In a Few Words . It was Paulette Goddard who observed, "Slacks are an abom ination. Shorts are all right, but skirts are better. Women just weren't built for wearing trou sers." . ... Ed Howe said, "When we see a woman who has been married and divorced a number of times, we aire reminded of a man who is always failing in business." That Check Among the things this country needs is a good system to decide who shall pay the check, it is ridiculous for a group of people, to battle' for the, check after a luncheon or dinner. Also, the type' of fellow who insists upon always paying, can become quite a bore and a pest. Best way is to let ; everybody pay . their own check. Second best is to toss dice or draw cards to see who pays. Get It Right Gene Tunney was "a brilliant boxer'- but "a light puncher." Sq says, a sportscribe. A ridic ulous statement.. Some of these Johnny come latelys of the sport pages should spend a little time studying the history of boxing. Tunney packed a terrific punch. Jack Dempsey said the hardest blow he ever stopped was one Tunney landed on him in the seventh round of the Chicago fight. Said Dempsey .of this punch, "it was not a question in my mind of being knocked out. I thought I was going to die." Among the Married Women have a desire to be dominated. So alleged experts of life among the married repeat edly claim..-1 believe the choice of the word "dominated" is unfortunate. That means to rule over, to command, to compel obedience. No intelligent wife wants to be pushed around like that. Women like to be led. To be guided by their husbands.. To have them capable of making a final decision. Having such a man around the house increases a. woman's feeling of security. Having a timid, indecisive spouse inspires much wifely worry. Please Note - "Dined last 'night at Mario Uchard's. Present . was . Paul D'Yvoy, who tells Parisians in a daily column what is going on in Paris." Jules deGoncourt wrote that in his diary just about 100 years ago. On Dec. 5, 1857, to be exact. So you see the gossip columnist is not, as some people claim, a recent development.

These farmers, many of whom belong to more than one or ganization, represent some 7,- 600,000 memberships in coop eratives in the marketing, 'farm supply,, and related service fields. The individual farmers making up the multiple mem bership total more than three fifths of all farmers in the United States. - These statistics, compiled by the Department of Agriculture, show total membership for the 1953-54 year rose 100,000 over the previous year. Despite increased membership, the num ber of cooperatives fell slightly. There were 10,058 coops in 1953 54 compared with 10,114 the year before. The department said consolidations were respon sible for most of the decline; The net dollar business of the co-ops for 1953-54 was $9,500, 000,000, almost as much as in the preceding year in spite of declin ing prices for many products cooperatively handled, such as livestock, grain, and feed.

The duke told a National Farmers Union dinner that he was supposed to propose a toast to agriculture "but I know less about the subject than anybody else here." He added that four years ago he knew nothing about farming but since had learned "a bit more about it." "I am afraid our agent would probably disagree with that re mark because both the queen and I "get a lot of fun out of interfering with his work," the duke said. from MEDFORD v - -t. for only $jp other rates from Medford Cleveland ...... ... $1.90 , Denver. ......... 1.35 Seattle. . ... . . . .85 San Francisco . . . . . . .75.
