scoffed. Why, he wouldn't have 10 minor adjustments to make a month. Since they were put in not one had gone completely on _the blink. Another key opened the bottom part of the meter where the coins were. By pulling, the coin box opened and spilled part of the take in Patrolman Brandenburg’s hand. He handled cold hard
tally, said the officer. He opened one of the collection boxes and sure there were envelopes with the pieces of silver in them. Last year the city of Huron collected $2663 from the 50c fines. From the parking meters $33,500 was poured into the city’s coffers.
Just like Indianapolis, Huron put the parking)! in on a 50-50 basis in order to pay for the ma-| chines. After the first year, Huron got tired of|:
that. Three more years of the installment plan remained before the city owned the meters. “We paid the rest in cash,” said Patrolman Brandenburg, “and quit worrying about it.” I don’t think the patrolman was bragging in
the least when he said that he could take the:
meter apart and put it back together again with boxing gloves on. Simple gadgets. Does the trick, too. Poke a penny in and be on your way. When I get back, friends, I'm going to see the Mayor about this, I don’t like cranks. If something is going to take my money, I want it to go in

Fetch the Rat Cheese 8 Robert C. Ruark
NEW YORK, Oct. 27—I have just commanded the waiter to fetch me two pork chops, with a side order of mashed potatoes, to be followed by a slab of apple pie and a wedge of fromage de trappe, or rat cheese. I have also specified that this fare is to be served on a plate, and not administered by needle, accompanied by advice, or garnished with a dissertation on caloric content. I am returning to the old concepts of eating, which is to eat as much as you want as often as you please of what tastes good, and let the sclentists starve themselves on their own time, and with their own formulae. I am weary of being éxperted on chow, of dodging the fancy theories concerning it. We have seen, In recent years, that carrots do not necessarily remedy night blindness, and that spinach is harmful to some people. The last I consider poetic vengeance, since anybody who professes fondness for that slimy green goo deserves whatever fate befalls him. We also learn, in a recent bulletin from the Roentgen Ray -Soclety that too. many vitamins may be poisonous to some children. Dr. John Caffey, in a paper read before the society, said as follows: “The hazards of Vitaniin A poisoning from the routine feeding of vitamin concentrates A and D to healthy infants and children are considerably greater than the hazards of vitamin deficlency in healthy children not fed vitamin concentrates.”
What It Means in English
IN ENGLISH, this means that for several thousand years people have staggered along without a steady stuffing with pills and capsules, and may be harmed or crippled by too lush a diet of
. vari-colored jellybeans of compressed energy.
We also learn from another report in the bacteriological review that common childhood diseases are no more prevalent among sketchily fed children than among little monsters who reek of cod-liver oil and are pale green from spinach con-
sumption. It also is shown that well-fed adults catch as many colds as people who eat on alternate Tuesdays. Y The researchers found that some viruses flourish in healthy patients and languish in ill-fed ones. The summer scourge of polio has been noted for years for its attacks on well-nourished kids. Sick chickens, it says here, were more resistant to cancer than healthy ones. All this is sort of sadly pleasant to hear, because more words have been wasted telling people what and how to eat than have been expended on both love and that popular perpendicular pronoun, “I” A certain amount of nourishment is necessary to the individual, but it’s my idea that it doesn’t make a lot of long-term difference on what you eat, so long as you like it.
Cannibals Wax Fat
CANNIBALS WAX fat on fricasseed neighbors; Australian aboriginals live long on a diet of grubworms and grass; Eskimos eat nothing but meat, and some highly civilized New Yorkers manage to exist on a diet of whisky and benzedrine. I have seen more digestions and dispositions wrecked by scientific diet than by overindulgence in fried potatoes. I recall a time when white bread was baked in the home, and was a delightful treat for the palate. As we have strangled our food with science, white bread has become a skimpy, pallid mouthful of chalk, loaded with vitamins and as tasteless as whey. The threat of bread, butter and potatoes, to the female and male figure alike, has been so stressed as to make an outcast of the man who favors a crusty loaf, well smeared with cow grease, or a baked potato to flank the chops. So I am quitting on the experts. Today I might eat nothing but salads, but tomorrow, if the mood strikes, I dine on banana splits en brochette. Just fetch in the grub, garcon, and no haughty looks when I ask for a second pat of butter.
Putty-Knife Crisis
By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27—Life in a putty-knife factory isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Puttyknife tycoons are frenzied. The putty-knife crisis is upon us. This, of course, is the government’s fault. The putty-knife industry was going on pretty much as usual, meaning prosperously, until Uncle Sam stuck his big nose into the business. Now coverybody, including admirals, generals, and the Hon. Emanuel Celler (D. N. Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is worrying about putty knives. And I guess H. Allen Smith, the humorist, was right a few years back when he wrote his hilarious book, “Life in a Putty-Knife Factory.” It had nothing to do with putty knives; it concerned confusion in general. Prof. Smith didn’t realize he was a prophet. Listen: Congressman Celler, a super-serious little man fn a black suit and steel-rimmed eyeglasses, opened his long-heralded inquiry into monopolies. Beside him on the bench sat the celebrated and sober-faced economist, David Cushman Coyle.
What Is Small Business?
THEY CALLED on their red carpet first Rear Adm. M. L, Ring of the Munitions Board; Adm. J. D. Boyle, the purchasing agent of the Navy; Brig. Gen. E. M. Brannon, the ditto of the Army, and Gen. A. A. Kessler of the Air Force. The question was whether the brass-bound gentlemen were spending enough of their billions with small business. And, by the way, what was small business? Adm. Ring said the military figured anybody who employs fewer than 500 workers is a small businessman. Adm. Boyle said, regretfully: “It is obviously impossible for us to buy a battleship from somebody employing less than 500 people.” Rep. J. Frank Wilson (D. Tex.) wondered how, the services were getting along with stan

