The Wyandotte herald. (Wyandotte, Mich.) 1879-1943, 1938-09-16

Candor: A Long Island young
woman, extremely easy to look at,
on her way to the city became so
immersed in thought concerning q
very important event in her young
life that she forgot the speedometer.
As she neared the Greensboro
bridge a motorcycle cop came up
and waved her over to the curb with
the usual demand, where do you
think you're goin'?" The girl quick
ly replied that she was going after
her wedding gown. The cop took
out his book of tickets and the girl.
visioning delayed ceremony, in
formed him that the wedding was
to be the next morning. The officer
reflected moment, then put back
the book with the remark that he
was married and had a kid older
than she. Gratefully the girl drove
away only to have the same cop pull
up to her in the middle of the
bridge.
81 just wanted to let you know,
lady," he declared, 81 amt lettin'
you 60 cause you're good-lookin'."

Disaster: A young woman, a sol
itary passenger in one of the Times
annex elevators, lighted a cigarette
as the car started up. A few sec
onds later, the operator was sur
prised to hear her scream. Investi-
cation disclosed that her handbag
was afire. 1t seems that instead Of
throwing the lighted match away
she had put it into the bag. AS the
operator wore leather gloves he
beat out the flames without serious
consequences. But the young wom-
an had a considerable roll of bills
each of which was burned through
the center. And in her excitement
she forgot to tip the fire extin-
guisher.

Helpful: The second policeman
story in this series concerns an Of
ficer over in New Jersey. A woman
motorist was going too fast and he
gave her ticket with apologies for
being forced to do his duty. Then
he inquired what day would be most
convenient for her to appear in
court. On being informed that
Tuesday would prove the least
troublesome, he made out the sum-
mons for that day. Then he added
careful directions on how to get to
the courthouse. The woman showed
up at the appointed time and the
cop met her. When the Judge
asked her if she pleaded guilty or
not guilty, the cop whispered that IL
she pleaded guilty, the fine would be
less. She accepted the advice and
was fined $3.50. And that was $3.50
less than it would have cost her had
she been tried and found guilty.
Finale: Zane Grey was once a
