New York, Dec. 26-Not long ago I
went backstage at "The Follies" to
interview Miss Gypsy Rose Lee, the
strip artist, in connection with news
papar-scrlbbling chore for another
place.
When Gypsy was set upon along
with her gentleman friend and escort,
at the entrance to her apartment and
robbed of $4,000 in jewels, there
were many raised eyebrows and snick
ers. Was this just another publicity
stunt in the ancient actress-and-her-
stoled gems motif? The Broadway
boys were skeptical and so, at first,
were the police.
But my grapevine had assured me
that the detectives at headquarters
were convinced Gypsy had been rob-
bed in thoroughgoing and bona mide
manner What I wanted was not so
much to convince myself that this
was so as to dicover if possible what
attitude the police were taking toward
victims of an epidemic of similar
holdups now sweeping the town
Miss Lee told me that the authori-
ties were doing everything possible
to prevent a recurrence, for thieves
have a habit of going for easy marks
again and again. Unlike the grand
DANES of society, respectable strip
tease artist would never stoop-to be-
decking herself with paste limitations
and the underworld knows this.
Indeed, the police were watching
Miss Lee SO closely, she said, that the
surveillance was becoming a nuts
ance. She couldn't take a spin after
the theatre in her limousine without
being followed by a car full of de-
tarmined men. If she walked out with
her Cog a pair of sheep;sh young

Raleigh, Dec 24-The State School
Commission has written all builders
of school bus bodies in the State, also
all of the manufacturers of automo-
bile chassis, asking them to submit
suggestions to the commission as to
how the strength of the school bus
bodies, especially the impact resist
ance, can be increased, Executive
Secretary Lloyd Griffin said today.
they have been asked to get their re-
plies to the commission by January 6,
so that they can be presented to the
meeting of the commission for jan
uary 8, at which time they will be dis
cussed
"The commission for years has been
doing everything possible, within the
Limitations of the appropriation for
schools, to provide safer and safer
school buses Griffin said. 1--WE have
the most rigid specification with re-
gard to school bus bodies and are
credited with having developed the
safer reinforced wooden bodies that
are butt. Under our present specifi-
cations, every school bus body that
has been purchased in recent years
has been reinforced with 1900 pounds
of reinforcing steel. The result is that
our wooden school bus bodies, rein
forced with steel, are safer than many
of the so-called all-steel bidies yet
they cost about $500 each less than
the all-steel bus bodies"
These letters have also asked the
body builders and automobile chas-
SIS manufacturers to submit esti-
mates on all-steel bodies, if they can
provide the steel bodies at anything
near the present cost of the steel rein
forced wooded bodies.
At the present time, the only all
steel bodies for school buses are built
in other states and would cost from
$500 to $3.50 more than the reinforced
wooden bodies, Griffin said There is
a pos-ibil ty, however that body build
ers here in the State might be able
to design and build all-steel bodies
that would not cost so very much
more than wooden bodies, Griffin said
The replies to these letters are ex-
pected to reveal what the body build
ers here in the Stat. will be able to do
towards building all-steel bodies.

HENDERSON's OFFICIAL TREE.
New Bern Sun-Journel.D

(NeW Bern SUM- Ourncl ID
That referendum conducted by the
Henderson Garden Club has resulted
in the selection of the willow oak,
also called pin oak and water oak,
as the official Henderson tree. Resi-
dents of that city voted in ballot boxes
placed in public places and the total
vote was said TO be very creditable.
Second choice as a shade tree went
to the maple. First choice as an or
namental, Towering tree went to the
dogwood and second place to the
crepe myrtle. Other trees which re-
ceived votes were the magnolia
minosa, cedar, long-leaf pine, elm
lauraceal unbrilla, pecan, living
Christmas tree, red oak, sweet gum
red bud, and there was one for the
banana tree.
Now that tlee has been chosen,
says the Henderson Garden club, en-
phasis will he asked for the willow
oak wherever a planting scheme is
started. Property owners will be ask
ed to protect the trees already crow
ing, and there are many willow oaks
in the city. Plans are being made to
secure a supply of the trees in order
that they may be available to prop
erty owners for new paintings.
That, it would seem, is a distinct
service in adding to the beauty Of the
city. Beauty Of streets, and of any
city itself, depends in very large
measure upon uniform planting OF
shade trees and Towering trees
wherever their planting is possible
Too many cities try to establish q re-
putation for municipal beauty with
out such uniform plan.
