kansan Elected Constable
Through 'Joke' Of Friend

KANSAS CITY, KAN..-Harry
o. Tinklepaugh made probably
the shortest acceptance" speech
on record.
Tinklepaugh went to vote.
REM Edwards, longtime friend,
told him he promised TO vote
for him for constable.
Tinklepaugh said: fine"
Edwards did some quick cam
paigning. He lined up four votes
for his friend. Tinklepaugh
thought no more of the Joke"
When the counting board fin
ished its work, it certified Tin
klepaugh as constable on the
basis Of those four write-in-
votes.
There were no candidates on
the ticket for the no-fee-no-office
job. So there were 81 write-ins.
And Tinglepaugh's four votes
topped the field.
For the surprised Tinkle-
paugh, there was some satisfac-
ton.

Average Man Works Less,
Gets More Wages for II

LONDON.-A boilermaker in Kan
sas City smacks home a half-dozen
rivets in two minutes. 1t earns
him a loaf of bread.
The black-haired little Italian
who comes around to mend the
furnace in a Rome apartment
works nearly half an hour for his
loaf. In London, where govern
ment subsidies pay a large part Of
bread cost, the boilermaker has to
work twice as long for a loaf as
his Kansas City counterpart.
The average American works
fewer hours and gets a whale of
a lot more for his labor than most
of the people he's helping in Eu-
rope.
To find the facts about the cost
Of living in the western world, re-
search workers in 81 major cities,
including Washington and Kansas
City, investigated living conditions
of typical families.
For comparative purposes, each
selected a bookkeeper, a ditchdig-
ger and a boilermaker, all married
and the fathers Of two children.
The cost of living was translated
into minutes and hours of work
needed to obtain LIES necessities.
The researchers found that earn
ing power in terms of groceries ap-
proaches United States standards
in Oslo, Copenhagen and Stock
holm-but other ordinary items,
especially clothes, are considerably
higher.
