On The Side
v E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Futures Syndicate. Inc.)
Thir are too many loud
voiced band canaries whose ren
ditions of popular songs vehe
mently assault the cars ot me
listeners. It is auite evident tnai
these excessively vivacious fe
males are selected for their
shapes and ability to wear low
cut gowns rather man ineir
voices. A sad situation. Give me
a singer with a low throaty
voice such as Helen Morgan
had. Or similar to that possessed
bv Libbv Holman, Lucicnne
Boyer or Suzy Solidor. And I
will care not what kind of a
shape she has. After all. what
difference does that make on a
recording?
Baldhaads
There is a higher percentage
of bald-headed men in Italy than
.in any other country in the
world. So it is not surprising
that the world's largest associa
tion of bald-headed men is in
Italy. Of this organization Pres
ident Eisenhower is an honorary
member. The Italian group an
nually names a member "bald
head of the year." A man with a
well polished pate usually wins.
Incidentally, there is an asso
ciation of bald-headed men in
Baltimore which meets every
month.
Pleas Not
The political party figured to
be m certain winner in the next
United States presidential elec
tion could lose if even a small
portion of its members fail to
ovote. In the Argentine voting is
compulsory. Those ' failing to
vote are fined. There should be
a similar law in this country.
Sidelights
Are you a Chinese food fan?
Do you know the difference be
tween the Cantonese. Peking.
Shanghai and Chungking cui
sines? There is a restaurant in
New York that offers a choice
of the four. . . . Has any ring
man yet been nicknamed "Rock
and Roll"? That could be a very
effective monicker. As for ex
ample "Rock and Roll" Reilly.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
was the first radio broadcasting
station in the world? A. KDKA
in Pittsburgh, Pa., which began
broadcasting on March 2, 1920
starting off with the Harding
Cox presidential election re
turns. Q. Was George Gershwin,
the composer, ever in vaude-
ville? A. George was for a pe
riod in vaudeville as an accom
panist for Nora Bayes. Q. I
claim Ward McAllister, the New
York society figure who coined
the term "the four hundred."
was from San Francisco. Right?
A. Wrong, sir. He was from
Savannah, Ga. However, he had
a brother who was a successful
San Francisco lawyer.
Passing By
Ruth English. Distinguished
designer. Specializes in wedding
gowns, for which white is still
the preferred color. Mary Queen
of Scots was the first bride to
wear a white wedding gown.
Before that the brides wore red.
I recently received a photograph
in color of a Baltimore wedding
in which the bride wore
white and the bridesmaids wore
red. The effect was spectacular.
Asides
Am informed that the River
Downs race track, Cincinnati,
Ohio, offers a S3 across the
bosrd mutuel ticket. . . . Am
asked who first said, "There is
a sucker born every minute."
Couldn't say. It has been erro
neously credited to P. T. Bar
num. As for the crack, "Never
give a sucker an even break."
that was originated by W. C.
Fields.
Lova
- What is love? It was Marie
Corelli, an expert on the subject
who said, "If I loved a man I
should love him so completely
that I should never think of
anything in which he had not
the first and greatest share. I
should .see his kind looks in
every ray of sunshine. I should

Is That So?
Camp chores can be made in
to an odious task, to be shirked
if possible; or into a fascinating
game which players vie cheer
fully for the chance of excelling
in their share of each day's
work.
If the former, it is usually
because the person who does the
heavy-duty at home automatical
ly assumes the camp detail; if the
latter, it is because the camp
has been planned well in ad
vance, and it is run democratical
ly with disciplined organization.
Do I feel sorry for the over
worked camper usually a
mother with grown children?
Not I. Rightly managed, even
professional shirkers will as
sume their obligations, and like
them.
What's more, a smooth-running
camp with everyone pitch
ing in to do his expected share
of the work is invariably a hap
py camp.
What's the formula? Long be
fore the trip is made, organize
the detail. List what's to be
done: cooking, of course, morn
ing and evening with mid-day
snacks. Dishes to wash. Wood
to gather for cooking. Kindling.