specification of common-use items. That was fancy language for why in the name of economy can’t soldiers and sailors wear the same kind of underwear? Adm, Ring said, sir, the services were making a great deal of progress along that line. Even now soldiers wear shorts identical with those worn by sailors. The savings run into the millions. Economist Coyle went, harumpf. Only yesterday, he said, a member of the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce came to him with a complaint. He happened to be a distraught putty-knife manufacturer. “And he said,” continued Mr. Coyle, “that your specifications for putty knives, calipers and scrapers were so detailed that only one or two manufacturers could bid for military business.”
Tough Specifications THE UNHAPPY mogul of the putty-knife business meant that when the Army asked for bids on putty knives, it insisted that their handles be made of persimmon wood aged seven years, that these be bound to the blade with two brass studs of exact malleability, that the blade be of the sixth degree of springiness, rounded on the sides, sharp at the working end, but not too sharp, and so on for another couple of pages of fine type.
The upshot, continued Mr, Coyle, is that: out|;
of all the putty-knife factories in America, only two can afford to bid on military orders. If the others expected to do business with the government, they'd have to retool. : The jaws of the admirals and the generals sagged. Chairman Celler glared at em. The putty-
knife industry. and also Author Smith, will be/mobiles parked in alleys and on glad to learn what Adm. Ring replied. I quote him|the streets
exactly: “We shall take putty knives on as an immediate project for the benefit of small business.”

J Store Holdups Net $300 Loot
Armed Pair Robs Galyan’s Market
Armed bandits raided three Indianapolis stores and took approximately $300 early today and last night, “This is it boys . . . let's see your money.” The spokesman for two tall bandits, both armed with .38 caliber revolvers, confronted four employees of Galyan’s Market, 4411 Allisonville Road, early this morping.
and two clerks to line up near the cash registers the other ordered Kenneth Galyan, a part owner in the market, into the small office. “Out-Talked Bandit” “I out-talked him,” Mr. Galyan said. “I told him I could not open the safe and he believed me.” As the gunmen were scooping up more than $200 from the cash register, Charles Davis, of 1236 Rowlin Road, a night employee, arrived. “What you got for me, buddy?” one of the bandits greeted with a poke in the ribs with his pistol. Mr. Davis surrendered his wallet and $43. | The bandits pulled two telephones from the walls before departing. Liquor Store Robbed The Star Liquor Store, 2940 Northwestern Ave, was visited by two “smartly dressed men” last night. One pulled a gun on Lauren Collins, of 2915 Annette Ave., night clerk, while the other took approximately $50 from the cash register. They fled on foot after backing from the doorway. An undetermined amount of currency was taken from the Downey Dunker Shop, 808 Ft. Wayne Ave., by an armed robber who scorned the silver money in the cash register. “Just give me your paper money ... . I mean all of it” Mrs. Murrell Hough, 824 Christian Pl, an employee, quoted the bandit as saying.
