ORDINARILY A MAN doesn't feel right when his clothes bulge. As I waited at police headquarters for Detective Sgts. Edward Glenn and George Gebhardt to start on the downtown detail, I didn't feel. right without bulges. : on “ Our first stop of the morning was supposed to have been in court where the plainclothesmen were
holding up a wall and said he received word the case had been continued. ‘ “We're ready to go,” he said. 1 told him I felt naked as a jaybird without a blackjack and handcuffs in my back pocket and a gun on my hip. ! . The veteran of 25 years of detective work suggested I get a corncob for my hip pocket. “That's about all you'll need if we run into any trouble this morning. Chief Sanders told us to tell you to geram at the first sign of trouble,” Sgt. Glenn said. . “That's the decision from the division, eh?” “Right.” r
Revolting Development
80, I WAS A DETECTIVE without portfolio. What a revolting development. The center detail which we were on takes in a mile square of the downtown area. All patroling, in our detail, was done on foot, The men have a regular route they follow unless they're call®d off on some special case. Nothing special seemed to be going on so we pounded the pavement to Union station. After walking through the entire station upstairs and down the only person of interest we saw was Bgt. Gebhardt’s wife, She is a clerk in one of the offices. No shady characters, drunks, bank robbers or gun totin’' desperadoes.

Eat Those Words
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Clinton P. Anderson, our secretary of agriculture, can chop this dispatch into confetti and eat it on his 25-cents-a-pound rib roast. That'll teach him not to embarrass a taxpayer. . Clint is the gent who announced in Albuquerque, N. M., that we are fools for paying $1 a pound for steak, when we can buy rib roasts for a quarter. This made it my next move. I clutched a copy of his speech in my hot little hand, Grabbed a 14th at. trolley for the Arcade market. Debarked at this, one of the biggest collections of butchers and grocers in the East. Hurried past the fruit stand where single lemons were five cents each, and pears a dime. Paid little heed to the delicatessens where rat cheese was 95 cents a pound and eggs 92 cents a dozen: Ignored the 65-cent’ roasting chickens and the 97-cent putter. And made a bee-line to the meat stands. 1 told the fattest butcher in the place that I wanted an economical rib roast. He said did I want the 75cent roast, or the 80-center without so much bone?
‘He Insulted You’
I SAID I wanted the two-bit kind, Clint, he insulted me. I showed him your speech about intelligent people eating 25-cent rib roasts. And then, Mr. i; Secretary, he insulted you, He got red in the face and seid . . , .

Annie the Dip—Artiste
ALSO UNFORTUNATELY away for the summer, at government request! is Annie the Dip, a lgvely old white-haired lady who is also a complete artiste. Annie the Dip picks pockets. : Annie has a soft, sentimental soul, and for that reason she loves weddings. She says that she plies her trade at weddings because they are so beautiful and everyone, is so happy. If everyone is happy, says Annie, surely they will not mind the loss of a few francs on such a beautiful day. And so there have been several occasions when grooms had to wire hurriedly for money when they) started to pay the bill at the honeymoon hotel. Annie the Dip also loves funerals, because she loves to cry. But she will not pick pockets at funerals because she does not believe in increasing a sadness.
