The last Of the outstanding
pioneers in air transport lines
has finally succumbed to the
merger microbe, and the form
erly proud Ludington Line is
now but the Ludington division
of the Eastern Air Transport
System, which, in turn, is a
division of the North American
AviationS. Inc. Retrospect
shows many laurels connected
with the old Ludington Line,
for many are the records which
it's operation made . But rec
ords do not pay operating costs
and without an air mail con-
tract, the revenue from the eX-
press and passengers carried
was far from sufficient to
withstand the assaults of de-

the line and their early asso-
ciates will live long in the
memory of those who know of
their game struggle since the
inception of the line and will
honor their effort to place
Washington at the head of the

Housewives Who Voice Concern Over lust
What Shade Their Tomatoes Are Can
Now Be Assured of Answer

Did you know that certain
manufacturers test. potato chips
before putting them on the mar.
ket, in order to make sure that
they are Of uniform color?
That is one Of the many uses Of
a complicated apparatus for de-
termining the exact color Of any
object, invented and developed by
experts of the Department Of
Agriculture.
AS utilized in the department,
the machine classifies the precise
shades Of various farm products,
in order that the Government may
set standards for raw cotton, vege-
tables used in canning, fruits in
tended for Jams and jellies, etc.
Has Varied Uses
But outside of the Federal Of
ficeS, the device plays many
strange roles.
For instance, manufacturers of
canned tomato soup, in order to
assure uniform color Of the fin
ished product from year to year,
test the tints Of raw tomatoes
sold to them by farmers.
Eggs are sorted into two classes,
brown and white, before being
placed before the public. Not
that the color on the outside has
anything to do with the quality

to rage today over the attitude
of Gov. James Rolph of Cali
fornia in approving the San Jose
lynching of Thomas Thurmond
and Jack Holmes kidnapers and
murdererS of Brooke Hart, "a, as
"a good job"
Under the barrage of comment
and despite the many verbal barbS
of criticism from within and with
out the State, Governor Rolph
stoutly maintained his position
by declaring:
1--WE have set an example for
the nation and woe to kid
naperS in the future-we won't
wait SO long next time"
A legislative move was launched
to make the death sentence man
datory for every kidnapping Of
fense in California. Assemblyman
Roy j. Nielsen said that as a
result Of the Hart kidnapping he
would submit a bill to the next
legislature to tighten the States
kidnapping laws.
Governor Rolph meanwhile con-
tinued to receive a flood of tele-
grams from all parts of the
United States, with messages OF
praise for his stand out number
ing those of criticism.

Big Commerce
Building Gets
New Name

wags in the Department Of
Commerce have a new name

They are now calling it "The

Reason for the nickname has
nothing to do with those tus-
sles over NRA codes that so
closely resemble the haggling
that takes place when you hook
the family silver.
Basis for "The PawnShop" is
the fact that ornamental lights
on the Fourteenth Street front
are grouped in threes, much
like the traditional three balls
of Uncle Bennie's emporium.

The laxative habit can be

The wrong laxative can give

him a violent cathartic.

Doctors urge the use of a
