SHOP NOTES

OF course the explanation is prob
ably simple. but wondering crowds
stood in front of Weber & Hewett S
window Friday afternoon and tried
to fathom how a can of Libby's Con-
densed milk could run and run and
run into a pitcher and yet the can
never emptied nor the pitcher filled.
1t was so puzzling that many stood
for minutes and watched the appar-
ent phenomenon and from the in
side the expressions on the faces Of
the people were better than a yaude-
willie show
