CONCERNING "sLIM"

An Associated Press dispatch from
Tallahassee says that the State Road Pa
troll is revamping its short-wave radio net
throughout Florida.
That news reminded us of S. R. Wal
ker, "Slim" to those who know him well,
who might we'll be called the bloodhound
of the Overseas Highway, because, dur
ing the several years he has covered" the
highway, no major culprit has succeeded
in evading him.
Your car has been stolen? Okay; you
may be sure it will be returned to you if
you have not delayed too long in reporting
it to the sheriff's office. You have reason
to believe that the man who stole your
car is trying to get to the mainland over
the highway? Okay again, provided you
have not waited too long to report the
theft.
AS soon as you report the theft to the
sheriff's office, Sheriff Sawyer, or one of
his assistants reports the theft to Slim
Walker, giving him a description of the
car, and you may be sure, if you have not
waited too long, your car will be returned
to you.
In no instance has Slim missed find
ing a stolen automobile while the thief
was trying to reach the mainland, assum-
ing, of course, that the theft was reported
in time. But in many cases, when the re-
port was made too late for Slim to make
the arrest, he has relayed by radio his in
formation to State Road Patrol officers in
Miami, and the thieves have been caught
at that end of the line.
Now Sims car and the car of every
other State Road Patrolman will be better
equipped with radio facilities, which
means that the net will close even tighter
than it is at present on automobile thieves
in Florida.
Slim, modest and retiring almost to
the point of reticence, has done good job
on the Overseas Highway, and we are con-
fident that the people of Monroe appre-
ciate what he has done, not only in recov-
ering cars, but also in regulating traffic
on the Overseas Highway.

GUESS THE ANswER-wIN A SHIRT!

A single large shirt manufacturer has
420. 900 shirts on hand; one big retail store
has none.
This was the gist of a recent neWspa-
ner headline. The story went on to tell
how millions of mems shirts lie idle in
manufacturers Storerooms, while retail
ers' shelves are bare and civilian demand
grows more desperate every day. The
manufacturers want to sell these shirts,
but a tangle in the price rules makes it
impossible for them to do so. One store
official remarked, 'It is not so much that
prices are inadequate as that the manu-
facturers can't find out what prices they
can charge
An example of what makes confusion,
was the following OPA revised" rule
designed to help manufacturers who piled
up too many high-priced items and couldn't
sell them without violating regulations.
This provision provided that the manu-
facturer might get his average price back
in line "by selling every item in his line
at or below his average price until the
surcharge is made up.
"As an alternative, he may make up
his surcharge on the instalment basis. I'm
der this plan, the manufacturer will re-
duce his MAP. each month by set per-
centage, which is the percentage of his
net surcharge to his total net dollar volume
of deliveries for a preceding period. He
keeps the average price of his deliveries
each month at this reduced maximum
average price until his surcharge is worked
off"
If you can figure this out you can get
a shirt-if you can explain it to the shirt
manufacturers.

THE BRITISH LOAN

Nobody seems to doubt that Great
Britain needs $3.50, 100000, but there is
big difference of opinion on Capitol Hill
in Washington about having the United
State Government furnish all that money
In view of the history of World War
there is only one Government in Europe
that is entitled to further credit-and that
is Finland. All the rest of them failed to
come through. Now, our friend Britain is
heading the procession with Russia,
France, China and other countries in the.
Atlantic and Pacific trailing along in line

der Il Washington columnist asked the
question: why should Capitalist America
use the borrowed dollars of its citizen
taxpayers to help Britain socialize her in

to ask the same question. Haven't we
enough troubles of our own to keep Uncle
Sans head aching?

she heard it too, coming up the
drive.
Lend me your TORCH" said
Uncle Peter, and taking it,
crossed the room and opened the
door. But he let no one in; he
stepped outside, closing it behind
him.
She was left now in utter dark
ness. She heard a murmur of
voices outside, and she was
cropping her way across the
lounge to the door, when the
lights came on. She hurried then,
and looked through the incur
tanned glass of the door. A car
stood out there and the head
lights shone along the drive. And
she had a glimpse of two men,
carrying between them a limp
body; then they passed beyond
the stream of light, and she could
see them no more.
"This is too much -" she
thought. 81 can't"
Her knees were shaking: she
sat down again. And presently
the front door opened and Uncle
Peter reentered, dapper and
cheerful.

cried.

"Why, it was just a fellow

"You know, this place used to be

Very cheerful and reassuring,
Uncle Peter was. But on his
cheek and on his shirt-front were
two black smudges. Very like
coal-dust. Very like the smudge
one might get in cellar. Smudges
such as one might get in going
down to turn off the current.
'I'm going" she thought. "I'm
going to leave here tomorrow, if

haps it's all-imagination--but

like that"

MIDGET RADIOS

By using silver and carbon links" on
a tiny silver of ceramic plate, scientists
have developed a radio circuit that makes
practical a radio set with reception equal
to present-day receivers twenty times as
large. The suggestion is made that the de-
velopment will make possible miniature
radars to detect Instructions ahead for the
blind
The process was developed by Dr.
Cledo Brunetti and Harry Diamond, of the
Bureau of Standards, and Col. C. H. N.
Roberts, of the Army Ordnance Depart
ment. They call the printed circuit quicker
and more uniform than hand-wired lay
outs. increasing sturdiness and reducing
cost. The link" is applied to the plate by
means of a stencil.
We have no idea whether the NINA
tqre sets will be commercially manufac-
tured, or not. Not every discovery is
