As lie intended to leave on a fishing trip in a few hours, he parked his car in front of his house with the gasoline tank almost empty. At five, he arose, assebbled his tackle and went outside. The car was gone. So he started for an all-night drugstore to report the theft to the police, Within a block of his residence, he came , on his car parked at the curb. Not only was it undamaged, but the gasoline tank had been filled to capacity and on the back seat was a full five-gallon can. Also there was a spare wheel with a brand new tire. Whoever had taken the car had plainly made preparations for a long journey. But what brought about a change in plans my friend has been unable to find out. • • • Doubles: Here'* another , inator car story with court records as proof of authenticity: Weary from a long night of band leading, Teddy Powell was speeding home from New Jersey. Out of the shadows, sputtered a motorcycle and a cop edged the maestro over to the curb. "Honest," said Teddy, "I'm driving fast because I am tired and I want to get home. I'm Teddy Powell, band leader." "Oh, yeah?" responded thp--Qflicer. "We arrested the real TedSy just an hour ago." At the station, the truth came out. The trombonist in Powell's band, when stopped for fast driving, had given the name of the leader and had been released immediately. So the real Teddy Powell had to pay a double fine. What happened to the trombonist at rehearsal next day is not a part of the court records. • * • Mystery: Lillian Hellman, author of several hits including the current "Watch on the Rhine" and "The Little Foxes" of several seasons back, was the guest of honor at a cocktail party following a special pre-view of the movie version of the latter play.

"I've been wanting* especially to meet you. There is something I wish to aak you." "Yes?" inquired the playwright. "How do you manage to smoke through your veil withoqt burning it up?"

Dewey's office has high hopes of some day joining the propecutor's staff. Bred in the most elegant detective story manner he flippantly refers to machine guns as "typewriters" and bombs as "pineapples." When a tall, dark and well-dressed man carried a violin case into his car recently he immediately became suspicious and demanded to know what he had. The stranger obligingly opened the case and revealed a violin He was Richard Korn, Dewey'a former assistant, who gave up a career in law for one in music. • • • Safety First: The foregoing brings to mind Raymond Scott, band leader and composer of wacky works. He sent a package to his office with the label, "Infernal Machine." A hysterical secretary, glimpsing the label, promptly hurled the bundle out of the window. When Scott'showed up he was nettled no end to learn that the manuscript of his latest composition, "Infernal Machine" had been thrown aw'ay immediately on its arrival. He has made a resolution now to keep his staff informed of the tags he attaches to his compositions. • • • End Pteee: Having started with a yarn about a car, might as well finish up with one: Never having been there haven't had an opportunity to check, but Edward Trevor reports that in Sao Paulo, Brazil, motorists pay a fee each year to safeguard their autos against thieves and damage while parked. The driver hands over $1, a small metal tag is attached to the radiator and he is safe for the next 12 months. A special force of police is maintained by the city solely to protect automobiles bearing the tags. (Mi Syndicat*--WNU Sarvte*.)
