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.!

Mrs. B. L. I long for retire
ment. B. L. I can't give up my job.
. -
Mrs. B. L. 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.
