Durling ' (Distributed by King Feature Syndicate, Inc.) In d i a c u ssing remarkable catches, I said I had seen an out fielder open a gate in left field at Yankee stadium, step into the stand a little, reach out asd make a one hand catch of what appeared a certain home run. Fellow I was talking to said such a catch wouldn't be an out, that as soon as the ball crossed the rail of a stand it was either automatically a foul or a home run. I still claimed that the bat ter in this case was called out. What is your view of this argu ment? Please Not Added weight shortens a tho roughbred's stride. In sprints it is of minor importance. Even up to a mile a good horse is not ser iously handicapped by weight up to 130 pounds. Over 130 in rac es over a mile is a real handicap. That's why owners of stake stars so often refuse to run their hors es when assigned over 130 pounds. In his last three races. Swaps should have been assign ed at least 134 pounds. However, if he had been, he would have been kept in the barn. When an infraction of the rules was once charged, the New York race tracks posted a sign reading "foul claimed." August Belmont thought that was a vulgar way of expressing it. So he changed the sign at Belmont park to read, "objection." Other tracks soon followed suit. Asking Queries from clients. Q. What is the United States record for the most marriages by the young est woman? A. Can't answer de finitely. However, 35-year-old Juanita Deere of Tulsa, Okla, has been married 18 times so far. She has just filed for a divorce from her 18th husband so it can be assumed she will take a 19th spouse soon. Q. I claim French men who are six-footers are rare. What is the average height of the modern Frenchman? A. Average height of males in France is five feet, six and one-half inches. That's not so bad in France as' the average female there is only five feet, two inches in height. Sidelights Do you consider yourself sharp as to pronunciation? If so, how do you pronounce port said? . . . Am asked who wrote the .lively and inspiring ditty titled, "It's a great day for the Irish." It was none other than Victor Herb ert ... At what age could you recide the alphabet? How about your son? Or daughter? Arthur Greenwood of Brooklyn could recite the alphabet when one-year-old. Great Great Grandma There's a Dallas, Tex., and a Dallas, Ore. Here is something for Dallas, Tex., to try to top. Mrs. R. I. Newton of Dallas. Or., became a great, great grandmother at the age of 65. She became a mother at 16, a grandmother at 32, a great great grandmother at 49. Quartettes What is the best quartet you ever heard harmonize? My nom ination is the Vaudeville outfit billed as "That Quartette," mem bers of which were Sylvester, Jones, Pringle and Morrell. The most picturesque Vaudeville quartette was "The Primrose Four," billed as "One Thousand pounds of Harmony." Each mem ber of this group weighed 250 pounds or over. Incidentally, quartette singing is enjoying a sensational revival. The quart ette known as "The Hilltoppers" made a recording of the song "Trying" which has already sold a million and a half copies. Chowder. Where in this fair land of ours can the best clam chowder be found? I am not prepared to say definitely. However. I wish again most emphatically to say that tomatoes have no place in clam chowder. Many experienced clam chowder enthusiasts claim New England claim chowder is tops. In this delightful concoc tion the following are usi?d: clams, potatoes, onions, milk and pork. But no tomatoes.!

I would like my hus band to retire, so that we could get away from the problems of living in a large city and. the difficulties of the seasons. With all our children married, I think we could enjoy a comfort able retirement, what with social security and a substantial amount of money we could get by selling our home. My husband will not hear of retirement. He argues that we would wind up in the poor house because inflation would wipe out the value of our social security and our savings. , I think my husband is foolish to keep on as he is because I am afraid it may shorten his years. I know that, feeling as I do, I cannot do all the house work 1 have been doing. I can not take my husband's fears of inflation too seriously, since he has always been a worrier. I feel sure that, with four child ren doing well, we are in no danger of going to the poor house, even if things should get very bad for us, which is un likely in view of our savings. B. L. My wife doesn't real ize what she is asking. If I give up my job and move south to an old man's community, I may as well die right now. My job gives me not only a salary, but people "with whom to enjoy some social life', and it gives me a place in the community. My job is no strain on my health. Because of my many years -in this business and the people I know, I can earn my salary without having to kill myself, but I do not know what I would do with myself in a strange community, where I would either find , no work or have to do menial work. There were times when I had heavy burdens and feared' I would lose my job if I spoke up on any question or disagreed with anyone, but .now I feel more independent and am really enjoying my job and, I think, proving more useful to my boss and receiving more appreciation. . ' The Council: B. L. knows where his best interests lie, but he has failed to consider his wife's pro blem. She clearly finds her present way of living arduous and must have a change. To pack up and go south in total retirement would probablv disannoint anrl disillusion her. as well as make him uphappy. But some relief from her present situation must be"afforded. B. L. would be wise to tackle this problem on a num ber of fronts: 1. A trial trip to a southern vacation city for as much as a month might convince his wife that permanent living there in total retirement on a skimpy budget would be an unhappy fate. 2. He might consider a smaller apartment, perhaps a residential hotel, perhaps some domestic help or more eating out. 3. As a substitute for retire ment, he might offer longer or more frequent vacations, even if that entails a cut in his salary. The kind of retirement Mrs. B. L. seems to yearn for is certainly no panacea, and probably a dangerous course for this couple. NEWSMAN DIES v San Francisco (U.R) Wil liam Clinton Wren, 65, for 20 years managing editor of the San Francisco Examiner, died here Saturday after suffering a heart attack. The fact she yearns for it indi cates that her present life is too rigorous, and that she should have more relief from the hard ships of .weather. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.)
