Worlds Fair or bust. And by goat.wagon, too. That's the plan of Charlie McCartny, 4O of Iowa who made quite hit at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago when he landed at it's gates in horse. % his Iowa farm to Chicago in this fashion. Using goat team of 16 animals he figures 100 days to get to when he gets there depends to some extent, on how the Fair officials treat him. Out in Chicago, he boasts he got $1OO a month, feed for his horses, and was allowed to sell picture postcards.

 That's how the new Cleveland police radio system is expected 10 work as final touches are placed on a complete reorganization of the force whose basic patrol work will all be carried on in automobiles, each itself a broadcasting station, licensed by the Federal Conlmufli- cations Commission, and each able to carry on two-way conversations with headquarters at all times. ONE-MINUTE
 SERVICE
 The old-time precinct station Is on it's way out in Cleveland. Half of them are to be eliminated and the others will be scarcely recogntz- able as the neighborhood fixture where a dozen policemen always lounged waiting for something to happen.
 Radio isn't new in police work, but Cleveland is now launching the most elaborate system of radio po- lice work ever put forward. Techni- cal progress in radio within the past four years has made 1t possi- ble to assign many new permanent channels to police work.
 When the new system is in oper- ation, no person in greater Cleve- land will at any time be more than one minute away from 9 moving police car containing three or four men. ,.,,
 A telephoned complaint or report of emergency to police will bring Q quick reference at headquarters to Q huge light-studded map, where the patrol territory of each cruiser and its position almost minute by minute is shown. A radiophone or- der turns the nearest car in the direction where help is wanted. If the person making the complaint is composed and able to help, his call can by @ flick of the central oper- ator's wrist be switched to the men in the car speeding to help him. PASSING OF
 THE "FLATF00T"
 That is the basic patrol protec- ton of the city, not mere adjunct in emergencies. About i60 cars will give police an auto to every 10 men, and an auto to every 1-2 men on duty at any one time.
 Eliot Ness, former G-man and now Safety Director of Cleveland, tells why the old-fashioned precinct station and the "flatfoot" on the beat are on the way out.
 '"The old precinct setup goes back to the days of the night watch" |" says Ness. Tt was effective when established, as the precinct stations were usually placed at geographical distances designed to make 1t easy for neighborhood people to walk to 1t and report disturbances. The beat man got to know neighbor- hood people and activities, and so he was effective.
 "But with the coming of the auto, neighborhood life broke up. Young folks go clear across town for Q dance. A burglar comes from an- other neighborhood, or another town, does his work and Is gone, The old advantage of the foot pa- trolman in knowing the neighbor- hood dwindled.
 "The automobile came to help the criminal and hinder police. But the telephone and new communica- tions come to help police. Our aim is to put our patrol on wheels, give them superior communications, and make them able to render real 'watchman service again.

 CoTespOndentl Wage-Hour Sideli ts

Washington, oct. 26 - One erl- ployer asked officials for blanket ex- emption of his 17O female employees from the wage-hour act on the ground that they were handicap ped.
 They're all crazy" he insisted.
 The employees turned out to be-, elderly colored women engaged In sorting rags. New regulations re- quire that applications for exemp- ton of handicapped workers from the 25-cent minimum wage must
 be signed by both employer and emplOye, state the extent of ham
 dlicap and assert that 1t definitely impairs earning power.
 The Wage and Hour Division is glad to leave to the employer the problem of persuading ITO elder iy colored women to sign a state- ment that they shouldn't get more money because they're crazy. JOB LOSS
 SEEN
 If statements made by employers in some of the many letters re- ceived by Administrator Elmer F. Andrews are to be believed, quite a few unfortunates will lose their jobs when the act is applied.
 Especially marked for discharge, apparently, are workers alleged by their employers to be too slow to earn 25 cents an hour. Andrews has ruled that no handicap exemp- ton certificates will be issued for worker because he is shown to be "slow" or inexperienced" Probably the danger of wide-
 spread hardship has been lessend by Q last minute clarification of previous rules which permits ex-- emption of handicapped workers
 until February, subject to sevral cOnditiOns-such as an employers honest belief that earning capa-
 city is substantially impaired by
 age, mental or physical deficiency
 or injury. Applications for ex-
 emptiOn, which must bear ern-
 pIoyes' signatures, need not be
 filed before December if these
 conditions are met meanwhile. A Pennsylvania cigar manufacturer writes that i2 of his 22 employees just "cant make more than 9 cents an hour" and that he will have to let them go. Another sends @ long list of women between 34 and 63 years old who cannot under any circumstances make the minimum wage because they are too slow" These stories come frequently from makers of two-for-ave or three-for- five cent cigars.

about $1,000 per man to send the nine
members of its Walker Cup squad
over to defend the trophy at st. An
drews. Scotland, June 3-4.
But in spite of that outlay. it's
strictly an amateur venture. The as

met and the eight players who will
accompany him on the jaunt that
starts from New York at midnight.

want to make any side trips or run
up any extraordinary bills, that's their
own lookout.
Steamship Fares Tilt Total.
For example, Marvin (Bud) Ward
OF Olympia. Wash, has been here sew
eral days practicing on the Garden
City course on Long Island. He'll be
repaid for his railroad fare, Pullman
accommodations and S. a day trav-
cling expenses, but while he's here he
has to pay his own keep until the
team assemblies.
Likewise the players must pay their
own $40 entry fees for the British
amateur championship in which they
all will play. It starts May 70 ut

Railroad and steamship fares ac-
count for q large part of the $4,000
total. In addition to first class pas
sage on the Bremen going over and
