' BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET e ———————— ° ‘ : Why Imagine Your Own Plots? ife Off [Real Life Offers Them Gratis : By BILLY ROSE : In Battle Creek, Michigan, on July 30, 1949, a Mrs. Zilpha Perske asked her husband for a hundred dollars, and when he wanted to know what it was for she refused to tell him. One word led to a thousand others, and finally the hysterical housewife ran into the bedroom, took a rifle from the closet and shot herself. Mrs. Perske hung on for two days, and during that time her husband not only gave his blood to keep her going but persuaded friends to do the same. A few minutes before she died, he learned what she had wanted the }mndred dollars for—to surprise him on his birthday with a new hurting rifle.

One night in the Spring of 1924, [n the middle of the Illinois flat-

lands, the engineer and fireman of a fast mail train found themselves looking into the barrels of a ‘couple of guns. The men behind the guns told them to stop the train and back it up to a crossing they had just passed.

At the crossing, four men wearing gas masks stepped out of a sedan. After shooting the glass out of the mail-car window, they tossed a tear bomb inside, and when the mail clerks came out.the bandits went in. When they drove off, they took with them 60 bags of registered mail which contained two million dollars in cash, jewels and negotiable securities. The case was assigned to Bill Fahy, the post office department’s ace inspector, and in a matter of hours, road blocks were set up, suspects were being questioned, and detectives from New York to San Francisco were on a 24-hour shift. Two days after this bhistoric beist, one of the army of dicks ' working on the case’'got a phone call from an underworld character who offered to give bimn the mname of the man who had masterminded the stick-up. His motive for squealing, he said, was revenge, and when bis yarn was checked the man he named was arrested and convicted, and most of the two million recouped. The thief, as corny and contrived as it may seem, was Inspector Bill

EXTENSION TELEPHONES Ever want to be two places at once when your telephone rings? Here’s the solution: an extension telephone upstairs, back in the kitchen, down in the basement, or for any room in the house. An extension puts your telephoné where you are...saves those steps up and down stairs or through the length of the house.

Fahy, and when he planned the ‘hold-up, he was certain he’d get ‘away with it because he knew he’d ‘be assigned to track himself down. ‘The thing he didn’t figure on was ‘the resentment of the underworld because he was muscling in on its racket. " ‘ * & » - ON AN EARLY morning broadcast out of Berlin a few weeks ago, Bill Downs of CBS relayed the following: / Shortly after the war, a German Hausfrau was notified that her soldier husband had died in a Russian prison camp. After the usual formalities, the Berlin authorities issued a certificate of death, and a few months later the woman remarried. : : : Last month she was informed by the commandant of the prison camp that her husband was alive and would arrive by train on a certain date. ’ The woman showed husband No. 2 the notice, and the couple decided that the sensible thing was for the three of them to sit down at a table and talk the matter out. When the train pulled in a few days later, however, busband No. l didn’t get off. The Russian officer in charge informed the wife that the excitement of the homecoming had been too much for the ex-prisoner, and he had died of a beart attack the night before. When the woman got back to her flat, she found her second husband had committed suicide. A note explained that, under the circumstances, it was the only decent thing to do. :

An extra telephone is a real convenience. It saves steps, saves time, keeps you from missing calls, and your telephone is always within reach when you need to make a call in a hurry. = Yes, an extension telephone is a great convenience in so many different ways, and all at a cost of only a few cents a day.
