bored to death with each other. so their marriage,
obviously, has reached dangerous phase. She
looked very pleased
But Joe groaned The mans probably plumb

they're going in town to get tattooed. For Pete's
sake. suppose judged people at face value like
that? wouldn't last long in business.
HIS mind veered to George Belding. who had only
recently been elected head of their Community
Chest Drive. Belding was comparative new
conner to town but everyone had accepted him
enthusiastically from the start High -prncipled
had been the verdict. "A man Of integrity"
But Joe, in his cautious way. had reserved judg-
ment for months. secretly studying Belding from
every angle Only recently had he come to the
same decision the others had made at the very
start But instead Of feeling sheepsh he had felt
kind of pride. His judgment was based on fact,
not hearsay or intuition, and that was the only
way to judge man.
They were on the 8:22 a few days later when
Amy nudged Joe and said in low voice, There's
that couple again.
Joe looked across the aisle. The distinguished
looking man and the quiet-looking woman were
staring straight ahead at nothing.
II give them about month more, Amy said
sadly. They're only hanging on now because of
the children. This other woman has probably
hooked him already. He's very attractive in a
tweedy sort of way
ALTHOUGH Joe was exasperated, he had to smile.
There was such profound expression on his wife's
snub-nosed face. But the smile faded almost
instantly. This wasn't anything to joke about
Pretty soon. he'd have to sit down with her and
deliver serious talk on the dangers and disilusion
ments involved in making snap judgments
One morning, after they had settled in their
train seats, Amy looked around her and stifened.
Joe" she said. Look"
Joe looked. This time the man with the graying
hair was seated next to beautiful blonde woman
in chic black. They were talking in low voices,
their heads close together
What did tell you?" Amy said. She looked
very excited and pleased by her analysis.

enthusiastically Oh adore her! She's the sweet
est fnest person. or, darkly, Il can't stand that
man. You can tell by his mouth that he has
cruel streak"
To Joe, this was exasperating. for any conclusion
that he ever reached was the result of long and
careful mental study.
AMY had very good job in New York, and
every morning the two of them boarded the 1922
from Westchester to the city. One morning, after
they had been married for almost year, Amy
looked around her on the train. her gaze moving
slowly from passenger to passenger. Her pretty
face was absorbed, for studying people" was her
favorite pastime Now she said, Il have feeling
that that couple across the aisle won't be married
long"
Joe looked across. The man. who had CRAVING
hair, was good-looking in a lean, British sort of
way. The woman, about forty had sweetly plain
face, DO you know them?" he said.
''Oh. no. But I've been studying them. They
probably live in big Georgian house filled with
antiques and their children are away at college.
He's big business executive and she's going into
town with him to buy new hat"
She shook her head broodingly. But it isn't
going to do her any good. He's slipping away from
her. There's probably another woman already"
Joe stared at her. You can tell all this just by
looking at them?"
oh, it goes much deeper than that, Amy said.
"It's matter Of careful deduction. For instance,
they're both expensively dressed in quiet way
which means they're used to money and you
can tell by her antique jewelry that she loves old
things. So - it's safe bet that they have big
house filled with antiques.
They're in their early forties, so their children
should just about be starting college. He's got a

is a counter action to a petition
brought by white proponents Of
jimcrow sports activities.
The white petition had enough
signatures to call for a vote on the
question of non-jimcrow pro foot
ball and baseball. During the spring
training season several interracial
baseball tits were played at Rick
wood Field without Incident.
These games were permitted by
virtue of an amendment to the
city's jim crow laws excluding
from them pro baseball and foot
ball. The whites got signatures of
5000 registered voters protesting
the amended law, thus calling for
an election.
In their suit the Negroes claim
the election cannot be held because
the timcrow law in itself is an
unconstitutional ordinance.
