Peter Cooper Village, one OF
the the first of New York's big
housing developments. doesn't
seem to be mellowing with age.
Life there is still a matter OF
hard and fast rules which special
village police enforce with strict
attention to duty. Right now,
these police are involved in one
of the great criminal chases OF
recent times. It's the cops
against two kids and two moth
ers. The kids are guilty of play
ing on the grass (practically a
felony from the landlords stand
point) and the mothers are
guilty of withholding evidence in
a conspiracy.
The tots were happily gambol-
ing on the forbidden green the
other day when the village cops
appeared. The mothers, knowing
they were caught redhanded,
ducked into one of the play
grounds. The kids refused to tell
the. cops their names and also re-
fused all advice to Go and find
your mommies." After q while,
however, the kids got bored with
Interrogation and started toward
their mothers In the Fairgrounds.
One mother grabbed her Off
spring and started toward her
apartment house. A cop Joined
them. She took refuge in the
Fifth Amendment, refusing to
even tell her name, When the
cops partner hollered to him and
he turned away. Mommy ducked
into an elevator and made her
escape. The cop couldn't tell in
which of the 100 apartments in
the building she lives.
4 Il II
The other mother used slightly
different tactics. When her A.
year-old ran to her in the play
ground she, too, refused to
identify herself. The cops hung
around. Mother and child re-
fused to leave the playground.
The cops ostensibly disappeared.
Nom and tot started for home.
The sleuths jumped out Of some
bushes as she approached her
house, but she took 70 her heels
and made the elevator just. ahead
Of them. She got of at wrong
floor and walked two flights.
The cops have a stakeout on
the building still. But the moth
ers have changed their hairdos.
are wearing dark glasses. and
have done other secret things TO
disguise their looks and the looks
OF the two kids. They're still on
the lam and, since crime never
pays, will doubtless be appre-
hended. The housing develop
ment has various punitive meas
ures, like two demerits for play
ing the piano after II o'clock

Horace Mcmahon. one of our
favorite actors, left for Holly
wood yesterday to make the
Western movie, "Jubal Troop"
Horace doesn't start working un-
til June 6, but he has to be. there
June 3 for costume fittings.
Since he wears the standard
black cowboy suit and range hat
of the conventional villain. it
wouldn't seem that fitting would
be a three-day bit. But the
truth is that the costume o.
partment also has to identically
costume the actor who is going
to ride horses for Horace. the
actor who'll fight the hero for
Horace, and the actor who'll
stand in for Horace.

sleep in after about ten minutes
Of talking she told MIR. Stanley
that the box was worth Csc and
after talking a while Mr.. Earle
Elderdice came in the front door
and took a seat at the front door.
and asked if Mrs. Long was 60
ing to charge quarter for a
seat at the front door, and Mrs.
Long was putting up shoes at
that time, and Mr.. Elderdice
said to the others that were in
the store that if Mrs. Long start
I'd coming at him he had plenty
If time to get out and get gone
| was in the back of the store
and started to wondering about
the way that they do at that
store, and if she collected 25c
for that box that would make
Sl.25. l am still wondering if
she charged Csc for entering the
store, if that be true she could
buy the Tribune for ten years
because of the big business that
she is having at her store. Mrs.
Long told me that she didn't
want to be without the Tribune
at any time, so l figure that she
likes to read different articles in
the Tribune, and from a report
that l checked on the different
readers of my column / found
out that every body in Tabor
City was reading my column
and if every body that reads my
column would send me a three
cent stamp l wouldn't have 10
work for the newspaper any
longer.
