Simple once you catch on. “Don’t worry about it.” “Keep working.” “Get the ball, John.” Just a few of the things Mr, Hinkle hurled across the floor. There are other remarks which have no business in this report. The man gets excited, that's all, When a foul is called on one of his boys, Mr. Hinkle takes care of the situation by tying his shoe laces. Of course, he first unties them.

A few feet from the hoop, if it looks good, Mr, Hinkle will order, “Get outta there.” , A Bulldog longshot registers entirely different on the Hinkle countenance.

Get Out—Go—Git

NEW YORK, Feb. 6—It is a curious thing, and still undiagnosed by medical science. “But along about this time every year, with the snow on the ground and the wind whipping the “new look” to old look specifications, I take down with a strange affliction. - _ This illness fosters a craving, not unlike an expectant mother’s yen for sour pickles and chow mein. at 3a. m.. A force stronger than I whispers incessantly: “Get out of town,:sonny. Get out of town.

He says I am looking for an easy way to skip the sleet. “It is the only one-way disease I ever heard of,” he says. “You must be at least half duck, because every time you get-this compulsion to wana the winter, I notice the direction is always south.” “Craft, in dealing with suspicion of this sort, is not only pardonable but necessary, I covered-the trail last year by heading for Montreal, then duck-

But the main thing is, when I come up’ with a couple of scholarly treatises, suspicion about my desire for travel will have begun to wane. Culture is always a good thing to hide behind—and anyhow, ‘there are some very interesting people in Chapel Hill It is also my alma mater, and now I've paid off the student loan fund, I figure I am allowed to go back. i

Getting Warmér All the Time

WELL, after I fuzz up the trail a little bit with a few piecés on cbllege, 1948, I just ‘sort of disappear: It seems to me there is a client in Birming-

ham, Ala., which is a southern city. I know there's ||

one in Houston, Tex., and some general buyers of my wares in El Paso, and some more in Albuquerque. You ean see it getting warmer all’ the | time. Right across the river from EI Paso is Mexico, and the bulifights ought to be rmning in Juarez

now; and it’s warm there, too. There are interest-

ing Indians, also sunshine, in Albuquerque. Now the point is, when you're that far from home, they might as well let you stay awhile as go to all the

trouble of bringing you back. Especially if you

accept no phone calls or wires from headquarters. It seems to me that this is a fool-proof way to succumb to un allergy to six-foot snow drifts. It is more dignified than that old pulse-feeling, trend-noting dodge I used to employ in the summertime. to get away from New York heat. Texas is big and full of stories. You can't knock a man for being interested in education and Indians and the colorful habits of the Mexicans across thg river from El Paso. The pay runs on, steady, and after awhile the jcioles will stop forming on my mustache. I tell you, a trip to Cleveland has more possibilities than the law allows.

His pal, E. T.

And a. Long, Long List of Help |

THESE gentlemen, who serve as major-domos ex-officio of the executive mansion, brought along a list of the help who keep the steam up and the presidential dishes washed. Mr. Truman has a chief carpenter at $3648, three assistant carpenters, and two helpers, who keep the doors from squeaking, but who do not, of course, worry with such things as the President's new back porch. A master plumber at the same wage as the boss carpenter, a journeyman | plumber and a plumber’s helper keep the drains open and plug leaks in the hot water pipes. The
