There is only one package of
Christmas seals in the storeroom
at the Indianapolis Railways,
where Maurice Bigane for six
years has been monitor of lost
articles. Most Christmas seasons
find plenty of Christmas pack
ages waiting to be claimed.
But there are several more days
before Christmas, and we prob
ably will have our troubles before
then" Mr.. Bigane said today.
In his years of experience, he
has come to realize that there is
much truth to the statement that
some people would forget their
heads if they we're not fastened
to them" For the forgotten pack
ages which are turned in include
practically every article which is
manufactured for human use.
MIR. BIGANE has returned
N1 one mans lunch box to
him more than half dozen times.
Sometimes he leaves it on his
way to work, with his lunch still
in it," he said today. Then I
have to take the lunch out, clean
the box and put it away till he
calls for it. Other times he
leaves it on the street car on his
return home, and there's nothing
in it but few crumbs"
Once Mr.. Bigane heard of a
woman who forgot her baby, and
left it sitting on the seat in the
street car when she alighted.
But she didn't forget the baby
long enough for it to be brought

here he explained. She ran
after the car, and got the baby
back right away"
That was a break for Mr.. BIZ
game, for he really hasn't any &C
commodations for lost babies.
They can't be tagged and placed
in a drawer until called for"
Many lost articles can, now
ever, and because umbrellas are
the least-remembered articles,
they make the store-room look
like the answer to the admonition
to prepare for a rainy day."
THERE are umbrellas of every
l. description there. The most
interesting experience Mr.. Bigane
had with an umbrella was when
a car operator turned one in with
the name of a prominent Indi-
annapolis man engraved on the
handle.
Il called him and told him that
his lost umbrella was here" Mr..
Bigane said. He seemed sur
prised, and said he didn't renem-
Der losing it. Later he called and
when he saw the umbrella, ex-
planned that it was one which
had been presented to him about
20 years before. He had lost it
shortly afterward, and had for
gotten about it,
Then there is an old man who
has called for umbrellas left on
street cars about 10 different
times. Sometimes he has had
one returned, and other times has
been unable to identify the lost
umbrella. Finally, Mr.. Bigane
became suspicious and questioned
him.
We'll, I didn't really lose an
umbrella the old fellow answer
ed, But it was raining, and 1
needed one, and I knew you had
lot turned in here. So I thought
maybe you would give me one
anyway"
School children leave their books
on the street cars and buses.
Sometimes Mr.. Bigane wonders
if this provides them with a good
excuse not to get home lessons.
once in while there are
~ efforts made to claim ar
ticles by persons who have seen
them found on street cars and
turned in to operators. A Negro
man told his wife of seeing a
SO bill found on the street car,
and she called and said her nus
band had lost it, Mr.. Bigane
remembered.
Our investigation showed that
two women had seen an old wom-
an drop what appeared to be a
handkerchief. Being curious
you know, most women are-they
picked it up, and found the bill
tied up in the handkerchief" Mr..
Bigane said. They explained
that to the car operator when
they gave him the lost bill. SO we
refused to turn it over to the Ne
gro man. and later The old wom-
an called for"
The articles are kept for year,
if uncalled for, and then sold at
auction. Seldom are there any
articles of any value uncalled for.
Mr.. Bigane says. The last sale
was in October. In the short
time since then. the storeroom
has become well supplied again
with forgotten articles.
MIR. Bigane is strong for lot
of people taking a memory course.
Only they probably would for
get their text books and leave
them on the street car" he says,
with sigh.

Russia. Anyway Matt Windsor has
planned a very special floor show
for Christmas week that will Gre
ate q real Russian spirit at this
time of the year.
OF course most of the present
talk around the Child's Gingham
Club concerns the big Christmas
dinner that will be served in this
spot. Everyone knows the quail
ity of food served at this after
dark spot and that alone should
lure you to partake a bit of their
turkey. But until then a worth
while floor show is prevalent
which includes as headliners Di-
anne and Eddie Powell in ball
room and acrobatic routines and
Toma Genaro, we'll known Spanish
dancer. Phil Lynch supplies the
music with Mary 10 Hamilton
singing.
The Hangar Club floor show is
really a swinging proposition. No
club in town has had as many
dancing stars at one time. And
when these sepia stars sing they
have so much feeling in their
voices that they make you want
to swing. The floor show acts are
Gypsy West, Sid Sisko, Myrtle
Wilson, Jimmy Young and the
Rhythm Twins. Duke Eglan and
his hand supply the music with
the last show going on around 3
a. m. This is truly a late spot.

After a week of intensive plan
ming, everything is all set for the
big Christmas party Tuesday
night at Heigh-Ho, one of Santa
Claus assistants from Dwarf
Land has wired his acceptance to
be on hand in behalf of the poor
children of Washington. You are
supposed to bring toy so that
some of the unfortunate kiddieS
in town will have a happy Christ
mas. Buddy will see that it gets a
home.
Johnny Barnes is setting some
thing of a record over at the
popular Madrillon Restaurant.
This tap dancer has been there
five weeks and is still gong
strong, Valencia and Romero,
pair of talented dancers, are also
in the show as is Girschon Kauf-
man and his toy flute. Leon Bru-

Then he would just have to find food.
Day by day he grew thinner. Pretty
soon there was little to choose be-
tween Johnny and Peter Rabbit. SO
far as fatnesS was concerned.
And Johnny was getting to move
about fast. He wasn't quite as fast
as Peter, but he was fast. Yes, sir;
he was fast, very fast, for one with
legs no longer than his. And. finding
that he could get about so easily and
fast. Johnny went adventuring. That
is, he wandered a long way from
home partly in quest of food, partly
because he wanted to explore, and
partly because something inside
wouldn't let him keep still.
Now for a Woodchuck to leave home
at any time is always an adventure
even though he goes but little way
To go wandering, as Johnny was now
doing, was a very great adventure
Half the time, yes, most OF the time
he knew of no safe retreat in case he
should meet Reddy Fox or Old Man
Coyote or a Dog, and there always
was the chance that ~ might meet
one or the other. He would just have
to depend on his wits at the time, his
wits and his courage.
His first adventure came when he
and Peter Rabbit happened to be
together. Perhaps they hadn't been
watching as they should have been
Perhaps they were gossiping too much
Anyway. a strange Dog was almost
on them before either saw him. 1t
