On The Side

(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.

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

Corvallis E. R. Jackman,
Oregon State college range
specialist, has been awarded the
U.S. department of agriculture
superior service award for 1956.

As a leader in developing the
Oregon seed industry, a $33

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.
Articles in national magazines
include Burns, Oregon" writ
