Nothing in Return

Most Of them, Of course, give
nothing in return for what they
receive. Others press objects Of
every description in ones hands
as they are tossed coins. You
might think that the latter class
cannot be termed beggars. They
are. The only difference between
the two distinctive types is that
the latter is being a trifle more
polite in plying his profession.
To be quite frank, 7 hadn't
given the foreign beggar very
much thought until the subject
arose earlier this evening. When
I was approached 7 would toss
the unfortunate a coin, il 7 felt
in the mood. # not, I would
humble a hasty "scram" and
continue on my way.
But the longer this evenings
conversation lasted, the more I
wondered about such people.
7 spoke to my two companions.
'"Tell me something, gentle
men," 7 said. "Back home in
New York we have just as many
If not more-beggars than any
city in the entire world. Most
Of those birds, though, are pan
handlers. They wouldn't work
a day if they could help them
selves,
The Washington times., 1933-04-24
Good Deed Done

I handed the bird a dollar,
shook his hand and wished him
well. And I left him, feeling
happy that I had been able to
assist a man in need.
Some two weeks later, while
strolling through the Grand
Central Station, a man stepped
up to me from out of the
crowd. A man with no glasses
and a black mustache.
Mister" he said, "this is en-
tirely foreign to me. I'm a
newspaper man from Chicago
and I'm stranded. I don't
know"
That was enough for me. I
recognized the voice and the
eyes. He had moved his news
paper from Buffalo to Chicago,
but he was still doing business
along the same old lines.

Pulitzer Film Prize

Major Albert Warner is the lat

Carl w. Ackerman, of the Colum-

forth that Hollywood production

merit to be worthy of considera-

excused of trying to pull chestnuts

Some PitifuI Sights

"Since I've left there, I've
run across some pitiful sights.
I've been besieged at every turn
by beggars of every description.
In your opinion, do either of
you think that begging is a
necessity in many cases, or is
it a racket being worked the
world over?"
One Of my acquaintances
spoke. It was his belief, he re-
piled, that in most cases it was
nothing more or less than a
means whereby money is OBJ,
tanned In the easiest manner
possible. Most beggarS, he
went on to say are panhandlers.
"Of course" he added, "there
are exceptions. 7. myself, have
come in contact with alms-Seek-
ers who were really deserving.
The difficulty with the entire
thing, though, lies in the fact
that one cannot tell the deserv-
ing from the undeserving.'
We both agreed with the
speaker, and soon we were
swapping stories Of experiences
with beggars.
Now, my favorite yarn along
these lines concerns the mug
who approached me one night
some two years ago. I was
standing on the corner Of
Forty-sixth Street and Broad
way in New York. A young
chap with glasses came up to
me.
Mister" he said, "this in en-
tirely foreign to me. I'm a
newspaper man from Buffalo
and I'm stranded. don't know
if you know any newspaper
men, but most of us are regu-
lar. Let me have a dollar and
your card. And I swear that
you'll have your money as soon
as I get back to Buffalo,"

Of the World
Bv MARK HELLINCER

That was one experience with
a panhandler that stands out
clearly in my mind. But to
me, the classic of all is one of
the many heard this evening.
I'm willing to bet that 1t will
hand you a laugh.
A little, old Hindu had been
begging along the streets of
Calcutta for many months. Be-
cause he was to be seen in the
same spot every day he became
a familiar sight to those in
the neighborhood.
Beggar Is Blind
According to the small sign
that he always carried, he was
blind. And because people the
world over have more pity for
a blind person than they have
for an individual with any
other affliction, the man man.
aged to make out very well, in
deed.
One day Blind George-just to
give him a name Of some sort
became abusive to a passerby.
The offended one complained
to a policeman and the beggar
was promptly whisked to the
station house.
There, so the story goes, the
officer in charge took Blind
George aside. He spoke to him
in the native tongue along the
following lines:
Listen, George, you're not
blind. You know it and so do
we. Just as long as you be-
haved yourself, though, we
never bothered you. However,
there have been complaints
about you latly-far too many
to suit us.
GAS a result, George, you're
through. You'll have to cut
out the begging game from now
on. Now, beat it"
George disappeared for the
time being.
About three weeks ago, Blind
George turned UP again. Stand
ing on a street corner in an
other part of the city he was
still begging. But he had a new
sign. Translated, it read:
Practically
