A Nichol's Worth of . . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Feature Writer
Washington (U.R) It looks as
if, this being an election year,
President Eisenhower again will
haul off and
pitch the first
pill to open
the baseball
season. This
sort of relaxes
things in the
front office of
the Wilson
Sporting
Goods outfit
Harman Nichols wnicn always
hand-tools a glove for our
leader.
One year Mr. Eisenhower said
he would, then changed his
Blind and took off for Georgia
to play golf. Dick Nixon, the
vice president stood by as the
relief hurler. But it rained, and
Ike came back and did the hon
ors himself. That meant two ex
pensive gloves, one for the Pres
ident and one for Nixon.
An officer of the Internal
Revenue Service was walking
down the hall the other day
when he ran across a 90-year-old
fellow leaning on a cane.
"May I help you onto an ele
vator, or something?" the tax
man asked.
'No, sir," the old timer said.
"I can travel. I'm the happiest
man in the world. I just learned
that I am retired and won't have
to pay you lugs another cent as
long as I live. Howdy, man!"
The Post Office Department
got this report from a Charles
ton, S.C. mailman. He says he
picked up a letter with a pen
ciled notation saying: "If this
doesn't get there in 30 days,
please walk faster."
The Post Office also hears
that a lady was having a little
trouble with the "Mail-o-mat"
machine in the post office sub
station in New York's Grand
Central Station. Abraham Salo-
way offered to help.
"Want to mail something?" he
asked.
"Young man," the lady said,
"All I want is a soda."
Abraham obligingly fetched
one from across the lobby.
The congressional baseball
teams are not training in the
South this year. Too busy.
But the charity Washington
Star game will be staged at Grif
fith Stadium June 19, anyway.
The managers will be Sid Her
long of Florida for the Demo
crats and Glenn Davis of Wis
consin for the Republicans,.
On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)
Why did you promise love to me
And not that promise keep?
Why did you swear my eyes were
bright
Yet leave those eyes to weep?
How could you say my face was
fair
And yet that face forsake?
How could you win my heart
let leave that heart to break?
Mallett.
What article do worrien lose
most? Answer is, umbrellas. Rec
ords of "lost and found" depart
ments reveal women lose ten
times as many umbrellas as men.
Women try to think of too many
things at the same time. That's
why they are always forgetting
some of their possessions. Fe
males should have their um
brellla attached to a belt. There
Is on the market a combination
belt and umbrella holder. The
umbrella fits into a scabbard
like a sword.
A Regular Fellow
Nowadays more attention is
paid to Lincoln's birthday than
Washington's birthday. That is,
by commentators. To this I
strongly object. Lincoln was a
great man. But Washington was
a far greater one. Incidentally,
our school histories are greatly
lacking in detail as to the pri
vate life of George Washington.
So the average person's knowl
edge of the life of our first Pres
ident is not what it should be.
Washington was what we call
"a regular fellow." The type of
man most men greatly admire
personally. He was a scientific
farmer, a distiller of fine liquor
and owner and breeder of thor
oughbreds. He liked to give par
ties. His favorite kind of party
was a clambake. He was an en
thusiastic fisherman, an ardent
duck hunter, a clever billiard
player and skillful at cards. He
liked to dance. At 64 he was
still dancing every dance at
balls. He died after catching cold
on a long horseback ride in the
winter. It was Col. Henry "Light
Horse Harry" Lee who said of
Washington: "To the memory of
the man, first in war, first in
peace, first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
Asking
Queries from clients. Q Who
introduced the song titled
"Sleepy Time Gal"? A Evelyn
Nesbit. Incidentally, Evelyn,
who was quite a songster in her
days as a vaudevillian. also in
troduced, "Yes, We Have No
Bananas" and 'Sprinkle Me With
Kisses So My Love Will Grow."
Q What is the difference be-
1 tween the turf terms "handily"
and 'breezing" as applied to
workouts? A "Handily" means
the horse was permitted to have
his own way as to speed. "Breez
ing" means the animal was held
under restraint.
Get It Right
Regarding the question as to
who originated crepes suzette.
