MULE BALks At LEMON PIE

rlsty.

Greenwich Conn.-Many prominent
citizens of this community whose
wealth permits them to indulge in pie
were forced to 60 without their daily
rations unless, perchance, It was lemon
pie that they had ordered from Conk-
Inns bakery. A plain. everyday mule,
that hadn't been considered at all In
the food administration's regulations,
was responsible.
The mule furnishes the motive pow
er for one Of the delivery wagons Of
the Round Hill dairy. His driver left
him in Greenwich avenue and went
into lunch room for light break
fast.
The mule had hunger, too. and 1t
was accentuated by the aroma that he
inhaled with the clear morning air. He
pulled up to the rear Of the bakery
wagon. When the driver Of that We
hicle returned from making a delivery
his stock Of pies was reduced to the
lemon variety. That mule has no ap-
petite for the crust that conceals the
citrus.
