On Side By E. V. Durling" (Distributee' bf Kiaf Ftshma Syndicate. leeJ Overtime pay in the U. S. A. was originated by Richard Teller Crane of the Crane Company just about 60 years ago. In 1894, to be exact. In that year Crane in augurated a policy of time, and a half pay for overtime, and double pay for Sundays and hol idays. Employees of other estab lishments were paid nothing for overtime. They were just given supper money. This was usually 50 or 75 cents. Widows How difficult is it for a widow with a number of children to secure a husband?. Some widows with several offspring claim it is practically impossible. All de pends upon the appearance, in telligence and home managing talents of the widowThe best matrimonial prospect for a wid ow with children is a widower with children. Not so long ago Cornelia Smit of Hoorn, Holland, a widow with 20 children, mar ried a handsome widower named Retrus Mettes, the father of 11 children. All 31 children of the pair attended the wedding. Passing By Conrad Hilton, hotel manage ment genius, is eligible for mem bership in the Club Noel, having been born on Christmas Day. The second largest hotel in the world, the Conrad Hilton, Chicago, is named in his honor. He is the ex husband of ZsaZsa Gabor and the former father-in-law of Elizabeth Taylor. Superior Sex The claim that the female is the "superior sex" continues to be taken very seriously by some of our countrywomen. As for ex ample, a woman in Georgia was recently arrested for "husband beating." She weighed 192. The weight of her spouse,, poor fel low, was not stated. Blondes In London recently a beautiful ash blonde model shot and killed her lover who tried to desert her for another female. This seems confirmation of the claim of the horses and women experts that, when cast aside by a lover, the blonde shoots the lover while the deserted brunette -is inclined to hoot herself. Asking ' Queries from clients. Q. What's the record for a trip from New York City (Manhattan) to At lantic City? A. Don't know the record.

Film you refer to, starring Hedy LaMarr, was produced in Czechoslovakia about 22 years ago. Parodies Do you recall when parodies on popular songs were featured by comedians? If not, cease call ing yourself a young old-timer. One of my favorite parodies was that on the song titled "There's a Girl in the Heart of Maryland With a Heart that Belongs to Me." The parody featured by that whimsical pair of comedians, Hoey and Lee, was titled "There's a Girl in the Heart of Maryland With a Watch That Be longs to Me." .The parody is not entirely a thing of the past. Not so long ago Joe E. Lewis ren dered a parody on the song titled "I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl Who Married Dear Old Dad." Joe's parody was titled: "I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl Who Married Dear Old Harry James."

When Warding Off In-Laws Be Careful of Family Feud You cannot handle members of the family in the same way that you can handle outsiders. That is what I tried to explain to the woman who wrote: . (Q) "How do you handle people when you do every thing to show them they're not I1 welcome, but they still hang around? I am referring to my husband's sister and her husband. We lived in their house in the country, but when tilings started to go bad. I told my husband we had better move to avoid a fight. I thought by moving things would be more peaceful, but . we no sooner moved than they sold their house and moved near us. Every chance they get they hang around my hus band to get him to go out with them and he is just the type that can't say 'No.' "I happen to know a few things about my sister-in-law's husband's past that would make a lot of trouble for them if I let it out. If that is the only way to get rid of them for good, I think it is worth it, . After all, they're not concern ed about . any trouble they make for us. Can you give me any advice on how to handle such people?" ' (A) My first advice is, "Don't tell tales on your sister-in-law's husband." It would be bad enough to do that to a stranger, but with a member of the family, it might start a family feud which would mean that your husband would have his whole family turn against him and you. Surely you would not want this to happen. - ' If your husband does what his sister wants him to do, it sug gests that he is genuinely fond of her and enjoys being with her. After all, he is a grown man and could point out to her that he had some other engagement if he did not want to go out. To avoid family friction, why not build up a circle of friends ONLY EXCLUSIVE 0 1 1 Has It! . . .

Deferment Urged on Hells Canyon Decision Washington (U.R) The In terior department has urged the House Interior committee in strong language not to act on a bill to authorize construction of a high-level government dam in Hell's canyou. Assistant Secretary Fred C. Aandahl pointed out in a letter to Chairman Clair Engle (D Calif), that the Federal Power commission is considering appli cations for "private dams. The FPC has power, he said, to de termine whether public or pri vate development of the Snake river site is preferable. "Under these circumstances, Aandahl said, "the issue should not be determined in advance and in derogation of the very process Congress has established . . . vf recommend, therefore, that action be deferred until the commission has acted on the applications now before it." and plan to do things with them? Inform your husband when you intend to entertain. This will give him a ready excuse. Then, when you know you will be at home in the evenings or over week-ends arrange for something to be . done in the house that will keep your hus band busy, should , your sister-in-law ask him to go out. In time, this should discourage them. (Copyright, .1955, General Features Cor?.) There are three national battlefield parks in the National Park System of the United States. Thursday.

Hollywood U.R) Deborah Kerr finished her' long, run in the play "Tea and Sympathy", with the hope she's forever rid of the American no tion that Brit ish women are "prissy." The red-haired actress end ed the road show here of Aline Mosbr her Broadway hit drama after 731 perform ances. It was a triumphant home coming for the star, who left Hollywood two years ago even before her sensational bathing suit scene in "From Here To Eternity" was released and turn ed her into a glamour queen. Now she's beginning a new life in the movies changed, she believes, by her portrayal of the daring woman in "Tea and Sympathy" and the sensual Army wife in "Eternity." No Change "I'm not changed one iota;" she said firmly. "But the atti tude toward me in Hollywood has definitely changed. They used to think I was a bit prissy! ' "You have two strikes against you in America if you're from England. They automatically endow you with a tiara. "And if you're French! You're a madame or a courtesan." The actress sat tor an inter view in the Paramount Studio hair-dressing department while a hair expert dyed her red locks blonde for her return to movies in "The Proud and The Pro fane." The film; co-starring Wil liam Holden, takes her on loca tion to the Virgin Islands for another bathing suit love scene. "But not quite as drastic as the one in 'Eternity'," she added. Censored Version After the Paramount film she returns to Hollywood for the 0th Century-Fox version of the stage musical, "The King and I," "And if they make it is Siam I'll quit I haven't been home for so long." Next on her agenda will be a censored film of "Tea and. Sympathy? at MGM, where Deborah used to do "Aunt Mable" parts before her career change. ; , ', '- MGM brass and scores of cele brities turned out to give her more curtain calls on her stage opening night here then she re ceived in New York. "I was scared out of my life here at first", she said. "You're opening to the trade and they can be a cold audience. But after it was received that way, . I couldn't "move the next day. I was so emotionally strung up. "Yes,' 'she reflected, "if you wait long enough, everything works out. This show business is a business of success. If you're successful, you're well re garded." .
