He now feels any benefits from this association were mutual: “Boys are the most sincere persons in the world,” he explains. “When they're bored they don’t pretend to be otherwise. They start shuffling their feet. If you can hold their attention you're pretty good. They gave me an education in public relations.” . . . In addition’ to presiding over Juvenile traffic conferences and promoting safety contests, Maggie also launched the first school patrol

Worm Factory
THE GATHERING of live bait for fishing is moving out of the list of lazy occupations. Those little stands which sell worms, grubs and minnows along the highways are sprucing up. They are about to join the ranks of big business. “Factories” for the production of natural live bait are springing up in many states to rival the makers of artificial flies and fishing plugs. In Michfgan, the state which leads the nation in the sale of fishing licenses, the fish-bait business already employs thousands. California is making a bid for the market for mealworms and beetles. discovered within the last two years that these make topnotch bait. G. M. Mattern of Culver City expects to raise more than 10,000,000 mealworms this summer. The Li-Cut Bait Co. calls its product “oilworms.” For what reason no one seems to know. But they sell. The California beetle and worm business is estimated in the $100,000 bracket.
Business Grows Rapidly EARTHWORM culture has grown rapidly in Ohio, where J. W. Munsell of Columbus is among the pioneers. William Hunt, near Buckeye lake, has developed a large “worm farm,” as has Bernice Warner at Worthington, O. Uncle Sam took notice of earthworm culture in a l4-page bulletin, No. 1569, called “Earthworms
Aviation
“WHAT'S the matter? Why are these airplanes running into buildings? There ought to be a law against flying planes over cities.” If I've heard this once, I've heard it a dozen times since the last plane crashed into a New York city building. Every time I've tried 40 answer the questioner, he continues talking. Certainly he never has exhibited the faintest suspicion that he, individually, is responsible for these crashes. In the first place, whatever is done by a municipality is supposed to be done with the gonsent of the voting individual. If there is an airport ‘program proposed, Mr. E, Very Day, citizen, reads it in the paper on his way to the funnies or his pet section. “Oh, we're going to have an airport.” That is the sum total of his interest in civic affairs. Then if he is criticized far his lack of interest as to the airport location or what is done with his tax money, he dodges the issue with the statement that he doesn’t understand avation because it is so technical Airports Are Public Business EVERYONE knows that an airport is an essential public facility of a modern city. It costs a lot of money to build, maintain and operate, and the ground it occupies is just so much more acreage removed from the tax books. This means that every taxpayer must make ‘up the difference by paying more taxes. So, is the airport of only “incidental” interest to Mr. and Mrs, E. Very Day? If it Costs twice as much as it should and is located in the wrong place, that appears to be also of “incidental” interest. It never occurs to anyone paying for the airport to insist that the city hire a competent expert to advise the city fathers on aviation matters—an item on which the latter are almost universally ignorant. You voting ‘citizens are responsible for airplanes running into buildings, It was either your vote or
My Day
NEW YORK, Friday.—The other night, we had the good fortune to see the Old Vic company’s presentation of “Henry 1V, Part 1.” I am one of those benighted people who do not always enjoy Shakespeare, But this performance was outstanding and no one could help enjoying every minute of it. We went back to the country late Wednesday aftternoon. I began to understand how one becomes a slave to one’s dog, for Fala was so pleased to see us and begged so insistently to go for a walk in the woods that, before we sat down to dinner, I took him for a mile-and-a-Half walk that he and I usually take in the morning! Suddenly, on one of the upper roads, I saw two children on two white horses. They made the prets tiest ploture against the dark green of the evergreen trees im the failing light,

BORN IN Mooresville, Maggie attended Indiang university for three years, where he played football and wrestled—{requently with his studies. . . . He enrolled as a pre-med student (his dad was a physician), but now concedes trigonometry floored him. . . . Discouraged, he came to Indianapolis and for a while managed Kroger stores at 22d and Talbot and Ft. Wayne and Alabama. . .. At this time he plunged into Republican ward and precinct politics and subsequently joined the police force as a member of the first police merit class in Indianapolis. , .‘, His fortunes varied under different administrations but, political factors aside, he soon earned a reputation as one of the most dashing blades in the department. ‘ Handsome, erect and photogenic, Maggie, in his day, was perhaps the most photographed cop in town. Never known to shy from the camera, he posed with new-fangled traffic semaphores, with “traffic-trained” dogs, with “traffic conscious” chorus girls and visiting celebrities. Last year, he became the police department’s first “public relations” officer.

MAGGIE’S OFFICE, in these formative days of his “interim” term (he fills out the late Otto Petit's unexpired term) is slightly busier than traction terminal station at 5:15 p. m. . . .

