was pinkish about the ears today,
and was he ashamed Just because
he was trying to be thorough and
astute he was summoned before
the grand jury over "the great
towel mystery" or "the missing
49,"
AS custodian of the courthouse,
Gipple, in line of duty, placed a
total of "a towels in the grand
jury room last week. A couple of
days later only two remained.
Grand %juries being what they
are, Mr.. Gipple didn't openly &C
cuse jurors, so he penned a polite
note asking the jury to be careful
of his towels and please return the
80 missing ones. He was trying
to do the right thing.
But the jury, strangely, resent
ed Mr.. Gipple's note, and Nh. Ed
ward j. Dunningan, foreman, was
going to see about it. So Mr..
Gipple was called. What took
place was not divulged. Mr.. Dun
nigan said later Mr.. Gipple "was
not quite sure" whether he placed
"a towels in the room and "the
grand jury, after hearing his story,
was not impressed with the humor
of the situation. VIZ feel the care
of the towels is a matter for Mr..
Gipple rather than the grand
jury"
p. S. The towels are still miss
ing.
Baltimore-Still actively en-
ployed, Jacob Gerlach, ~74-year-old
engineer, millwright and pattern
maker of this city, has found a
way to fill in his spare time since
his working days were reduced
from six to four a week.
He obtained a slab of stone
from a local quarryman, and
spends his idle hours dressing it
down into a tombstone for his
family plot, where his wife, a
daughter-in-law and three children
already are buried, and where he
expects to be Inferred
Philadelphia-If there's one
thing Abe Leider is fussy about
it's the technique of policemen
who arrest him. Explaining why
he punched Patrolman Miller who
took him into custody for selling
paper bags without a permit, Abe
declared: Captain, I've been ar
rested by a lot of cops, but this
guy that just grabbed me has abb
solutely no style. He made me
mad, so | swung on him."
New York-The name David
Warfield will nevermore CLEAN in
electric lights, says the famous
actor, who is Sc today.
"Why should | come back to the
theater," he said, in his comfort
able, eight-room apartment. Il
have enough to live on, though
they took away some of my pea
nuts in 1929. | have worked hard
and deserve a rest. Then ! owe
something to my public in not
coming back. | have seen Bern
hardt and Ellen Terry try it. 1t
was heartbreaking. / prefer to be
remembered at my best"
The star Of "The Music Master"
and "The Auctioneer" believes
there wouldn't be SO much trouble
filling the theaters today if they
could give the public sentiment
"instead of cynicism and their So
called realism"
Tiffin, O.-Be it ever so confin-
ing, the Seneca county Jail IS
"heaven' to Vance Hopkins, IS, of
Fostoria. When his 80 day term
was complete and he was asked by
Sheriff George A. Burkett to de-
part, Hopkins protested. "It's
warm here" he said. "The beds
are soft, the food is good, and |
can rest all / like. That's heaven
to me-" The sheriff, however,
consigned him to the wide, open
spaces"
Perth, Australia-Emus, giant
flightless birds, are destroying so
much of the crops that ranchers
plan a modern offensive against
them on a 25-mile front. Emus
can run so swiftly it is difficult
for marksmen on horseback to
shoot more than a few. So ma
chine guns will be mounted on au-
tomobiles which will be driven in
among the flocks of the birds.
Wheeling, w. Va.-One error
and $50 made Edward Mckee,
Wheeling attorney, the most pop
ular deer hunter in Pennsylvania.
So say his friends, anyway.
Last year Mckee, ranging the
Pennsylvania woods in search of
deer, plugged a calf instead. Cen
erously, he paid the farmer $50
for his dead bessie.
This year he went back to Penn
sylvania on another hunting trip
and was given the freedom Of the
