"TIME brings all things."

Spat

In Manhattan, a woman asked a Union News employe at the Pennsylvania Depot for information about a train. When he said he did not know, she spat in his face. He retaliated.

Cigaret

In Fairfield, Conn. John Vargo, who had sworn off tobacco for 38 years, accepted a cigaret from a friend, smoked it while he drove home. The smoke got in his eyes. He lost control of the automobile, ran off the road, was taken to the hospital with three broken ribs, a bruised head.

Taxpayer

In New York City, Cobbler Chris Listakis agreed to lend a stranger $60 to pay the tax on $900 worth of tobacco which he said the Government was withholding from him. The stranger told him to bring the money to an address on Centre Street which he described as ''the Government tax building." Listakis arrived with the money, gave it to the tobacconist, sat down against a carved lion while his friend went inside for the "release papers.'' He waited a half-hour, grew exasperated, went inside. "Could you tell me," he asked a uniformed officer, "where is the place that you pay taxes on tobacco?" Said the officer: "What do you want to pay taxes for in Police Headquarters?" The shrewd swindler was gone.

Shirts

In Manhattan, Albert Mailloux and George Beauchamp delivered a truckload of shirts to Dresswell Shirts, Inc. As they waited for the store to open, a coupe drew up behind them, then sped away. Mailloux smelled smoke, ran to the rear of the truck, found a sizzling bomb planted in the shirts. He grabbed it, hurled it to the sidewalk. It landed at the feet of Bystander Bernard Witt, exploded, blew him into the air, broke his leg.

Song

In Montreal, Louis Philippe Sauvageau, jobless longshoreman exhilarated by summer sunshine, singing birds, green grass, strolled down St. James Street singing ''Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" As he launched into the chorus a constable approached, listened, arrested him for begging without a permit.

Nose

In Oklahoma City, Okla., George T. Nichols' infected nose swelled to twice its normal size. Claiming the infection was caused by a shaving brush he had bought at a local store, he sued the store for $50,000. Said he: "It is a great humiliation to carry around an infected nose; no one can feel frank and free with his family and friends under such conditions."
