"I guess it was on account of me. Better call Detectives Sheehan and Lees. They'll know about it”' A police sergeant looked up in amazement “What do you want, Kid?” he asked, walking over to the boy, whose red hair was buried in his arms. Bellhop at Hotel “Mike Brozerich and I were bellhops at The Hotel Pennsylvania," the boy said. “We were in the basement and I was showing what T had found, a little black pistol. A shell dropped out. It went off on the concrete. The bullet hit Mike in the eye. He's dead now and I guess you want me." Louis grinned as he, noticed the sergeant looking at his tom shirt, worn-out shoes and rumpled, dusty hair. .. . „ “No hat. no coat and half a shirt, the boy said. “Don't mind that. T can wash up. But I’m starving; haven't had anything to eat for two days. „ , . ‘When T heard Mike had died in the hospital I hiked my way up from Marion, down in South Caro- j Una.” Police Feed Boy The pursuit, of criminals was halted for ten minutes while a police sergeant left Louis unguarded to I bring coffee, dovghnuts and sandwiches. | Luncheon over.

MOSCOW, May 15 - The , RuJ * sian's fondness for lotteries is being utilized, strange as it may sound, in a war on rate here. For every rat brough to the collecting stations, a number will be issued 5 As soon as 5,000 rats are brought in. a drawing will be ha and the lucky rat-catcher will receive a prize of 250 rubles. This, as you can figure out for yourself, gives every rat a value of 5 kopeks. The lottery, it is hoped, will encourage Moscow residents in a city-wide attack on the rodents. The health authorities are urging the population to be less indifferent about the subject. Too many peop.e, it. is pointed out. take their squeaking boarders as a matter of course.

DOCTORS PLAN MEDICAL COST TO FIT PURSE Pay-as-You*Can Basis for Treatment Outlined by Chicago Physicians. BY W. F. SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. May 15.—Apparently teeling that every man has a right to try to live if he wants to, the Chicago Medical Society suggests that the high cost of illness, or rather the expense of getting well, be trimmed to a point where even poor people won’t have to die without the aid of a doctor. The society has announced details ot its plans to put the cost of medical treatment on a pay-as-you-can. if-you-will basis. The cost of having a surgeon’s knife trim out the bad or wornout parts of the anatomy, would be cut to the size of the pocketbook, it was explained. Those who could not pay. would not be bothered by threatening letters from lawyers who insist on set- ; 'ement of professional bills whether

or not the patient has anything in the pocketbook. The medical society plans to establish clinical and diagnostic institutions in various neighborhoods, where doctors may bring their ailing ci®tomers, to determine what they ha-ve in the way of sickness and funds. After the body has been diagnosed, or possibly before, an X-ray Will be taken of the pocketbook, to determine how much the patient can stand in the surgery of finances. The ailing one then will be told what ails him and advised gently how much he wall be expected to pay. The idea will be more or less a. communistic one. All the sick, whether rich or poor, will be treated alike when they enter the clinics. If financially able to pay the full cost of treatment, the patient will be asked to do so; others will be charged according to their wealth or lack of it.

SENATOR FLAYS INJUNCTION USE Condemns Judges Who Mix in Labor Disputes. B’/ Seripps-Hnward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 15.—Injuno* tiontion judges are bringing the entire judicial system into contempt, and are substituting government by men for government by law, according to Senator Hendrick Shipstead of Minnesota. Shipstead, writing in the June number of Plain Talk, declared that equity judges, before whom trial by jury is not required, are encroaching further and further into the enforcement of criminal law, although they are not supposed to have this power. Their growing tendency to issue sweeping injunctions in labor disputes is “breeding deep resentment among our working population,” he added. Shipstead is the author of the original bill limiting the issuance of injunctions to the protection of tangible and transferable property, introduced in the senate last year with the backing of tire American Federation of Labor.

Paving for Progress Xo problem facing American cities during the past ten years has increased in the same proportion as traffic. The automobile has become a family institution, and constantly mounting vehicle registration is forcing 'he engineering departments of cities seek new traffic outlets. Present day side-streets may form part of cross-town thoroughfares ten_y£ars hence. Downtown streets now forty and fifty feet wide may be widened to cope with the ever increasing volume of traffic. Experience Indianapolis and cities throughout the nation is proving that Asphalt is better adapted to widening operations than any other type of pavement. The original surface can b fused with the new to form an unbroken surface extending from . curb to curb. Asphalt leaves no joints to ravel and crumble or serve as crevices where water may set in to freeze and eraek the pavement. The original pavement and the original investment it represents arcsaved and the widened street has the appearance and wearing qualities of anew pavement. Since traffic is on the increase and widening programs must face cities for years to come, it represents wisdom on the part of tax- r payers to choose Asphalt not only for its beauty and wearing qualities, but because Asphalt is the pavement best adapted to progress.

..... The School of Hard Knocks

A ids the Laboratories of Science to build better trucks

THE truck of quality cannot be built on a drawing board. Neither the laboratory nor the shop alone can produce it The task is accomplished only by sound experience, ripe engineering, and practical skilL At the two large plants where International Trucks are manufactured, every scientific test for quality and precision known to the industry is expertly applied. But these are not enough.... Experimental models of stock construction must be tried and punished to prove out designs and materials- A constant succession of trucks go to the testing fields to be sent at high speed headlong into embankments, plunging - across railroad

The new Heavy-Duty models, sizes from 2% to 5-ton, and the new line of Speed Trades, ranging from % to 2-ton, are now on view here and at 171 other Company-owned branches in the United States and Canada. , International Harvester Company OF AMERICA 425 Kentucky Ave. Lin. 6408-6409

INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS

tracks, over hurdles and barriers, through ditches and up trills. They suffer tortures in axle, engine, clutch, and gears, brakes, bearings, wheels, and frame. Their drivers have learned precisely bow to submit every chassis member to hammer-like blows and to racking stresses and strains. Hours here mean more than years of ordinary service, The findings of this endless program of test and trial go back into the engineering laboratories and the shop, and so new and sturdier Internationals are born. Come in and see these HeavyDuty Internationals and youll agree that the Sqhool of Hard Knocks is well worth while.
