Jimmie Is Worried
As the time approached for
Chauncey to be released again,
Jimmie grew a trifle worried.
He really felt that the elderly
colored man would never be
able to stand the strain of an.
other sentence. So he made up
his mind to give Chauncey a
piece of honest advice.
"Chauncey," he asserted, I've
talked to several fellows around
here who have been let out, and
some Of my notions turned out
pretty well. Now, I'm going to
give you a few tips riaht from
the shoulder
The colored man grinned.
"Yo' 60 right ahead, Jimmie"
he said. whatever you says
All listens to with plenty of at
tention."
Good" cried the young man.
"That's a fine start. Now listen
carefully. You're not a young
man by any matter of means,
and I don't want you to start
kidding yourself.
Promises to Be Coo d
what want you to do from
now on is to go straight. You
can do it if you want to, and at
your age it's the only line to
follow.
st want you to promise me
Just one thing. Forget the
larceny racket. Just get your
self a good job as first step.
Then get a radio to keep you
home nights and out of trouble.
You'll be a happier man, Chaun-
cey, and I want you to make
that promise to me for your own
sake.
"I could go on for hours along
these lines, but I don't want to.
I think you know me well
enough to understand that my
advice is given only because I
like you. What do you Say?"
The colored man nodded
rapidly.
Jimmie" he returned, "yo'
Suah is my pal. Ah'm gonna
make that promise and, what's
noah, Ah'm gonna keep it. All
promise All won't forget. Just a
good job and a ILL radio to keep
me outa trouble. YaSs, sub.

Yet the friendship boomed. Chauncey would sit for

The Wise Experts

With nothing very excit-
ing going on around police
headquarters the other after
noon, some Of the boys began
to argue about bicycle riders.
One Of them insisted that Frank
Kramer was very old in the
bicycle game, while another
reporter argued the other way.
Finally, after much discus
sion, they decided to end the
argument by phoning the sport
ing department of a local
newspaper. The sleepy voice of
an office boy answered the call.
Hello" said the police re-
porter, "is this the sporting de-
partment?"
Yeah" responded the tired
one.
Well" continued the re-
porter, we've just had q little
argument over here and we'd
like you to settle 1t for us. Can
you tell us when Frank Kramer
rode his last race?"
The office boy told the in
quirer to hold on for moment.
Five minutes later, he returned.

he handed out. 81 can't find

Bing Crosby is now the most

all of which adds to his fame,

This leads naturally up to the

NEW YORK. May ELEVEN
year-old Kathryn Feibusch, young
est inventor at the fourth interna-
tional patent exhibition in Grand
Central palace. explained today how
she happened to contrive non-Skid
soap.
On her ninth birthday. she said.
she was taking bath when the
soap slid out OF her hand and
Skidded across the bathroom floor.
This made her quite angry. SO
she punched two holes in the soap.
pulled cord through them and
made loop. into which she could
insert her fingers. This not only
insured a firm grip, but made it
possible TO hang the soap up after
using.
The non-Skid soap became so
popular with other members OF the
family that Kathryn's father de-
cided to patent it. Now it is one
OF the interesting exhibits at the

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
STILL PUZZLES SCIENCE
Slight Progress Made Is Revealed
at Medical Session.

~ nftcd Press
NEW ORLEANS. May 12-The
control OF infantile paralysis. the
dreaded scourge that deforms and
cripples, still puzzles science, DR..
William L. Avcock OF the Harvard
infantile paralysis commission told
the American Medical Associa ton
here today.
Some progress has been made
toward mitigating the consequences
OF the disease. but little can he ac-
compished toward preventing it
until a method is found TO determine
which persons are susceptible to it,
Dr. Aycock said.
Most infantile paralysis is spread
by carriers, DR.. Aycock said ne had
learned.
These carriers do not suffer from
the disease themselves, but harbor
the organisms in their bodies and
communicate them to susceptible
persons" he continued
No means has been found to de-
termine either who these carriers
are or the persons susceptible to
the germs" DR.. Aycock said.

GIANT WITNESS
STIRS CHUCKLES
AT BOOZE TRIAL
Didn't Make Disturbance;
lust Tore Door Down,
SAYS Ex-Copper.

Peals OF laughter sounded in fed
eral court today as Ernest Newboy,
former Anderson policeman, testi-
fed for the government in the al
legged Anderson liquor conspiracy.
Even Judge Robert C. Baltzel
chuckled at Newby's testimony.
Newly. a 8 foot 3 inch giant.
testified that on one occasion he
was called to act as "bouncer" at
a meeting at which Mayor Jesse H.
(Hick) Mellett, one Of twenty eight
indicted by the federal grand jury
in the alleged conspiracy, "bawled
OUT the tax board.
Last Oct 6, Newly testified. he
was at the booze joint Of Raymond
tScabbye Ross. one Of the twelve
defendants in the case, and I got
pretty tight" he related to the jury,
under questioning of George r.
jeffrey, federal district attorney.

to come along. I got mad, but

Newly said he later learned that
Ross had turned in a complaint, and
Newly admitted he declared he was
going to tell all about Ross in
court.
Il told Ross to his face he said,
that he wasn't any good, that he
never was any good. and that If my
testimony would send him to the
penitentiary he sure would CO.
No, Not Any Disturbance
On another occasion, Newly re-
lated, he was drinking at the pool
room of Albert Abel, now on trial
L got sore" he said, and I
called the police myself and went
down to headquarters in the
wagon"
Attorneys wrangled over the iact
that Ross had not been arrested at
the time Newly was taken to Jail
after the gambling house episode.
and Joseph T. Markey, attorney for
Ross, attempted TO bring out that
the call to police was merely to
arrest Newly for destruction of
property.

key. that the police we're called on

NEW YORK, December 10.-Brokers

gree that would suggest higher prices.
