London. roliee of the city of London, the historic square mile which still reserves to Itself sole right to the name given an area housing 7,000,-00people, are on the jump now to leep their salutes fast and frequent They hare become salute conscious. Somewhere In the city policemen are saluting every hour of the twenty-fouIt's a good old London custom, and It may mean a lot to a bobby who permits an unrecognized citizen In mufti to pass without clicking the heels, enlarging the chest, and snapping the band to the helmet He may be the boss. Sir Hugh Turubull is commissioner 3jbr the city of London police. Recently he passed a young officer directing traffic at the end of Old Jewry, near headquarters. Blandly the policeman waved the unrecognized civilian across the street with what might have been impatient distaste for his undignified 0 r. locomotion. Other Violations. said the civilian be- "Constable," tween his teeth, '"follow me." The constable followed. On the carpet he was suspended from duty and his case wouJd be dealt with at told " a disciplinary inquiry. He hadn't saluted the boss. There were mmor3 of other violations, but the failure to salute brought down the wrath. London policemen have a lot of saluting to do In the ordinary way, as it is, and regulations free them from this duty If an outstretched hand is all that prevents a stream of traffic from rushing down upon him and the salutee. But generally he has to keep both eyes peeled to be sure he misses nobody. He has to salute the lord mayor, the sheriffs, the aldermen, the councilors, and all his superiors from the rank of inspector up. This regulation Includes Sir Hugh Turnbull. Everybody salutes members of the oyal family. Salute Roval Familv. Police in the metropolitan force, which includes Westminster, Kensington, Holburn, and other boroughs, have almost as much saluting to do. And It isn't the haphazard gesture of most undrlUed coppers at home. It's a military movement with a distinct "as you were" afterward. Their regulations compel police of all ranks to salute members of the Toyal family, cabinet ministers, the king's colors when displayed by troops marching, and officers of the army, navy, air, and auxiliary forces before conversations. Except in the case of the royal family this is ignored when a salute would interfere with the execution of duty unless the person entitled to a salute addresses the officer. Then he saJutes if lie is on a -:. ladder. Salutes for members of parliament are a matter of courtesy or party feeling. If the officer recognizes a member of the house of commons or a noble lord he may salute if lie feels like it, but It doesn't matter if he forgets.

After being paid a small fee, the witch boiled up various brews, made incantations and thrust a large needle Into the girl's right foot. As the girl's fever continued, so was the treatment until, on the witch's advice, 64 needles had been thrust deeply Into the leg, some of them so deeply that they disappeared into the flesh. The girl became so ill that she was Temoved to hospital. Forty needles, were extracted. It traced by is feared that the victim will have t have her leg amputated If her life is to be saved.

Not daring to inform her cook that her services were no longer needed, Mme. Rafale induced her to go on a vacation for two weeks. While she was away the actress sent her a letter announcing her dismissal. The cook claimed that her employer's method of "firing" her wounded her feelings and claimed $2,000 damages. The court agreed with the cook, read a sermon to the mistress In the form of $120 in damages and a $4 fine, and let her go with the benefit of the first offenders' act which makes the fine ineffective. A LIGHTS of NEW YORK """ rrrrrr f r j j j j j jfl Carles Hanson Towns and Gene Tunney, during the cold spell we had before the latter went to Europe, were walking from the hotel whera Tunney was staying, In the direction of din ner. at one of the smarter Park avenue restaurants. Through the dusk ahead of them trudged a man to whom they paid no attention until he suddenly staggered and plunged forward on his face. That Is not exactly because he didn't plunge, but seemed rather to fold op gently and then spread himself upon a sidewalk grating. Towne and Tunney didn't know whether he was drunk, drugged, hurt or ill, but when they stooped above him, there was no scent of liquor and, if his clothes were old, they were neat He was pale and seemed to be In a faint When Tunney lifted him, with the strong muscles of the athlete he still Is, Gene was surprised to find how light he was. He carried the man Into the foyer of an apartment house and Charlie Towne sent a hallboy for a near-bdoctor, who came at once. He looked the man over. "Just a case of may lnutrition," he said. "This fellow has been starving." He gave him some sort of stimulant. As the man's eyes opened, the first thing he saw was a stranger, who happened to be bending over him stuffing ten dollar In a pocket which appeared to have been empty for some time. He couldn't have known where he was, or how he got there; but he did know that face. "When did you eat last?" demanded the stranger. "Oh, I don't know," said the man weakly, "three or four days ago. But aren't you Gene Tunney?" And the Interest of finding himself talking to a heavyweight champion, even a retired one, seemed to rejuvenate the man more than any measure taken by the doctor. Mr. Towne and Mr. Tunney wished to send him to a hospital, but he insisted that he felt a lot better and that all he needed was a little So they saw that he got that, food. and then went along to their dinner. But, before they parted from the man, there was something that Tunney wished to know. I might say that he has one of the keenest pair of blue eyes I ever saw in stock. Not much gets past them. "When you fell," he said, "your right hand relaxed, and something slipped from it and dropped through the sidewalk grating. Do you mind telling us what It was?" "Why, no," said the man, a bit hesitantly. "It was a rosary. You see, I've been out of work for quite a while, and " They saw. A fellow of thirty; pretty hungry; a little desperate at failing to find a Job; a bit of prayer might help; it couldn't do any harm. Well, sometimes prayer seems to be answered, although not often in the shape of a pugilist and a poet. Anyhow, I think the man may get his job. I think it was J. Monroe Ilewlitt who told me this story of Joseph Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson was going somewhere on a train when he saw, out of the corner of his eye, a mother nod toward him and whisper to her little daughter. Pretty soon, the child came and stood beside him. "Are you Rip Van Winkle?" she asked, and Mr. Jefferson admitted that he was. "Well," continued the small girl, "do you remember the time you went up a mountain and went to sleep and then woke np and saw a lot of funny, little men?" She thought that It had only happened once. has The telephone ceased to be a novelty.

"I ask that Lupus, who Is now sitting wltB his ears erect and his tail wagging outside the door, eagerly awaiting a chance to clear his character, be summoned as a witness." This was the appeal solemnly made by Dr. Andor Dolly, defending counsel, in the Budapest District court recently. The case was one in which a landlady, Mme. Fekety, sought an ejectment order against a lodger, Talor Bela Nager, on acount of the alleged noisy and dirty habits of Lupus, his Alsatian dog. The judge listened to the counsel's plea that it was only fair to summon "the real defendant" as a witness to his own character and to give him an opportunity of showing how well he was disciplined. Then he smilingly rejected the application on the ground that it was impossible to administer the oath to even the most intelligent wolfdog. . .i . . .... - The following record of industrial activity lists items showing of capital, employment of labor and business activities and opportunities.

The Livestock Situation CATTLE AND HIDES The livestock market outlook appears to be somewhat brighter now than has been the case for some time due to improvement in values of certain notably hides and wool. The last six months of 1930 witnessed a marked decrease in importations of hides into this country, largely as a result of the new tariff of 10 per cent on hides, coupled with the low values existing in this country, which practically prohibited imports. During the past month, domestic hide prices have worked higher and demand is the most active in many months. Low prices during the first two months of 1931 created an export market for American hides and this is, Phone lf Local Agent H. G. Scott Drug Co.

No great improvement can be expected in wool until general trade conditions improve. The mild winter in most parts of the United States' did not help the wool market, yet wool is relatively cheap now and there is less inclination on the part of manufacturers to substitute other textile products for wool, a feature which will eventually react favorably in cleaning up the surplus wool.
