KINDNESS REWARDED
Thirty-six years ago, J. A
Becker and his family of Spring
field, Ohio, gave shelter and food
to David Stockschalder, his wife
and seven children who were
traveling in & wagon from New
York to California. After stay
ing three months with the Beck
ers, the Stockschladers traveled
west again, promising to repay
them for their kindness some
day. Recently, Mrs. Bertha
Becker Fish, only living daughter
of J. A. Becker, was notified that
she and her husband will receive
$175,000 under the will of Mr.
Stockschlader, who died in Los
Angles at the age of 80,
A COLD NIGHT
Genevieve Raisor, Negro kiteh-
en attendant at Erlanger hospi-
tal, Chattanooga, Tenn. was ac-
cidentally trapped in the cold
storage compartment of the hos-
pital and was found by the hos-
pital chef the next morning. The
woman declared that she “prayed
a lot and ‘jived'’ my shoulders
a little” to keep from freezing to
death.
EMBARRASSED
A practice air-raid blackout at
Bradford embarrassed two young
women carrying several bottles
of beer down a street. When the
sirens sounded, a special police-
man hastily escorted them to the
nearest air-raid shelter, the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, “I
had to do it,” explained the of-
ficer, “it was the only place to
put them.”
CALLS FOR HELP
When Mrs. J. B. Hargrave, of
Ardmore, Okla., an invalid in her
eighties, fell from her invalid’s
chair, her cries for help were
too feeble to be heard by neigh-
bors. Not so the cries of her pet
parrot, however, whose squawks
for help brought the neighbors
on the run.
UNHANDY MAN
Mrs. RB. O. Bornhouser, Paris,
Mo., drove her car into a service
station, enlisted aid of the at-
tendant in opening its locked
trunk. The attendant finally
managed to open the lid—and
out crawled Mr. Bornhouser. He
had been inside with a flashlight,
trying to fix the lock.
DESPERATE
My, Brown is anxious for tires, |
it seems, judging from the sign
which appeared in a drug store
window at Taunton, Mississippi.
“Brogan wants four new tires, will
pay cash, give mortgage on
store and will throw in small
farm in Main with two ducks,
one hen and seven roosters.”
Keep Old Gumshoes
Till Later, They're
Good for. Trade-In
In donating your old rubber, be
sure to keep an old pair of overshoes
on hand, if you want to buy & new
pair next winter
This advice is given by an official
who warns that rubber overshoes

of rubber for the scrap collection

Stooping over and with a bit of
help from onlookers, Ickes rolled up
{the heavy mat, called his chauffeur
and it was bundled into the front of
an official limousine. The Sceretary
said it would be delivered to the

commented, “No one from the White
