Durlinq (Distributed by King Futurn Syndicate. Inc.) An eminent mathematician checked one roulette table at Monte Carlo for 48 consecutive days. He recorded the results, as to red and black of 30.575 spins of the wheel. The black came up 15.292 times and the red 15.283. This was a difference of only nine. As for playing a color on a system of progression, that is flirting with dynamite. No such system has yet been devised that will survive the losing runs at the Monte Carlo tables. On one occasion, the red on one table failed to come up in 26 spins of the wheel. So, the followers of the red had 26 consecutive losers. Sidelights It was in 1922 that the Protes tant Episcopal House of Bishops voted 36 to 27 to take the "obey" out of the marriage ceremony ... A Baltimorean who believes his wife is a double for Ava Gardner asks for the measure ments of that well streamlined cinema luminary.

Mary Roberts Rine hart was 27 and the mother of three children before she began to write for money. Her first novel was "The Circular Stair case." I still think it is her best Over There Up to now Paris, Insofar as clothes are concerned, has been a woman's town. Now a group of tailors specializing in male attire has become very active and is already giving London some strong competition. This group of Paris tailors for men stages show ings the same as the dress design ers. The average price of a high grade suit for a man in Paris is reported to be $80. That is con siderably lower than the London price. Night Ball Night baseball dosen't appeal to me. It isn't a fair test of the relative ability of two teams. The club having a speed ball pitcher has an outstanding advantage. In 1947 the St. Louis Cardinals had several speed ball specialists on the pitching staff. And what happened? They won 47 and lost 46 day games. At night they won 42 games and lost 19. Get It Right Commenting on the char acteristics of flaming tressed females, a contemporary says there never has been a red-haried Saint. He's wrong. St. Helena was red-haired. . .Note onion soup referred to as a favorite dish of Parisians." Most Paris ians don't particularly care for onion soup. Is seldom seen on restaurant menu cards in Paris. Only place it is regularly served is in the Hallos market section. Tipping The term "tip" is said to be derived from the first letters of the words in the phrase, "To In- sure Promptness. If that is so then the tip should be given in advance. That s not a bad idea. I know a fellow who does it reg ularly and he gets wonderful service. Then there was "Death Valley" Scott, the great spender from the West, who used to tear a $50 bill in half. Then he gave one half to the waiter, telling E. R. Jackman, SOC Specialist, Gets Agriculture Award Corvallis E. R. Jackman, Oregon State college range specialist, has been awarded the U.S. department of agriculture superior service award for 1956. Jackman was cited "for out standing success in promoting Oregon's widespread adoption of grassland agriculture and for leadership in development of the state's multi-million dollar seed Industry." He has been with OSC extension service service since 1920. As a leader in developing the Oregon seed industry, a $33 million annual business in its peak year, Jackman helped org anize the Oregon Seed Growers' league and was secretary for its first 10 years. He also helped organize and was secretary of the Oregon Wheat Growers Ec onomic . conference in 1926 which was forerunner of the Oregon Wheat Growers league. In recent years, Jackman has been particularly active in East ern Oregon range-improvement programs including sagebrush removal and seeding of adapted range grasses. He is past presi dent of the Pacific northwest section of the American Society of Range Management. In 1950, he instituted the society's Youth Range camp that meets out on the range one week each sum mer to study range management. Jackman has done much to advance agriculture and to in terpret rural life through news paper and magazine stories.
