About New York
Commuters Cheer Photog-
rapher at Grand Central.

NEW YORK, P).-The photogra-
pher who occupies makeshift studio in
a downstairs corridor of the Grand
Central terminal has customers waiting
in long lines to visit him these days. All
of the $4,000 commuters who ride to
work each morning and home. each
night on the New York Central must
paw him a call before February l.
either to pose for a new portrait or to
get a fresh print of one already in his
files.
The road is instituting a new form
of communication ticket.
Almost eight yeats ago the New York
Central first compelled all OF its COM
muters to have portraits pasted beside
their tickets. The commuter rides 10
and from New York for a few tenths OF
a cent a mile. whereas the occasional
traveller who comes to the city only
once a week or once month must
pay rate much higher.
The railroad found that its commu-
tation tickets were being Scalped. The
regular fare to Poughkeepsie. for ex-
ample, was 1898. The holder OF a
communication ticket rode for 81 cents.
The communication ticket was not trans
ferable, but trainmen could not prevent
it's transfer. Shopkeepers, cigar deal
ers near suburban stations bought COM
mutation tickets and rented them out
to casual city-goers at a steady profit.
The road computed that it was losing
/ half million dollars year on illegal
transfer of communication tickets-and it
ordered all commuters to have their
pictures on their tickets to make trans
fer impossible.
Refunds For Absent Minded.
The new tickets are encased in fold
ers which have the bearers likeness on
the other flap. Instead of being punch
ed, as the old tickets were, and good
for but 30 rides month, they are
merely shown to the conductor, and ore
good for as many rides a month as the
commuter wants to take between his
home and the city.
And the road has solved the problem
of what to do when commuter leaves
his ticket at home. He pays the con-
ductor his cash fare and gets receipt.
When he brings along his ticket The
next day, the company refunds his fare
A Year-Around Job.
Even outside the seasonal rush for
new communication pictures, the photog-
rapher who makes the portraits keeps
fairly busy. He is engaged by the rail-
road TO make the pictures at 50 cents
apiece, and the road pays the bill.
At present, when the new form Of
ticket is compelling every passenger to
rushes them through in less than a
minute and manages to serve 600 or
700 patrons day. In normal times
he has only few score of customers q
day. New commuters are always COM
ing to him to pose, old commuters are
always losing their ticket folders and
having to be Photographed, and some
of the neutrality-suspicious. the
young Women-are never satisfied with
their pictures, and keep coming back
for new ones.
The railroad encounters commuters
now and then, who fatty refuse to nave
men who live in the suburbs and work

Marietta, Okla--(AP)-The old
qutstion-why were jackrabbits ever

by O. Fricke, sntsrprisinS farmer
Of Love Valley.
Fricke had about 400 laying hens
on his farm, and lot Of jeckrab-
bits. He was buying expensive meat
scraps TO balance the hens diet, and
the rabbits were eating his crops.
So, Fricke began using . gun. He
killed, skinned, and dried the pests,
and then ground them up with The
rest Of his feed mixture.
