G. Herdman, 1021 North Central ave. $150 On The Side - 7 (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Gentle ileep! Scatter thy drowsiest poppies from above; And in new dreams, not soon ta vanish, bless Mr senses with th sight of her I love. Horace Smith Among the things I have never been able to understand, and of which I would welcome an ex planation, is why parents give male infants first names defin itely intended for females. This practice is more widespread than you think.' For example, the records of just one city, Chicago, show boy babies there were giv en the following names: Nora, Rhea, Norma, Camille, Doris, Ethel and Emily. I don't know what the records of San Fran cisco reveal as to this situation, but I do know of a male infant there whose parents named him Cleopatra. Asking Queries from clients: Q. Are you familiar with a song titled "Ain't Got Much Money, Honey, But Ain't We Got Fun?" A. Ti tle of song I believe you have in mind is "Ain't We Got Fun," by Dick Whiting. Was popular in early 1920s. . . Q What are some mixed drinks that include coffee as an ingredient, but not whisky? A. Cafe au Kirsch, Tom and Jerry, Coffee Grog, and Rum Mocha. Sidelights What job requires the most patience? How about that of selling shoes to women? I know of a shoe salesman who dis played and tried on 38 different pairs of shoes for a woman, and then she didn't buy anything. . . . By the time you were 23, what had you accomplished? George Westinghouse fought four years in the Civil War and invented the air brake before he was 23. Almost Confidential Ever know anybody who mar ried at 12? I know of a woman who married at that age. And so did her daughter. The mother's marriage was successful, but the daughter became a divorcee at 14. . . . In Moscow there is a street named Sharikopodshipni- kovskaya Ave. It means "Avenue of Ball Bearings." . . . There are over 250 different brands of Scotch whisky but only nine brands of Irish whisky. Horses and Women If there is four inches differ ence between a woman's ankle and calf measurements, and sev en inches difference between her calf and thigh measurements, she has a perfect leg. On this all authorities on feminine figures are agreed. An example of the measurements of a woman with a perfect leg are ankle, 8V2 inches; calf, 12Vi inches and thigh 19Vi inches. Please Note "No unhappily married man can succeed in life, if he stays married," observes a matrimon ial expert. That is not 100 per cent , correct. Abraham Lincoln was unhappily married . . . How do you sleep? On your left side or right side? How many pil lows do you use? Flat on the back, with no pillows used is said to be the healthiest and most rest producing way to sleep. Asides Aleta Morrison, who is 5 feet 8, has legs measuring 41 inches. That leg measurement sounds like a record for one of . her height. She should make a mar velous cancan dancer ... It was Churton Collins who said, "never trust a man who speaks well of everybody." Briefly Shakespeare said pity was the shortest way to a woman's heart but Josh Billings observed, "the shortest way to a woman's heart is to praise her hat" . . . Speak ing of longshots, Miss J. V. Couz- ens of Detroit invested $100 in Henry Ford's automobile com pany at the start and later sold her share for $355,000. Passing By Thyra Samter Winslow. Clev er and lovely literary lady, fig ure control authority and expert on the subject of love. Thyra is the originator of the classic query, "You are proud of your I.Q. (intelligence quotient) but how is your L.Q. (love quotient)? I don't know where Thyra learn- ed about love but she was born in Fort Smith, Ark.

Just what is this reading? What books have others found worth enjoying again and again? What writers have been a de cisive influence in other lives? Questions Asked Each year the Book Review editor of the "New York Times Book Review Magazine" puts this question to a number of notables. This year he asked au thors of current best-sellers, making an exception of the Bible, to name the book, or books, which they felt had most influ enced them. Samuel Hopkins Adams, au thor of "Grandfather Stories" picked Charles Kingsley, author of "Hypatia," and "Westward Ho" as the most influential writer he had read. Herman Wouk, writer of "Marjorie Morn ingstar," believes that "Don Quixote," by Cervantes is the book outside the Bible which has most influenced his life and his writing. The declaration of John Gun ther, author of "Inside Africa," was for Tolstoy's "War and Peace"' as the greatest novel ever written, a book that enlarges and magnifies all - that man knows about the human spirit. Read in Childhood Anne Lindbergh, whose "Gift From the Sea" is one of the most significant books of the past year, says on the other hand that while writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky come first to mind at the posing of the editor's ques tion, perhaps the permanently branding influence on any read er's mind is wrought by the books read in childhood, such as "Heidi." Stuart Cloete, "The African Giant,", stated that "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair gave him his first sense of social con sciousness. Norman Vincent Peale, "Power of Positive Think ing," had no hesitation in nam ing Emerson's writings and those of Henry James as those which had the most decisive influence on his life. Why not resolve now to in clude some of the really great books in your reading for 1956? From Reunion where she visited with her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. William Hoisted. She also visited with her husband who has been working in Los An geles since spring.

The Top Notch SPECIAL Sunday, January 8, 1958 Federal Sayings, Loan Assets Rise An increase of more than $1,300,000 in assets of the Jack son County Federal Savings and Loan association since Dec. 31, 1954, was reported yesterday by President W. J. Warner. The increase, together with in crease in earnings, resulted in payment to investors of an extra one per cent dividend per an num for the past six months, in addition to the current rate of three per cent. Dividends paid between June 30 and Dec. 31 totaled $164, 395.24, making a total of $281, 395.24 paid in dividends last year. Warner reported total as sets for the association Dec. 31 as $10,353,479.81, and said the increase largely was due to a 2 rise of more than $1,000,000 in mortgage loans during the year. John Pletsch, secretary-manager, said the increase confirms predictions that home building in Jackson county is increasing although there appears to be a need for more new homes, which are held back due to water and sewer shortages.