Get it right. Crepes suzette were
originated by Prosper Montagne,
then chef at the Cafe de Pans,
Monte Carlo. Were first concoct
ed for King Edward VIII of Eng
land and named after Suzette
an attractive flower girl His
Majesty admired.
Hoises and Women
:"As to how you should be
rated as an expert on horses; I
cannot say," writes a feminine
subscriber. "But what you don't
know about women would fill
several very large sized books
For example, you repeatedly
refer to a kiss on the cheek as a
chilly situation. A kiss on the
cheek can be very thrilling if
properly bestowed. So can a kiss
on the neck or shoulder. That is;
from the woman's point of view.
Most men, particularly Amer
ican men, aref inexcusably
awkward when kissing a woman
on the lips."
Washington U.R; Federal
mediators made a new try to
day at settling the' 149-day West
inghouse Electric Corp. strike.
Chances of settlement were
brighter.
Mediators called a meeting of
company and union negotiators
the first meeting since the
company accepted and the union
rejected a mediators' package
contract proposal last week.
Both sides agreed to attend.
And the striking AFL-CIO Elec
trical Workers Union announced
that at least one of its main ob
jections to the package proposal
one regarding shifting incen
tive workers to hourly wage
rates is removed.
The union also proposed a set
tling of its other major objec
tion one regarding discharged
strikers which it said would
fit in with the contract proposal.
The union originally had
termed the proposal "unaccept
able in its present form."
But the union made public a
series of letters between the
mediation panel, the company
and the union on the panel's
settlement proposal. And in re
leasing the correspondence,
union President James B. Carey
said the union "has made every
I possible attempt to reassume ne
gotiations" following its action
last week in turning down the
panel proposals -
The panel's ' settlement pro
posal called for a 5-year con
tract with wage increases rang
ing from a minimum of 25 cents
an hour over the period.
Kafe Smith To Return To Television Shows
New York -XI.P.) Ted Collins,
manager and business associate
of singer Kate Smith for the past
25 years, said last night he will
announce soon the date when
Miss Smith will return to tele
vision. Collins was reported improv
ing from a heart attack which
put him in an oxygen tent in
January. Miss Smith, who also
is a close personal friend of
Collins, said at the time she
would not sing again unless he
recovered.
Collins has returned to his
home and said Miss Smith would
keep the .five engagements for
which she signed with television
showman Ed Sullivan. She has
until June 24 to keep the
engagements.
The panel also recommended
that 57 of 98 strikers discharged
for alleged violence be rein
stated and that the cases of the
remaining 36 be submitted to
arbitration.
The union had fteen holding
out for reinstatement of all the ;
workers, but last week indi-1
cated some willingness to send i
some to arbitration.
The union also said that
"clarifying" language regarding
shifts of incentive workers to
hourly wage rates "constitutes a
satisfactory basis for reducing
this matter to contract provis
ions." The panel submitted the clari
fying language on the matter in
a letter to the union over the
week end.

stitution must be signed by 10
per cent of the number of peo

It takes a world of patience to brew the light,
refreshing beer... Blitz Weinhard. For the brewing
of the light, refreshing beer is a slow and leisurely
process ... it must not be rushed.
Infinite "brewing-patience" has been acquired by our
brewmaster, Dr. Max Zimmermann, during his many
years of brewing experience in Europe and America.
During his boyhood days in Hamburg,
Max Zimmermann roamed through his uncle's famous
Elbschloss Brewery. Here, he received his first
indoctrination in the skills essential to brewing
a fine beer. Dr. Zimmermann attended the University
of Hamburg and received his PhD. degree from the
University of Lewis and Greifswald in Pommern.
Before coming to Blitz Weinhard, Dr. Zimmermann
gained invaluable experience as a brewery technician
at the famed Schwartz Brewing Laboratories
in New York, and as technical director of one
of the nation's largest Milwaukee breweries.
Dr. Zimmermann's world-wide brewing knowledge
guides him in brewing today's Blitz Weinhard...
the light, refreshing beer. The combination of his
experience and the finest brewing ingredients
in the world brings you the refreshing taste and light
quality that northwesterners prefer in a beer.
That's why we suggest you discover for yourself
the light, refreshing beer . . . today's Blitz Weinhard.
