SLIGHT FAMILY RESEMBLANCE . . . It’s difficult to decide from
this picture which of the two is the more proud—David Corn because
he looks like his son, William, or little William because he looks so
much like Pop.
UNSCHEDULED EXHIBIT ... To Harry Marrison, his wife and
their two and a half-year-old daughter, Judy, the international textile
exposition at Grand Central Palace in New York offered a chance to
set up temporary living quarters in one of the tents on display.
Presence of the family in their cozy retreat made special officers
Charles Beekman and Carmine Caruso do a quick double-take when
they discovered the set-up.

Bangert is getting her lawn mowed
all summer by a not too willing boy

the right to string a toy telephone

soil losses of 10 tons or more to the

May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry,
irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec-
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidneys. They are apt to become
over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some-
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.
Try Doan’s Pitts. Doan’s help, the
kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
century of public approval. Are recom-
mended by grateful users everywhere.

Insoluble Grit Aids
Chicken’s Digestion
Some insoluble grit, usually gran-
ite or river gravel, will be eaten by
hens if it is available. It assists
the gizzard in grinding grains and
, coarse feeds that might cause im-
paction of the digestive tract. Fine
ground feed can be digested satis-
factorily without grit being avail-
able. Oyster shell and limestone
rock particles sometimes are used
as grit but the digestive juices break
these down rapidly and thus make
an excess of calcium available. Grit
commonly is kept before hens at all
times, although some producers pre-
fer to feed it at intervals of 10 days
to two weeks.

Value of Food Depends
On Mineral Fertility
“We are what we eat” and “what
we eat depends on the soil that pro-
duces it,” declares Dr. William A.
Albrecht, University of Missouri.
“Human health troubles often
come from poor nutrition which
weakens the body. With its de-
fenses down the body is less able
to resist the attacks of bacteria and
other forces.”
“Foods from some soils provide
only fuel for energy, other soils sup-
port crops that carry something
‘extra’—body building materials.
Where rainfall is • high and where
virgin forests once covered the land,
plants are barely able to put togeth-
er any more than fuel foods for
themselves and animals. Properly
managed with lime, fertilizers and
legumes, these soils can be built
to put into crops these body build-
ing values.

hard wheat belt, the former buffalo

ing down criminals in its relentless
drive against law violators. Files on
nicknames, palm prints, footprints
and general appearance data are
maintained by the FBI for identifi-
cation purposes to supplement its
collection of fingerprints, largest in
the world.
Indicative of the FBI’s thorough
and systematic effort to maintain
complete data on members of the
underworld mob, the file contained
469,515 nicknames at the start of the
year. During the past year 47,580
nicknames were added to the list.
Although an individual may
change his real name many
times, as a general rule his
nickname sticks, FBI agents
point out in emphasizing the ef-
fectiveness of this means of
identification. This has been
found particularly true in cases
involving check forgers, imper-
sonators and extortionists.
The women have no corner on the
unique nicknames found in FBI
files. Also included in this category
are such cognomens as “Alibi Good
Kid,” “Am I Blue,” “Barrell House
Shorty,” “Beef Stake Bob,” “Blue
Shirt Slim,” “Chew Tobacco
Lewie,” “Gold - Tooth Frenchy,”
“Liver ’Lip,” “Sweet Cakes” and
“Whoop Em Up Willie.”
Notorious public enemies of the
1930s are recognized more often by
their nicknames than their true
names. The given name of “Baby-
face” Nelson was Lester M. Gillis.
“The Owl” was in actuality Basil
Hugh Banghart. "Pollynose"' Kator,
a member of the Touhy gang, was

These probably aren’t the type of nicknames which the typical
American woman would choose for herself, but they are among
the colorful and unusual appellations by which female characters
of the underworld are known.
Girl Scouts have taken to the
air in a big way. More than
5,000 Girl Scouts receive pre-
' flight training and flight experi-
' ence as members of 315 Wing
Scout troops in 42 states and
Hawaii. “Wing Scout” is the
name of the organization’s own
Cub plane, presented to them by
William T. Piper. It is the only
airplane owned and used by a
national youth-serving agency.

