tain that bobbed hair and simi

make a woman's head look smal

for equipment. It is said that
fishing enthusiasts buy one
fourth of all types of sporting eq

A female born under Taurus
(April 21-May 20) is a "man's
woman." Some women are good
sweethearts and some are good
pals. A Taurus woman is both.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov.22) women
are attracted by men who make
them suffer. Or so say the star
gazers. Get II Right
It was in the 1926 Rose Bowl
game between Alabama and
Washington State in which John
ny Mack Brown starred. Johnny
played for Alabama. Final score
was 20 to 19. Many sportscribers
consider that contest the great
est of 11 Rose Bowl games. The
classic of the classics.
Literary Note
Are you writing a novel? Have
you decided on the title? Don't
be too hasty as to that angle.
Keep trjing for a better title
if the first doesn't look so good.
Margaret Mitchell first titled her
celebrated best seller. "Tomor
row Is Another Day" and then
changed it to "Gone With The
Wind." Thackery titled a novel
"Pencil Sketches of English So
ciety" and then changed it to
"Vanity Fair." Philip Gibbs
called a book "What The Censor
Fo iade" and then changed it
to "Now It Can Be Told."
Whistler tryed an extremely
clever piece of work "The Cor
respondence of James McNeil
Whistler" and changed it to "The
Gentle Art of Making Enemies."
Please Note
It has long been maintained
by many medical men that an
uncontrollable desire to consume
hard liquor in the morning indi
cates the drinker is on the way
to a drunkard's grave. There also
has been a poetic warning with
regard to this situation which
goes as follows:
Drink in the morning
Doctors say take warning
And claim your inevitable fate
That of an incurable inebriate
Smokers
A pipe smoker challenges me
to name a great poet who was a
cigar smoker. That's easy. Ten
nyson was a cigar smoker. He
lived to be 92 and smoked
cigars regularly right up to the
end. Now I challenge the afore
mentioned pipe smoker to name
a pipe smoker who was a greater
poet than Tennyson. Incident
ally, both Kipling and Byron
were cigar smokers.
Thunderstreaks Set
Records Across Nation
Albany, Ga., (U.R) Two F84F
Thunderstreak jet fighters criss
crossed the nation covering 4350
miles in eight hours and 31
minutes without trying to set
any record.
The fighters yesterday flew
from Turner Air Force Base here
to Los Angeles, back to Savan
nah, Ga., and finally returning
to Albany, averaging 506 miles
per hour by refueling in the
air. The jaunt was " a routine
training mission with no record
involved in the planning or
execution," the Air Force said.
LIMITED CAPACITY
Andalusia, 111. (U.R) Robert
Johnson, celebrating his 100th
birthday, admitted he had drunk
a little beer and a little whiskey
during his lifetime. "But I nev
er tried to drink it all," he added.
A Nichol's Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Ptm Future Wtim
Washington (U.R) The
scene: .A joint congressional
hearing on Capitol Hill.'
y . The pnnci-
i; pais ax i ii e
start, anyway:
Sen . William
Kerr Scott,
Democrat
from North
Carolina, and
the Repub'-
1 1 c a n repre
sentative from
Harmon Nichok Allegan,
Mich., Clare No Pockets;" Hoff
man. It seems that Hoffman, who is
billed as the best fisherman in
congress, was. yelling loud and
long on the issue at hand every
thing to do about lumber. As a
Michigander, Hoffman knows
considerable about the subject.
Scott begged the chairman of
the joint group for permission to
have a word. He not only had a
word but several.
While he was about it, he pre
sented the gentleman from the
Wolverine state with a plug of
"peach and honey" chewing to
bacco, produced as he pointed
out by Taylor Brothers down
there in N.C. Hoffman stuffed it
in the breast pocket of his coat
the only pocket he'll permit his
tailors to put in his clothes.
The senator doesn't run around
passing out plugs of this wonder
ful stuff just for laughs. He hap
pens to be the only full-time to
bacco chawer in the congress.
Weaned en Stuff
The senator was weaned, he
says, on the stuff back on the
farm in Haw River, N.C. That's
also where he got a likin' to
walkin'.
Here in Washington, he does a
lot of walking. He lives five
miles from his office work bench
and it takes him two hours to
make it, "counting traffic lights
and time out for spittin'."
You can't walk into his office
without walking away with a
souvenir plug of the "peach and
honey," whether you like the
stuff or not. You also have to
walk around a number of spit
toons. Scott tells his visitors, home
grown voters and others alike,
that chewing tones up the sys
tem and prepares one "for the
hard times ahead."
On those early morning walks
he's .almost 60 so he enjoys
the luxury of a cab home at
night. He has a system: he takes
a single chaw if he is right with
the world and thinks his horo
scope says he should face the
challenge of a bright new day
standing up. ;
Spits to Windward
If he is carrying weight on his
shoulders and wearing a worried
look, he takes two chaws. And
he spits over the sidewalks twice
as hard, to windward if possible,
thereby missing those in the
passing mob.
"Walkin' and chawin' and spit
tin' helps me take off weight,"
the senator said. "When I came
to Washington I weighed 200
pounds."
The gentleman from North
Carolina now rocks the scales at
a trim 170 and his friends say
that he looks younger than ever.
His hair is still coal black in
most areas, although the test of
time has added a few streaks of
gray, which are becoming, in
deed.
The girls in his . office gave-
him a big surprise at Christmas.
They bought him one of those
yearly package deals from a lo
cal florist. So each day he now
sports a plug in his jaw and a
red rose bud in his coat lapel.

