PROPHECY SECRETARY TELLS DOUGH- NUT SECRET Miss Gertrude Yunag, secre- tary to Ted Lewis, official Doughnut King, was today charged with selling a secret proc- ess to an unknown faction. Moreover, it is rumored that the Eleanor Strohm Bakery is about to introduce a similar doughnut on the market. Presi- dent Lewis confided that he thought up the process while sampling a few dozen of his products. NEWS-HAWK DAZED Ralph Turner, news-hound supreme, was today resting quietly in the Browning Hos- pital as the result of a severe shock. Turner, detailed to interview the chorus of the Fol- lies now in town, entered by mistake the Bide-a-wee Home for Aged Spinsters which was next door. In the ensuing rush. Turner was trampled. How- ever, his mental state is by far the most serious of his ailments. NOTED ART CRITIC TO LECTURE Mr. William Goldsmith, honor- ary president of the Women’s Wild P osey Preservation Society, will lecture in the townhall on ‘ The Importance of the Ameri- can Butterfly n Our Humdrum World. Mr. Goldsm th is be- ing entertained at the home of Miss Elizabeth Marston, presi- dent of the Ladies’ Auxiliary. PATROLMAN UNAFFECTED BY WILES OF CHARMING MOTORIST A sterling example of strict observation of duty was today exemplified by Patrolman Gru- ber of the city force. Miss Fladie Clements, the driver claimed her spieed was not ex- cessive, but Patrolman Gruber clocked her at eighty-seven m.p.h. Despite Miss Clements charming protests. Patrolman Gruber also charged her with driving without a license. DANCING SCHOOL TO OPEN Miss Flossie Clements an- nounced today that she would open a dancing school at the corner of The Pike and Sproul Road. Miss Moore will assist in Adagio dancing. It is rumored, however, that the Dancing School sounds more like a home for trumpet players than an institute of the light fantastic. AIR PILOT LANDS IN TROUBLE Pilot Howard Strohm, today, landed in a hot bed or hothouse of trouble. Engine trouble forced Strohm to make a landing on the Doughten Nursery. Mr. Dough ten alleges that Strohm’s plane ran the length of the field, destroyed valuable plants, and finally stopped in his hot-house. Mr. Doughten placed the case in the hands of his attorney. Miss Di Bonaventura the noted civil lawyer of New York. BUSINESS MAN IN PEN Mr. Thomas Blascnski, noted business man, was found today in the “pen” after an absence of two days. The pen, however, turned out not to be Sing Sing, but the Blascnski pig-pen. The unfortunate business magnate who fell into the pig-pen while building a hanging garden over it, was found by Gordon Byers, a landscape artist. When asked why he did not call out for help, Mr. Blascnski merely grunted. He is under the care of six doctors. We extend our sincere wishes for a speedy recovery. CARPENTERS HURT BY FALL Mr. Walter Green is today suffering from a broken arm as the result of a fall from the roof of a building on the Jones farm. Mr. Green, putt ng on the finishing touches to one of his well-known constellations, slipped and fell. Luckily he landed on his assistant Walter Dean. However, Dean was carrying a saw, upon which Green finally landed Mr. Green who has received numerous cushions from solici- tous friends, says it is useless to send them as the mantelpiece is his only solace.
