On THe Side By E. V. Durling (Oiitributtd by King Fuhtrea Syndicate. Inc.) Have you a daughter who is a bachelorette. or a son who Is a single man? Has either decided on a matrimonial mate? All single young people should have a knowledge of character anal ysis to aid m choosing a worth while life partner. They should know for example, that long slender hands indicate a dream er. Square hands reveal the pos sessor is practical and has good chances for success. Red-haired people usually have healthy children. A receding chin doesn't mean that a man is a weak character. On the contrary, it in dicates he is obstinate and strong willed. A high forehead doesn't Indicate unusual Intelligence. Many a low brow is very smart, successful fellow. Blondes are not as neurotic as brunettes and, therefore, being less irritable are easier to get along with. Sidelights In Continental Kurope etiquet te demands the kissing form of salutation be restricted to mar ried women. Hence the song titled "I Kiss Your Hand, Ma dame"... The pot name Sir Laurence Olivier has for his wife Vivien Leigh is "Puss." Some husbands have curious pet names for their spouses. I know a fellow who calls his wife "Butch" ... As for the claim that men who are lucky at cards are unlucky in love, there was one notable exception. That highly successful lover, Casanova, was very lucky at cards. His favorite game was faro. . . Who is respon sible for the horrible idea of putting tomatoes in clam chow der? That is a culinary crime comparable to putting a poached egg on corned beef hash. Brides At church weddings 60 per per cent of the brides arrive late. How about your bride? Not long ago when a bride arrived at the church 10 minutes be hind schedule, the bridegroom reprimanded her very sharply. The bride, a redhead, answered in kind. That's the only quarrel between a bride and groom I have heard of taking place on the church steps. Still, last I heard of this couple they were very happily married. Asides Zsa Zsa Gabor recently said. "None of my ex-husbands has married again. They know how awful marriage can be" . . . Those, who should know, say the most effective disguise Is a re-shaped nose or an artificial nose. Incidentally, those who say Hitler is still alive claim he had a facial operation which called for a re-shaped nose. Bar "At our bar," writes John Koeppler noted San Franclsca cafe maestro, "we average 20 drinks to a fifth. I don't see how a respectable drink can be made any less than 1V4 ounces. We do not permit a bartender to use a measuring glass. The sight of a bartender measuring out a drink as though afraid tt)e customer might get a drop too much puts a respectable profes sion to shame." Please Note Note a $15,000 Las Vegas, Nev. debt was paid In silver dol lars. What is your guess as to the weight of 13,000 silver dol lars? How much help would a fellow need to carry it to the bank? Passing By Lynne Gordon. Smart looking professional hypnotist. One of the few her sex so engaged. In hor night club entertaining Lynne specializes in hynotising men and making them act fool ishly. This always goes over big with the females present. Of course, the men consent to be ing hypnotized and cooperate with the hypnotist. It is said nobody can be hypnotized against his will. However, I have heard differently. Anyway, think of the danger of a situa tion in which a woman could hypnotize a man without regard to his consent or cooperation. Incidentally it is claimed that women born under Scorpio have magnetic eyes and can to some extent hypnotize a man. That is why so many men propose to Scorpio girls and wonder the next morning why they did it. Or, so say the stargazers. Fans The first mechanical air con ditioning gadget invented 102 years ago is still very popular as a summertime cooler off. I am referring to the electric fan, invented in 1854. Incidentally, who first said, "I have a suppres sed desire to throw an eggg in to an electric fan?" This has been credited to O. O. Mclntyre, Irvin Cobb, Fannie Hurst and Will Rogers. However, the man who first voiced it was Oliver Herford. Portland Police Chief Arrested in Vice Probe Case Portland U.B Jim Purcell Jr., 48. Portland chief of police, was arrested Friday night on charges of incompetency, mal feasance and delinquency in of fice. He posted $500 bail and was released. Purcell was one of 28 persons arrested as the climax of a nine week Grand Jury investigation of vice and corruption in Ore gon's largest city. The jury re turned a total of 32 indictments, including two against Multnom ah County Dist. Atty. William Langley and four against Clyde Crosby, top official of the Team sters Union in Oregon, and perjury Indictments against eight members of the Portland police force. Purcell asked that the public "withold judgement until all of the facts in connection with this sordid case became public and perhaps then they will be able to understand why, as the record will show, when I refused to let Portland become a Utopia for gangsterism I virtually signed a warrant for my own arrest." Purcell recalled that Port land's police force Won a na tional rating of No. 1 among all police departments in 1955 and was commended by the American Social .Hygiene As sociation for eliminating vice and prostitution in the city to "an irreducible minimum." The charges against Purcell listed in the Grand Jury indict ment Included allegations that he failed to prosecute known gamblers and prostitutes and that he failed to detect and sup press acceptance of bribes by some officers. Langley was indicted for mal feasance and for feloniously con spiring to permit gambiling in the county. Crosby was accused of felonious conspiracy and extortion. Growers Reminded Of Hormone Spray Hormone spray should be ap plied soon for control of fruit drop, C. B. Cordy, county agent for horticulture, reminded fruit growers Saturday. Bartletts should be sprayed by Aug. 10, D'Anjous between Aug. 20 and 30, Bosc and Cornice about Sept. 1 and Seckells be tween Aug. 15 and 20. Cordy said hormone is effec tive for about 30 days on Bosc, 20 days on Bartlett, 20 days on Cornice, D'Anjou and Seckel. The sprays should be timed to be applied about that far ahead of the completion of harvest. The county agent recommends 25 grama of hormone per acre on Bartlett and Bosc, and 37 grams on Cornice, D'Anjou and Seckel.
