Iac Withdraw mot yet tfcos Mps and fingers Whose touch to mine is capture's spell; Life's Jot for as a moment lingers And death seems In the word farewell. Thomas. Campbell. To what extent does a change from a real name to a profes sional name influence the career of a person? Those ' who have made a study of-the situation claim such a chance is of major importance. For example, they say when Frances Gumm chang ed her name to Judy Garland it greatly increased , the speed of her climb up the ladder of fame. The same they claim, is true of Olga Cronk who changed her name to Claire Windsor. ,Also of Dora Goldberg who be came world famous with the professional name of Nora Bayes. The' fact is the great majority - of the stars in - the theatrical world of the past and ptesent have utilized profession al names. Incidentally, I wonder if that extremely brilliant and versatile actress who stoutly adheres to her real name of Elaine Strich would be further advanced if she had changed it? Asking Queries from clients. Q. How tall is Esther Williams,, the swimming actress? A. Five feet, seven inches. . . . Q. So you know your New York. Tell us what luxury hotel' in Manhat tan is named after a former captain of . waiters? Ai Easy question. That's the Hotel Pierre at 61st St. and 5th Ave. It was named in honor of Charles Pierre, celebrated captain of waiters .of the yesteryear at Sherry's and the Cafe Martin. . . . Q. A Jeffersonvalle, IncL, woman gave birth to four chil dren in eleven" months. That is two sets of twins. Is it a rec ord? A. Might be a record for birth of twins but not of num ber of children. Mrs. Olivia Dionne of Canada gave birth to six children in eleven months, one single birth and one of quin tuplets. Among tfeo Married All over the world more wom en are seeking divorces than men. This is true, even in Scot ' land where, until now, the wom en have never been very divorce minded. It is said that for those mil lliailiCU WJ1CI1 111 U1CU carijr twenties, the 10th year, is the most dangerous threat ; to a happy marriage. There are more divorces in the 30 to 35 year old age group than any other. What is your theory- as to the increase in women seeking ' a divorce? I regret I must take a rather cynical view of the situation. I think it is because so many married women now have their own pay checks. Pre viously innumerable women though not happy or contented stayed married for security rea sons. ' Luck Luck, good or bad, seems to run in streaks. What' is the worst streak of bad luck .you ever had? I heard of a man in Kentucky who in one week lost his job, had his house burned to the ground and became in volved in a highway accident in which his car was completely smashed. To top the week off, all of his seven children became sick with chickenpox. Jockeys Steeplechase and hurdle "jockeys are paid more per mount than flat race 5 jockeys. The riders of jumpers get $100 for a winning mount, $80 forj second, $70 for .third. Fifty for i an also ran. The flat race jockeys get $50 for a winner, $35 for second, $25 for- third. Twenty for an also ran.'. Is It Lova?. '. Now the highly intense croon er Johnnie Ray and a British band canary named Sylvia Drew say they are very much in love with each other and would like to" get married but are afraid their separate careers wmv inter fere. Nonsense! Makes you think the "romance" is all a publicity gag. As for the careers, why don't they co-star? If they are not sufficiently in love to do that, why even think of marri age. Some of the happiest mar riages in the entertainment world have been those of co- stars. That is because they were off to a good start, both having a willingness to make sacrifices for the common interests. Heredity Indications of the results of heredity are always interesting. A young woman I know is the daughter of a district attorney. She quite apparently has in herited her father's talent in cross examination. She can ask more questions in. five minutes than the average person can in five hours. After 15 minutes of conversation with a stranger she usually has learned so much about him by her cross exam ination that she is all ready to write his biography. Incident ally, although a smart looker, she is not yet married. Con sider the cross examination her husband is going to get when he comes home after a night out with the boys. Cutlass Has Value Aboard Submarine Groton, Conn. (U.R) Most Navy men would consider a Civil War vintage cutlass a use less weapon aboard a submarine, but Capt. Eric L. Barr, Jr., IN (retired)," thinks differently. - Barr, twice winner of the Navy Cross and wartime skipper of the submarine Bluegill, al ways carried a supply of these blades. He said they ' were "mighty valuable weapons." Now security director of the electric boat division of the Gen eral Dynamics Corp, Barr tells this story of how his crew of the old Bluegill made use of the old 'swords: - "In May, 1945 when Japan ese targets were becoming harder and harder to find, my crew came upon an island the Japs apparently had abandoned. "We struck on this idea sub marines had done darn near everything else in the, war, why not a it invasion!" ' :- ' i Barr armed his invaders with the cutlasses, and soon the word was flashed from the island: "Bluegill Island,- formerly . Pi rates Island . . . captured. Stars and Stripes hoisted with appro priate ceremony ... Strike off invasion medals. On to Tokyo!" In later raids in Indo-China when submarines went ashore to blow . up bridges and cut rails, the men. of the Bluegill were armed again with swords. - -' "They were mighty valuable weapons as morale-builders and symbols of Navy tradition," Barr said. . Mexico's coastline is longer than that of the United States.

