An actress, who lives In an old
house which has been converted into
apartments. was annoyed by blasting
and other construction activities in

she registered complaint with the
city authorities. One day stranger

he was an investigator and asked to
be taken around the apartment to see
whether any damage had been done
the walls. He looked inside and put
bis head through windows and looked
outside. The thing appeared to strike
him as pretty serious. Finally he asked
the actress to go into another room
and pound on the wall. She pounded
to the best of her ability. Then she
went to see what the investigator
thought about it. She couldn't find
him. Neither could she find her jewel
ry or other valuables Then she called
the police. They told her she was the
victim of not uncommon racket. The
thief merely had assumed THAI per-

l. Gentlemen always walk on the
outside when accompanying lady,
that is, the side nearest the street.
This custom originated from the
days of early chivalry when there
was need for protection 1t was sup.

approach the fair lady from the
street side and that she would he

man was there to meet them first.
2. A gentleman always precedes
lady down the aisle OF public
building unless an usher precedes
them both. This custom also orig

place might hold lurking hazards
of one kind or another, things to
trip over, people who would not be
gracious, etc, and the gentlemen
always went first therefore to make
certain that the way was safe for
his lady.
= 3. Gentlemen take off their hats
when meeting lady they know or
when lady with whom they are
walking speaks to anyone she
knows. This custom originated in
the days before the custom of
handshaking came into being. The
only form of greeting was some
form of salute Taking off the hat

BY BEN STERN

IF it is domination of the states
- highway construction program
which the Governors social lobby
is attempting, then evidently it has
achieved more success than did
d. G. Stephenson when he at
tempted to put through the iniqui-
tous ripper bill"
When Governor Leslie returned
from his last fishing trip with Dolly
Gray, manager of the American
Aggregates Company, and Fred
Cunningham, highway contractor,
he had list of seven men sched-
uled for dismissal.
Three had been under fire for
some time, so there was no oppoSl-
ton from the highway commission
members when Omer Manlove, head
Of the garage; Owen Boiling, secrT-
tary and aid to the director, and
Russell Gardner, purchasing agent,
were dismissed.
But there was opposition when
pressure was put against P. d. Me
schneider, laboratory chief; Earl B.
Lockridge. district engineer at La
Porte; A. o. Hastings, district engi-
neer at Greenfield, and Russell Boz
sart, aid to Maintenance Engineer
Hinkle.
Despite efforts of Gray and his
friends the four are still on the pay
roll.
Lockridge is the engineer in the
district where the Logansport plant
of the American Aggregates Com
pany is located. It is said that he
favors crushed stone over aggre-
gates as a road component which
hits Dolly in the pocketbook. 1t is
also reported that on several occa-
sions he has crossed Gray's path re-
garding specifications.
Hastings district includes Indian
auons and Richmond, where the
other two plants of the company
are located. An avowed black top
having aCvo-ate, his activities nat
urally would be disliked by Gray.
Miesenhelder'S record for eff
cheney as laboratory chief is such
that Commissioners Arthur Sapp
and Robert Boren Immediately
came to his aid The reports are
that Miesenhelder would grant no
favcrs to Gray or his company.
They also say that an attempt
was made to have Miesenhelder in
clude in the specifications stipula-
tons that gravel pits in operation
less than one year shall be barred
from bidding This would take out
or the picture the gravel pits put in
operation along proposed road
routes, whose prices for the aggre-
gates are often less than those of
the old companies.
Miesenhelder refused to accede to

this demand, it is said, so he was

Between Gray and the cement
group on the one side and Otto
