We lived together. and we

I'm going to miss the break

Of coffee.
pUT once in q long while there
- came a surprise. There was
French toast and bacon on three
occasions-and on one memoir

fresh egg.
A fresh egg, mind you! Not
an ancient egg. not q hard

what q morning that was!
You know what I think? I
think that, although I've trav.

was the finest piece of food I
ever tasted. Silly thought, isn't
it? But it's true

"A TYPICAL sample of Dies

7 SAW something the other
4 day that in itself was trivial
Yet, to me il seems of out
standing Importance because
there are too many officials
connected with all sorts of
federal, state and municipal Of
fees browbeating our citizens
and il is about time TO protest
against it-and what Is more
important, to do something
about it.
On Saturday, 1 was strolling
in Riverside Park here in New
York with a fellow journalist
when we noticed a commotion.
Instinctively we walked to
the spot.
There were two men in ci-
william dress, without hats, who
apparently were ordered by
their superiors to hang around
a spot in the rallied off part
of the park to arrest citizens
who ignored a sign, keep Off"
Some do and some don't and
II the city wants to station a
man there to tell folks to keep
off, that is all right with me.
But what these cops without
uniforms were doing was to let
folks 90 on the grass and then
hand them a summons-which
does neither the people nor the
grass any good.
An electric eye and record
ing repeating, please keep off
the grass would be more eff
fective.
TN THIS particular instance
Il the citizens even denied that
they had actually stepped on
the grass.
They were handed summonses
for a state of mind.
And when the woman pro-
tested, the policeman in multi,
disguised as a civilian, accused
her of abusing him.
Since when is il abuse IL q
taxpayer asks policeman for
his authority to make an ar.
rest? And several of US sug-
gested that If there are not
enough police to keep down
adult and juvenile delinquency.
how is IL possible to station
these 'xcitable policemen in a
public park to keep citizens of
the grass?
There seems 10 be a false
sense of proportion and too
much bossiness in all this what
with all the real worries and
griefs We suffer these days.
I'm sure that a Boy Scout
could protect that tract Of grass
with more intelligence and less
harshness. and with less of that
pushing around.
A ND that reminds me OF an
"A OPA case up near SIAM
ford. Conn. which represents
the same general type Of the
substitution of pushing around
for common sense.
A family sold their home and
moved elsewhere, and they had
TO get rid of some articles, in
GLIDING a refrigerator. They
advertised the items for sale
in a local newspaper.
One item was General Elec-
trio refrigerator, in good con-
dition, purchased in 1880 for
$3.50.
They had between so and 70
telephone calls concerning this
refrigerator and sold il 10
man for as they tell me, $50.
The OPA heard Of the sale
and went after them on the
ground { .at the ceiling price
on such a refrigerator is $3.50.
But they could not afford to
sell 1t for S19,50 and the man

Answer to Question No. .
Time seems to move more
slowly to young people because
they wish il TO move rapidly.
Older people wish IL m Owe
slowly, which makes il seem TO
move rapidly. In childhood,
tasks and studies are decided
for us by Older people and what
old fogies decide bores the child
and makes the time seem TO 20
slowly. The adult, however, has
so much to do that time Is never
sufficient for everything.

TN A hospital where ] am al
i lowed by the authorities TO
see some OF the patients occa-
uSionally we had the other day
NO patients who had a very
rare condition "a vitamin de-
ficiency-infantile scurvy.
In spite of all the ballyhoo
you hear about the widespread
frequency and dangers OF Vita
min deficiency, these patients
were such curiosities that all
the staff members were espe-
cially invited TO see them.
They were shown TO both the
senior and junior classes Of
medical students, because they
might not get chance TO see
another case, at least for a long
time.
There had been one other case
OF scurvy in the hospital this
winter-an adult.
And il was quite curiosity,
too.
THE cases are worth consider
i ing at length because they
represent some mistakes that
even yet occur In the manage
ments Of these conditions.
Scurvy is the result OF lack
of Vitamln { in the diet
Vitamin c is found best in
fresh citrus fruits-orange juice,
lemon Juice. lime juice, grape
fruit and tomatoes.
The fresh, or raw. fruit or
Juice must be used: cooking very
largely destroys Vitamin c.

about the daily intake of vita
Minis is this passage from Mea-
kin's Practice of Medicine-"If

diet for a period Of six continu-
Gus weeks symptoms of scurvy

The medical profession have

that for years and the fact that
infantile scurvy is so rarely

success Of the educational cam
paign.

recited in a suit for $4,000 filed
Saturday against the Detroit
Racing Association.
The plaintiff is Maxwell VI

an attorney for the AFL. with
offices at 90S Cadillac Square.
Besides the demand for dam
ages. Wallach is asking the court
10 declare the state racing law
unconstitutional. and asserts that

while peacefully, and perhaps
prsyerfully standing at the
track trying 10 pick two horses
for the daily double, he was
seized and assaulted by two po-
licemen.
The lack Of a totalizer al the
