Order

In Manhattan, gaunt, long-faced Edith Hanson, 39, casually drank five free bottles of beer and borrowed $10 from Delicatessen Owners Robert Wolf and Alfred Wolitsky in the course of ordering 125 corned beef sandwiches, 50 liverwurst sandwiches ("peeled"), 75 limburger sandwiches ("smeared thin"), 150 turkey sandwiches (white meat) to be delivered within six hours to Welfare Island's hospital prison, as well as a standing weekly order of 350 shrimp salads and 600 coleslaw salads. Delicatesseners Wolf and Wolitsky, their suspicions aroused on the ground that "sick people don't eat coleslaw," investigated, discovered that Miss Hanson had no connection with Welfare Island and no money, had her arrested for disorderly conduct.

Tired

In Long Valley, N. J., arrested for peeking at nudists sunning themselves in a camp next to his farm, William Searles invited 150 neighbors to watch the nudists from his property, complained: "Why, there was only two good looking girls in the lot and they would have looked a lot better if they had had their dresses on. One woman weighed 300 lb. anyway. . . . There's nothing pretty about a naked woman. . . .

"I didn't charge my neighbors any admission fee. Anyone's free to come and take a look that wants to, and if the nudists board up the fence, I'm going to build an observation tower 60 ft. high. What I want to do is to break up these indecent goings-on. I've got tired of looking over there and any way I look finding my eyes resting on a naked man or woman."

Safe

In The Bronx, Mrs. Jeannette Ranola, 27, mother of three, was arrested on the charge of having stolen a 75-lb. steel safe from Frank Werner, carried it down five flights of stairs to a taxi, up four flights to her own apartment, then down again and by subway to a friend's apartment where she broke it open.

Joke

At The Dalles, Ore. American Legion State Convention, when Legionaries put on a burlesque hula-hula dance in costume, a bystander playfully poked a lighted match into Legionary Olaf Nelson's grass skirt. The skirt blazed briskly. Olaf Nelson ran screaming from the platform, died.

Ultimatum

In Kansas City, Mo. newspapers, James W. Stobaugh advertised: "TO WILD DRIVERS. I no longer shall make my car jump sideways, backwards, do flip-flop curves, etc. to get out of the way. If you see Missouri 3-167 coming down the street just keep in your proper place and you will have no broken headlights, smashed fenders or broken windows. My nerves are worn to a frazzle."
