On The Side

O iwt delight!
O more than human bliss.
To live Kith one who ever loving Is.
How blessed is he.
With urh a darlin ever nigh,
So loved, so blessed in
My beloved am L

What we call a truck the
British call a "lorry." What we
refer to as "gasoline" they call
' petrol." What we call an eleva
tor" they call a "lift." What we
call a "parlay" they call an
"accumulator." The British us
age I do not question. After all
English is their language. How-;
ever, what I cannot understand
is why the British retain the
"stone" as a unit of weight.
They say, "He weighs 11 stone
and six pounds." Why can't they
just say, "He weighs 160
pounds"?
Among the Married
Seventeen per cent of mar
riages in the United States end
in the divorce court. Most of
the divorces take place after
five years of marriage or less.
Twenty per cent of the couples
remaining married do so for
reasons other than mutual love.
Forty per cent reach a state of
mind of liking or respecting
their mates but not loving them.
Only 23 per cent of married
couples continue to be in love
with each other. So, a checking
on life among the married is
alleged to reveal. How are you
doing?
Passing By
Ed Wwnn. Veteran comedian.
Still going very strong. Among
he innumerable interesting in
cidents in Ed's career is that he
was on the opening bill of The
Palace Theater, New York,
March 25, 1913. Arguments
often arise as to the make-up
of the Palace opening bill. In
case you become involved in
such a discussion that bill was
as follows:
. 1. Eight Palace Girls
2. Hy Mayer (Cartoonist)
3. Ed Wynn
4. The Eternal Waltz (Mus
ical Comedy-Sketch)
5. Taylor Holmes.
6. Milton Pollock & Co. (in
a sketch by George Ade)
7. Four Vannis (Wire act)
8. Otto Gygi (violinist)
9. La Napierkowska ( Dar
ing Danseusc)
Please Note
"Relative to the discussion as
to the reaction of women to
kissing a man with a mustache,"
writes a young woman of Man
hattan. "I think you will find
- most women agree with what
Sarah Bernhardt had to say
about this, namely: Un baiser
8a ns moustasche est comme un
oeuf sans sel." : ' '
Courage
That brilliant and courageous
fellow Clarence Day suffered so
greatly from artritis that it was
necessary for him to spend the
better part of his life as a "shut
in" constantly in pain. Still,
while suffering so intensely,
Clarence established a success
ful glove business and wrote
that remarkable best seller titled
"Life With Father."
Says She
"Red hair is hereditary,"
writes a Boston brunette. "The
way red-haired women act about
their hair coloring you would
think it was a personal achieve
ment. Their conceit is boring.
They certainly consider them
selves unusual characters. Tak
en as a type, there is nothing un
usual about them. There is as
much mediocrity among red
heads as other women . One
thing they have in common is a
nasty temper. They are also in
clined to be fickle. Their di
vorce percentage is above the
average. How many red-haired
feminine celebrities can you
think of who haven t been mar
ried twice or more? Jeanette
MacDonald is the only one I
can think of. Why all this non
sense aDout -iow To Handle a
Red Haired Wife'? They- are no
more difficult to handle than
any other woman although their
husbands might find their un
bearable conceit and demands
tor extra attention very trying.
Which is probably the chief
reason redheads are always hav
ing to change husbands."
Graves in Historic
Cemetery Disturbed
Cave Junction A mystery
that will probably remain un
solved was brought to light here
this week with discovery of two
desecrated graves at. the long
unused Waldo cemetery. .
A headstone on the grave of
Ole Valen (1832-1908) had been
separated from its base and toss
ed aside. The grave itself was
excavated to a depth of several
feet witn evidences that more
earth had been removed and la
ter replaced.
From a nearby unmarked ba
by's grave, some five feet of dirt
had been removed. In neither
instance was there any indica
tion that vandals had disturbed
the caskets, officials said.
Damage was discovered by
members of the Laurel Ceme
tery association who make per
iodic checks on ' the historic
grounds. ?'
New National Parks, Sites Offer
Interesting Travel for Tourists
Washington Foot-loose vaca
tionists, studying the map with
an eye to the Nation's storied re
creation spots, face a varied and
ever-growing list of places from
which to choose.
In the last three years, nine
new national parks, monuments,
and historic sites have been
established, bringing the total to
nearly 200 under Federal or co
operative management.
Additions range from a one
time fur-trading post in the Pac
ific Northwest to a lush, tropical
area in the Virgin Islands.
The latest, designated in April,
covers a seven-acre tract at Pro
montory, Utah. It is called the
Golden Spike National Historic
Site, and commemorates the
famous spike-driving ceremony
in 1869 that marked completion
of the Nation's first transcon
tinental rails.
Canadian-U.S. Past
Fort Vancouver National Mon
ument, which came into being
July 9, 1954, lies within the city
limits of Vancouver, Wash. Its
exhibits include excavations of
the old stockade wall and inner
buildings, a model of the fort,
and a museum of relics.
The fort once main head
quarters of the Hudson's Bay
Company west of the Rockie:
wrote pioneer history in both
Canada and the United States
The original post was founded
in 1824, about a mile east of the
present site to which it was later
moved. Its name honors George
Vancouver, English n a v igator
and early explorer of the region.
For 22 years, Fort Vancouver
was run by Chief Factor John
McLoughlin, a dynamic man re
spected by the I n d i a ns as
"White-headed Eagle."
McLoughlin not only was
highly successful in his com
pany job; his cooperation with
American settlers, b a c ked by
supplies of food, seed, and im
plements, helped arouse United
States interest in the Northwest.
Eventually, he becamean Am
erican citizen in line with his
fort, which fell to the United
States by 1846 boundary terms.
Wilderness and Laboratory .
In 1955, two very different
areas, one covering parts of
three States, the other a home
and laboratory, were set apart
for the public.
The big track is Cumberland
Gap National Historical Park,
where the old Wilderness Road
led the American pioneers into
the rich hunting and farming
lands of Kentucky and beyond.
Gap and Road played impor
tant roles in Indian fighting, in
the Revolution, and Civil War.
Today's visitors find in this seen-;
ic park two miles of Wilderness
Road, Civil War fortifications,
old mill-and-foundry ruins, and
a mountain-top view of Virginia,
Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Tourists meet another kind of
pioneering in invention and in
dustrial research at T h o m as
Edison's home and laboratory in
West Orange, N. J.
The inventor's . home, "Glen
mont," was designed a National
Historic Site under non-Federal
ownership in December, 1955.
At the same time, his work
shops and land were donated to
the nation.
Now on display at the Edison
Laboratory National "Monument
are devices under test at his
death in 1931, and such out
standing inventions as his phon
ograph, stock ticker, and early
incandescent lamps.
Old Sights, New Management
Four other scattered show
places also came officially under
the Nation's wing last year: In
dependence National Historical
Park in Philadelphia; Chimney
Rock' in Nebraska; Fort Union,
New Mexico; and St. John, of
the Virgin Islands.
Philadelphia's historic spots,
including Independence Hall and
other buildings linked with the
Revolution and early Republic,
long have been open to an ap
preciative visiting public.
The formal establishment of
this city-heart area as a national
park means that the Government
has acquired the necessary prop
perty, taken over the administra
tion, and will carry out a long
range program of restorations
to return the atmosphere of the

