There Was An Old Lady
Who Lived In a-Trolley
And Saved All Her Money

CHICAGO, Up - There's no
place like home-if it's a Chicago
street car - for a 73-year-old
woman who says she's been using
trolleys as sleeping quarters for
seven years.
Mrs. Anna Cox said she solved
her housing problem-and saved
money 49, by taking her nights
lodging in street cars.
Mrs. Cox, who will be IA Fri
day, is in Cook County hospital
recovering from a broken leg suf-
fered in traffic accident Jan. It,.
She disclosed she had no living
quarters other than street cars
when officials sought her address
preparatory to releasing her.
Mrs. Cox said she is planning
to go back to her rolling home
after her release. She quit living
in hotels, she said, because she
found them unclean, cold and
dangerous.
Her nights lodging in street
cars-three round trips on a 81
mile route-costs her $1.O2 for
six tokens. A round trip takes
nearly four hours.
Mrs. Cox who had been making
living as a door-to-door sales
man selling hair nets and other
articles, said she keeps change
of clothes in a warehouse and
freshens up in public Mushrooms.
She said she was able to save
regularly and produced bank
book showing deposits totaling
$8,326.

family" she told reporters.

19-year-old Playgirl
Testifies In Vice Trial
Of Margarine Heir

NEW YORK, R-Play girl Pat
Wards roster of live customers
today stood at so to 100, including
a former European munitions
maker, as she began her third
day of testimony in the vice trial
Of margarine heir Minot T. Jelke
III.
The 19-year-old red-haired girl,
who jumped from Manhattan's
lower East side into cafe society
circles, was reported near the end
Of her direct testimony and ready
to face cross-examination by Jel-
ke's attorneys.
Jelke, % year old scion Of a
socially registered family, is
charged with inducing Miss Ward
and two other young women to
become prostitutes and with liv-
ing off Miss Wards earnings.
Although newsmen and the
public have been barred from the
courtroom by General Sessions
Judge Francis l.. Valente, defense
and prosecution attorneys have
been permitted to answer report
ers' questions.
Newsmen thus learned that
these were some of the highlights
of Miss Wards testimony:
Many customers are mice peo-
ple' with ''big names" and some
are from New York's clothing
industry. Others named are not
known to be politicians or Holly
wood figures. One was former
European munitions maker.
Her fees for a night of love
were $50 and 500, depending on
what the traffic could bear.
