Man Advertising For
Bride With $20,000
Says It Was Mistake
KANSAS CITY. Kan.—(UP)—
An ad in a weekly paper for a
wife with $20,000 constituted the
biggest mistake of his life; Alex
Pierre Jackson. 22, decided here.
Alex Pierre sought the wife
with money so he could set him-
self up in the business of glam-
our photography.
But a gnawing conscience, he
said, took all the glamour out of
1 lis idea.
"After 1 placed the ad," the
Wadsworth, Kan., youth said, "I
went home, but I couldn't sleep.
I felt a sense of guilt coming over
me, that I had done wrong and
that it actuaiy was against my
sense of ethics.
"I don't know how • got up
enough nerve and courage to do
it, but in any event I'm con-
suited I should acknowledge now
that I was wrong.''
Alex Pierre said he realizes
now "you can't become rich and
successful in life taking a short
cut, or any easy road.' He said
he also realized that he "could
not become a leech or a parasite
and only by long hours of hard
work call 1 become somebody
someday."
Alex Pierre, in the ad, referred
lo himself as an excellent cook,
a dancer "divine," and linguist
who speakes th.ee tongues I In -
ently. He said h. had traveled
widely.
"As a matter of fact," he said,
"the travels in Europe really mis-
led me. 1 noticed that in many
countries, Switzerland for in-
stance. newspapers do publish
similar advertisements.
"But I should have known
better. After all, I'm not living
in a medieval era. I'm living in
ihe United States that admitted
and accepted me. I owe the peo-
ple the country and the world
to do things that the people
would be proud of and not
ashaamed of."
Alex Pierre said he was born
in Paris, came to this country
in 1012, was drafted two years
later and became a citizen.
"A lot of people make mis-
takes," Alex Pierre summarized. |
"I just made the biggest one of j
niv life."
High Cost Of Vacation Fun
Is Felt Keenly By Most Of
Folks During 'Past Season
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
little woman doesn't like to be
reminded, but most of 'em didn't
enjoy their vacations much.
Mama spends 50 weeks of the
year over a hot iron or a hotter
stove. The other two weeks she
wants to farm out the kids, for-
get about pots and pans, mops
and bed-making, and let some-
body else whip up the scrambled
eggs and broil the steaks.
It didn't always turn out that
way this year and the Ameri-
can Automobile Association has
the facts to prove it.
The AAA conducted a private
poll and concluded it was a mat-
ter of the high cost of living.
The 1948 vacationist played his
market cautiously.
A lot pf high class joints.were
only half full. But the "house-
keeping" places, where the lady
f>f the house does exactly what
she does the rest of the year, did
a land-office business.
"Some of these cook-your-own
dinner places," the AAA said to-
day, "did so well they're going
to stay open until the birds wing
for the south, the corn is in fod-
der and the snow flies."
Some of the swankier joints
closed even before Labor Day
with the waiters complaining
that people are going back to
the old 10-per-cent-of-the-hill
tip.
Business in tlit? Adirondapks
was under last year—but still
good. Southern New England
beaches were full and prosper-
ous. But north of Portland there
was a big slump. A boom travel
was" predicted for the midwest-
ern states, but something hap-
pened. A record number of peo-
ple showed up, but they were
lookers, not spenders. Even the
penny postcard concessions
howled.
The airlines were conscious
of a pinch, too. Some cut rates.
To stimulate business, one line
line offered a family rate. One
adult fare paid full rate and the
rest of the family, including 'ill
the younguns went for half.
Good the first of the week, only.
The steamship lines already
are pepping up their customers
with circulars about ' special
rates for winter travel. To the
West Indies, South America,
Amsterdam, Denmark and
Netherlands.
Florida expects another big
season, although there is no re-
port on whether it'll be a cook-
your-own meal season.
A smart press agent at Fie,
Italy, has jabbed a hypo into
business there. Hay bathing, j
Correctly called "hay therapy."

ELECT ANNUAL STAFF
ROSCOE (Spl.)—The 1948-4'J

continent for a session alone in
the hay—said to be a panacea
for almost everything. All you
do Is to dig a hole in the hay,
wrap a towel around your neck
and the treatment is on. But it
has to be Fie, Italy, hay -full of
arnica. Soon the heat comes up
and you start to perspire.
While you're sitting there, ac-
cording to reports, you some-
times "sip a little wine."
Sounds interesting.
Judge Indicted Upon
Income Tux Chorges
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 17.
(UP)—Circuit Judge Emory F.
Smith of Monett Mo., serving bis
20th year on the bench, today
was charged with income tax
evasion in a six-count federal in-
dictment.
Part of the money on which
he was alleged to have evaded
payment of taxes was obtained,
the indictment charged, through
salary "kickbacks" by his court
reporter.
Cyclone Davis' Name
Rejected For Ballot
ASTIN, Tex.—(UP)—Paul H.
Brown, secretary of state, has
riot i fief I Cyclone Davis, peren-
nial senatorial candidate from
Dallas, that his certification of
candidates for the Texas pension
party had been rejected.
Brown said certifications were
received from Davis certifying
himself as the pt nsion party's
senatorial candidate, and Julius
Barrett, for railroad commission-
er.
The secretary of state releas-
ed the lexi of a wire to Davis
in which he said certification
was rejected because "it doe.,
appear that the Texas Pension
Party was organized by any au-
thorized or proper procedure and
because of irregularities, con
flicts and ommi.-sions evident
from the certifiactes.'
Although 52 pel cent of its area
is forest, Pennsylvania imports
two-thirds of its lumbe.
