CHICAGO, Aug. "a (UP)-Three
hundred thousand jitterbugs truck
ed over to Soldier Field last night
for the jammiest session ever JAM
med and ended up truckin' unre-
strained with every available po-
liceman in the city.
For three hours the throng shag-
ged, shouted and whooped to the
"sending" of Tommy Dorsey, Abe
Lyman, Earl (Father) Hines and
Bob Roberts and their bands. The
show was a mammoth free jam SeS-
sion for devotees of swing under
the sponsorship of the Chicago new
Century committee and the Chi
cago Times.
For a time it appeared that it
would end in a riot Emergency
calls sent to every district police
station for aid said it was a riot.
But after the police-650 patrolmen
and so detectives-had guided the
fans into the groove" it turned
out to be the greatest mass swing"
show in history.

Guards Accused
In Roast Death
Of -Four ConviCts

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "a CUP)
Two Philadelphia county prison
guards were arrested today on
charges of homicide in connection
with the "roatsing alive" of four
convicts who led a munger strike.
The guards, Alfred Brough and
Francis Smith, were taken to the
city hall. They will be arraigned
before Magistrate Nathan A. Beifel
later.
The arrests followed charges by
Coroner Charles H. Hersch that
the four prisoners died from the
effects of an apparent steam scald-
ing which probably would have
killed 10 other convicts confined in
the "Klondike" cells of the county
prison had they been left in the in
tense heat an hour longer.
The naked bodies of the four
convicts were turned over to rela-
tives so disfugured that the rela-
tives said they scarcely recognized
them.

Sprout Sprout, it seemed, was tickled
to death with the whole business.
He'd been egging those kids on and
handing 'em stories about gunfights
that the widest of the Wild West
mags wouldn't publish.
Well, sir, that gave me another idea.
I wrote to friend OF mine in New
York, which is where both Johnny
and Martha came from, and I had
my friend do some investigating. The
result of the investigation proved that
neither Martha nor Johnny had ever
sold a story.
This. I thought. was q hot one.
Here they were fighting like cats and
dogs and neither Of 'em had ever
sold a story. Well, I thought. here's
something. So got hold of Sprout
and poured forth and Sprout agreed
to do his bit.
So the next time We went on q
camping trip we arranged for it to
look like Martha was in danger
which reaction on Johnny was just
like we expected. He came galloping
to the rescue and you could tell by
the way those two looked at each
other that they didn't hate one an
other at all.
And right then Sprout and I came
out with our big idea. Perhaps, we
suggested, if they collaborated on one
Of these stories they might be able
to sell it. Two heads are better than
one, and so forth.
Johnny and Martha looked at each
other and it was plain that here was
a solution to their problem. They
could call of the feud without either
Of them losing face.
We watched with interest the re-
suit of that collaboration. Toward the
end Of the summer they finished up
the story they were writing and
shipped it airmail to a publisher with
a letter saying that the two authors
would share jointly in the proceeds
The publisher saw the humor Of the
thing and shipped the story back air
mail.

ever. Johnny was on the point Of
blaming Martha and Martha was on
the point of blaming Johnny. Likely
fireworks would have resulted. but for
the fact that the Rev. Samuel Poker
and his wife arrived at the ranch
about then for a short vacation, and
sight Of him gave Sprout an idea
which he suggested to Johnny and
Martha They thought it over and
once more saw solution to their
problem.
So Johnny and Martha Pleasant were
married there on the ranch, and all
can say is hope they have a pleas
ant summer next year-somewhere
else besides on the Welcome U.
(Copyrisht, 1880
Evening star., 1938-06-29
By Vic Yardman.


Now you'd think that two writer's
could get along. mean, you take a
couple Of ditch diggers or stock brok-
ers or carpenters or doctors-they' d
get along all right. But not writer's.
Not, at least, Johnny Summer and
Martha Pleasant.
Rivalry sprang up at once. You see,
there was one old codger on the ranch
named Sprout Simons, who had lived
during the frontier days. He had
dropping mustaches and q battered
old hat and q six-shooter with nine
notches cut in the handle. He talked
with drawl and at the drop Of a hat.
In fact, I've heard him talk when no
hats dropped at all.
Peter Rae-he owns the Welcome
U-kept Sprout on the pay roll to
provide what he called atmosphere.
Now, Sprout may have exuded this
so-called atmosphere in large and
plentiful quantities. I don't know, nor
care. But to us boys Sprout was just
q mangy, tiresome old wtndbag who
told a flock of lies about chasing In
dams and bad men and participating
tn cattle raids and narrow escapes.
But Peter must have known his
business, because the dudes flocked
around Sprout like he was passing out
$1,000 bills.
The day Martha Pleasant arrived
she heard about Sprout and looked
him up. After a half hour or so she
came back to the house and her eyes
were glowing. She acted like she'd dis
covered a placer deposit and staked
out million dollar claim for herself.
1t was the next day that Johnny
Summer landed at the ranch. An
hour after he got there Martha saw
him talking with Sprout, and the way
she acted you'd think Johnny had
muscled in on a business deal involv-
ing millions.
Well. sir, you never did see any,
thing like the way the two carried
on. They hated each other the way a
road-runner hates a rattler. They
watched each other like hawks. If
one of 'em so much as said Good
morning 10 SprouI, tne Otner q come
running up and demand to know what
Sprout had given out by way of a
story.
Then, when we'd all be sitting
around talking. Johnny would come
up and stand listening, and pretty
soon he'd reach into his pocket, pro-
duce pencil and paper and jot down a
note. Martha would fare up like a
mother hen and accuse him of cheat
ing.
II promoted this idea," she'd say.
ANY suggestions that result are
mine"
We'll, WELL" Johnny would answer
sarcastically, ARE ideas something
you buy these days, like eggs?"
The summer wore on and things be-
