He- Showed the passenger the workitfg parts of the plane and explained to him about his parachute. When the time Came for the take-off, he turned to the passenger behind him and said: "When W0 get to th6 mountains we may have to fly pretty high. You are not used to that and may feel the altitude, but that is the oxygen tank right beside you. I'll look back to see how you are doing and, if you seem to be feeling the, height, I'll call to you arid all you have to do Is to work that little; handle." > . " Everything began to get up pretty high and then the pilot looked back.. The passenger , looked a little greenish, so the pilot jerked his thumb in the *dircsc-, lion of the tank and yelled "Pump!" Then lie turrySd back to Jiis job. A little jolt or. something caused him' to look back again. There was no passenger. The boss had understood the pilot to. yell! "Jump!" And had balled out.

If I can manage to memorize that, it is going to save a lot of copy reading. But I want to warn Mr. Cassidy that this is only a beginning. There are other words.

Billy Gaxton, star in "Of Thee I Sing," has a very beautiful wife, whose stage name is Madeline Cameron and who appeared in such shows as "Hit the Deck" and "Good News." For some reason, his pet name for her is "Ma." They went Into a i^ifth avenue shop to look over some shirts. Mrs. Gaxton wandered to another counter and her husband called to her : "Ma, come back here and look at these things." A little while later, she received a letter from the shop. It read: "We are pleased to inform you that the shirts you. ordered for your son are ready." Those interested in tennis may be pleased to learn that the international intercollegiate team match between Harvard-Yale and Oxford-Cambridge will be played at the Newport casino In July.

State, local and federal taxes paid in 1932 were equivalent to an annual average charge for each of the 414,- 553 electricity, gas water and heat customers of $5.77. Considered in relation to earnings for the entire system, the taxes of 1932 absorbed more than 20 per cent of net earnings. Regarding rates, the report to stockholders says: "During 1932, the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, with the consent of the Illinois Commerce Commission, voluntarily established various new gas and electric rates designed to meet existing difficult conditions! „ These new rates will not only effect substantial savings to customers, but, it is believed, will also en-, able the company to obtaih consider-: t ablo new business. j "Reduction in rates of the Public] j Service Company of Northern Illinois , for gas and electric service which were ! jin effect during the year reducedoperating revenues approximately! A large part of this re-f <iuction was the ^esujt of lower gas rates instituted in October, 1931, ind , lower electric rates instituted earlier jin 1931, the effect of which, for comparative purposes, continued for a period of twelve months from the date cach new rate was introduced. | "It is estimated that the reductions in rates made during the last three years aggregating $2,595,500--that is, $928,000 in 1930, $1,009,000 in 1931 and $658,500 in 1932--reduced fhe earnings on the 635,570 shares of Ihe company's common stock outstanding in the ha«ds of the public, December 31, 1932, approximately $4 per share." The report states that seven new industries of substantial size, and numerous smaller ones, started operations in the territory in 1932. This development, in a year when industry jn general has been reluctant to change location or expand, is pointed to as indicating the outstanding economic advantage of the area. Quick &rain of Clerk Deceives Holdup Man Badin, N. C.--Confronted by a holdup man during a slack hour in business, Ray Hendley, a store clerk, foiled the thief with a quick bit of brain work. "I haven't any money," he told the stickup man. "I don't even Work here. I just came to get a bag of salt; I'll call the clerk for you." He called an imaginary clerk and raised such a fuss about it that the holdup man fled immediately.

He had no particular use tor it and no particular reason for wanting It removed. He decided to raze it, however, for no other reason than that the job would give employment to some men he knew who needed work. Assisting with the razing work, Porter tore away a board and uncovered an old tin can. Tie opened the can. It contained 80 pounds of pjacer gold, worth from $11,000 to $lf},0»>0. It was believed .
