DURUNG (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) How much of a factor has your wife been in your success? For what your life-companion has done for you give her credit on every possible occasion. One of the most touching tributes paid to the wife of a successful man is the memorial table on the Brooklyn Bridge in honor of Emily Warren Roebling. It reads: "Dedicated to the memory of Emily Warren Roebling (1843 1903). With faith and courage she helped her stricken husband, Col. Washington A. Roebling, C.E. (1837-1926), to complete the construction of this bridge from the plans of his father, John A. Roebling, C.E. (1806-1869), who gave his life to this bridge. Back of every great work we can find the self-sacrificing devotions of a woman." Get It Right Many stage, screen and tele vision performers are very fond of saying they are in "show busi ness." Strictly speaking, they are not. The term show business is only properly applied to the cir cus and carnival industry. Re member the extremely popular song "There's No Business Like Show Business," introduced in the musical "Annie Get Your Gun," referred to Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Asking Queries from clients: Q. What about the claim that no great composer of classical music has been a cigar smoker? A. Why, sir, that is ridiculous. Brahms smoked cigars. So did Franz Liszt. And to get nearer to the present, so did George Gershwin. Q. There have been two Presi dents named Adams. Others bearing the same name have been a great actress, the inventor of chewing gum, a brilliant col umnist, a champion jockey and a celebrated novelist. But has there ever been a star baseball player named Adams? A. I'll say there has. None other than Charles "Babe" Adams, a star pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pi rates for 20 years. Sidelights Mary B. Malkern has been employed continuously with the George A. Fuller company of Boston for 56 years. If that isn't the New England steady job record for women, what is? . . . Am informed that many physi cians with patients suffering from a heart condition advise them not to watch boxing bouts on television. Too exciting, say the medicos. Closing Hour Legal closing for Los Angeles bars is 2 a.m. Now the bar own ers there want the closing hour for selling alcoholic liquors fixed at 3 a.m. As to this situation, I am in agreement with Clarence "Toots" Shor, New York cafe maestro, who in agreeing that 2 a.m. was late enough to keep a barroom open, observed, "A man who can't get drunk by 2 a.m. just ain't tryin'." Those Twin As to the tale about the twins named Peter and Repeater. Here is the way a Brooklynite says he heard it some years ago. An Irishman becoming the father of twins, as so many sons of Old Erin do, decided to name them Peter and Repeater. Then his wife again gave birth to twins, two girls. So he named them Kate and Duplicate. Then once more his mate gave birth to twins. The Irishman, now feel ing there were enough twins In the family, named the late ar rivals Max and Climax.

But let me put it this way I know and I'm not saying." McCutchen, assigned to naval ROTC at the University of Ohio in Columbus, will be permitted to bring an expert to the show as his aide if he decides to go for the full amount next Tuesday One report had it that he might name his father, John McCutch en, a retired naval captain who also is an expert in the cooking field. The question that thrust Mc Cutchen to the $32,000 plateau dealt with desserts. He was asked to name the origin and describe "bombe" (France; a mold or melon lined with two kinds of ice cream), zabaglione (Italy; egg yolk, sugar and wine), olykoek (Dutch or early American; a doughnut or cruller with raisins in the center), flummery (Wales or early American; a custard pudding with fruit, and pheffer nuss (German; a highly spiced cake.) If the 28-year-old Marine does decide to shoot the works on the next telecast, he will be the first guest to do so. Two other contestants, opera expert Gino Prato of New York and Bible ex pert Catherine Kreitzer of Camp Hill, Pa., both reached the $32, 000 level and quit.
