Was smoking my cigar in a
bus one evening this week, when
a lady got on the vehicle. She
presented a transfer to the driv-
er who glanced at it and said:
"This transfer has expired la
dy." Giving me a sort of a mean
glance, she said: "Well, no Won
der, with the air so bad in here"
Noted next time | rode the same
bus that the "no-smoking" sign
which had been covered up with
an advertising card, was plainly
visible.
Vernon Christman, that big
hearty, smiling fellow, who held
forth at Buckeye Lake park, as
Brownies" right hand man for
several years, is gone. He's ta-
ken on another jOb-but we sur
mise that his friendly presence
will be missed by many visitors
who had business at the park Of
flee. Good luck "Chris."
Note where City Solicitor
Holtsberry, who prosecutes cas-
es in the municipal court, should
be assured of a preponderance
of convictions-his wife's name
was drawn in common pleas
court and added to the munich
pal court jury for duty.
Seems to be slight similari-
ty between "ScattergOOd Baine"
of story and radio fame, and
Link Russell, familiar figure in
Newark legal circles. 1t seems
that Link attended the Willkie
fanfare at ElwOOd last Saturday
in company with Judge Charles
w. Montgomery, Charles Sinsa-
baugh, Fred Sinsabaugh and
Little Cesar" Diehl. Besides
entertaining the boys with his
homely philosophy, he, (even as
ScattergOOd) it is alleged, re-
moved his shoes and wriggled
his toes in the Indiana grass, to
relieve his tired digits.

There is no doubt but what the
members of the press need it
but it took Clint Conner, presi-
dent of council, to remember
them to the Diety. For the first
time in many moons, the sway

blessed in the opening prayer at
the council meeting Monday
night.

 Commissioner Connor explained today that he did not want to dis courage enthusiasm or interfere with manufacturing initiative and that plates which did not interfere wiSh easy Identification of registra- tion numbers would be allowed.
 Approval Necessary
 The letter stated that while the department has always forbidden the use of advertising plates, cym- bols, etc, attached to the official number plate of fixture, the com missioner will consider plates which you may have in mind for distribu- ton to motorists. If these plates are so constructed that they can be fastened securely to the fixture so as not to obstruct the easy identifi- cation of the registration number, he will approve them"
 The commissioner said that this means such plates must be brought to his office for approval, and if approved, police authorities will be notified to allow them.

JAPAN DEMANDS BRITISH ZONES
American Marines Already in Possession of Them
 at Shanghai
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent) Shanghai, Aug. 16-(UP)-A Jap anese naval spokesman said today that Japan would demand that the former British defense sectors in the International Settlement be turned over to Japanese control. The ir- ternational defense commission al- ready has given control of the sec- tors to the United States marines. The spokesman. said that Japan would make the demand "as a mat ter of course. and indicated that any arrangement for control of the areas which did not have Japanese consent was impractical" Other naval authorities had said that the marines control was tentative and indefinite.
 Japanese opposition to the plar drawn up by the defense commis- sion and approved by the Shanghai municipal council threatened to widen dispute between Japanese and American authorities over the bitterly contested China "open door, policy.
 The international defense com- mission had decided yesterday that the former British areas should be controlled by the marines. The areas include homes and off1ces of a num- Der of Americans who have been threatened by agents of the Japan ese-sponsored National Govern ment of China" in Nanking.
 Vice Admiral Moriji Takeda, the Japanese naval commander, will convene the Settlement defense council as many times as he. deems necessary until the British and Americans understand "the. realities of the present status of the Settle ment," it was said.
 The Japanese had contended that since the British are withdrawing their troops. only the Japanese forces here were large enough tt maintain order in the Settlement
 Qn Tokyo. an informed quarter said that Japan might reject tht defense commissions decision. Yaki' chiro Suna, foreign office spokes' man, said he had no official infor. nation that the marines were talk. ing over the former British sectors but added if such a move was un. der way 'it is not likely to be real. ized."l

NEW ENGLAND IN
 MOCK BATTLES I
43rd, 26th Divisions Are Engaged Today; 5O,OOO
 Troops Battle

With first army in the field, near Ogdensburg, N. r., Aug. 16-(UP)- The roar of artillery, the chatter of machine guns and the ssaccato bark of rifles echoed over the rolling dairy country of northern New York today as more than 50,000 troops fought three separate battles" in the nations biggest war maneuvers.
 It was exhausting labor, for in this mock war National Guard troops i'll equipped with transporta- ton ficilities were giving the best imitation they could of a war of movement. They spent most of yes- terday in reaching positions where the main bodies could get at each other, and the only engagements be- fore nightfall were minor clashes between advance units.
 Division is pitted against division, each reinforced by special troops and aviation. In the first corps, the 43rd and the 18th are matched. These are from New England. New York's 27th and New Jerseys 44th are opponents, and Pennsylvania s 18th is fighting the 18th from Maryland and Virginia.
 Units of the two National Guard cavalry divisions are attached to those named above or are working on special problems, as is the regu- lar army first division.
 During the night rival command CTS shifted dispositions in an effort to fool the "enemy" and with dawn major engagements were begun which by mid-morning had reached a scale seldom seen in this coun- try in peace time. Almost without exception the troops showed notice- able improvement, over even two days ago when they embarked on brigade maneuvers. By Monday. when two-sided army maneuvers open for a four-day battle" for the st. Lawrence Valley, they will bt as hard and as keen miiitarily as such q brief period of training will permit.
 The streamlined first division yes- teyday gave two demonstrations of lwhat q modern fighting force should be like. ia a river crossing by motorized infantry and in operating on the ''combat team" principle. f. F.."
