on display in a New York hotel.

pending on your personal views
Of art, you may find most Of the
exhibition painless.
The paintings represent the
after-hours brushwork of the men
with the drill who arc accustomed
to favoring strenuous brushing,
anyway.
Not ono picture of the agonles
of the dentists chair. The closest
to pain is the work of DR. Herman
Rodnick, a dentist painter who is
chairman of the exhibit This
painting is an impression Of a
fear haunted face of a Mexican
miner. The background is vivid
orangc-yellow and red Rodnick
insists these fiery colors have
nothing to do with a cavity.
Rather, he says, he has tried to
show the torment endured by a
miner attempting to support d
family of nine on less than one
dollar a day

Catch Woman AS
Smart Store
Theft Robber

WASHINGTON. - up. - The
District of Columbia police have
at last caught up with charge
account Peggy. According to the
authorities, this ingenious wo-
man has MIXED assorted depart
ment stores of thousands of
dollars. One store alone esti-
mates its losses to Peggy at $4,000.
What she did was to listen in
when some legitimate customer
gave her name and address to a
clerk. Then Peggy would move
along to the next counter, pick
something out and use the name
and address of the legitimate
customer. She always carried
her purchases with her. This
went on for four years. no less,
until finally a sharp-eared sales
girl stopped it. This saleSgirl
waited on Peggy and took her
name, and then later in the day
heard Peggy giving a different
name and address. The sales
girl got the store detectives and
that was that, The woman ac-
cused of this ge-account
spree is Mrs. Margaret Brandt,
a 30-year-old housewife.

Census Takers

NEW YORK.-(P).-And now
that the nation has come to its
census, you might be interested
in some of the problems Of the
census taker.
Let's consider the Seventh
Census District. 1t covers a big
chunk of Manhattan Island, and

body.
Some of the information. re-
ported by the census takers NAV
De wrong. Despite threats of
court action, and despite asSur-
ances that all information given
the census people is strictly. con-
fidential, there will always be
some folks who will try to hide
the truth.
They may not have been sold
on the governments argument
that giving the census taker all
the information he asks is a pa
triotic duty. They may be rugged
ndividualists who resent what
they consider Uncle Sans prying
INTO their personal affairs. They
may DG women.
Of the ladies, it has been said
that they have a reckless disre-
gard for facts concerning two
subjects of vital Importance to
the census.
The census taker cannot al
ways be sure he is getting a
truthful answer when he inquir-
cs discreetly: and now, Madam,
If you please, your age?"
The same situation is likely to
obtain when the census enumera-
tor asks, land what is your hus-
bands income?"
There are businessmen who
have made exhaustive surveys of
family income for purposes of
charting sales programs. And
they have been known to COM
plain that the average housewife
is about as reliable as the wealth
er forecasts in the farmers al
manac when asked point blank
about the state of her family's
finances.
The census may tell US what
population group, and what part
of the country, is best Of financi-
ally at the moment.
II may prove or disprove the
contention that the American
farmer is far ahead of his fellow
citizens, and basking in the warm
sunshine Of a prosperity never
known in this country before.
In advance of the census, a
survey indicative of farm pros
perity has been undertaken pri-
vatcly with the cooperation of
county farm bureaus agents in
nearly 5000 counties in the Uni
ted States. The aim of the survey
was to show to what extent farm
ers are responsible for the con-
struction boom now sweeping the
country.
1t is expected that the farmers
will spend more than one billion,
300 million dollars this year on
construction of farm houses,
. barns and other service buildings
or remodeling of present build
ings.
This building boom involves
more THAI 100000 new homes
and barns. New farm houses to be
built this year are expected to
make up ten per cent of total

When Smith was out, Mike es-

and dogs. He chartered and
cheered at the canaries.
Finally he threw bird cage
through plate glass window.
This merry racket greeted Smith
as he returned to the shop, but

clean fun.
He walked up to Smith and eX-

surveyed the damage to the shop.
But he said Mike would not be

Dy the Asseeiofsd Press

MONTREAL, Feb. 24-Eugene
r. Black, president of the World
Bank. said yesterday the technical
advice offered some countries by
the World Bank is as valuable to
them as financial aid.
But the American head of the
4s-nation institution stressed that
it is "a bank, and not an agency
for relief or emergency aid"
I'VE borrow funds in the pri-
vate capital market for relending
abroad, and we expect our loans
to be repaid" Mr.. Black said in
an address prepared for the In
vestment dealers Association of
Canada.
More important, we lend only
for products which we are salts
fed will genuinely increase the
productivity and mic
strength Of the borrowing coun-
tries.
Loans Must be Sound.
TT is an indispensable condi-
ton Of the banks success and
continued operations that it lend
soundly and pay its obligations.
Our purpose. however. is not
to make profits but, while re-
naming solvent and meeting our
obligations, to contribute effec-
lively to the twin goals of recon-
struction and development"
Mr.. Black told about technical
aid provided in Brazil, Ell Salvador,
Colombia and Turkey by bank
missions sent to those countries.
In Colombia. he noted, the mis-
sion developed for the first time

national income, Of the amount of

come from and where they go,
of the likely course of production
in various fields, and 50 on"
Data indispensable.
These data. Mr.. Black observed,

ment and for sound public policy"
"Our aim" he said, 'is not to

plan that could be adopted by the
Government (of any country
without change or ampliflcation.
