| Inside Indianapolis

HOTELS FROWN upon the practice of taking towels, ashtrays, blankets and sundry other articles from the premises. Quite a nuisance.

More so when a guest leaves without stopping at

the front desk. Gags of that nature can lead a man to the clink. But, you may be happy to know there's one article in every hotel in the country that you can

have: It's the Gideon Bible, That's right. If you're

Interested enough to swipe it, the Gideon people think you'll read it and that’s what they're after.

Loses 25 or 30 Yearly

MRS. GRACE EASY housekeeper at the Claypool Hotel, estimated she’ll lose from 25 to 30 Bibles a year. My first thought was that people who steal Bibles certainly have reached the depths of maliciousness. The housekeeper disagreed. In her 15 years of experience in being housekeeper of a hotel, Mrs. Greathouse has never seen a Bible destroyed. Many other things in a room, yes, ‘but not the Scriptures.

How many guests read the Good Book? Mrs.

Greathouse didn't know exactly but estimated about 50 per cent of the traveling people read the ible “We find favorite passages marked or thankYou notes left as markers quite often,” said Mrs. Greathouse. Is there a favorit ehoose? “We find the most thumbed page Is 528. It seems the Twenty-Third Psalm is read the most,”

front where Psalms 23 and 27 are recommended for those who are lonesome and discouraged. At the Lincoln Hotel, Housekeeper Mary Delaney, had a similar story to tell. She remembers pages being cut out. Carefully cut out. Miss Delaney thinks during World War II the Bible was read the most. Maids have reported finding them under pillows and on reading stands. She figures the hotel loses on ‘the average of one Bible a- month. * How are they replaced?

She recalled several years ago a note left by a despondent young man who considered seriously of ending it all. He read the 23d Psalm and got a grip on himself. I listened while Miss De= ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16—It looks very much as if we shall be forced to buy a cat, although I personally hate cats, because the little’dog is lonesome for his crony and broods around the house all day long. The gloom mounts so high that it is like living in a mortuary, for a Boxer can look sadder than any other pooch I know. What happens is that we have been away for

quite a piece, and in the absence our young man

has been subjected to ‘a cat called Figaro. This Figaro is a kind of cut-rate Siamese, with overtones of alley tom, but he has enthralled our beast to a point of desperation unrivaled by Romeo and Juliet. Do not come asking me- what is wrong with our dog, he should flip his lid for a cat. I am not a psychiatrist. The ownership of a canine calls for so much overtime that I am real. pleased.we do net own Lassie.—I don’t care if she—I mean he—makes a grand a week, it would still be too much trouble. Lassie, you know, is really a he-dog. Imagine the psychic complications of owning a mutt whose fame is founded on femininity, when all along the movie star is just spoiling to go out to shoot a game of kelly pool with the fellows.

IMAGINE being a dog’ named ‘Spike or “Bitch or Sandy, who got himself given away for a lousy 10-buck board bill, who was fleabit and maybe a touch mangy, and who now barks on the radio for Red Heart and who stars in the flicks and who is worth over-all a million clams while still hav ing to answer to the name of Lassie?

WASHINGTON, Feb 16—I don’t want to be too rough on the Maritime Commission, but in the maze of statistics surrounding this foot-in-mouth organization about all I can see is a picture

of-some old federal -salts-busty- shoveling millions

of dollars overboard. This made a magnificent splash; my only complaint is that tHey used our dollars, How

. many have gone into the drink. nobody knows

for sure because the Commission's bookkeeping system is on the fritz. On one single deal, though,

involving three boats -on-the South Americgn-run;

the Comptrolled General charges the Commission with wasting $20 million. There is an argument about the truth of this charge. There always is. The Commission at the moment is involved in more than. 8000 separate lawsuits, all concerning money.

Careless Is the Word

NOBODY'S charging the Commission with being crooked. Careless is a better word. So there was the House Executive Expenditures Subcommittee looking into the charges of Comptroller Lindsay C." Warren, who used 208 pages of single-spaced copy to tell what he thought was wrong with the government's ship subsidy department. The room was full of officials of the Commission, mostly portly, and mostly smoking cigars. Rep. Porter Hardy (D. Va.), who's been in charge of investigating their operations for the last couple of years, looked them over carefully, before he announced: “I had great difficulty understanding how some of your people ever could pass a civil service examination.’ Or how the Commission ever operated at all with them on the payroll. And-I see some of the same old faces here today that keep the question mark in my mind. ” You never did see such squirming.
