One day the city notified her that, because of a rearrangement of traffic routes, the name and house numbers of that particular block have to be changed. The dowager was outraged, and decided to fight the change. She battled all the way to the state supreme court, insisting that the city lad no right to change her address without her permission. However, the court didnt see it that way and upheld the citys action. The judge said that, no matter how long a person has an address, it still never becomes his private property. j2 convenient packages would the $5000 he had been promised.

Just Drop Coin New Vending Machine Hands Out Umbrellas GARY. IND. No need to worry about sudden showers. Just pur chase an umbrella from a vending machine at a department store, depot, airport even at a baseball game! Such a possibility may become a reality soon, all because of an idea that came to Jane Burgess, an Indianapolis, Ind., housewife and mother of three children, reports National Patent Council. Mrs. Burgesss idea came to her out of necessity. Caught in the rain without an umbrella and without money enough with her to purchase even the cheapest umbrella she fcould find, Mrs. Burgess began thinking someone should invent a throw-awa- y umbrella that would cost well under a dollar. The idea haunted her until at Christmastime last year she came across a little folding Christmas bell. There was the answer, and her idea materialized. She and heL husband, Bob, a rail- road conductor, developed the idea. Then they took their umbrella to a friend, Curtiss McCoy, a toy and gadget manufacturer. He liked what he saw, and by early summer their product was ready for marketing. The product consisted of a neat packet of black, accordion-pleated- , waterproof paper, 162 inches long, and a wooden rod 19 inches long. Unfold the paper into a circle, snap together, insert the rod in a metal holder, and the result is a serviceable papersol. With their idea ready to be marketed and already accepted by one Indianapolis store, the inventive Burgess had to face still another problem. There was no machine available that would fold paper into accordion pleats. So Bob went to work and, with his typewriter, scored paper so that it could be evenly pleated. Later the job was turned over to a company with machinery for scoring, until a machine for such pleating could be ACROSS Exhibition 5. River (Belg.) 1. 9. 5L Spar 52. Serve DOWN 1. 21. 2. Breeze 3.
