heard het phone ring and answered it. When the caller asked for a person whose name she did not

recognize, our agent asked what number the caller had dialed. The caller mentioned the exchange and

said she had dialed “2294.” Our agéiit then said she

was sorry but her number, although on the same ex-

change, was “2274. There was a silence and the caller said in a haughty voice: “Well, then, why did you, answer the phone?” With that she hung up, leaving our friend too amazed td reply. . .. We feel doubly sorry for our bewildered agent because she recently got her dates mixed. She went to see “Jazz

Slight Mixup in Asbestos

MAJ. MARK’ BRAATZ, commander of the army recruiting station here, borrowed a special firefighting asbestos suit from the air force for the use of the Hospital detachment at the Speedway. When it was first announced that the suit would be used, the Speedway said Leonard Cox, veteran city hospital ambulance driver, would wear it. When Mr. Cox, who's been an important figure at the 500-mile classic for years, heard of it he kidded that he'd wear-the suit only if they put a strait-jacket on him first. It seems the suit is for an attendant, rather than the driver of the ambulance and Mr. Cox didn't even know they planned to put him in it. Dr. E. Rogers Smith, head of the hospital unit, agreed there'd been a slight mix-up. Someone, but not Mr. Cox, will wear the suit, he said. He also added that in his own opinion a tent and awning maker would have to remodel the suit before the husky Mr. Cox could even get in it. , . , A card telling patrons that the management belongs to the Better Business bureau and will tolerate no dealings with solicitors not O. K.d by the bureau is prominently displayed in a branch laundry unit at 10th and Pennsylvania sts.

DUESSELDORF, Germany, May 21.—The British have what appears to be a justified gripe with respect to their occupation task in Germany.

Theirs, say Britons in the field, is the most difficult job alloted to any of the four occupying powers. They have a population of 700 persons per square mile to feed, plus a few million virtually helpless women. and children refugees coming in from the Sudetenland and western. Poland. Only 8 per cent of these arrivals are men and they are elderly, for obviously, the workingmen are being retained by the Russians for slave labor. Furtherniore, the British are rather. irritated by criticism of the dropping coal production and the slowness in manufacturing and reconstruction. Liberated France, Belgium and Holland don't care

them. But they demand coal and more coal and they want the Germans to dig it. They're getting most of what is being mined now. What they don't seem to understand is that the Germans cannot dig more unless they eat. A véry, very high-ranking military officer commented to me that america should send food quickly.

Down to 1050 Calorie Ration “DOCTORS ftell me,” he said, “that man eating a 1500-calorie ration and getting nothing elsewhere will die in six years.” We're down to 1060. Some say there's no starvation here after they've driven the streets. : “I said the same in Holland, but when I went behind scenes I found 45,000 cases of extreme illness due directly to desperate hunger. These people couldn't walk the streets. And we've the same thing here now.” With the Germans constantly begging for more

Aviation

NEW YORK, May 21.—It was indicated today that the world’s largest airliner—about 375,000 pounds gross weight and carrying 320 to 400 passengers—may be test flown in Texas in mid-July. A city block and a half long, the mammoth monoplane has three decks, with elevators for passengers. Its tricycle landing gear weighs nine tons, And, as a sleeper or lounge plane, it can‘carry 262 passengers. Its lower deck is for luggage and cargo and the plane will carry two full crews of four each, with one crew resting in special crew sleeping quarters while the other operates the airliner. Its wing. spread is 319 feet. ' Its range is at least 6000 miles and it could easily fly from New York to -Berlin non-stop, with plenty of fuel left in its huge tanks in case of emergency and for safety’'s sake. Six 3000-and-up horsepower pusher engines will power the sky titan each have counter-rotating propellers, It is understood at General Electric, gas turbine engines are being tested as possibilities to power the big plane.

Planned as Troop Transport IT IS ALSO possible, it is said, that powerful reciprocating engines with jet assist type exhaust may be used. At any rate, a total of at least 18,000 horse-

power will propel the giant. Planned first by army air forces as an air transport capable of carrying large numbers of troops and a large quantity of munitions and other supplies, the

NEW YORK (Monday). —I spent most of Satur day at the Rosénwald fund meeting. But I left soon enough to spend a half hour at the annual luncheon meeting of the adult student council of the board of education of the city of New York. They had

gave to my husband for the services he rendered to the cause of adult education. ~I know he would have been pleased to see what a large group of students attended this meeting.

Ordinarily he'd have talked with them but right at that time he was entertaining one visitor and he thought the three very young guests might create a problem. So, when they knocked he didn't go to the door. Neitner, however, did the three youngsters stop knocking.

Compared With Today's Airliner AN IDEA OF its size can be obtained through a comparison with the passenger capacity of the DC-3 airliner of today. -It will carry more than 19 times that payload. And, even though 60 passengers are crowded into one of the new DC-4 four-engined airliners, the new plane will carry nearly seven times that.

So were potatoes and small supplies of flour, the latter being one of the scarcest commodities in Belgium.

At that price it might as well have been. I saw some magnificent hothouse strawberries packed in cotton wool, one dozen to a box.

TULAREMIA IS acquired by the bite of a blood-sucking horsefly or that of an infected wood tick, by contact with an abrasion of the skin, or by eating insufficiently cooked rabbit meat. Sudden onset, pains, and fever are characteristic, and, if the disease follows a bite, the neighboring lymph glands are enlarged and swollen. Relapsing fever may be either louse or tick-borne. Infection is characterized by two or three attacks of fever, with intervals between the attacks of two to 12 days. The disease is caused by a spirocete which is spread through infected
