& SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, August 31, 19S5 On The Side By E. V. CURLING ' (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) For a sports event to promote international good will, how about a round-the-world auto mobile race open to cars of all nations? Such a race was held over 40 years ago. In 1908, to be exact. The race was from New York to Paris by way of Russia. It started at Times Square, New York. Two hun dred and fifty thousand people were there to see the start. Six cars competed; three French, one Italian, one German and one American. The race started on Feb. 12, 1908, and finished in Paris July 30 the same. year. The winner was the American car, a Thomas Flyer. That rugged vehicle is still around. It can be seen at Clark's Automobile Mus eum, Southampton, L. L Those Arguments We would like to get a few arguments off our list to pro vide space for other discussions: Therefore, please be informed that the following claims have been adjudged correct and no further discussion will be held on same. 1 Nineteen hundred was Jot a leap year. 2 George M. Cohan was born on the third of July, not the fourth. 3 Joe's barroom irMhe poem "The Face On The Floor" was located on Union Square, New York City. 4 Robert Burns did not origin ate the song titled "Auld Lang Syne." 5 The original "It" girl was not Clara Bow. It was Aileen Pringle. 6 The first jockey to be called "The Iceman" was not George Woolf but Henry Spen cer. Omission Responding to a request to name sports figures having the nicknanje "Rube,. I made a grievous and unforgivable errr. I left out the greatest "Rube" of alL That is "Rube" Waddell. What a character he was! A film based, on his career could be amusing as well as highly dramatic. ' Sidelights . Off Greenport,N L I., not far from Brooklyn, there was caught a lobster weighing 39 pounds, and 22 inches in length. Let Maine try to top that for size . . . A for low prices paid for used cars,9 am informed by a Californian he recently bought a 1941 car for $5 and that it is now in regular use and running fine. v Husband Selection How about husband selection? That's what a group of six Balti more bachelorettes asks in com menting on this department's re cent helpful hints to bachelors on wife selection. I have asked our Mules & Men experts to pre pare some of the requested ad vice. Offhand, I would say . a bachelorette should think twice before marrying a jockey. He will want her to live in a trailer. Tha life of the wife of a doctor can be very difficult. Think of all those "emergency calls" com ing at the most inopportune mo ments. Then there is the worry about the beautiful blonde pa tients. Only women of very strong character and a great sup ply of patience should marry professional ballplayers. They are more temperamental than opera stars. Whether the home of a ballplayer is sad or glad de pends entirely on how many hits he got in the game that after noon. ' t Please Note As for caviar, I don't care for it. In my opinion crepes suzette is overrated and excessively publicized. As for pheasant un der glass, you can have my share. I don't care for squab either. What do I like? Don't get me wrong. I like several hundred different kinds of food items. Howeyer,' I would rather have $had roe than caviar. I'll take babpau rhum over crepes suzette and a skilfully prepared portion of chicken fricassee, with dumplings, over pheasant under glass. Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS CIO United Auto Workers Secretary-Treasurer Emil Mazey, on the progress made in talks with Chrysler Corp, aimed at avert ing a strike at midnight tonight: "We are within striking distance." Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D.-La.) on a dinner he was served be hind the Iron Curtain at a farmhouse near Bucharest. "The chicken was fried southern style, the way we do it in Louisiana.

Jaeger, watching a stream of cars speed across a busy intersection on the outskirts of Detroit near the home where he has lived since 1914: "If some of the old pioneers could come out of their graves and see this they'd choose to drop right back in them." - William Wells, carnival worker who was married Tuesday at Des Moines, la., while pinned against the wall of a thrill ride spinning at 45 miles an hour: e "We work here, so we decided to get married here."

Gain in wages paid to covered workers from 1954 to 1955 amounted to $20,892,000 or about 7.3 per cent, but the in crease in average- employment was only 8,222 to 302,947 or 2.8 per cent. Payrolls were about 4 per cent higher than in early 1953, which had been the prev ious all-time high for the period. Montly Pay Jumps Average monthly pay for workers covered jumped to $338.50, highest yet figured for the winter months but about $20 below the all-time high in the late summer of 1954. Logging and, lumber opera tions provided much of the force behind the economic pickup last winter, tabulations from 2692 firms in Oregon's main industry showed. Employment averaged 72,224, about 5000 more, than the previous year but slightly below 1953. Payrolls reached a new high of $83,015,697, an in crease of nearly $11,000,000 over the winter before and more than 4,500,000 above the previous peak in early 1953. Slight Gain Shown Construction and food pro cessing gained slightly over 1954 but failed to equal the winter before. Other manufacturing groups showed payroll gains over both previous winters but failed to equal employment records of early 1953. Finance, insurance and realty concerns covered by the unem ployment law reported both more jobs and higher total wages than in previous years. But trade, service and utilities fol lowed the general trend of fa vorable comparison with last year but below 1953. The finan cial group was the only main line showing gains in early 1954 over the previous year. y ESCAPE ARTIST Mound City, 111.
