Mans Wooden Leg Held Inviolable Against Search for Evidence

LOS ANGELES R-Looking in a mans wooden leg to see if he has been taking bets on the horses constitutes unreasonable search, says Municipal Judge Joseph L. Call.
 The judge dismissed a book making charge against Ralph w. Pattison, 55, yesterday, holding that detectives who arrested him had no reasonable cause to search his wooden leg.
 The arresting officers claimed they found four betting markers and S3,233 in cash in Pattison's artificial leg.

Cameron Highlander Must Wear Underpants By Court Order

EASTBOURNE, England, R - For centuries tradition-minded Scotsmen have worn nothing be- heath their kits.
 But 69-year-old David M. Cum mings, an old Cameron High lander, has added an under gar ment. Here's why:
 Cummings was strolhng down the beach, proud and handsome sight in his green and red tartan kilt, Highland jacket and big bow tie.
 Then the sea breezes became indiscreet.
 The next thing Cummings knew, he was in court facing an indecency charge.
 "In the Cameron Highlanders," " Cummings explained to the judge i've were never allowed to wear anything under the kilt-even in the dead of winter. So I've never worn anything under mine.
 But in view of this incident, I intend to wear something henceforward. In fact, I've got them on now"
 And in view of this assurance, the judge dismissed the charge.

Acting Postmaster Lists Instructions
To Assure YuIe Mail Delivery On Time

Looking forward to one of the
largest holiday mail rushes in the
history of the Bluffton Post Office,
Ralph Stearns, acting postmaster, has
outlined ten basic pointers for users
of the mails to follow in order to
assure prompt and safe delivery of
their Christmas cards and gifts.
l. Address mail fully and clearly.
Write legibly or print plainly. Where
applicable in large cities, use zone
numbers on the address and return
address. Write out completely the
names of cities and states. Avoid
using authorizations which might con-
fuse mail handlers.
2. Be certain that a return address
is printed on the upper left hand
corner of both Christmas cards and
parcels. This will prevent any un-
delivered mail ending up in a dead
letter" office. Use first-class mail in
order to insure proper forwarding or
return of Christmas cards.
3. Do not enclose coins or hard
objects of any kind in letters, without
marking the envelope for hand stamp
ing. High speed cancelling machines
cannot process such letters, often jam
and damage letters.
a. Do not mail cash in any Christ
mas gift. For safety's sake, use
Postal Money Orders or checks.
5. Make sure parcels are well
packed and securely wrapped in
strong containers. Cushioning ma.
terial, such as excelsior, shredded
newspapers or tissue paper should be
evenly and firmly placed on all sides
of the Christmas gift. The carton
should be wrapped in heavy paper
and securely tied with strong twine
6. Gifts of a delicate nature, such
as glass, china, electrical appliances
radios, and musical instruments
must be marked Fragile" by the
mailer. Food stuffs must be marked
"Perishable" if subject to spoilage
Z. Insure parcels. Register letters
of real value. Where only proof o.
delivery is required for letters of nj
intrinsic value use Certified Mail
Use Combination Mail where a letter
or message other than gift tag-is
to be enclosed inside a Christina:
package.
8. Ask at the post office for the
free pamphlet, Post Office Depart
ment Publication No. 3" which con
