Some even go so far as to.say that Marilyn is the Irina Skobt seva of Hollywood. The Russians, it seems, have finally got around to turping out not only sleek tractors but streamlined women and Miss Skobtseva is a prize example. She is about 5-feet 4-inches, with a slender but well curved figure (no statistics), a delicate oval face, upswept reddish- blonde hair, blue gray eyes, a quick smile and a soft voice. Typical Hollywood Starl So far as is known Irina has never posed for calendars, but she had a typical Hollywood rise On The Side By E v. Du iing (Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc.) Recently reported have been several cases of taxicab drivers and others finding large sums of cash. In New York and many other states money found be comes the property of the find er if not claimed by the prop erly identified loser, within a certain period. The question arises, how about the income tax on money found? Suppose a man found $50,000 in cash. Would it be tax free? Ask your lawyer. This situation could have some interesting angles. Horses and Women In the yesteryear in Ireland red-haired women with freckles were considered the outstanding beauties. So says a historian. Whether or not this type of fe male can be rated 9s tops in beauty is open to discussion. However, red-haired girls with freckles are still considered ex tremely interesting companions by men of experience.. Especial ly on moonlight strolls. They are said to be intensely affec tionate. As wives they are re ported very difficult to handle. In fact, it is said only a red haired man is capable of keep in.? a red-haired wife under rea sonable control.

She died in 1946. They had one son, Michael Todd Jr., now 23 years old. Passing By G. Barker Seeley. Peripatetic publicist. A picture of sartoial elegance, he is rated as the nearest approach to Beau Brum mel seen regularly on Madison ave. since Lucius Beebe moved to Nevada. Mr. Seeley's com mendable effort to be a .man of distinction dates back to the time he introduced the racoon overcoat to the campus at Princeton University. That Club A rumor, not yet confirmed, is that Gerard Regard of Bos ton, Mass., is being groomed to run for President of the My Name Is A Poem Club in a de termined effort by New Eng landers headed by Truly Dooley of Providence, R. I., to dislodge the present holder of the of fice. Hugh Blue of Arcadia, Calif. When queried about, this possibility Mr. Blue, without even looking up from his Racing Form, said, "No comment." Asking Queries from clients. Q. Are you still stubbornly claiming Voltaire did not write or speak the immortal quotation begin ning 'I disapprove of what you say"? I have before me four books of quotations that say he did. How about this? A. There is no record of Voltaire having made the observation you men tion. For the facts, check in the appendix of Stevenson's "Home Book of Quotations." . . . Q. Saw Harold "Red" Grange yes terday. Do you share my opinion that he was the greatest foot ball player in the history of the "Big Ten?" A. Grange was a great and spectacular player but my choice for the greatest of "Big Ten" football players is Walter Eckersall. Lazy People Lazy people often originate labor devices. Ole Evinrude, as you know, invented the out board motor boat because he was too lazy to row a boat. Now a young fellow who was too lazy to regularly mow the family lawn has invented a power mow er that can be operated by re mote control. Yes, sir, with this remarkable machine it is pos sible to sit on the porch and enjoy a high ball and mow the lawn at the same time.
