bones but words will never hurt me.” Shaddap. ‘Citizens (those of you who have had the occasion to eat out during the past five years or so), gather close and let me tell you how I turned the tables (stomachs, too) on some of our notable Hoosler restaurateurs, Hash slingers, if you will.

Almost Developed Stinker Complex

LUCKY FOR ME I knew my way around the Murat Theater. It was sgsimple matter to get my electric stove, ham , buns, , mustard and paper spoons set up, No doubt, looked like any one of the 60 manufacturers that had show booths in the place. I kept telling myself that my motives were the same and that helped a lot. Almost developed a stinker-complex, too. - But, one buck isn’t too much for a restaurant man to pay for a hamburger, do you think? As I held my nose and shut my eyes (making patties out of the meat was worth $1), I heard D, A. Clark, president of Clark's Lunch Rooms, Inc., South Bend, clack away with the middle portion of his speech: “Labor Cost Control Through Proper Layout.” Timely topic. There would be

plenty of guys laid out after coming to my layout, I mused, rubbing the ptomaine off my hands. THE BRIEFING to which I subjected myself prior to invading the temple began paying dividends., Not an iota of sympathy stirred within

What a Squabble

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-1 have mislaid the box score on the political news, atomic progress and the pull-haul with the Russians, lately. account of being fascinated by the endless battle between the American Vegetarian, a publication, and Mr. G. Bernard Shaw. Mr. Shaw is a minor Irish play-

wright who. is still_building a reputation...

It seems to me, this bitter ideological clash is worthy of mediation by. the United Nations, since it is easily as important as what you are hearing from the stern-end of campaign trains these days, and is obviously insoluble as it stands. This squabble might even turn out to be one the United Nations can settle, all by itself, and that alone would make history. The facts. in a nutshell (a nutshell is neither

“fest nor-fowk-and-hence.is.admissible.in. a dis-

cussion of this sort) are these: Mr. Shaw purports to be a vegetarian, and has, indeed, traded on the pose for a great many of his 92-plus years. But Mr. Shaw is admittedly a vegetarian with. reservations. He also is cynical, Whilé not a constant consumer of dripping mutton chops and broiled kidnéys, G. B. does not abominate all killing. He comes out flatly in favor of squashing mosquitoes, tromping tarantuIns, swatting flies and crushing beetles. He also holds still for the slaying of fur-and-leather-bear-ing beasts, for their hides and tallow. He wears sturdy, honest English boots.

Enrages American Carrot Guild

THIS completely enrages the American CarrotJuice Guild, which is of a mind to toss the whole thing at Mr. Trygve Lie and his impotent aids. For, as you see, vegetarianism is not a flimsy whim. It §s an international force, like Arabian oil fields and munitions making. I quote from the trenchant quill of Mr. Bymon Gould, associate editor of the. American Vegetarian and vice presidential candidate on the let-em-eat-roots platform: “There can be no peace pn earth as long as millions of innocent animals are slaughtered in

My radar-type. ears recorded nonsense such as this: year of 1948 is crucial to us (restaurateurs).”, “Throughout the natipn operating costs are skyrocketing, food prices customer resistance is stiffening.” One clown who ‘had the appearance of having been on a hamburger diet (with everything) all his life, shoutéd into another-man’s ear: “This situation’'s gotta go. I've always been satisfied| with four or five per cent net profit but’ now, now—two per cent or even a loss. That's gotta The listener said he had to go, too. As custodian of the building he had work to do. “I've got troubles myself,” the custodian explained. THE FRESHLY ground, government-inspected, grade A, No. 1 mess I shall call hamburger sizzled delightfully on the electric grill. Breathing became rather difficult on the Murat premises. Interest, however, developed in ‘my stand almost immediately. Several highly insulting questions were fired at me.’ I dispersed the mob merely by throwing bits of cooked meat at the front line.

Mr. Clark received a round of spirited applause

for his speech. Remember, “Birds of a feather applaud together,” “Get your special IRA hamburgers right here,” I shouted at the retiring audience. Most of the restaurateurs looked heat and tired. So—"Get an IRA hamburger to go with your personality,” became my selling feature. A bald-headed individual asked, “Read the sign, Mac!" “One DOLLAR? That's screamed, “Did you get a special invitation to come here?” was my comment. “Scram. Go someplace else. I don’t need your business.”

Sneaks Out From Under the Tent

a ALTHOUGH history says that Mr. Shaw, while posing as a natiré Boy, has sometimes attributed). his longevity to a monotonous fare of nuts, fruit, grass, cheese and eggs, Mr. Shaw now denies it. He al%o sneaks out from under a flat condemnation as a secret addict of liver extract. Says Mr. Shaw, in rebuttal: “I have never ascribed my longevity to my vegetarian diet. I come of a long-lived and fertile family, all meat eaters. I have not ‘been taking liver injections for many years’. When I was 82 I tried them to cure an attack of pernicious anemia. Result—I dropped apparently dead. Twice. “Gland extracts are no more outside vegetarian diet than milk or cheese. Abstention from killing is impossible. If- you know nothing of’ locusts and white ants, at least you have heard of the Colorado beetle.” Mr. Gould replies testily: “I note you now disown the necessity of liver injections but have switched to cod-liver oil. I do not know what occasion you have reference to that would inspire a true vegetarian to inflict this sticky fluid into his system.” It goes on like this, for pages and pages of abuse. I say frankly it's too big for the common courts. This is a job for the international council, and they better come into chambers in their sock feet.

WASHINGTON, Oct.. 14—America’s portrait artists are dusting off their berets, soaking their old brushes in turpentine, buying up flesh-colored paint and—I presume—voting Republican. If Tom Dewey wins on Nov. 2, the Democratic picturepainting boom is on. It 1s an old custom. Every time a federal big-wig loses his job, it is his_habit to leave a portrait of himself to stare dofirly from the wall at his successor. This costs the bureaucrat nothing. We taxpayers, fellow art lovers, foot the bill. What we've got so far for our money is a large assortment of pictures in gold frames, showing elderly gents with and without whiskers. How miles of federal corridors are lined with

these [mages of portly gents; mostly. with gold, watch ns draped across their middles, I hate to think.

The one exception is a painting of Madam Frances Perkins, the eéx-Secretary of Labor, who but who “wings of

‘Wings’ Giva Clerks ‘Willies’

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT clerks try not to look when they pass by; claim Madam P's wings give them the willies. What brings on this essay on federal art is the fact that the official portrait of the Madam’s successor, the late Lewis Schwellenbach, has just been delivered. It cost us $1100. But there's kind of a nice story that goes along with ft. Mr, Schwellenbach was an unusual cabinet officer. He was so modest that he wouldn't even consider having his picture painted at taxpayers’ expense. He died without having it done. ‘This left an ‘empty spot on the Labor Depart. ment's wall. Mr. Schwellenbach's associates began scouting around for an artist, . They conferred

with Mrs, Schwellenbach, who said an artist had just painted the picture of her neighbor, Fred Vinson, to leave at the Treasury Department when he moved over to the Supreme Court. He did a good job of the Chief Justice. So the labor moguls got in touch with Frederick Roscher, the Berks County, Pa., artist, to memorialize Mr. Schwellenbach in oils. They gave him some photos of the late Secretary and told him how Mr. Schwellenbach hardly considered himself dressed until he'd bitten: off the end of his first cigar of the day. Mr. Roscher made his preliminary sketch with a fat stogie in Mr. Schwellenbach’'s fist. Mrs, Sohwellenbach dropped by and vetoed this idea. Then she went on to Ireland, where she still Jemains.
