Newspaper Page TextFOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, February 2, 1956 On The Side By E. V. Darling (Distributed "by King 'trac Syndicate. Inc.) It has long been the policy of this department to exert extreme diligence in discovering excep tions to rules. The rule in the great majority of airlines is to employ only bachelorettes as stewardesses. The exception is the highly efficient and long es tablished Capital Airlines which, in addition to bachelorettes, also employs widows and divorcees as stewardesses. A commenda ble policy. Women who have been married have a better un derstanding of men than bachelor- girlg and are more tolerant as to the idiosyncracies of the male of the species. They are also more restrained in their hus band hunting than the bachelor ettes and are not likely to con centrate on a young and hand some male traveler and so be in clined to neglect the women and elderly gentlemen among the passengers. Asking ' Queries- from clients: Q. I claim "Big Frenchy" operated the Hotsy Totsy night club in Manhattan during the prohibi tion era. Right? A. Wrong, sir. "Legs" Diamond was the owner of the place you mention. "Big Frenchy" operated the Club Na poleon. ... Q. Is Dr. John Thoburn, the diamond mine mil lionaire still single? How old is he? What is his address? A. Doctor Thoburn, the world's rich est bachelor, is now 47. He has on several occasions indicated he is very much in the mood to marry. He lives in Nairobi, Ken ya, East Africa.

Sidelights The patron saint for house wives is St. Martha; for tailors, St. Hornobonus; and for news papermen, St. Francis de Sales. ... It was Luisa Tetrazzini who said, "San Francisco is my coun try. Tetrazzini was 36 when she sang the "Last Rose of Summer" at Lotta's Fountain, San Fran cisco, on Christmas Eve, 1910. Morning Meal The most enthusiastic break fast consumers in this country are the New Englanders. It has been ever thus. In 1806 a traveler named John Lambert wrote, "We had a typical New England breakfast consisting of eggs, fried pork, beefsteak, apple tarts, pie, pickles, cheese, cider, tea and toast dipped in melted but ter and milk." Asides The most morbid of all mod ern playwrights was Eugene O'Neill. In thirty-one plays by O'Neill there are depicted eleven murders, seven suicides,' nine teen deaths and six insanities . . . One of the most important of the rules of Scotland Yard for the questioning of suspects is "Don't ask a man where he was last night until you have already found out where he was." Said He It was Ezio Pinza who so right ly observed, "Too many women cut their hair like men, wear clothes like men, or wear almost no clothes at all. A man likes a woman to be feminine and he also likes to use his imagina tion." I Perfect Meal What do you think of a lunch consisting of a cheese sandwich on rye bread and a bottle of beer?
