On The Side by e. v. During (Diitributed by King Ftifura Syndicate. Inc.) When you consider how bach elors are pampered it makes it easier to understand why it is becoming increasingly difficult for a girl to get a single man L liiLU illen.1 UJiuiu'' dries have special services for bachlors which include sewing on buttons, mending socks, turn ing over collars, etc. A bachelor with an apartment can get a part time maid to handle all his housekeeping at a very reason able price. With the maids bach elors are preferred customers. In Manhattan there are estab lishments which will handle every detail of a dinner party for a bachelor. That is the buy ing, cooking, cleaning up. Host esses tossing parties love to have bachelors present. At summer resorts bachelors get special rates. Some business organiza tions are anxious to have bache lor employees in the office be cause that makes it easier to get feminine employees. All this not only makes a bachelor hard to get but when captured difficult to keep. He cannot forget how wonderful everything was when he was a bachelor. Get It Right Note it claimed the one way street was originated by a New York City traffic expert about 20 years ago. Nonsense! The one way street was originated by the Roman Emperor Hadrian about 1,800 years ago. Hadrian also originated the idea of the white line to divide two way streets and highways. Incidentally Na poleon originated the idea of odd and even house numbers on different side of streets. Sidelights Seventy-five per cent of the wrecked marriages are caused by interfering mothers-in-law. Or, so says an expert on the sub ject of life among the married. . . . Gregory Peck's favorite dish is Lobster Leopold and he is said to insist that the next girl he marries must know how to pre pare that menu skillfully. . . . Dr. Alfred Kinsey plans to write 18 more books on the sub ject of sex. Horses and Women what size his wife takes in every article of attire. That is what is constantly said by those who of fer advice on how to keep a wife contented. I claim it is asking too much of a man. The femi nine size situation is too compli cated. For example, I have seen it claimed that the "junior sizes" are not necessarily worn by a teen-ager. Women of 40 or 50 wear "junior sizes." It is a size designed for those who have re tained their schoolgirl figure. Women don't mind the compli cated size system. They like everything to be a little diffi cult. Understanding it makes them feel smarter. Asking Queries from clients. Q. When and where did Gypsy Rose Lee make her New York debut? A. Gypsy's first appearance in New York as a daring danseuse was at the Irving Place theater about 23 years ago. She moved uptown to the Winter Garden when engaged for the Shubert "Ziegfeld Follies of 1936."... Q. Has there ever been thor oughbred horse racing in New Jersey in January? A. Yes, sir. Around the turn of the century there was racing daily except Sunday at Guttenberg, N.J., throughout the winter months. No Shave "Haircuts Only. No Shave." That sign is displayed by innu merable barber shops. Why don't those tonsorialists get on the ball and give the customer more consideration? Why not give a customer a shave with an electric razor? One chain of New York barber shops does that and so enjoys the gratitude of many customers. A good shave by a skillful barber can be very refreshing. After all shaving was what barbers were CUPID GETS ANOTHER WARREN Dorothy Warren, 24, daughter of U. S. Chief Justice Earl Warren, poses with Dr.- Carmine D. Clemente, 27, in Los Angeles after Dorothy's mother announced their engagement from Wash ington, D. . Dorothy is employed in the bio-medical library at UCLA where Dr. Clemente is an assistant pro fessor of anatomy. They plan to wed during the Christmas holidays when Dorothy's parents can be present. originally for. Haircutting came later. Those Blondes These are trying days for blondes. They continue to suf fer devastating defeats by the brunettes. A brunette won the "Miss World" title in competi tion with beauties from 21 other nations. This glamorous black haired female is Susan Duijm of Venezuela. She is 5 feet 8 with other measurements of' 34-21-34. Historic Spot A tablet at 7 West 46th st, Manhattan, reads: "Diamond Jim Brady lived here." Very in teresting. Perhaps the memorial tablet idea as to former famous residents of places in Manhat tan will catch on. There should be a table at 28 West 26th st. O. Henry lived there. He also died there as he voiced his famous last words: "I'm afraid to go home in the dark." Twelve Piel st. also rates a tablet. That was the site of Salter's cafe where Irving Berlin started his career as a singing waiter. No. 4 East 44th st. was the site of Can- field's last gambling house. 'Sense in Tax Law' Said Aim of Mobile Home Owners Clan W. R. Mitchell, president of the Jackson county chapter of the Oregon Mobile Home Own ers, and a director of the state organization, said last week that members of his group would work with other property own ers in the state toward "putting some sense in the Oregon tax laws." Mitchell made his statement following a number of protests from the owners of real proper ty here after the mailing of tax bills. "Our group has been the noisiest group around for a year or so on this matter of the prop erty tax," Mitchell said, "but now other property owners are beginning to feel the bite too." Oregon Mobile Home Owners, Inc., has as a primary purpose "equalization of tax laws affect ing their trailer homes." Lead ers of the group declare they are not trying to avoid paying taxes. They say that only 10 per cent of trailer home owners in the state are now being assessed, and that they feel that all should be dealt with equally. "We feel that a small minor ity should not bear the burden for all trailer owners," Mitchell said. "As the tax laws are now written, those of us who are hit for taxes pay far too much be cause others pay nothing at all So far we have been concerned only with our own problem, but now we feel that all proper ty owners should get together to examine the entire Oregon property tax structure." For a different and delicious topping for dessert, shortcakes, mix 2 three - ounce packages cream cheese with 2 tablespoons sugar, Vi cup milk and Vz cup teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Beat with a rotary beater until fluffy.

Sea Scout Rescued From Columbia River Portland (U.R) Five sea scouts were rescued from the icy Columbia river near here Fri day after their boat capsized at the height of a blizzard-like snow storm.
