It is grown in about 16 States, includ- ing Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and California. * ok *x x YOUTH OF A RACKETEER.

The two were in grade school to- gether. The gambler was large for his age and something of a bully. He conceived the idea of selling “protection” to the smaller boys not able to cope with the fists of their enemies. The idea grew and after a while he was collecting pennies, nickles or what have you not only from those who needed “protection,” but from those who found they must be pro- tected from the protector. * ok ox x NOT A HORN BLEW. NOT 80 long ago The Star broadcast over Station WJSV a .program designeu to show the futility, stupidity and danger of unnecessary blowing of automobile horns on Washington streets. It was one of the broadcasts featured in connection with The Star safety campaign. Yesterday Ted Church, WISV sta- tion marnager called us up to say he had decided the broadcast was a success. Here's why: He was driving east on Massa- chusetts avenue approaching the in- tersectior of Thirteenth street. Traf- fic was heavy and piled up in two lanes to wait for the light to turn green. Finally it did. But a man getting out of the car at the head of one lane paused with one foot on the running board to chat with the driver. The young couple in’the car at the head of the other lane picked that moment to enjoy ‘“love’s young dream” swith a tender kiss. The light was red again before these lead “mo- torists’” “drivers.” And—not a horn blew. SPECIAL ROOM NEEDED FOR SUMMER FURNITURE | Is Location—Sufficient Venti- lation Required.