Chicago (U.R) When Hank Sauer hit his fifth home run of the season off Cincinnati's Art Fowler in Monday s opening game of a holiday twinbill, he became the third leading all-time Chicago Cubs home run hitter. It was the 191st of his career - Congress Starts Adjournment: Prove Eyes Created .GEO. K. TAYLOR As Jesus passed thru Jerucho, the blind beggar asked why he heard so many feet. They an swered ; that Jesus was pass ing by and. ' a great throng with Him. At that the blind man. called You Son of David, ; have mercy on me." The crowd tried to shut him up but "the blind man called the more "You Son of David, have mercy on me." At that Jesus stopped and told them to. bring him near. Then Jesus said "Re ceive your sight, your faith has saved you." Right there the blind man received his sight See Luke 18:35-46. BIBLE. So it was that Christ honored the man's faith. And - your part? Have faith also. For ever' and ever, God has wanted to give you spiritual eye-sight, eternal life and on you spend his love. Receive Christ as Lord and Sav iour, then by Bible and prayer, grow up.

However, many of the items which led President Eisenhower to complain about Democratic inaction last week are sure to pass in some form. Some will bear more of the imprint of the Democratic majority in Con gress than of the administration As Congress returned from its Independence Day holiday, it was generally expected that no more than four weeks would be needed for the mop-up and that adjournment would come by July 30 or very soon thereafter, Three in Serious Trouble The serious illness of Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B Johnson (Tex.), was not expect ed to delay adjournment. The Democratic Whip, Earle C. Cle ments (Ky.) is filling in for John son. Some administration proposals already have been written off. Those still alive include three in serious trouble .public hous ing, federal aid for school con struction, and liberalization of the refugee law. A solution of the' impasse which has stalled the housing bill in the House is expected. School and refugee legislation appear likely to die. Mr. Eisenhower included all three of those measures in his list last week of legislation on which Congress had taken no final action. Here is the status of some of the others: Military Reserve Training: The House skirted the segrega tion issue which" previously stall ed this bill and passed it Friday. The Senate Armed Services com mittee starts hearings Thursday. Senate passage is assured. Highways: The Senate junked the administration plan for a bond-issuing highway corpora tion and passed a , Democratic substitute. The House is still working on the issue. Eventual enactment of a bill without the administration plan is fairly certain. Foreign Aid: Both House and Senate have passed bills closely in line:, with administra tion requests. Differences ' be tween the two probably will be worked out this week. Sterner requests are expected oh the' follow-up appropriation bill. Minimum Wage: The Senate passed a bill to raise the 75-cent minimum to $1, compared with the administration proposal of 90 cents. The House is expected to approve 90 cents or $1 this month. Although congressional fire works this year have crackled over domestic issues,, the Senate Democratic leadership regards foreign policy as the major work of Congress this session. In this area, Congress has approved the administration's Formosa reso lution and its foreign trade pro gram. The Senate has ratified the Paris pacts and the Austrian, Southeast Asia and ' Formosa treaties. The foreign aid bill is on the verge of passage. Draft Law Extended Other major-. legislation ron which Congress has completed action includes bills extending the draft law. renewing excise and corporate income tax rates, raising federal pay scales and ex tending the government reorgan ization law. The .House has passed a ' bill to restore 90 per cent farm price supports for basic ctods and ex pects to pass a bill to liberalize the old age insurance rbgram. Senate action this year is unlike ly on either. Oveross Case Begins Again After Recess Salem (U.R) The murder trial of Casper A.: Oveross re sumed today after a recess over the holidays. Testimony presented by the state today was expected to con cern ownership of a 30-30 rifle which was found in Pudding creek near Pratum on May 8. The state claims it is the weapon that fired the fatal bullet at Er vin Kaser as he sat in his car in the driveway of his home near Silverton last Feb. 17. Oveross blamed Kaser, wit nesses have testified, for break ing up his home. - The. Cape Hatteras lighthouse is . 193 feet high. - - Sherwood Man Held For Death in Fight Newberg (U.R) A Sher wood man is being held in Yam hill county jail at McMinnville pending a report by Dr. Homer Harris, state crime laboratory criminologist, on the death of Patrick Long, 65, of Sherwood.
