HEAD OF BANK
REVEALS HOW
HE WINS BETS

Kansas City, W.P)-When 1t
comes to making bets it's wise tc
let the other fellow pick the win
ming team, E. F. Swinney chair
man of the board of the First
National Bank, believes.
And to back up his contention
Swinney has a considerable num-
Der of checks which represents his
winnings from friends who were
sure they had a hunch on the
winning team.
Under the glass top of Swinneys
desk are large number OF these
checks - all uncashed. Swinney
would rather keep them to remind
the losers of their bad judgment
than cash them.
Il have always let the other fel-
low pick the side he wanted to bet
on" Swinney said. Il took the
other side and those checks are
the answer.
For the past IL years I have
had a friendly bet on the World
Series with a friend. I always let
him select the team and I have
never lost so far as I can remem-
ber. It's a good idea to let the
other fellow do the picking"

enough to allow their minds to

Walt Disney is an example.
Born in Chicago in 1901. his first

at the age Of sixteen. AS a little

to draw animals; but the famous
creator of Mickey Mouse had to

creative genius until after the

followed these with a series of
fairy tales for local clubs and
church gatherings.

him to try Hollywood. where he
started in an unpretentiouS little

There he created Oswald. the

SEEK LOCAL CUSTOM

Dear Mrs. Post: Should the Ia
dies pouring at a formal tea wear
hats? Common sense seems to be
the basis of your etiquette, and
in my humble Judgment hats at
this time do not sound sensible.
Answer: This question is best
decided by the arbitrary custom OF
each community. In New York,
for example. a deputy hostess al
ways wears a hat unless she is a
house visitor. and even in this
case she is likely as not wear one.
Neither dress or hat for a deputy
hostess should be too tailored.

SHALL. WEAR A HAT WITH
AETERNnnN nRESCo

Dear Mrs. Post: We seldom
wear formal clothes in our simple
community, which fact I contend
is no reason why the ladies here
may not &C to evening parties
wearing afternoon dresses and no
hats. Don't you agree with me?
There are several new residents
who have been turning up on such
occasions with hats on.
Answer: The general rule is if
you wear an afternoon dress
(meaning a dress not suitable for
general wear on the street, in the
evening, then you should go with
out a hat, but if you are wearing
a street dress, then you should
wear hat. But whether the hats
you describe are bad from or not
depends entirely upon their type.
In other words, if they are an in
door type of hat, they are quite
as suitable to wear with after
noon dresses as to go without. In
fact, they are decidedly a fashion
of the moment.
