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.

something that will stand by us
long after the current best-seller
and the habitual television pro
gram are forgotten.
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?

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.
