Mr.. Tixif: To settle a bet win
you please tell me II Myrna 10y
was ever married To William
Powell. the actor? Also Who
were his other wives
IL h.
Their marriages were only in
pictures. She is Mrs. Arthur
Hornbl0w Jr. in real life Pow
ell has been married TO Eileen
Wilson and Carole Lombard.
MIR. Fixlt: Why doesn't the
park board put up the tennis
nets during this fine weather
80 that our children might enjoy
the tennis courts: In the past
Point Defiance kept on hand
discarded nets TO put out and
leave up during unsettled spring
weather 70 the public could en-
joy the good DAYS. but so far
this spring there has been no
sign of nets. scores of picnick-
ers brought lunches to Point
Defiance Sunday but were forced
TO carry water from the boat
house TO a. far n the main
beach picnic grounds. Last, but
not least. the five-miie drive
was In terrible shape for sun
day traffic. CONRAD NJ. l..
The park board didn't put any
nets at Point Defiance early this
spring because there weren't any
available. They were damaged
too badly last year and all had
to be repaired. Ordinarily, April
! To Is is early enough to put
up any kind of net outdoors. II
good ones are hung, the bad
weather viii ruin them. Anyway.
as many nets as were available
were put up all over the city
last Saturday.
II also is a little early for
picnickers to complain. Their
season wasn't expected TO start
until after Easter Good Sum
DAYS like last are not the rule
this time of year.
When you think of paving the
Smile drive, recall that 1t cost
around $4,000 TO surface the
first loop in the park. The pub
lie will have to wait while,
since the park Is not in q posi-
ton 10 spend a fraction of the
money that job would take.
Mr.. Fixlt; To settle an argu-
ment, do sailors wives receive
monthly allotments Also what
are the wages Of soldiers and
do their wives receive monthly
allotment in peace times:
A READER.
Most sailors when on sea duty
make allotmcnts TO their wives.
The government will send the
allotment of three-quarters of
the mans pay directly to her
from Washington. d. c. This is a
voluntary arrangement. though.
There is nothing compelling a
man In the navy to support his
wife any more than in civilian
life.
Neither soldiers. sailors nor
marines are permitted TO marry
until they have reached at least
third pay grade. where the base
is $27 per month.
Mr.. Fixit: ! wish TO know
the name and address Of the
president Of the Ivory Soap con-
Germ. A. X.
Richard Redwood Dupree is
president of the Proctor & Gam
BILE Co. maker Of that brand of
soap. Head office is in Cincin-
natl, Ohio.
Mr.. FiNit: I read Of n soldier
who paid entrance to n theatcr
on what he thought was 10
cent piece hut II was n scent
piece, 1865. have the same hut
marked 1867. Could you state
the value Of II: b. r.
Silver Scent pieces 1865 to
1867 are cataloguel as worth 2oc
to 75c.
MIR. Fixit: II n woman Is fool
ing around with another womans
husband and uses her ear tn 20
into another state and stay three
or four days before coming back.
ARE there any charges the wife
can make against her: Also
how many dogs do YOU have to
have before being compelled to
have n kennel license"
CURIOUS.
II appears TO us that some
blame might go to the husband
In such situation. The woman
with the attractive car might be
a candidate for an alienation OF
affections suit. hut lawyer
would have TO tell you about
that.
Getting a kennel license is an
economy for multiple dog own
ers rather than matter of COM
pulsion. II costs $3.50 TO get a
license for nine-dog kennel,
whether the animals are male or
female. so people with four dogs
or more can become kennel own
ers at a profit. Beyond nine
dogs the price goes up.
MIR. Ffxit: It's the same old
question TO settle nm argument.
What are the requirements Of n
man to join the Northwest
Mounted police. for size, age,
etc. &. =. W.
First. of course. would be that
