MAIL TRIBUNE On The Side (Distributed by K'ma So the circus is going to pass up Madison Square Garden next year. All right, why cry about it? Let's have a good wild west show instead. Something like the shows of Buffalo Bill, the One Hundred and One Ranch or Pawnee Bill. As a kid I always liked the wild west show better than the circus. One number that really thrilled me in Buffalo Bill's show was the scene show ing the Indians holding up a stage coach. Asking Queries from clients. Q. How long is the Atlantic City board walk? A. Eight miles. ... Q. In what film would you say Bette Davis gave her best perform ance? A. I do not think Miss Davis has ever surpassed or even equalled her performance in "In Human Bondage." . . Q. How long has the dial telephone been in use in this country? A. Can't say exactly. However, I know the first major city to have this type of telephone service was Los . Angeles, where it was available over 40 years ago. . Q. What is the average tempera ture during April in Paris? A. About 55 degrees. Same as New York City . . . Q. Are you famil iar with a limerick about "A young lady who walked to Scot land on stilts?" A . Yes, ma'am.

He fin- i s h e d 10th grade an I Dr. Her lock went to busi- ness school after graduating irom high school. I would have liked for us to continue our edu cation because I love to read books and articles on any sub ject. About all my husband ever reads are the comics in news papers or comic books. He likes to fish and watch sports over the television, while I like more seri ous programs. We dont' agree on bringing up the children, either, He has old-fashioned ideas, while I try to keep up with the more modern methods. I wonder how I can live with him for many more years when he simply don't speak the same language about anything. What would you sug gest?" (A) For the sake of your chil dren I advise you to try to de velop some interests you can share with your husband. Try, also, to encourage his interest in some of the things that you like. You are finding out, as many other, people do, that it takes more than physical attraction to make a happy marriage. If your husband has no interest in intellectual pursuits, try to meet him on some other ground. That does not mean that you should give up your own interest in reading, but that you should add some other enthusiasm in keep ing with your husband's tastes. Sports, for instance, can be quite interesting. One of the most important areas where you should try to get together is in rearing your children. There is nothing more confusing to a child than to have his mother require one thing and his father another. Tuesday, August 23. 1955 By E. V. Durling Fatrt Syndicate, Inc.) event caterers.

Illuminated house numbers are compulsory by law in Finland. By ELIZABETH HURLOCK. PH.D. You may have to compromise in this matter.
