TErT MtDFOBD (OMGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE On The Side 'eVsrrihured by Kin Features Syndicate, Inc.) Conscientiously contin u i n g my Paris research on women in the interests of our horses and women department, I visited a section of the Luxembourg Gar dens which is- eAclusively de voted to statues of celebrated fe males. It include memorials to St. Genevieve, patron saint of Paris, Mary Queen of Scots, Laura de Moves and many otn ers. You are. of course, familiar with the career of Mary Queen of Scots. However, a fact rarely mentioned by historians is that she was the first woman golfer. As for Laura ric Nove. she is the charmer to whom Petrarch dedicated all those sonnets. When Petrarch' penned thesa loving tributes to Laura, she was a married woman and the mother of 11 children. In her youth she was the winner of one of the first beauty contests recorded in history. Horse ' As for the horses, I completed by current research on that sub ject with a visit to the course at Enghtin. This is an extremely beautiful race track. Its program includes two steeplechase races, three hurdle races and two har mless races. The harness events are run on a special course. In the last event of the day. 26 harness horses started. Some scramble! The life of a Freijcb handicapper must be a very try, ine one. Imagine trying to nan dicap a program of steeplechase races, hurdles races and harness races. However, the Holland handicappers are faced with an even more difficult task. The day I attended the races at The Hague they had a hurdle Tace, a steeplechie race, three har ness races and a running race. Longchamp is the most beauti ful racecourse in France but my favorite is St. Cloud. That is also very beautiful, it is addi tionally attractive because yoa can see the horses at all times. They do not disappear into a forest. Also they run in. the same direction as in the United States. . . Exhibitions The most popular exhibition In Paris among foreign visitors Is the Louvre. However, the ex hibition attracting "the attend ance of the most Frenchmen in recent years was that of - a stuffed whale, called Jonas, in the Esplanade des Invalides tn 1953. This quaintexhibition was viewed by hundreds of thous ands of Parisians.- Night Clubs 0 The lowest paid performers in the Paris night clubs are the nudes. Asked why this situation prevails, one French night club maestro said, "It requires no particular talent to remove one's clothes." This same man said the dumbest girls in the Paris en tertainment field were those specializing in appearing un attired. He added. "The mote beautiful they are, the dumber they are." L Jockey The Cabaret on Montparnasse knnwn as "Le Jockey" is still going strong. It was at the Jockey that Kiki. the celebrated model, frequently entertained as a singer. Tommy. Lyman, the American crooner, also once sang at the Jockey. Sidelights There are 50 women taxi dri vers in Paris. Some of them are quite glamorous ... If you know where? to buy in Paris, you can save yourself quite a litHe money. On the Avenue des Ternes, where the shoppers are mostly Parisians, you can get some things at half th price be ing charged on the Champs Elysees ...

For example, if you permit the bar ber to influence you to take some hair - tonic it will quad ruple yqur bill. Also the ex pected tip. The tonsorialists ex pect 15 per cent of the bill as a tip. A haircut wih tonic plus tip can cost you as much as S3.

November It, 1951 Progress Report Made on Crime, Vice Investigation Salem iU.P.) Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton Satur day issued a progress report on the Multnomah county vice and crime investigations which had been requested by Gov. Elmo Smith. The governor had asked Thornton for the number of in dictments returned and their "legal sufficiency" and the ap proximate priority under which each accused would be brought to trial. Thornton said a total of 31 indictments were originally re turned with one joint indictment against four defendants returned later to make a new total of 34. Thornton said it would be "im proper" for him to comment on the legal sufficiency of the in dictments since various prelimi nary motions, demurrers and other technical legal objections to them were now being con sidered by the courts. However, Thornton said the indictments had so far held up against attack in 10 out of 11 cases on which the court has ruled. Tbe attorney general said the first of the trials (State vs. Rog ers) had been postponed, but that he expected the case of State vs. Nance to come up Nov. 29 and State vs. Maynard to be tried Dec. 10. The remainder of the trials must wait until preliminary mo tions were disposed of, Thornton said. He added that they would be brought to trial as rapidly as possible. While Thornton said he agreed "wholeheartedly" with the gov ernor's view that the trials should be expedited, he noted that the defendants had every right to raise "any and all' legal objections to assure themselves the full protection of the consti tution and laws.