io Cases Get
Welfare Assistance
Portland (U.R) The Ore

Friday agreed to pay for part of
the care of welfare polio pa
tients described as "plateau"

was suggested by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis to release March of Dimes
funds forepersons who can be
helped.
Dr. Charles Price, regional
medical consultant for the 11
western states for the founda

"plateau" patients are those who
used to die but who are now
saved. He said they have reach
ed "a point of no return" in their
cures but need continuing care.
Dr. Price said the national
average cost for caring for the
,?atients was -about $300 per
month per person. He said the
foundation stood ready to pro
vide the difference between that
average and the maximum al
lowed by the state welfare bud

biennium. It refused to provide
funds for care of children in the

hospital.

New Mobile Station
Gets Crowded On Bus
Ukiah, Calif. (U.R) The Civil
Defense corps in California has
a new emergency mobile com
munications center but it's a
bit crowded.
In a vehicle the size of a Grey
hound bus the corps has man
aged to squeeze 13 radios, a tele
phone, all the necessary elec
tronic gear and space for 60
persons to work the equipment.
Hollywood (U.R) Kim No
vak, now a full-fledged movie
star, served notice today that
marriage ideas
have gone.in-
i J X
for a while.
For the scant
two years Kim
has been an
actress, life
was unchang
ed for the
pretty blonde
Aline Mosby from Chicago.
She steadily dated business
man Mcfc Krim. She lived in Hol
lywood's famed house for hope
ful actresses, the Studio club,
and drove a bicycle to work.
But in the last two months the
apprentice at Columbia Studio
has blossomed into a star. Her
picture with Frank Sinatra on
narcotics, "The Man With the
Golden Arm," established her as
a worthwhile actress. "Picnic,"
starring Kim and William Hold
en, will be in the 1956 -Oscar
race.
Bus Driver Dies of
Heart Attack In Bus
Union City, Tenn. (U.R) Bus
driver Larry W. Austin kept his
1,000,000 mile saftey record un
blemished to the end.
Austin, 42, did not feel well
when he pulled in on a run from
Evansville, Ind., Thursday but
after seeing a doctor he decided
to continue his trip to Memphis
with a load of passengers.
Two blocks from the station
he pulled his bus carefully to
the side of the road and slump
ed over dead of a heart attack,
his safety record intact.
ATTEMPTED ARSON
. Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) Leon
Robinson got a six-month jail
sentence for attempted arson
after he admitted, building a fire
under his girl friend's bed be
cause she refused to get up and
cook some fish he had caught.
Now Kim is dating other men,
including Sinatra. She's moving
out of the Studio club soon. And
like many another girl who
drives for stardom, thoughts of
marriage are in second place.
"I don't feel like going into
marriage right now," she big
eyed blonde said. "I don't want
to move into one thing before
I've settled another. This spring
I'd like to go to Europe and see
the world."
' Hollywood figures Krim must
be a very patient man to hang
around for two years and the ac
tress agreed. "He's very under
standing," she said.
"I still go but with Mac but if
I want to go to dinner with
somebody interesting, I do," she
said.
Apartment Switch Planned
The 22-year-old new star in a
few months will move from the
Studio club into" her own apart
ment to live alone for the first
time.
"I dread the change," she said,
wistfully. "I don't like to give
up things that are good for me.
Living there prevented gossip
and I made many nice friends."
And how, does she feel about
the new stardom?
"If these last two pictures had
been bad I might have headed
home," she admitted. "But, after
all, I've got more right to errors
because of being so new at this.
I've been here two years and
was given a starring role in my
first picture ("Pushover"). I
don't expect too much of myself
at this stage of the game."
