MIR. Harlan found out on q recent

a sort of wayside stand Of pumps
quite unlike the port-cochere arrange

in Washington.
As the ancient attendant filled the
tank, Mr.. Harlan calculated the exact
price of the fuel plus the 6 cents a
gallon tax.
You gave me TOO much" the
proprietor protested.
The Washington traveller defended
his mathematics. explaining the pro-
cedure in the smallest detail.
"Oh, the tax" the filling station
man said, "you should not have in

In going to the Chicago police for
information on the shooting Of Dill

Secret Service men went to the wrong
source, as no member Of the Chicago
police department was present when
Dillinger was trapped outside Chi
cago theater on the night Of July "a,
1894.
The only police accompanying the
G-men on that occasion were several
members OF the East Chicago, Ind,
force. 1t was to police sergeant OF
the Indiana town that the woman
in red" first gave her tip on the where
aboutS of Dillinger. The East Chicago,
Ind, officer referred her to the Chi
cago Office of the F. B. l., which ar
ranged the trap. The Chicago police
were not in the confidence OF the De-
aartment of Justice at that time and
knew nothing of the shooting Of Dill
1inger until the theater manager
phoned that 'hold-up" was taking
