Bandits Too Tiresome

v

“The only trouble with filling station hold-ups,” says the phisophical gas merchant, "is that my arms get tired holding my hands up in the air.” With this thought in mind M. L. Chaney, of the English theater, invented an iron bar suspended from the roof of the filling station on which the attendant could rest his arms while the till was being rifled. The Loose Nut Editor will take up the idea with John D., if he stops playing golf long enough. The Indianapolis Times pays $2 for any Loose Nut idea submitted and illustrated by Lee Williams, Times cartoonist, and publisher. the livestock judging pavilion at the Lafayette and is expected to attract Purdue University farm in West several hundred stockmen.
