Retaliation. In Palermo, Sicily, street cleaners who were denied a wage boost toured the town redistributing the garbage they had collected the day before.

Example. In London, the British Anti-Woman Society (which deplores woman's effect on industry and men's morals) was shaken to its foundations when its 32-year-old firebrand president, Fred Wormull, was discovered meekly doing the dishes; he admitted that he had been married for the last two months.

Request. In Idaho Falls, Idaho, a lady requested the sanitation department to do a little rummaging through the city's collection of refuse; she badly needed the three needles accidentally dropped in her garbage can.

Old, Sweet Song. In Washington, D.C., when cops arrested George Munson while he was thrashing Lillian May Barrett, he explained: "I wanted to find out if we were still engaged." In Detroit, Romeo St. Amour was taken to jail after shellacking wife Juliet.

Withdrawals. In Manhattan, C.P.A. Lester A. Pratt, a serious student, divulged* that: 1) there are 210 ways to crack a bank without gun or dynamite; 2) bank officials and the help get away with $2 to $6 million a year; 3) 65% soon get caught--if they keep on working the same bank.