Tent to set up. Water to carry.
Beds to make up. Garbage to be
disposed. Table to be made; a
cooler, too and a camp-craft
expert will find a dozen things
to do with his sharp axe.
Now make up a daily chart
for the first week, with every
person having a chance at cook
ing. But for the first run, assign
the simpler duties to the less
experienced. If there are four
in the camp, the work might
well be split up between two
groups thus the two more ex
perienced members could take
the fledgings under their wing.
Then, to make the work-load
come out evenly, and to give
the experienced the chance to
learn, rotate the plan either
daily, every-other day or week
ly. Total Time 10 Minutes
Once the camp has shaken
down where it runs smoothly,
make it a game to see how ef
ficient it can be: how quickly
camp can be broken up in the
morning. If no baking is done
the total time for building the
fire, cooking, cleaning up, and
packing up a lunch should not
exceed 60 minutes. That's op
erating! Usually the camp will rotate
around the Chief Cook and in
camp a cook should do nothing
else. That's enough for one per
son to manage and good cook
ing means the cook must be re-
T IU0INI tURKS
Rr-Naturalist
sponsible for the changing menu,
unpacking the food cooking, and
serving the meal. Cooking, he'll
find shortly, requires constant
watching: skillets and pots must
be moved if they get too hot;
food must be stirred regularly;
some foods must be cooked slow
ly others rapidly; all must be
seasoned, and properly timed.
It is up to th assistant chief
in the west called the "bull"
cook to gather the wood, build
the fire, get the water, set the
table, cut the bread and do any
other chores the cook may need.
His job is to see that the cook
gives his undivided attention to
turning out a first-class meal. At
the next meal, the two may
swap jobs.
Oh, I know, at first the ex
perienced camper may think:
"It would be a lot easier to
do this myself get out of my
way, while I make the hot
cakes." Sure, and it might well
taste better and the camp be
left in less disorder. But why
rob the beginner of the pleasure
of learning how to do his part
of the work well? So take a
firm grip on yourself and exer
cise patience you 11 need it.
Follow Through
Even the best-laid plans for
your camping trip may go
wrong? Why? Quite likely be
cause you don't follow through
to see that each person does his
part of the job and you pitch
in and do it yourself. That's
where the daily work sheet
comes in handy. And make it a
point for each person to check
off his day's duty. (With exper
ienced campers, all this is not
necessary except, all too often,
I have seen one man imposed
upon, where he is doing all the
cooking and campwork while
the rest are out hunting.)
Finally, don't be tardy in pas
sing out compliments where it
is warranted. A tenderfoot likes
to .know that his work is pas
sing muster. But no false praise,
please. That can be deadly:
slipshod endeavor should not be
made your camp standard.
Remember our purpose is to
make a good, efficient camp con
sisting of self-reliant outdoors'
men who cherish the privilege
of doing their part cheerfully.

Hollywood U.R) Holly
wood boasts certain establish
ments where it's chic to be seen,
and in this
p r o v i n e ial
c o m m u nity
that even in
cludes a hos
pital. Ccdin of
Lebanon Hos
pital probably
is the most
colorful, star-
jjina Mesby studded medi
cal institution in the world. In
Hollywood, one just isn't lick
unless he's sick at Cedars.
In fact, recently most of the
news on the Hollywood beat has
been coming from the famed
hospital. Mrs. Clark Gable was
rushed there with a heart attack.
Montgomery Clift recuperated
there from automobile accident
injuries, Joanne Dru from a ;
black eye and Marion Davies
from a stroke.
Cedars, celebrating its silver
anniversary this year, is a top
465-bed hospital on the edge of
downtown Los Angeles that is a
famed center for'-medical re
search but also became fashion
able for the movie crowd.
