Gloria Swanson Says Titled Name Earns More Recognition at Cafes and Parties By GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Press Rome (U.R) "Queen Kel ly" was the name of one of the last silent movies to be written Skeletons Found In Prfneville Attic Prineville (U.R) Skeletal remains, possibly of two persons were discovered here yesterday in the attic of. a rented house and under a chickenhouse some two blocks away.

The boy told police he had found the skull in the attic of a house rented by his mother. Eldridge said the remainder of a skeleton was found in a box at the dwelling. She said the skull found by. Smart and the skeleton appeared to be from two different bodies, although found less than three blocks apart. , . . The remains were forwarded to the state crime laboratory at Portland.

Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS Unitad Pre Futnn Wtlru Washington U.R) Belat edly, it can be said that some newspapermen, Including this one, got some loot for Mostly little things. Like the coon skin beret with a tail at tached from Sen. Estes Ke- fauver, who would surely like to be in Harmon NichoU "e big wnite mansion on Pennsylvania ave. My Democratic friend sent the bonnet collect, by Western Un ion, which is fine and I don't mind a mite. Finest present I got, I reckon, was a shoe horn for fat men, something I have needed for a long time. The thing is knee high and allows a man to put on his shoes without bending or wheez ing. The sender said ,it was made in Egypt by "craftsmen skilled in their art." They must have been. I find it is no trouble at all to sit on the side of the sleep sack and get into your shoes without stooping. These long horned shoe-horns are a thing of art. Battle of the Sexes Another present I liked at first was a set of "his" and "hers" flannel night gowns and night caps. Veronica and I got a little confused the first night we tried 'em on. The hfs and hers equip ment got a little mixed up. Mama wound up with my nightcap on, and I with hers. Mine didn't fit and vice versa. Same went for the nightshirts. We straightened that out after a couple of sleepless nights. Those nightshirts wrapped around a neck can be a hazard. About 20 calendars came my way. Most of them you " could pitch away. Everybody knows this is leap year. But one came from a movie company. It gives you the day of the week and the month and there is a little gold thing on top to straighten you out on what day and month it is. Trouble is you flip the thing one way and you wind up on the 7th of the month instead of the 9th. Whip her the other way and you run in to even numbers, like 6 and 8. I haven't figured it out yet and I'm mostly winding up going the wrong way, but we have plenty of time in our house. Back to Matches Speaking of little things, for a man who is cutting down on smoking, what do I get but 20 cigarette lighters? All of them advertising railroads, airlines, new bras and other things every family ought to have around the house. Lighters like that disappear quick, and what with leaving them on counters and such, I am back to matches again. . Then there was a fancy coffee warmer, with a gold base and a candle for heating up purposes. This was a dandy, and is a nice ornament, except all of the cof fee pots we have keep the brew warm until you pull the plug. One of the loveliest gifts, though, was a quill pen, dunked into colored beads. It's a won derful mantel piece, even though it won't write a line. I guess one of the nicest things we got, though, was a jug of grog, smuggled in from North Carolina. Real white corn squeezins. We've got that hid away for a special occasion. APPLE MAN Eau Claire, Mich. (U.R) W. Teichman, father of Michigan's 1955 "Apple Queen." said he grows more peaches on his 285- acre farm here than he does apples. and directed by Eric Von Stro heim. But it was not finished. The star of the movie was the Marquie de La Falaise de La Coudraye, etc. better known as Gloria Swanson, the first American actress to marry a ti tle. Now that the world is about to have a "Princess Kelly" Rain ier, I have been asked how it feels to exchange plain Miss or Mrs. for a different sounding word. How did I feel? Well! Let me see I felt all right and quite frankly no different except that I noticed more people made a fuss over me because of my ti tle than they would have over my own earned fame. Hostesses Swoon Especially in restaurants. Headwaiters simply adore the sound of a title, and hostesses all but swoon at the thought of hav ing one at their garden or din ner parties. No matter if it's only a mere baroness, the lowliest rung on the title ladder. Still it's a title, and a title seems to have some thing magic about it, because,.! am sure, it is a hangover from our fairytale reading days. The Cinderella story has always been a good theme, and still is despite the DRS (displayed roy alty). The community will hum for days at the prospects of enter taining this appendage to a person, though a Nobel prize winner might be more enlight ening or for that matter more entertaining. I have noticed in Europe since the war that a few persons have discarded the use of their titles but continue to have plenty of evidence around as a constant reminder (to others) that there is one in the famly. Reminders Displayed You can hardly miss the cor onet oh their stationery, calling cards and linens in the bed rooms, bathrooms and dining room. This kind of evidence is usually accompanied with whis pers of "My dear, don't say any thing, but he or she has a title but of course NEVER uses it very democratic." Whether or not it's democrat ic, believe me, I'm going to pull my title out of mothballs when the name Gloria Swanson no longer gets me a good table in a crowded restaurant! If Bar bara Hutton, who just before her recent marriage to a baron, can register at the Ritz in Paris as a princess, though she's had a few plain husbands in between, so can I. After all, she and Grace Kelly have millions to rely on and I've just got the rickety bed I made for myself. It will . require another 60 years to complete the job of mapping the nation at the pres ent rate, according to the U.S. geological survey.
