PICKED UP" - The first time
they met was in public dance hall.
She was standing at the side long
ing for a dance-with anyone.
He sauntered up, asked for dance
with her and she complied. She
didn't mind his cigaret breath or his
boorish demeanor. He was per
feet dancer, and in that she 'reveled.
The second time they met was on
the street. He barely tipped his hat
to her. and she smiled to him.
That was encouraging, so the third
meeting was more intimate.
Hello, kid!' was his greeting
She was a bit alarmed, but she an
swered with Hello"
So the meetings went, he not
deeming it necessary to doff his hat
to her or greet her with better sal
utation than Hello. kidp'; she en-
couraging him all the more by not
showing she felt offended by his
manners toward her.
She happened to pass a group of
those idlers who find all their time
taken up with standing by corner
cigar, or other, stores.
'Hello, kidp', came from the
group.
She looked at them. Not one of
them she knew. She was surprised.
She had passed that group many
times before and this was the first
time they had hailed her. t..

Frank VanderHp has come and gone.
He was taken around Chi. by Julius
Rosenwald in julius best limousine.
With him was Frank Trumbul,
chairman directors of Chesapeake &
Ohio Ry. and chairman railway ex-
ecutives' advisory committee.
No whispered or suffered mixing
came from Mister Vanderhp on why
he came to Chi. He said he's for
Hughes and after the war there will
be grave business problems to face.
But outside of that Mr.. V. pussy
footed his way locally and vocaIy.
There are important and delicate
financial and business problems fac
ing the country which must be care
fully dealt with" was one handout Of
wisdom from the Vanderlip oracle.
He being the vice president Of the
biggest bank in America, the Ma
tional City Bank (Rockefeller) OF
New York-and he being the head Of
the new $5O,OOO,OOO corporation to
get more foreign trade for America
why couldn't he give us something
with more stuff and fiber to chew on
mentally than this old stuff about
delicate problems"
Was Mister Vanderlip here on
business or politics?
Is Mister .Vanderlip another of
those bankers who knows how to
make politics help banking?

KEEPS RECORD OF ALL CASES

Are wild birds the property of the sew

These are questions at issue in case

T. S. Allen United States district at

hunters about this law. The hunters
want to know whether the district at

it and punish violators.
Many violations are being reported, -
said Mr.. Allen, land we are keeping a
careful record of these violations. to-

If the supreme court holds that the law
is constitutional the Department of JUS

violate it until the supreme court has
decided about it.
"The government contends that con-

no matter whether they are the property

If they are the property of the United
