Hoosier Vagabond

“ncrLEWOOD, Cal, Nov. 8—Last winter, when we were in ‘Peru, I read ‘that the chinchilla was almost extinct the Andes but that there were two chinchilla ‘farms in the U. S. : So I put down a note, remind myself to visit one of them if we should ever be near it. So here we are now in Inglewood, where the article said one of the chinchilla farms was. And I have visited it. But— it turned out there are not’ just two chinchilla farms in America. There are 32. The chinchilla is a nice little aninfal which looks like a rabbit. Almost exactly. It has a sweet face, and whiskers stick out on each side of its mouth at least three inches. It sits humped up, it. hops, and its fur is a Kind of gray blue. Chinchilla fur is often said to be the most valuable fur in existence. The chinchilla people themselves, however, say genuine platinum fox is probably more valuable. But certainly the chinchilla is second. Right now there is only one chinchilla coat in America for sale, and its price is $17,000. It’s in a stor out on Wilshire Blvd. When next week’s pay chec comes in I'm going to buy it. This coat was made from skins from the local chinchilla farm, just as a sort of experiment. For despite all these 32 chinchilla farms, they have not yet started producing fur for the market. It will be another five years, they say. = 2 #

Extinction Threatened

The Inglewood chinchilla farm was started in 1923, with a few animals brought from South America. They were brought just in time, too, for the wild chinchilla now is just one small jump ahead of being completely out of existence. Chinchillas are. native to the west coast of South America. They weren't originally high-altitude animals. But as the trappers encroached they fled higher and higher into the Andes.

i Our Tow ‘UUT 1 0wn - X ; JOE E. BROWN, you’ll remember, honored Indianapolis with a personal appearance recently. - Well, one day while enjoying Indiana’s Indian Summer, he heard the newsboy plying his trade at the southwest corner of Pennsylvania and Market Sts. Impressed, Joe E. went up to him, held out his hand, and said: “Boy, you got a future.” It furns out that the kid has a - past, too. Morton Patterson, the 23-year-old newsboy with the loudest yelling voice in Indianapolis, was born on E. Washington St., just this side of Irvington. When he was 12 years old, he ran away from home. He headed for New York with $4 in his pocket. He got as far as Philadelphia when the police swooped down and hauled him off to headquarters. Asked what his name was, he threw everybody off the track by saying “Morton Pachmann.” Seems he adopted his mother’s family name the minute he left Indianapolis. As luck would have it, a reporter of The Record happened to -be loafing around Headquarters when Morton was brought in. He fixed it up with the police, with the result that Morton was brought into the presence of Freddy Shapiro, the city editor of The Record at the time. Right away Freddy took a shine to the kid. He gave him odd jobs around the office and told him he eould spend his nights sleeping on the floor of the City Room. Which is exactly

what the kid did. ” 8

A Heart-to-H Tt Talk One day while in an expansive mood, Mr. Shapiro

hada heart-to-heart talk with Morton and asked him

what: he thought of continuing his education. Cautiously, Morton asked whether it meant going to school. Shapiro said that was the general idea. Morton went through the Philadelphia High School in three and a half years with a graduating mark of 89—good enough to land him a Temple University scholarship. That's the way he spent the next two years and with the $16 a week he got from The Record for-eccasional

NOW THAT SOME MEASURE of business recovery and re-employment is appearing, most communities must have the same problem of shaking out relief that is being tackled here in this typical Middle-Western city. When the depression struck a decade ago, Indianapolis, like every other city, was obliged to leap frantically into. relief. The problem was vast and unfamiliar, but urgent. Methods inevitably were loose, with political handling and a spattering of graft in the oldfashioned American way that permeates so much municipal government. But improvement in employment, particularly among skilled workmen, eases the pressure " somewhat. It tends to end Lhe : emergency phase and to pre-soirt-tie long-haul residue tnat is likely to be with us no matter how much recovery we have. In Indianapolis, and no doubt elsewhere, it is recognized that the time has come for a shakeout to clean up

this business of relief. 8 FEE

Trustee System Archaic

Direct relief here is under the archaic townshiptrustee system, and the trustee of Center Township handles the bulk of Indianapolis ity relief—in a way that has attracted the attention of the Grand Jury. Some of those close to the Trustee went suddenly into the grocery business after he took office to handle $1,500,000 a year in direct relief—rent, groceries, milk and such necessaries. Families were being credited with receiving relief milk which didn’t show up. The “skip stop” system was ‘used—whereby a| relief family missed its milk perhaps ohe day a week but dared not complain lest it be \cut off. Some grocery stores

All the exercise one obtains on these trips is getting on and off the’ trains and in and out of automobiles. The rest of the time is spent either in a hotel, or viewing a project, or on the train. In almost every place I have visited on this trip, I have been asked to say something about the Communfty Chest drive. It seems to me that the value of the organizations supported by the Community Chest, should by this time, with the help of active groups of women, have become well known in every

community. There is a great advantage in having a co-ordinated drive for funds, because one can be sure that each organization has been carefully investigated

An Industry Is Born

Mr. Chapman arrived with them in 1923. He had started with 11, and he arrived with 11. on the way, and one was born. There were eight males and three females. The climate of Inglewood is nothing at all like the climate of the chinchillas’ native Andes. Here it is sea level—hot in summer, damply chill in winter. They were brought here simply because Mr. Chapman lived here. And, as a matter of fact, the climate hasn’t seemed to be very important.

