In Memoriam. In Chester, S.C., J. Foster Carter, happy that the U.S. at last contained a monument to Adam to match Paragraphist Robert Quillan's Fountain Inn, S.C., memorial to Eve, looked upon the adornment to his front yard, said that it was good (see cut).
Dog's Due. In Denver, Colorado Attorney General Gail Ireland ruled that before being condemned to death a vicious dog was entitled to trial by jury.
Story. In Shreveport, La., C. E. Whitney returned from nearby Cross Lake with a fish story: on one cast he caught five catfish. Someone had lost a string of five, and one of the five went for Whitney's worm.
Seats. In Denver, Highway Police Supervisor Joseph Marsa, faced with the fact that the department had no money to repair the force's thinning trouser seats, said his men might soon be forced to "call politely out of the car window to traffic violators."
Headache. In Philadelphia, Detective Clifford Del Rossi looked over the headache machine which he found smoking in the home of Mrs. Pearl Haines, Negro. Inside the plaster-sheathed contraption, for which Mrs. Haines paid $5, he found: an alarm clock, a thermometer, an electric motor operating a glass-encased eggbeater.
Differential. In Hollywood, where studios were making many a war scene, extras who had to wear German uniforms demanded and got higher pay.
Suit. At Spread Eagle, Wis., a prostitute filed an application for compensation under the State Workmen's Compensation Law for injuries received while feeding the house dog at the orders of her madame.
