| An Old Hand at the Job W. E. VAN TALGE, 3810 W. Washington St., president of the Kennel Club, was just entering the ring when I met him. The cocker spaniel he had on a leash, an old campaigner in dog shows, had all the poise of a finely trained Irish setter. “Well, here I go,” Mr. Van Talge said, as the announcer called for cocker spaniels. “It's going] to be tough. It always is for the president of the club.” I wish I could have paraded with ol’ Pal among the pens last Sunday. He could have had the time of his life. There was room at the show for| a lot of friendliness on the part of the dogs. Pall would have shown them all hpw to wag a tail. It's hard to say what he would have done had: he met the French poodle face to face. Probably laughed himself sick, but one thing sure, oI' Pall would be wagging his tail. :

NEW YORK, Oct. 4—Went to a newsreel the other day and saw a flock of scientists unswaddling the mummy of an ancient Peruvian, fellow about 3000 years old. He will live from now on in New York, and he will be oblivious of the squawking taxis, the uptorn . streets and the stomach ulcers which abound in the mightiest skyscrapers of the world. Ih the midst of all the turmoil of arms to the world, money to Britain and the fact of Russian A-bomb possession, I find this fellow oddly comforting. I met a bunch of his buddies last year In the National Museum in Lima, in his home country, and practically without exception they all had holes in their heads. Some had completely healed fractures; others had divots you could squeeze an egg through; others had precise little surgical borings, soldered together with metal, which indicated expert trepanning, even 3000 years ago. Neat surgeon’s tools for that very delicate job even were found in some of the mummy graves. é

Cracked Crowns—An Old Story

I VISITED these mummies on a gloomy Sunday during Peru's cloudy season. My venerable uncle, Mr. John O'Rourke, and I became most morose about the future of mankind. “Look at this old bum,” said Mr. O'Rourke, pointing to the skull of an aged gentleman with three crevasses in his cranium. “Three thousand years old. Lived in an age where everything was free. No income taxes. If you got hungry you could pick it off a tree or dip it out of the river. No overcrowding, no psychiatrists, no television. And yet he isn’t happy until he provokes somebody into pounding craters in his conk with a pre-Christian ball bdt. And look at his cousins— all with holes in their heads.” I had previously visited Pompeii, and remembered the happy citizens who were suddenly embalmed in molten lava from the volcano, and had also been reading a grim book about North Africa, in which the early settlers happily chopped off each others’ heads and dumped each other into vats of boiling oil. Early Egyptian history is full of plagues and famines and brothers poisoning sisters, and if you beef about modern taxes—well, the old Pharoahs used to put the whole population to work dragging stones for the pyramids.

Salesman John

Mr. O'Rourke and I sat down to muse that] one hole in the head is pretty much like another, and that the man who is sundered by a block-| buster of angry neutrons and protons is not al great deal deader than one of the old Incas who! got crowned with a stone sledge.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—The greatest salesman in America turns out to be John L. Lewis. He works for nothing, peddling oil burners and fuel oil at a rate no other salesman ever achieved. Every time Eyebrows Lewis intones a pronuciamento against the coal mine owners, the opposition’s sales spurts. Whenever he issues a no-work-week order another consignment of perfectly good coal furnaces goes to the junk yard. Since Mr. Lewis started cutting didoes in the coal business in a large way a couple of years ago, most of the manufacturers of coal stokers started also to build oil burners. Today the official figure indicates that they are selling twice as many furnaces for oil as they do for coal. One of the few householders in these parts who still heats his house with coal is old Eyebrows, himself. My spies down Alexandria, Va. way report that his own coal bin isn’t as full as it might be. This is bad. What I've got for sale, and I'd hoped he might be interested, is one perfectly good coal furnace. Mahogany color and big enough to heat a five-room house.

Didn't Work So Well

THIS USED TO BE in my hired man’s place. Last winter sometimes he could get coal for it and sometimes he couldn't. Then he tried to feed it firewood. This didn’t work so well. And also he spent a good deal of time chopping down trees when he should have been plowing up the potatoes I intended to sell to the government. ’ I figured I'd get the coal in early this fall. All the coal merchants, however, stopped advertising their wares. Turned out, I discovered via telephone, that they had nothing much to sell. What to do? They suggested, poor hopeful devils, that I wait until Eyebrows called off the strike. Until the nights got nippy I waited. The hired

The Quiz Master

man complained that he was tired of going to bed at sundown in order to keep warm. I hope Eyebrows will understand. I tried to be loyal. I hauled out that perfectly good coal furnace and replaced it with a new job that burns oil. The statisticians figure that it'll cost $144 for oil to do the same job that coal would have done during the winter for $126. My loss on the furnace that has nothing to burn is in addition. There's nothing wrong with it, except that it seems to.be an antique like a lamp that'll burn nothing but whale fat Nobody wants it. Nobody’ll haul it away. It's cluttering up my toolshed and there’s no room for the lawnmower. This is Eyebrows’ fault. The least he can do is take time off from the speechifying at that fancy hotel in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., and make me an offer for my furnace.

this, himself. He's called off the strike in some of the hard coal mines, but he can’t persuade me. I've rushed up too often to his headquarters, where the chandeliers sport golden picks and shovels, to hear him change his mind. I'm sticking to oil. ” :

Wounds Force Youth to Confess

In confessing a Sept. 28 rob-bery-slugging after days of grilling by city detectives a 19-year-old youth todgy revealed a bullet wound in his’ hip which he had been secretly treating himself in a jail cell. William Bridges, 19, of 727 Fayette St, was treated for two infected wounds by the jail doctor after he finally broke down, admitted participation in the robbery .and told detectives his wounds needed more expert attention. Bridges implicated Clarence Gardner, 19, of 335 W. 11th St. and™ a 15-year-old boy. Both Bridges and Gardner are under indictment and the boy has been turned over to Juvenile Aid. The trio, according to detec tives, slugged and robbed Harry Beynon, 70-year-old merchant policeman of 1825 Dawson St. while he was patroling his beat. As the robbers ran Mr. Beynon fired three shots and Bridges fell. Arrested by Mr. Beynon at the scene, Bridges admitted he had been “with” the other boys but was steadfast in insisting he did not know they were going to rob the elderly man and that he did
