On The Side
By E. V. DURUNG
(Distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
No doubt you are familiar 1
with the Kipling classic titled
"They're Hanging Danny Dee
ver in the Morning." In the yes
teryear it was, along with the
poems titled "Gunga Din" and
"Boots," a great favorite among
competitors in elocution con
tests. However, the poem "Dan
ny Deever" had no great influ
ence on life in general. On the
other hand a poem titled
"They've Hung Bill Jones" by
the Atlanta, Ga., poetic genius,
Frank L. Stanton, saved a man's
life. On the night before a hang
ing Gov. Oswald West of Oregon
read this poem and wag so af
fected by it he commuted the '
sentence of the condemned man.
Frank Stanton was an extreme
ly versatile poet. Those great
'songs "Jest A-Wearyin' for You"
and "Mighty Lak a Rose" are
both from poems of his set to
music. "They've Hung Bill
Jones" is a four verse poem in
cluded in Stanton's "Songs of j
the Soil." The third verse, which
especially affected the governor
of Oregon, is as follows:
They've hung Bill Jones
Fer a crime of his.
An his wife an his
. .Mother is a-dyin';
An' his children's took
Where the orphants is
An the col wind
A'creepin and a sighin.
Among the Married
How would you like to be
compelled to walk behind your
wife in public appearances? Also
to have to take orders from her.
Not much, I guess. Rumors have
it that Prince Philip of, England
doesn't care for it either. Makes
him feel frustrated. Could Philip
become King of England and
have equal rights with the
Queen? He could if parliament
passed a law to that effect.
There is a precedent for it. Prin
cess Mary Second of England
refused to become Queen unless
her husband. Prince of Orange,
shared the throne with her and
as king had equal rights. The
Rritish parliament gave in to
her and passed a law in accord
. ance with her wishes. So be
gan the reign of William and
Mary.
Race Horse Researchers
Thoroughbred racing with
p'ari-mutuel wagering has long
been popular in Japan. Tokyo
has several race tracks. The
principal Japanese turf paper is
called "Sincere Advice on Cur
rent Race Horse Performance."
There are many professional tip
ster in Tokyo. They are called
"Race Horse Researchers."
They are unionized. Their or
ganization is called "The Hon
orable, Democratic and Peace
Loving Union of Ail Japanese
Race Horse Researchers."
Get It Right
Where did the night club floor
show originate? It was originat
ed by Gus Edwards at Reisen
webers on Columbus Circle in
New York City. The Dansant,
featuring paid dance partners,
was also originated at Reisen
webers. Among those acting as
dance partners in those days at
Reisenwebers were Rudolf Val
entino, Ricardo Cortez and
George Raft.
Sidelights
British advocates of nudism
now call themselves "naturoso
phists." They have formed an
organization called "The Inter
national Order of Naturoso
phists" . . . Am asked if Gari
baldi, the Italian patriot, was
red-haired. He was. Incidentally,
during a period ef exile, Gari
baldi lived on Staten Island,
N.Y., and became a citizen of
the United States.
Color Psychology
The British Princess Margaret
continues to feature pink as the
shade of her evening attire. She
also features the same shade in
other articles of attire when
ever possible. According to the
color psychologists, pink is the
color with the most male attrac
tion power. So evidently the
Princess is not adverse to male
attention. She is also a chain
cigarette smoker which some
psychiatrists allege is a sign of
frustration. That is, not being
loved as much as one would
wish to be.
LOOK MOM, I'M LOST
New York UJ.PJ It was a
somewhat embarrassed Frank
DeFeo who sought police aid
after he and his three children
became separated from Mrs. De
Feo during the Easter parade.
De Feo is a Philadelphia policeman.
Washington !U.R President
SBisenhower has personally ap
pealed to high school students
to complete their schooling and
thus made "their finest contri
bution" to the nation's future.
