A NEW STUNT -
A hitch-hiker with a bent for
saving labor reached Salt Lake City
from California. On the back of
his long black coat was painted in
large white tetters, "going to Pen
nsylvania.- Would appreciate a
ride.”1
He explained to an inquiring
policeman the plan worked well
and spared him the inconvenience
of turning around every time a car
approached to raise his thumb.
THREE, WITH MONEY,
FOUND STARVING
New York.—Neighbors found
Mrs. Helen Marcus, her husband
and six-year-old son lying on the
floor of their flat partly helpless
from starvation. Later police
found Mrs. Marcus had secreted
$1,600 in a mattress in the flat
and had $400 in the bank. "It’s
mine,” Mrs. Marcus was said to
have told police. "That money is
mine, and it’s up to my husband to
support his family.”
"Pa, what is meant by being in
dire straits?”
"When a person is so hard up
that he can’t even buy gas for his
auto.”
