Thousands of seekers after health follow the syndicated writings of high-spirited, publicity-wise Dr. Logan Clendening (Modern Methods of Treatment, The Human Body, The Care & Feeding of Adults). Few of his readers know that Dr. Clendening lives in a residential section of Kansas City, Mo. (near Boss Tom Pendergast) and that ever since last October he has been subjected to a severe strain. Last week Dr. Clendening cracked under the strain, committed a savage infraction of the law.

Seven and one-half hours a day, six days a week, ever since October, WPAsters have been working on a sewer project 100 yards from Dr. Clendening's home. Building a sewer, as everyone knows, usually involves a lot of pneumatic drilling. One day last week the WPA foreman beheld Dr. Clendening approaching. He was brandishing an ax and shouting: "I'm going to stop this thing once and for all!"

Without pausing to remove hat & overcoat, portly Dr. Clendening strode around to the valve and feed pipe of the air-compressor supplying the pneumatic drills. Sock! Crack! went the ax. The drills fell silent, but not Dr. Clendening. At the marveling WPAsters he roared:

"Why not build your sewers in Omaha? Why curse me and torture me with your machines and your sewers? I say to you, this damned rat-a-tat-tat, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, must stop! And I am going to stop it!"

Police arrested Dr. Clendening for disturbing the peace, destroying Government property. After four hours in a cell, where he tried to smash the toilet, he was released in $1,000 bail. Cracked a patrolman: "Would you write me a piece some day, doctor, on the best methods of curing the jitters?"