Civic Cooperation
Climaxing an unprecedented ex-
ample of practical cooperation be-
tween two cities, dedication cere-
monies were held for the joint mu-
nicipal airport at Arkansas City and
Winfield, Kas. The two progressive
communities in a rich oil and agri-
cultural belt of southeastern Kansas
buried the hatchet to acquire Stro-
ther field, former AAF fighter train-
ing base, as a joint project in Au-
gust, 1946. Facilities offered by the
field permitted the two cities to se-
cure a new industry, the Fairchild
personal planes division.
Gov. Frank Carlson of Kansas
made the dedicatory address' at a
program which featured an elabo-
rate air fair. Starting with a dawn
patrol breakfast, the day’s program
included an exhibition and demon-
stration of personal planes, military
aviation display, model airplane
demonstration, flights by women
pilots and fliers over the age of 40,
parade and trap shoot.

Fliers ’from several Midwestern
states participated in the first all-
Upper Peninsula tour conducted un-
der auspices of the Michigan state
department of aeronautics. The
flight covered 289 miles, stops being
made at eight cities. . . . Ten char-
ter members have signed up for the
recently-organized Decorah Flying
club at Decorah, Iowa. The club
has purchased an Aeronca Chief
plane. . . . Dedication services for
the new Worthington, Minn., airport
are scheduled July 5 and 6. More
than 120 private plane owners have
been invited to participate in the
ceremonies. . . . Plans for a series
of district meetings and flight
breakfasts were perfected at the an,
nual meeting of Flying Farmers of
Iowa, held at the Ames municipal
airport. The statewide organization,
founded March 18, 1946, at a meet-
ing on the Iowa State college cam-
pus, now numbers more than 500
members from some 70 counties.

Aerial Detective
Mark up another use for the air-
plane in agriculture.
W. V. Allington, plant pathologist
of the department of agriculture, is
using an aerial survey to spot evi-
dence of a fungus disease—brown
stem rot—that is reducing soybean
yields in the Midwest.
Allington, who is stationed at the
regional soybean laboratory at Ur-
bana, Ill., uses his privately-owned
plane to make aerial photographs
of soybean acreage over a wide
area. In the pictures, plants in in-
fected fields show up much lighter
in color than those in non-infected
fields. By comparing his aerial pic-
tures with road maps, Allington lo-
cates the fields where the fungus in-
fection appears to be most serious.

monly known as “Black” Roger.
Joseph Raymond Negri, associate
of “Babyface” Nelson was dubbed
“Fatso.”
Members of the Barker-Karpis
gang also had their nicknames.
“Ma” Barker was the name ac-
corded Kate Barker by her sons
and their underworld pals. Arthur
Barker was known as “Doc.” Alvin
Karpis was nicknamed “Old
Creepy” because of his cold stare
and precision in carrying out his
crimes. Charles Arthur Floyd was
widely known as “Pretty Boy.”
A criminal may receive a nick-
name because of some physical
characteristic, unusual personality
trait or criminal specialty. “Cock-
eye Mary” was labeled as such by
her underworld pals because of her
facial appearance. Another crimi-
nal’s extensive vocabulary prompt-
ed the nickname of “Dictionary.”
“Sweet Lips” did not live up
to his name, FBI agents ascer-
taining that he had been in cus-
tody of police several times for
offenses ranging from vagrancy
through counterfeiting. The
nickname, “Wildflower,” also
proved misleading. The individ-
ual bearing that name was ar-
rested for assault.
In many instances law enforce-
ment agencies will have little, if
any, information about a wanted
criminal except perhaps a nick-
name and a smattering of descrip-
tive data. When this information is
forwarded to the FBI, a search
through the nickname file some-
times results in an identification.
“Kentucky Red” was the only
name known for an individual who
was selling drugs in New York City.
FBI nickname files furnished his
correct name, descriptive data and
his whereabouts at the time.
Nicknames have not been con-
fined to the criminal element. “Ma-
chine Gun” Kelly originated a nick-
name for the special agents of the
FBI when they apprehended him in
a dawn raid at Memphis, Tenn., on
September 26, 1933. “Don’t shoot,
G-men, don’t shoot!” he cried.
This name caught the fancy of the
public as well as that of the under-
world. To this day FBI agents are
known as “G-men.”
