BUS MIRRORS FAILURES Too Many Pnssengem Override Stops or Fall to Street. LONDON (N.AN.A.).—To ride in one of London’s newest busses is almost like going out in one’s own daimler or Timousine, so smooth is the running, so luxurious are the seats, so rapid (except in traffic blocks) the progress. When the busses were first put on the strects a week or so ago the back of each lounge seat wos adorned with 8 large mirror which delighted the hearts of the smart young things of both sexes who happened to be sitting behind. So interesting was it to put the fin- ishing touches to one’s complexion or one’s tie that stopping places were forgotten, or, if one did remember where to get out, that last lingering glance in the mirror as one was get- ting off proved so alluring that one quite forgot the step. In the end the conductor got so tired of picking up casualties that the mirrors have been removed. and there is desolation in many youthful hearts.

TAMPA, Fla, June 28 — Eating watermelons in 189! and paying IDT them in 1930 may be the special prerog- ative of the United States Government, but by reason of that fact Warren C. Vesta, negro janitor of the Federal Building here, stands to collect $75 he robably never would have seen if the ill had been paid on time. During the Spanish-American War, ‘Warren’s father raised fine watermelons. American soldiers partook freely of the melons, but neglected at times to pay for them. Recently Government mathematicians, taking into consideration the economic changes of the past 32 years, valued the “borrowed” watermelons at $150. Yesterday the Senate upheld their Judgement by authorizing payment of that amount to surviving members of the Vesta family. The House had passed the measure previously and it remains for President Hoover to give his sanction to the watermelon bill. If he signs it, Warren will get half of the money and his brother Isaiah. 8 preacher of Dayton, Ohio, will get the other half.
