On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Fajtvret Syndicjr.. Inc.) At times I feel my racing sys tem may not be capable of sup porting me in my old age. Of course, there is nothin? wrong with my system. It is the per centage it may have to battle against. The mutuel "bite," now 15 per cent, may rise to 20. That would be an insurmountable ob stacle for even my system. G. B. Shaw once said, "write plays, young man, they will keep you in your old age." That also goes for sonjs. So, I think I will write several plays and a few songs and not burden my racing system with supporting me in my old age In the manner to which I have become accustomed. I will start off with a play with a court trial background. That is the best bet for playwrights who are more interested in money than art. I cannot recall a period in Broadway history when there was not at least one such play on the list of hits. Right now we have two "Inherit The Wind" and "Witness For The Prosecu tion." As for the song, I will follow the advice of that highly successful music publisher, who said, "write a song that a fellow can sing to his girl while danc ing with her." Always Th Brldn Who Is the youngest woman In "the U.S.A. who has been mar ried the most times? How about Mrs. Juanita Deere of Oklaho ma, who is 33, and has been married 17 times? Mrs. Deere became a mother for the first time at the age of 11. Last I heard of her she was consider ing taking an 18th husband! Asking Queries from clients. Q. How old is Barbara Huttnn, how many times has she married, how much did she inherit, how much has she left of her Inheritance? A. Barbara, now the Baroness Von Cramm. Is 43, she has been mar ried six times. She inherited $28. 000.000. Don't know how much she has left but she very recent ly said to a reporter. "I still have loads of money." Q. What is the origin of the name of that thor oughbred called "Sometime Thing"? A. It was Inspired by the song in the George Gersh win opera "Porgy and Bess" titled "Woman Is A Sometime Thing." Gifts "Beware of the Greeks when they bring gifts." Who first said that and why? It referred, of course, to the ancient Greeks. I wonder if it would be fair to apply this warning to modern Russians. Anyway, when Rus sia's representatives. Bulganin and Khrushchev, recently visited Great Britain, they brought gifts for Queen Elizabeth and Mrs. Anthony Eden. These gifts were sable stoles, each estimated to be worth $42,000. Diet Sir Robert Ho Tung, late Hong Kong multimillionaire, ate the same meal three times a day. For breakfast, lunch and dinner Sir Robert had a bowl of rice and watered milk. Some diet, what? However, it must have its good points. Sir Robert lived to 90. Lot Machin. Have you a son who has ac cepted some young woman's pro posal of marriage? How certain is he the marriage will be a suc cess? Nearing perfection at the celebrated burden neurological institute of Bristol. England, is a machine that will be used to determine whether or not two people will get along as husband and wife. It will measure their compatibility. The inventor is Dr. W. Grey Walter. It is a high ly scientific instrument and its inventor resents very much hav ing it referred to as "the love machine." Naming Baby What is the extent of your ability to think up names for babies? Are you frequently called on for such help from young couples? How quickly could you give a female child an "alphabetical name"? Such a name is one which includes names beginning with every letter in the alphabet in alpha betical order. For example a graduate of the Pellaston High school in Michigan was named Althea Beverly Carol Diana Eva Felice Greta Harline Joanne Karen Laquita Maurine Naomi Orpha Patricia Queenie Rebec ca Shirley Teresa Una Valeeta Wanda Xella Yolanda Zoe Kal- hofen. Now you try to figure out an "alphabetical name," not using any of the names afore mentioned.

K. M My son Is 22 and has been out of the service more than two years. In that time he must have had about 100 jobs. Some have lasted a half day, others as long as six weeks. In the end he always gets into an argument with someone or starts coming late so he'll get fired. He claims there is no opportunity for advancement at the jobs he takes, but he has hod jobs with friends of mine, who were will ing to give him opportunities if he had the patience to do some menial, discouraging task for a time. He is building up a terrible job record and soon nobody will be willing to employ iim. I think there is something wrong with the boy and he may need psychiatric treatment, but he re fuses It. e e e Peter M. The "opportuni ties" my father's friends have been willing to give me have all been in businesses I don't care for. I just seem to have had some bad luck with jobs and my fath er is trying to make a mental case out of me because of it. Why stick to a job when you are net getting anywhere? I can size up a job pretty well by now and I can tell whether it's worth sticking to. I don't mind menial work if I can see something a't the end of it. e e Tha Council: Peter certainly shows immaturity in his ap proach to the job problem if he thinks he can size up a job and its opportunities in the short time he devotes- to each of his enterprises, but his father is probably being too hasty about wanting to hustle him off for psychiatric treatment if the job situation is his only reason for doing so. Peter's conduct is fairly typi cal of a young man who is flounV dering career-wise. It is possible that he simply wants to experi ment in different fields. If this is the case he should acknowl-' edge it to himself and his father, and decide in advance that he will give a reasonable minimum to each of his undertakings. That minimum must certainly exceed six weeks. If Peter gets into arguments with people on his jobs, it is possible that he is bored and seeking some diversion. Because he lacks incentive and direction ne can i get interested In any thing he is doing although mere are uiraouoteaiy oppor tunities all around him. Peter should try to get some vocation al advice. The achool from which he was graduated may be able to help him, or a clergyman or social agency in his community may be able to direct him to a reliable vocational counseling service. Once Peter has something like a career goal and a plan for training himself, either through study or on-the-job training, he should be able to stick to a job as long as it is advantageous to him from a realistic point of view. If he doesn't, it may then be worth investigating his men tal and emotional problems. (Copyright 19SB. General Feature Corp.)
