Raleigh, May 22.-Notes on law
enforcement in North Carolina.
l. Literally thousands upon thous-
ands of slot machines, illegal on every
count prior to June Il and most of
them probably illegal thereafter, are
running full blast and in full view
all over the State. The attorney gen.
eral has ruled them illegal, but hard
ly a local official has moved to sup
press them.
g. A nudist colony is established,
repeatedly, in Davie county, SO far
off the highway that nobody can see
the colonists without going to undue
and unusual effort Forthwith and
Immediately the local officials 60
into perfect swivel of excitement,
wrath and indignation. The attorney
general has ruled the colony can be
abated as nuisance" and raids, at
tended with the proper fanfare of
publicity trumpets, are in prospects.
There's one big difference between
one and two-the slot pay high Ii
cense fees and, It's said, do bit of
fixing" or "palm-greasing" of local
officialdom. The nudists do not.
Latest reason why the wage-hour
law should be repealed, as revealed

1875 drivers last week, bringing total
North Carolina revocations to 22,O88.
Of the licenses revoked, drunken
driving accounted for 1875, with hit
run driving and larceny of an auto
mobile causing four each, while driv-
ing after revocation of license and
second offense of reckless driving
had one revokee each.

D0oDLEs MEAN CODES oFlMeNEY 2

Butler say with straight faces that even the most Insignificant doodle has deep psychological import.
 These 24-year-oid girls and their staff of 45-mostly college graduates with a yen for psychology-have a lot of fun reading doodles. They read 'em for 6 fee at night clubs and beauty parlors, and often are called in to entertain at private parties.
 Mostly, Dorothy and Jane just sit back and supervise from their studio On 72nd Street. After all, the Scribble Beading School has been going since last May, and there's plenty of ad- ministrative work to be done. Doodle readers must be trained and doodle experts in the field-there are branches in Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Boston must be supervised
 It's A Real Business
 Definitely, the science of doodle investigation is a going concern. Dorothy, who backs up her ability at doodle-decipheripg with a Sor- bonne. University of Madrid. and University Of Rome education, says the study is only in its infancy, She predicts an All-American future for doodle experts. Jane, a Cornell grad- uate, thinks likewise.
 Dorothy first decided to capital ize on doodles when she was hunt ing up entertainment ideas for the night clubs. Before that she'd writ ten features for Judge, where she started the Are You Sure?" quiz stunt. She also did little lyric and music writing for some musicals
 A student at heart. she turned to Freud and Jung, and straight way announced that their interpre- tation of symbols helped decipher doodles. She set up a formula for reading doodles, and teaches 1t to 1 her staff in series of lectures. O-FiIIers Are Affecti0nate

Take the O-ffller who fills in O's in the headlines The doodle reader says he's person of intense emotion and affection-other dood- ling would allow experts to read more of his character.
 The scribblings or George Brent Ca sample is picture6 show what the girls say is visionary idealism and dislike for conflict. He fol- lows an adaptive rather than resis- tant role toward others but is quiet ly stubborn if opposed by force-and he prefers lunches to detached logic and forethought.

tional vitality, intensity of emotion and dislike for obvious display of sentimentality. She is supposed to find emotional release in creative activity and to have deep sympathy for human weaknesses.
 They found that all that has been written on handwriting symbols couldn't give them what they needed to know to understand all doodles. So they analysed hundreds of scribble art pieces at random, then asked the doodler to tell about himself. They followed up with a statistical job on their findings-and think the whole business added lot to their doodle-reading knowledge.
