covery of false rubber nose and
glasses in a car which Plumley
traded IN for a newer model the
day after the pair held up the
B, K. Miller general store in Clin-

nose and glasses makeup for the
finance company holdup.
Last Wednesday Plumley traded
in his car on a later model at a
used car lot in the $500 block OF
Benning road NE. His first mis-
take was in picking that lot, where
Raymond r. Camden. 81, Of 6l43
Kansas avenue NE. was in charge.
MIR. Camden is former police
man.
His second mistake was in leav.
ing a spare false nose and glasses
in the car he left at the lot. Com

right name and said he was max
ing a trip by air to Canton, Ohio.

Music Stores

NEW YORK. The time ISM
here just yet, but it may not be
too long before you can get your
doctors prescription filled at the
music store instead of the drug
counter.
Something like a symphony or
sonata for sinus, some Debussy for
that feeling of debility and a little
Rachmaninoff for that restless
feeling. And who would overlook
Mozart for measles or mumps?
Naturally, music won't set a
broken leg or pull a tooth, but some
of it will help you digest food better,
quicken your breathing, give you
more energy and lower your pulse
and blood pressure.
The army spent money on the
study of the curative and psyche
logical effects of medicine at Wal
ter Reed general hospital in World
Wal II. Out of that venture has
come the music research founda-
tion.

There" . Over there where he
had suffered terribly.
His scream was heard by Miss
Frances Paperte, then star of the
Chicago Opera co. Her eventual
response was to decide that "aI
music is not good for all people,"
In World War II she tested out this
belief among hospitalized soldiers,
and later founded the Music Re-
search foundation at a New York
meeting in the home of Mrs. Ben
jamin Harrison.
