Charles Lake, who has devoted his life to writing a biography of pink elephants, was kept awake until l a. m. the other morning by the blaring radio of a neighbor. But he fixed him. At four a. m. the neighbor's telephone rang long and loud. It was Charles calling to tell him how much he had en- joyed the music. Iack Staples always did love to eat. He's quite wealthy now, so the day he entered the Diamond Muleshoe and- was instantly handed a lengthy menu by an attentive waiter, studying it carefully for several minutes, lack exclaimed in his best Mis- souri drawl, W-a-a-l-l, I don't guess I see anything to object to. Glen Porter is now quite famous for statistical research. After considerable work, he enlightened us the other day with this little gem, Twenty-five per cent of men who get married propose while driving ia car. This only goes to show that more accidents happen on the road than anywhere else . Ierry Fox, a rich Hollywood playboy, who directs the dance band at the Pink Derby . certainly had a surprise the other day. It seems he ordered a loud sport shirt: after unwrapping it, he found a note in his pocket which read, Please write and send a photo to the following address. Naturally enough, Ierry promptly wrote a letter, imagining that she might be beautiful and perhaps wealthy. Within a few days his answer came. l was just curious to see what kind of looking fellow would buy such a funny shirt . She was the salesgirl. Don Still was recently featured in the Unusual Occupation column of the American Magazine . All day long he sits in front of a blackboard in a factory and draws faces that will stop the clocks, so that they can be shipped. Lucille Hepworth is a high pressure salesgirl in a fur shop. One day last week the proprietor, Hattie Carnegie, was amazed to find that a large group of furs which she had planned to discard had all been sold. Certainly, madarn , Lucille said, I just 4 .26 put an ad in the paper stating that we had some furs too high priced for the average housewife, and they were all gone by noon . Calvin McCauslin, the famous Dripping Weather- man , recently received a phone call from his old classmate, Mitchell McGown, who now owns a home for lost Pekingese pups. Mitchell inquired about the weather condition and received this surprising re- ply from the one and only Calvin, It's raining 'cats and dogs'. I know because I just stepped in a 'poodle'. Io Ann Stanley has taken the place of Marie Wilson in the movie. Everyone agrees that she is a very sweet girl. but not too, oh--for instance, the other day she was riding by a gas station with a friend and remarked, Isn't it wonderful how these filling station people know just where to set up pumps to get gas . Helen Lewis, who was recently married, exclaimed that she approved of married life, also she gave all girls, wishing to become brides, a little tip: What every young bride should know-cooking. Bob Axcell has been awarded the Sell-well award this year: however his glory must have left him a little careless, for one day a customer raged into Bob's store and retorted, That lot you sold me is fifteen feet under water . Yes, I know , replied Bob, I also sell boats! Bonnie Staats stalled Charles' car in front of Wals- worth's one night in the heavy 5 o'clock traffic. The man in the car behind her started blowing his horn loudly. With great poise, Bonpie got out and walked back to the impatient man. I'll toot your horn, Bonnie said, While you start my car. Ronnie Wiggins, who recently ran in the Missouri Derby, exclaimed to his foreman the other day, I don't like the way that horse I bought from you al- ways keeps his head down . The foreman repied, He's showing his shame because of the low price you paid for him.

Sharon Boudreaux recently became secretary of the new car corporation, Ashley's-Nashley's. This gigantic revolution in the automobile industry is summarized in their slogan- Buy Ashley's-Nash- ley's-no clutch, no brakes, no lights, and no starter. Special alteration-It will coast down hills all by itself: it only has to be pushed up . Kay Smith, the famous druggist, ran an ad in the paper last week which read: Free fountain service at the corner of 12th and Main . Quite a crowd arrived before they discovered that the foun- tain was in the city park, and the kind man was merely offering to give birds baths. After graduation from high school, Lelia Quinn entered a Home Economics School. One day she concocted a mixture, anxiously watched her teacher eat it, turn very pale, and collapse on the floor. A doctor was called, and the poor man was pronounced dead. Lelia burst into tears. Oh dear , she wailed, I've failed my examination . Geneva Wright has an interesting job going from circus to circus hiring midgets to serve as reporters for Quick Magazine.

It seems the splitting headaches were positively killing her. 1 Richard Eitel has become famous as a tailor to the wealthy set. His trademark of Rich's Britches is a great name in the world of pants. They are guaranteed to wrinkle, crease, rip, and tear: there- fore anyone who can afford them is recognized as being quite distinguished. Ruby Green has a new place of employment now. She is working in a restaurant testing drum sticks. Formerly she had a highly paid job in a mix-master factory, but she had to be released.

Reta Asher, the accomplished novelist, has just published her latest book, The Story of a Failure or The Rise and Fall of Had-a-call .

Bonnie Bell is now the owner of a world renouned hat shoppe. Her motto is Buy Bell's Blue Bonnets. Double your money back if your husband likes them . Bonnie Blew is now tops as a psychiatrist, but the other day she had to make an appointment with one of her colleagues. Doctor , she complained, I can't imagine whatfs wrong with me. Most of my patients see spots in front of their eyes, and once I was consulted by a man who even saw stripes : but, at that moment she broke into a wail, all I can see is green scotch plaid ! Vemon Bowman, the noted Californian surgeon, was called late one night last week to perform an emergency appedectomy. After the patient recovered he was asked to describe the experience, he re- plied, oh, it was nothing at all, just call it 'Opera- tion Pacific'. 25

Hazel Zurcher, the renowned money conversa- tionalist, recently remarked to the press, The average man lies thirty years longer than he did in the l800's. He must, in order to get his taxes paid. She also remarked that we've learned this much during inflation, Money still talks, but it doesn't say much . I see where Gerald Stanley announced the open- ing of Stcm1ey's Funeral Parlor.
