Their Backgrounds

IT is INTERESTING, think, to learn from Mr..
Mantle (unless you Learn it from the sub

Forestville N. Y, while his mother was visit

He figured that no airline would 60 very far

the per cent should be given to the customer

So into being came the scrip card, stamped
ANA. which entitled the user to is per cent dis
count on his ticket COSTS
The card was not given indiscriminately to
every itinerant traveller. but every company or
business house with a reputable credit rating was
approached.
The idea caught on fast. Hundreds of COM
mercial houses in the country deposited credit
with the airline and. where before there were one
or two employees who Travelled by air, soon there
were hundreds. other airlineS agreed to recog
nize the ANA cards and put out their own.

Three or four years ago the
airlines used to employ an anti
quated hit-and-miSs method of
ticket selling. They rarely
made any business on that
basis. Too many ticket sellers
failed to keep abreast of sched-

drumming up business for

Chicanery and Thugsery

THE OTHER textbook is Charles E. Stills
= styles in Crime" and If Mr.. Still had not
been so careless as to incorporate his historical
findings into this fascinating volume, but had
made the results of his research available to
writing persons like myself, readers of this de-
partment would have been treated to tales of
chicanery and outand-out thuggery of past and
present Manhattan for month or two Of snappy
columns.
Mr.. Still discusses instances of blackmail and
graft, murder and kdnap, escapes and captures,
prison and the deathhouse. We have our vague
memories revived as he tells how Charles P.
Morton, Of Cincinnati, helped to end the badger
game; how Abe Hummel was sent to Blackwells
Island; how the murder of Joseph B. Elwell,
bridge expert, was never solved. The names and
the cases of the fighting district attorney, Will
liam Travers Jerome, John McGurk and his
suicide hall on the Bowery, the theft Of Merchant
A. T. Stewards body, Steve Brodie, the sawdust
game, the tenderloin, the Haymarket Dance Hall,
notorious gangs like the Whyo, the Fly Boys and
Smit'S Wy are blended into colorful chronicle
Of what was wicked in old New York. Nor does

Hines, Hauptmann and Ruth Snyder and Judd

Our old man had a fight one night in the
Turf Exchange gambling house with a fellow
who was squawking about preacher who was
bawlng out the open gambling in our old home

right because open gambling was against public
morals and it was the preachers job to hop on
anything opposed to public morals.

Mr.. Johnnie O. Public and his family are absorbed
by American Airlnes where the scrip card used
is an ANA card.
Other airlines however, woefully lacking in
understanding of public relations, public psy
chology and merchandising wrinkles, even though
being flyingwiSe, discovered that their own scrip
card systems were not doing so we'll.
First one, then two, then several complained
that the idea was not as good as first imagined.
That instead of bringing them business, its book
keeping cost lost them more money than other
ANA scrip-holding passengers brought in the way
of revenue.
Fired further by jealousy at the obvious success
of the ANA scrip card, properly merchandised,
and the failure of their own, many Of the major
airlines recently voted among themselves to re-
quest the newlycreated Civil Aeronautics Au-
thorty to cancel all such cards and return to the
old hitand-miss scheme.
First-Hand Experience
THIS writer for one is admittedly steady air
L traveller. Possibly his observations may be
more than heartfelt. But it seems that the pro
posal is not only foolish, but also downright poor
business merchandising.
Fifty per cent of this writer's air travel in the
last IL months on an ANA scrip card has brought
revenue to an Eastern Seaboard opposition
airline. But it is safe for him to say that there
were many times when he hadn't the cash price
of plane seat in his pocket when he climbed
aboard It is safe to say that if air travellers of
the future must carry around cash in their
pockets for the airline, the airlines can count on
losing customers in hurry

Like Struggling Editors

Like 0tTuggLIng E0C0rS
OUR OLD MAN said that if he had a great
" raft of money he would endow preachers
everywhere with annuities so they would be sure
of good living and be independent of everybody
and they could always go out and say what they
pleased.
He said preachers were often like struggling
editors who might want to say lot of things
but were deferred by reasons of business policy.
He said sometimes preacher might want to
blow the roof off something but would be
restrained by the thought that it would let the
rain in on some important parshioner.
Our old man said his annuities would eliminate
economic fear from the minds of the preachers
and enable them to go betting right and left
through the land and thus improve our spiritual
and mundane conditions everywhere. OF course
our old man never got any farther with his plan
than just thinking of it.

MIR. ROOSEVELT seems likely
IVA to lose control of the all
powerful House Ways and
Means Committee as another re-
suit of the purge.
Six members Of that guiding
committee have been knocked
off in the primaries or other
wise. Five of them are his Dem
ocratic friends (Davey Lewis,
Otha Wearin, Sanders of Texas.
Vinson of Kentucky, Fuller of
Arkansas).
Their successors will be-
elected by Democratic caucus,
and, with things as they are,
coat-tail clutchers are not as
sured of priority.
The matter is Of tremendous
technical Importance, as the
w. A. M. Committee designates
members of all other House COM
mittees. AS everyone now
knows. legislation is written by
committees and not on the floor.

Harrison, speaking extemporane-
ously. Il don't agree with my
wife on everything; and of
course I catch the devil when I
don't. I do not believe in au-
donations in politics and I will
never be one. AS long as have
a place of authority, I owe it
to my people to give them the
benefit of my judgment and
counsel"

ment of expenditures, broaden
ing of social security to take
people off relief, and purging Of
relief rolls C'you know and I
know there are thousands on
WPA rolls that have no business
