On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by Kiafl Feature Syndicate. Inc.)
Alaska is still a happy hus
band hunting ground for smart
bachelorettes. In southern Alas
ka the men outnumber the
women lour to one. In northern
Alaska it is twelve to one. If a
girl can't get a husband in Alas
ka it is possible she will never
get a husband at all. There are
25,000 bachelors in Fairbanks,
Alaska. This includes civilians
and men in the United States
armed forces. Single men, eager
to acquire a spouse, are also
reported plentiful in Anchorage,
Alaska. The husband hunter who
has a knowledeg of stenography
and typewriting has a definite
advantage. She can get a position
paying from $70 to $90 a week
and take her time in looking
over the eligible bachelor situation.
Briefly
Italian Cinema Actress Anna
Maria Alberehetti recently said,
"The thing I love most about
Hollywood is its banana splits."
Medical history has recorded
the birth of fifty-seven sets of

sets of these quintuplets have
survived infancy.

Asides
Phineas T. Barnum, who said
"There's a sucker born every
minute," put thousands of dol
lars in a real estate failure in a
town named after him. The vil

map. But I forgot where . . .Life

want to get an idea of how long
you are going to live add the
age of your parents and four
grandparents and divide it by
six.
First Word
How about your first baby?
At what age did the infant begin
to speak? How about the first
' word? Have just heard of a baby
who spoke for the first time at
the age of 6 months. This child's
first word was "Myxomatosis."
Sounds impossible doesn't .it?
However, not when you know
the facts. Myxomatosis is the
'name of the child's toy rabbit.

At one time while Grover

Her specialty is pizza pie. So

Clothes Horse
How much attire does the well
dressed cinema cutie require?
One does not look up Debbie
Reynolds as a "clothes horse"
type, still for her recent trip to
England Debbie had a wardrobe
consisting of 124 pairs of shoes,
twenty-four evening gowns, fif
teen suits, thirty skirts, forty
five blouses and a vast amount
of lingerie. Also a platinum
mink coat and a beaver coat.
Literary Not
That brilliant! Irishman,
George Bernard Shaw, was con
sidered somewhat conceited by
many people. In reality he was
a very modest roan. Shaw was
born at 33 Synge street, Dublin.
When it was decided to place
a tablet on the Shavian birth
place, many inscriptions em
bodying words of high praise
were suggested. Finally Shaw
was asked what he would like
on the tablet. He suggested the
following, which now can be

Earl Warren Ouidraws Big Commie Meeting

Mr. Warren told a large

of a two-day "America Days
Festival."

ings reported the American one
was by far the more successful.
They reported the Red meeting
was received with complete
apathy by the Finns who flocked
to hear Mr. Warren speak.