The chinchilla industry, as it has grown up today,

no motive for riches; he was more like a scientist trying to solve something. Mr. Chapman died in 1934. He had gone through ‘terrific financial hardships. He constantly had to fight off shysters and get-rich-quick schemers. In his last years he had an obsession that people were trying to steal his chinchillas from him. Today his son, R. E. Chapman, owns. the chinchilla ranch. They are out of the financial doldrums now. Far out. Young Chapman is the dominant man in the chinchilla industry.

contributions it looked as though he had the world by the tail. It was just about this time that Morton started writing a column for The Record. ‘It was called “Perhaps It’s News.” To get this material he sometimes had to stoop to look through keyholes. The column carried the by-line of “Cecil Pennyfeather,” a name he found in The Strand, a British magazine he was reading at the time, The column went all right until he ran out of news and keyholes. After all, Philadelphia is a pretty slow place, says Morton. That's when he discovered that to stay in business he had to manufacture news himself. To make news, Morton got a sheet of letter paper and headed it “The Philadelphia Glue and Mucilage Co.” and with that as a start he addressed a letter to Gene Butterworth, secretary to Jim Farley. The message was really intended for Mr. Farley, but Meorton says H® knew enough about the running of this Government to know that any letter addressed to Mr. Farley would never reach him—not even if. it was marked “Personal.” :

f J 2 2 He Hears From Mr. Farley In the body of the letter Morton went on to say that his glue company had perfected a. mucilage flavored with strawberry. It came in five other flavors, too. Morton suggested that it might just be possible to increase the income of his department if Mr. Farley knew about the flavored mucilage and applied it to the back of- his stamps. Morton says ..e couldn’t have chosen a better time because that was the year people were picking on Mr. . Farley because his stamp rales weren't holding up. Inside of a week Morton had a letter straight from Mr. Farley asking for samples. The trick had worked. That day The Record sold every copy it printed, all on account of the way Morton handled the Farley story in his Pennyfeather column. It even caught ‘the eye of Walter Winchell working up in New York. He cribbed it cold and two days later used it in his column. Up to that time Walter had little use for any news originating in Philadelphia. Tune in tomorrow for more about the newsboy at the corner of Pennsylvania and Market Sts. You ain't heard nothing yet.

seemed to get a surprising bulk of the relief grocery business. = Democratic grocerymen somehow ' found business better than Republican grocery men. Political management of relief is being investigated also by the League of Women Voters. Trade unions are speaking out against political interference in relief. -From- Washington, a representative of a Congressiqnal ‘Investigating Committee has appeared to comb charges that WPA labor has been used for private work—the Louisiana system—that materials have been diverted and expense accounts stretched. The State Unemployment-Relief Commission has investigated 27,000 WPA applications and finds 3800 to date not in need of relief. WPA rolls have been cut about in half but this has thrown an increased load on direct té6wnship relief. But among larger cities, none has a lower per-capita debt and the load is easily manageable. As a footnote, the Indianapolis ball club is fighting an attempt by, its ballplayers to collect unemployment compensation during the winter months.

” 2 ” FHA Applications. Up . Here, as ‘everywhere, the need for decent housing for these hard-luck families is acute. Families evicted when their rent relief is cut off are moved into conSennga dwellings. The City Health Officer is protesting these conditions, and says it would be cheaper for the city, would reduce the cost of disease and public hospital care, if the city would go into a low-cost housing program. This problem exists everywhere—how to give relief families minimum standards necessary for health. For families able to stand ‘on their own feet, the Federal housing program is doing wonders. Indiana FHA applications are going up, and thus far this year amount to $5,600,000 more than last year, with a total FHA small-home construction of $50,000,000 in sight this year. That is one of the most encouraging signs.

and three to five that you're going to catch three or more colds: What to do about them is mostly your concern, but Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health officer, who compiles these figures on the basis of U. S. Public Health Surveys, has a suggestion. His advice is to see your physician after the first series of sneezes

or as soon as sore throat; weakness or dizziness become evident. Prompt attention prevents the common cold from becoming something worse, according to Dr. Morgan. Records show that 301 persons who caught cold or what seemed to be a cold, died of pneumonia between Nov. 1, 1938, and March 31, 1939. During all of- 1938, 405 died. This month, three have died.. The. season when colds are most prevalent will continue for five or

The present spread of colds is really a mixed infection with the influenzal type predominating, he said. Prompt care is essential he said. -
