New York, Jan. 13.-lt is well
known fact that you can get away with
murder in New YorE, but you can't
call a Brooklyn policeman a bum-atI
least not New Hampshire bum-and
get away with it. A cop is called many
things in the course of the days work,
but he has to draw the line at some
thing. And New Hampshire bum" is
where he draws it.
The Brooklyn patrolman lived in the
same apartment house in which Mrs.
Anna German had her quarters and her
radio outfit. Mrs. Germans radio
outfit involved putting a wire across the
fire escape. The neighbors objected,
but nobody did anything about it till
the policeman took things and the wire
into his own hands and cut the wire.
1t was then, he testified in police
court, that Mrs. Gorman-cut off in
the middle of concert from Chicago
called him a lot of things, including
New Hampshire bum"
Not only may lady not relieve her
mind to and about a policeman in these
parts nowadays, but no longer may she

woman arrested here for carrying
pocket flask is Miss Catherine Gal
lagher, a young lady in the gown bust
ness on lower Fifth avenue. She admit
ted ownership of the liquor, 50 the
police say, and seemed not unduly per-
turbed when ta1en t othe police sta
ton to arrange for bail. She is either
warning example or good sport, de-
pending on whether the drys and the
vets finally win out.
While that issue is being decided
there are a number Of interesting jewel
rObberies going the rounds. oh, of
course, no crime wave or anything
of that sort. Merely robberies, holdups
and the like. The Mrs. Irene School
kopf holdup after the card party,
wherein the lady was dexterously de-
prived Of $50O,U0O in really nice dia-
mOnds, pearls, sapphires and emeralds,
is still the big topic of interest. 1t
serves to inform the public that some
ladies have bead bags valued at 5000
into which they toss bills TO the amount
of $1400.
And the $SS,O0O gem robbery in two
uptown jewelry shops on Broadway was
not to be sneezed at either. a pretty
thought on the part of one of the sus-
poets was to give the name and address
of a perfectly innocent man whose name
and address he had heard an aequaint
ance mention.
And, of course, most other events, for
the average citizen, are eclipsed just
now by the 23rd annual Automobile |
show. The National Automobile Show |
has filled Grand Central Palace plumb |
full of cars so glorious that you no |
money TO buy them. You merely won |
get one. 1t looks as though everybody !
without a car is going to remedy that
deficiency, for before the doors opened |
there were 1000 people clamOring to be |
admitted.
A stroll roundabout the 416 exhibits |
proved two things. First, that people |
are going in for more quiet colors in |
spite of the jade green and coral pink
specimens which occasionally jump out |
at you. And, second, that sport cars,
while not so bizarre in outline as form |
erly are going in for flashing nickel |
coated radiators.
1t may be noted, by the way, that |
Heaven and the traffic cops alone know
where another half dozen cars can be
wedged in among the already sluggish
streams of traffic that clog what used to
be the thoroughfare. 1t has already
come to such a pass that it is quicker to
walk up Fifth avenue than to ride. But
did any such argument deter the New
Yorker and his lady, intent on spend
ing that Christmas bonus at Grand Cen
trail Palace this weekE Did it? Eat
chance
Both the cats and the dogs had their
innings this week also. There seems
10 be cat show every few weeks, but !
