Think of the word "vibgyor."
The letters in that are each

Please Note
There is no doubt that being
President of the United States
is a nerve wracking job and
one which can be a threat to
the holder's health. Neverthe
less, the majority of United
States Presidents seem to have
come through the ordeal very
well. The average life span of
this country's chief executives
has been well above that of the
average man. John Adams lived
to 90. Madison to 85. John
Quincy Adams to 80. Van Buren
passed on at 79, Jackson at 78.
Buchanan at 77, Monroe, at 73.
Herbert Hoover, now 81, is still
in good health.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q.
Didn't you say Talleyrand, the
great French statesman, once
lived on Staten Island? A. No,
sir. However, I did say that
Talleyrand lived for a time in
Brooklyn. As for Staten Island,
Santa Ana, the Mexican gen
eral; Garibaldi, Italian patriot,
and William Shakespeare all
lived for a time. The William
Shakespeare I refer to is, of
course, the former Notre Dame
halfback . . . Q. How much did
each of the Dionne quintuplets
receive on their 21st birthday?
A. Just about $200,000.
Mothers
"Is not a young mother one of
the sweetest sights life shows
us?" observed William Make
peace Thackeray. How young a
mother did Mr. Thackeray have
in mind? Among the readers of
this department is a young
mother of Barnesville, O. She is
I 18 and has three children, all
I by single births. Her husband
i is 22. A very interesting young
i couple.
Life Begins
As for the claim that life
begins at 40 consider the case
of George Bernard Shaw and his
charming matrimonial mate.
When Shaw married he was 42.
It was his first marriage. Also
the first of his bride, who was
41, yet the Shaws nearly reached
a golden wedding celebration.
When Mrs. Shaw died they had
been happily married for 45
years!

Schmidt, Una
'Happiest Couple'
Portland (U.R) Airman
Danny Schmidt and his 20-year-old
wife, Una, reported from
their second honeymoon beach
hideaway today that "we're just
about the happiest couple in the
world."
During a telephone conversa
tion with United Press, Schmidt
said that no one had bothered
them for the first time in days
pnd that both he and Una were
enjoying the rest and quiet.
The 23-year-old airman and
his wife were reunited at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Nellie
Peters, here Wednesday night.
Schmidt said it took him nearly
three years to get home from a
Red China prison camp and two
weeks to get together with Una,
who married another man while
he was in prison.
"But it took us only about
five minutes alone to decide we
belonged to each other," he
added.
He said they planned to stay
at the beach for several more
days and then probably would
return to Portland for further
visits with his mother.
Schmidt refused to discuss
Alford Fine; a California lum
berjack whom . Una married
while the airman was in the
Communist prison, or whether
they expect any legal difficul
ties in shedding him.

Women's Political March
Began 35 Years Ago Today
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Today
is ladies day.
Thirty-five years ago today
woman began her move from the
kitchen to embassy drawing
rooms into national politics and,
who knows, some day perhaps to
the nation's vice presidency.
For 35 years ago a simple
sentence became part of the con
stitution and changed the life of
America. The sentence is con
tained in the 19th amendment:
"The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the
United States or any state on ac
count of sex."
The government has entered
into the spirit of today's anni
versary of the granting of wom
en's suffrage. '
The Post Office department
has issued a new stamp honor
ing Susan B. Anthony, the ar
dent female who fought hardest
for the principles behind the
19th amendment. It's a passion
ate purple. It is priced at 50
cents and carries Mrs. Anthony's
portrait.
Part of Series
The new stamp becomes part
of a regular series to be issued
indefinitely. It replaces a stamp
picturing President William
Howard Taft the 50 cent stamp
since 1938. It is the second regularly-issued
stamp honoring a
woman. The first is the lVi cent
Martha Washington stamp.
Miss Anthony probably would
be amazed today at how far
women have progressed since
that day in 1853 when she shock
ed a New York educational con
vention by asking to make a
speech. After a furious wrangle,
thunderstruck male delegates fi
nally granted her request. And
she went on to bigger and better
things.
As one fond biographer wrote,
"Every girl who now enjoys a
college education; every woman
who earns a living in any pro
fession or trade; every wife who
is protected in the ownership of
property; every mother who has
an equal right with the father to
the custody and control of her
children; every woman .who be
longs to a club and works for
individual and civic improve
ment, owes these sacred privi-.
leges to Susan B. Anthony above
all others."

suggesting that it won't be too
long before a woman is named
by one of the political parties as

men who have achieved notable
