFAK construction projects as of this January are valued at $31,644,800 and non-construction projects at $1,939,900. The latter include work in the fields of public health, welfare educa tion, and religion.

Use Tribune Want Ads liuuuuuuuuuumjm , Look what Mr. Peterson told those financiers! Mr. Alfred G. Peterson, a forth right man, addressed the con vention of the Savings Associa tions League of N. Y. State and boldly discussed the matter of advertising-of his own free will. Mr. Peterson, who is president of the National Savines and Loan League, and president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Greenwich, Connecticut, spoke as follows: "I feel that advertising is a very profitable investment. But we should not buy advertising blindly. We should give careful consideration both to the appeals and the media we use." And listen to this ! "The medium which tops the list is the medium that reaches the greatest number of people at the lowest cost. It is my opinion the. newspaper is that medium.. ." But that isn't all .. . "I place the newspaper at the top of the list because it reaches the local market. All of us are really conducting local businesses. "We may be bound together into a national in dustry, but our spheres of influence are entirely local. "The newspaper reaches precisely the people we want to reach." Ah, Mr. Peterson you are a man Mho knows his investment! Last year the institution headed by Mr. Peter son invested 5 of its gross income on adver tising, and more than 60 of that went into newspapers. In only ten years this Association multiplied its total resources eight-fold! Gosh! If savings and loan people themselves advertisejjthinkjiow they must feel about lend ing money to people who work for sound com panies who advertise soundly in newspapers. All business is local. . . and so are all newspapers!