Arid and Garden Spots
The sun-baked, brick-and-ad-
obe ruins of Fort Union, N. M.,
and the Caribbean garden spot of
St. John Island form still anoth
er oddly assorted pair among
new. national reservations.
Fort Union's interest lies In
the winning of the American
Southwest. Guard ing the old
Santa Fe Trail, it belonged to the
era of Indians -on-the-w a r p ath,
stagecoach robbers, and gun-toting
traders.
With some 2,000 inhabitants in
its heyday, the fort was a center
of supply, of news, and social
life. As a Union bulwark during
the Civil War, it blocked Con
federate efforts to reach Colo
rado's silver mines.
St. John,' 2,700 miles away,
has historic memories unique
among park areas. They go back
to pre-Columbian I n d ians; to
Danish sugar planters whose
slaves revolted in 1733.
Today, this young Virgin Is
lands National Park covers
about three-quarters of the 12,-
000-acre island. Its moldy fort
resses and ruined plantations are
covered with green, flowering
mantles. Fish and bird life of
fers a naturalist's paradise. And
the lowest recorded temperature
is 65 degrees Fahrenheit: the
highest, 91 degrees.

Can you find ilie "guarantee"
in flliis pidure?
You buy a refrigerator only two or three times
in your lifetime.
Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without
getting so much as a look at the intricate "works"
that makes it run.
How do you dare make such aa important
purchase without having an expert check it over
for you? What makes you so sure you're getting
your money's worth when you say, ''I'll take
that one"?
The answer's obvious. You look for the brand
name on the refrigerator your "guarantee.
You've learned to follow this first rule of safe
and sound buying:
A good brand Is your best guarantee
No matter what kind of product you want to
buy, you know a good brand won't let you down,
You know the maker stands back of it guar
antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand
you know you're right.
' Read this newspaper to find out which are
the good brands (and the stores that sell them.)
The more good brands you know, the surer you
are about all your shopping.