Three States Co-operate
THE PRODUCTION of bait minnows is still in its infancy. Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin are co-operating this summer with the U. 8. fish and wildlife service in experiments to produce live bait for the benefit of commercial dealers. Michigan converted several of its bluegill rearing ponds into bait ponds and assigned its fisheries biologist, Dr. Fenton Carbine, to this work. In Wisconsin, 17 different types of ponds were built to operate this summer. Sixteen U. 8. fish and wildlife esrvice ponds at Lake Mills, Wis., will be used fof experimental propagation of six common species of bait minnows. In Alabama, about 3,000,000 bait ‘minnows are raised each year, according to E. E. Prather of Auburn, assistant fish culturist for the Alabama Polytechnic institute. About two or three times that many are shipped into Alabama each year, yet the supply of bait minnows is greatly inadequate. Crickets, which are popular bait for bluegill, sunfish or bream in mid-summer, may be raised arti ficially, according to Mr. Prather. A garbage can is big enough to start. In three months, this “bait factory” will start producing. Information on the care and hatching of crickets is given in leaflet 22, which may be had from the Alabama agricultural experiment station, Auburn, Ala.

the decision of the city executive you voted for which placed the local airport where it is.
Long Glide Necessary
IN “INSTRUMENT flying weather” airplanes need much room to make the long flat glide approach to the unseen runways. You let someone place the airport too close to the city’s big buildings. Army planes chalked up the two New York air-plane-big building crashes. You don’t know it yet, but there will be more such crashes, and there will be some which won’t be army planes. LaGuardia airport in New York City is a classic example of the type of political deal which results in selecting the location of a city airport. There are many more of them.
LaGuardia airport once was a city dump. Later it| was promoted into a jerk landing area of cinder runways. Later still, it was promoted as a choice buy for an airport site. And a bungling (that's going lightly) city administration bought it at a choice price.
It's in the middle of a built-up section with all kinds of obstructions sticking up in the air on all sides. Also, it's too close to Manhattan’s tall skyscrapers over which airplanes in fog and rain must climb on the take-off or pass over on the long flat glide in landing.
The only law which will prevent additional crashes of airplanes against buildings at New York or any of the other dozens of similarly situated airports throughout the country is. to abolish the airport and build another where it should have been located in, the first place. The municipal or county airport belorigs to the taxpayer. Taxpayer money built it. The taxpayers’ votes approved the selection of its location. And when crashes prove that the airport is in the wrong place, the taxpayer cannot absolve himsélf from responsibility.

Many Packages Already There YOU MAY BUY packages costing $15, which are known as ten-in-one packages. Three million of these are already in Europe, because they were originally sent over to be used by our troops in combat. They are particularly valuable because the fuel problem in Europe is great and these packages contain precooked food. In addition to foodstuffs which. provide approximately 60 adequate meals, they include items such as sugar, candy bars, cocoa and coffee powders, preserved butter and ham, as well as soap and cigarets. The food is varied so as to provide five different menus. You send in the aldreds and name of the person to whom you wish the package delivered and, when the recipient gets it, you will receive a signed receipt.

a Senators Rap Murray Stand . On Case Bill By FRED W, PERKINS a A WASHINGTON, June 8.—Antid rumors, none of which could be confirmed, that President Truman had ordered preparation of 8 message to congress vetoing the Case bill, the senators most actiye in passing that legislation replied today to criticisms of it by Philip Murray, : C. I. O. president, - 3 They charged that Mr. Murray, . by failing to propose remedies “for the demonstrated evils with which congress has tried to deal,” had shown “disregard for the public interest.” They said this attitude | “is the most convincing reason why the Case bill should receive presi< dential approval.” Senators Ball (R. Minn), Byrd (D. Va), Ellender (D. La.), Hatch (D. N. M) Smith (R. N. J) and Taft (R. Ohio), declared that Mr. Murray's position “is tenable only if we agree with certain basic premises upon which be proceeds.” ” » THEY REFUSE to agree with these premises which were listed ” follows: ONE: “That the right to strike is an absolute right, the exercise of which may under no conditions be curtailed or restrained, even when it threatens to deprive the public of transportation; fuel, light, water and other essentials of life. TWO: “That labor organizations should be immune from laws: ap~ plying to all others which prohibit robbery and extortion to interstate commerce. THREE: “That labor organizations should be immune from the anti-trust laws, which apply to all others, although the purpose and effect may be the same when done by labor organizations as when done by any others. FOUR: "That although all othe ers who engage in business are responsible for the acts of their agents acting within the scope of their authority, labor unions should not be held responsible. FIVE: “That although a labor organization is treated as an entity for purposes of exemption from taxation and for purposes of exercising privileges under the Wagner act, it should not be treated as an entity for purpose of suit for viola. tion of its contracts, SIX: “That although federal equity courts may give relief by injunction against various wrongs when committed by others, there

CHICAGO, June 8 (U. P.).—The death toll in the LaSalle hotel fire rose to 60 today as investigators still sought the cause of the disaster.

We asked for a demonstration of every car on the market before we could make up our minds, and then we had a hard time deciding whether to get a tan or a blue paint job.
