The folksy, bushy - topped Secretary o f Labor recalled during an in terview that his first job re turned him all of $2 a week in Barman Nichols take home pay. He worked three or four hours a week after school and 12 hours on Satur day. "My dad was a newspaper re porter on the Elizabeth, N.J., Times, now out of business," he said. "I suppose in 1913 he was making close to S10 or $12 a week. I wanted to help." Remember First Pay Day "I'll never forget my first pay day," the secretary said, hitch ing a leg over a red leather chair in his comfortable office. Seems the boss had just paid him off with two one dollar bills. The. boss also handed him a dime and told Jim to run around the corner and get him a spool of dental floss.

Haven't their mothers, their Man-Caused Fires in State Totaled 821 Salem Man-caused fires in Oregon forests totaled 821 dur ing the 1955 season, more than the previous year but below the five-year average of 885 fires, according to the annual report of the Keep Oregon Green asso ciation issued by Executive Sec retary Albert Wiesendanger. The report pointed out that while the season as a whole was not too serious, hazardous weath er in late August and the first of September contributed to an out break of fires by lightning which resulted in considerable losses.

State Income Taxes May Indicate Drop Salem U.R) State income taxes may show1 a drop because of lower farm incomes but the state may come out with a small "cushion" in the year ahead. State Sen. Rudie Wilhelm Jr of Portland, told the Oregon State Farmers Union here Friday. Wilhelm is chairman of the " Legislative Interim committee on Taxation. . He said "Unless we increase expenses more than normal, the present tax , struc ture will carry us along." Almost one-half the residents of Paris were born and reared within that city.

Only one thing he could do was to buy the floss out of his take-home, which at that point shrunk to $1.90. Learns About Father When he got home he learned that the senior Mr. Mitchell not only was a reporter, but a stern father. - , "He whopped me good," the Secretary said. Time marched on and finally Jim had saved up enough of his potato spurring and egg cand ling money to reach for higher learning. And right in the middle of his reaching he met and wed Isabelle Nulton. Mitch ell had a chance to buy $1000 in stock of a chain grocery. He went to a bank in Rahway, N.J., and asked to borrow the money. . '. "I must have looked either brazen or honest," he said, "but the banker went along with me. "That went along pretty well until the bubble broke and in 1927 I was not only busted but $18,000 iri debt," Mitchell said. "It took me from 1927 to 1941 to get well. I drove trucks and I loaded lumber and I sold wood by the stick." By E. V. Durling Feature Syndicate. Inc.) best friends or their physical culture teachers told them that flat heeled footwear makes a tall girl appear awkward? Also has a tendency to make her shuffle along- and slouch a bit. High heels improve gait and car riage. Cause her limbs to seem better streamlined. Generally make her look more graceful. On this, all experts on the sub ject are agreed. Sidelights The champion all time pro lific papa of Ireland was Michael Fenlon, of the County of Wexford. Fenlon was the father of 64 children.

Mrs. Hobson is the rejuvenation , expert, who frequently ' says she had no fi nancial success at all until she followed the advice of a numer ologist that she put an "H" in her first name. That is, chang ing it from Irene to Irehne. So young woman, if your luck hasn't been so good lately and your name is Irene, give this a triaL : Among the Married If you had your life to live over would you marry the same girl again? Of the husbands asked that question, 64 per cent said they would repeat as to brides. Twenty-four per cent an swered in the negative. Twelve per ' cent were undecided. , No body has asked a number of wives if they would repeat as to husbands. Better skip that. Only about 25 per cent of wom en marry for love! in the first place. So the . percentage of those who would say they would marry .the i.same man., again might be very; low.
