o On THe Side (Distributed by King By E. V. Durling Features Syndicate. Inc.) A prevalent weakness among women is to forget to yut dates on letters. So I note it claimed. I haven't noticed that. However, communications is a postscript. It was Richard Steele who said. "A women seldom writes her mind but in her postscript." Asking Queries from clients. Q. What was the first college football team to number its players for program identification? A. Washington and Jefferson. Near ly fifty years ago. To be exact, in the season 1908. Q. I claim the fastest regularly scheduled tran of the British Railways is the "Flying Scot" between Lon-. don and Edinburgh. Right? A. You lose. It is the "Caledonian" between London and Glasgow. The Caledonian makes the 401 mile trip between those cities in six hours and 40 minutes. Q. After a date a man sent me flowers the next morning. It was a bunch of daisies. What does that mean in the language of flowers? A According to the best authorities on the subject1 it means "I won't tell." Asides . If Mrs. Ruth Holloway of San Family . Council Francisco who recently became a grandmother at the age of 29 isn't this ckintry's youngest grandma, who is? . . . The most popular dress model in Paris is now an Irish-American girl named Barbara Mullen. Paris models get the equivalent of S20 an hour and during the busy season often work 14 hours a day. Nurses The acute shortage of regis tered nurses continues to be a major hospital problem in this country. In New York City reg istered nurses are paidj from S320 a month to S400 a month. Considering the training a reg istered nurse has to have that doesn't seem enough. Should be at least $150 a week. Until it approaches that figure the dif ficulty in Interesting Intelligent and capable young women in a nursing career will probably continue. Mothers and Sons A mother who is taller than her dult son is a rarity. Even most jockeys are taller than their mothers. Also, an amazing number of petite mothers have sons who approach gigantic pro portions. I have heard of a moth er who has four sons whose heights are seven feet, six feet, ten inches, six feet, nine inches, and six feet, five inches. She is five feet, four inches in height. Travel Note A New Yorker just back from Las Vegas, Nev., says the thing to do there is to see the "fabu lous" night club shows staged at the luxury hotels on the strip and do your gambling down town where thg house percent ages are lower and the jack pots bigger. rTumerologr Having or Inserting a "y" In your first name increase your chance of success. So a numer ologist claims. I have heard the same thing about the letter "h." Anyway, it is the policy of this department to check all claims. I note that four of six top candi dates for a current title contest have "y" in their first names. They are: Cathy, Madelyn, Mar ilyn and Carolyn. As for other successful females so named, I haven't checked extensively. Still there is Jayne Mansfield. Perhaps if you have a daughter named Irene she should change it to Iryne. Horses and Women A recent survey has revealed that the measurements of the average British young voman in the 18 to 29 age group are Bust, 35; Waist, 25; Hips, 374 (35-25-37V4). Marilyn Jionroe's measurements are Bust, ' 38 V, Waist, 23; Hips, 38, (38V4-23-38). Incidentally, the British survey as' to the average female meas urement in different age groups was made so women could find better fitting and a wider var iety in style of ready to wearr clothing available at establish ments specializing in that type of attire. Speed A feminine cinema celebrity is reported to have just acquired a sports car that has a speed of 135 miles an hour. Cars with speed, power like that should be barred from the highways. In fact, I believe all cars traveling on public highways should have speed regulators. Perhaps to limit them to 60. miles an hour. Maybe 70. But no more. Auto ists who want to drive at over that should do their driving on automobile race tracks.

Loons M. He only finds fault with me! Harold M. I was a bachelor until I was 45. Then I made my big mistake. I got married. I was beginning to get tired of either running around or be ing alone, so I joined on! of those lonely hearts clubs and started writing to a woman In another city. She said she was a widow of 43. She sent me her picture and she looked very at tractive. I went down to see her and we liked each other right away. We got married and mov ed up to where I was living. Well, I pretty soon discovered that she wasn't 43, but nearly 50. She said she had no chil dren, but she's got a son in jail. She takes money out of the . household expenses and sends It to him. She's a very sloppy housekeeper. She says if I don't like it we should just split up, but I don't feel like being alone again. Leona M. I may be nearly 50, but I'm younger than Harold in spirit and appearance. I don't like to go brooding all the time the way he does. I like to go out for good times and enjoy life. He doesn't seem to know how to enjoy himself. I never told him that I didn't have children. I just didn't mention abou my son because it breaks my heart to talk about him. He isn't really a criminal, but got into trouble because of a bad crowd he got in with. The money I send him is really my own, left to me, by my first husband. From the minute we were married. Hat-old has done noth ing but find fault with me. But If I threaten to go away, he apologizes and becomes sweet as honey. I know he can be nice if he wants to, but he just seems to want to always criti cize. I would try to make him happy if I just had a chance. The Council: Harold ant Leona really went out of their way to make trouble for the- j selves when they entered a re lationship through correspond ence. Single persons of any age ! friends, church and civic organ- izations, neighborhood social groups that there is really no necessity to make blind stabs at friendship through corre spondence. In spite of themselves, how ever, Harold and Leona prob ably have not made a serious mistake in their marriage. They . both seem to see some advant age in being together. They really want the companionship of marriage. Harold sould realize that he has not been gravely decieved ' although he might have been. Even a woman he met through close friends could have told that little white lie about her age. As for the son in jail, Har old should recognize that when he agreed to marry Leona, he in effect agreed to share her burd ens and problems. He owes his wife smypathy and comfort, not recriminations on this score. If they had met under better circumstances, Hircld and Le ona would have known one an other more thoroughly before marriage and they would be better prepared to accept one anotther's faults. Perhaps be cause of his long bacherlorhood Harold does not realize that he can't expect perfection in any one. He has found a wife, not an angel in a dream, and he should be glad of it. - (COPYRIGHT 1957, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) Poison Oak?