Casta System PreTails
Even within the hospital the
Hollywood caste system holds
forth. A patient is a "nobody"
unless he gets room on the fifth
floor, akin to being honored
with the first booth at Roman
off's restaurant or seats on the
middle aisle at premieres. Pri
vate rooms cost from S 28 to 55
a day.
The private rooms on the
fourth floor are just as nice but
every star wants the fifth floor
don't ask me why," says one
nurse. "There's one doctor who
won't visit his patients unless
they're on the fifth. He sends
his assistant to the fourth floor."
The late showman Sid Grau
man spent the last six months of
his life in the hospital, but not
as an invalid. Grauman just
liked it there. He would eat at
fine restaurants every night and
then return to his bed.
A millionaire manufacturer
with no family lived for two
years at Cedars although he
wasn't bed-ridden, either. His
chaff eur took him for drives ev
ery day.
Cedars even has public rela
tions expert to handle numerous
telephone calls and letters about
patients from the press and fans.
The biggest public reaction to
any patient came when Clift was
hospitalized. Calls from friends,
fans and reporters poured in
from all over the world.
More excitement was caused
the day Marilyn Monroe tried to
sneak out of Cedars to avoid
photographers waiting at every
entrance.
Many patients order their din
ners from Chasen's and other
restaurants. Most also order the
motion picture trade papers to
read in bed. But the height of
luxury occurred during the ill
ness of the late Mexican star,
Jorge Negrete.
"When his wealthy family
came up from Mexico they or
dered a $50-a-day room just to
sit in," a nurse says.
An estimated 186,000,000 con
versations take place every day
over the nation's 51,000,000
telephones.

Forest Fire Items
Working around a forest fire
is not exactly safe, but the dan
ger is not as great as the stories
make out. It is only once in a
great while that anybody is
trapped or overtaken by fire.
The old yarn about the green
horn who got his shirt-tail on fire
and ran nine blazing miles, set
ting a fresh fire every hundred
yards, is unverified.
A forest fire is commonly dull,
grim tedious business. Here are
snapshots of familiar items.
As a rule, humidity goes up
and forest fire menace dies down
at night. On a normal morning,
when the crew gets on the fire
line soon as they can see day
light in the smoke the fire may
seem dead. Then long stretches
can be cold-trailed, shoveled
through ash and char. On others
the smoldering fuel can be shov
eled onto ash heaps. The wind is
likely to be quiet. Fire lines can
be dug fast. A dewy dawn might
be called the true time to fight
forest fires.
Then the rising dawn wind,
sun-up, heat in the air, the night
damp streaming out of the fuel,
and again flames crackle. From
10 to 4 o clock the fire moves :
as a rule. Its head will be hot,-'
smoky, mean to work against. By 1
the book, the wind drops at 6 or 1
7, the air cools and dampens, the
fine fuel doesn't spark so eas-I
ily.
Canyon Drafts I
Sundown and nightfall are a '
good time for trail making, if
the country is not too rough and
there are no spots for mantrap 1
fireholes. If the crew has min-'
ers' lamps, they can walk right
up to the head df a fire and beat
it down.
In most canyons the air blows
down-grade at night and in the
dawn turns tail in an up-grade
draft. That's a time for backfir
ing and, when the smoke thins,
to dig a trail around the head
of the fire.
But maybe an east wind
keeps up for days. This may ev
en dry out an ocean beach, right
to the high-tide line. In the Cas
cades the night down-draft in
the west side canyons will car
ry hot, dry air from the east
side. Then, at 4 in the morning,
when the woods should be
damp, they'll yet be so dry that
sparks will fire the boughs of
standing timber, leap upward,
and carry from tree crown to
tree crown. Facing a crown fire
in big timber, man is helpless.
Sidehill Fires
On still days and on level
ground, flames, smoke and heat
go straight up, and the spread,
which depends on the baking
out of surrounding fuel to a
point at which it kindles easily
from sparks, is a lazy crawl of
snaky flames.
A strong wind turns the
flames on their sides, forces the
heat close to the ground, and so
bakes the fuel ahead to a quick-
