'WIND-BAGr SAYS

atra
Justice Begins Another Round
of Hot Squabble With the
Prosecutor
FLASHES LETTER FROM
COMMISSIONER HELME
Latter Denies That Judge Rec
commended Appointment Of
Grating Inspector

'Wind-bag" is the term applied to
Prosecuting Attorney Frazer by JUS
tive Jeffries In statement issued,
Thursday. Incorporated In the jus
tees statement Is the copy of letter
from Commissioner James w. Helme,
of the Michigan dairy and food depart
ment, in which Mr.. Helme states that
Justice Jeffries did not recommend
the appointment OF Robert II. Doherty,
one Of the food inspectors held on q
charge of extortion. Prosecutor Frazer
had said, after Justice Jeffries re-
leased Doherty on $500 bail, that the
justice had aided Doherty In getting
his appointment.
Asked whether his statement meant
that he would not bring contempt OF
court proceedings against Frazer, JUS
tice Jeffries said:
The statement means Just what
have said. have no time to waste
on q wind-bag"
The statement follows:
When Shepherd first took office
and started on his spectacular raids.
his first raid was on me. and Detroit
is familiar with his tenure OF office.
II would seem that Mr.. Frazer h start
ing the same spectacular methods, and
regards me, as most OF the politicians
do, as common object OF assault.
when I first read Mr.. Frazer's
statement, admit I was angry: but,
upon reflection. I am satisfied that
took that windbag too seriously.
The following letter will show how
correct FIazer's statement was regard
ing my relations with Mr.. Doherty:

Ny Dear Judge:
Just to correct the mix-up In

Here's Where Time Goes
is TAKEN BY THRILLING THINGS
Consumes Many Weeks
Average Business Man Spends Six Days Each Year on Troll
ley Car, Goes Up $4,000 Feet in Air and Is 1441A
Days Eating and Sleeping.

Do you know how and where you spend
your time and effort?
Does the man who lives fifteen minutes
by trolley from his office realize that he
spends nearly a week every year on the
street car? Two times a day. six days
a week and fifty weeks a year (allowing
two weeks vacation), makes 900 times
that he takes the ffteen-minute trip to
his office. The power Of mathematics,
therefore, shows that the average busi-
ness man spends $50 hours, or more than
six days each year, on a trolley car. And
since he works but six days a week, the
fact comes bobbing up that of the fifty
nine are spent in his office-for a period
one-half as long as hts vacation he is
strap-hanging.
When Mr.. Business Man gets to his
office, which as often as not is on the
tenth floor Of a towering building. he

Is UP in the air for fair-30,000 feet is
some distance when you're looking down.
The man who dwells on the tenth floor
cannot deny that he goes straight up
into the air for nearly six miles during
every fiscal year. This Is one mile
higher than the worlds altitude record
for aeroplanes. When II is suggested that
some men maintain tenth floor Offices for
twenty, thirty and in some cases forty
years, and that others have ofices on
the twentieth or thirtieth floors Of sky

scrapers-a hint is enough, count 1t up
for yourself. One might think that such
elevator flights would give a hard-work-
ing man a good chance to so to heaven
when he dies-but he descends the same
distance annually in order to spend each
night on terra firma. Remember, too,
that in most cases the distance Is doubled
by an extra up and down trip for lunch
and instead Of six miles up each year
the man makes twelve.
Long Line of Writing.
Arrived at his office he dictates let
ters and at the end Of the day signs
them. Among all the various kinds OF
business an average is hard to strike,
but when II is considered many offices
send out 1000 letters every day it would
seem that one man might produce fifty.
But to be perfectly safe and avoid the
accusation that all this Is exaggeration,
we'll say the average man handles twen-
ty-five one-page letters daily.
Say that his signature IL stretched to
a straight line would be six inches long
and he signs every letter himself At
that rate he executes a six-inch sigma
ture 1850 times a year. Without putting
down the intermediate calculation, the
result is given at once. The signatures
Of the average business man, IL laid In

Of 5000 inches, which is 3,T5O feet The
line of John Smith-John Smith-John

Months to Sleep and Eat.
The man must eat and sleep Allow
half an hour to each meal, or one hour
and a half a day for eating and eight
hours for sleeping. Nine and one-half
hours, go days in the year manipulated
mathematically would yield the startling
information that IA 1-2 days out of every
years are spent in eating and sleeping.
All Of these figures are conservative, too.

business mans hair and the careful
arrangement of his necktie. Although
