The Case of tbe E String.
LONDON, May 17 (UP)—Amer-
ican violinist Bronislav Gimpel
was saved by fellow musicians in
the audience when his ”E” string
broke in the middle of pastoral
dance by Rathaus at a Wigmore
Hall concert.
When he asked the audience if |
anyone had a violin to spare, six
violinists dashed out to the cloak-
room and brought back their in-
struments.
Gimpel selected one and contin-
ued the number.
When cotton could not be obtain-
ed from the South during the Civil
War. large amounts of it were
Gyp Artists At Work
On Texas Housewives
The Better Business Bureau of
San Antonio lists the fact that
several housewives were gyped by
magazine salesmen, according to
the local Chamber of Commerce.
One advertiser, Lutin Natural
Color Studio of Los Angeles, ad
vertises an introductory coupon
which entitles the purchaser to a
natural color portrait for $2.00.
The work returned has been un-
satisfactory and very poor. Work
sent back for proper workmanship
was returned in no better shape.
Another piece of advice they
give is not to buy air conditioning
units except from a duly authori-
zed factory dealer. They are the
only ones impowered to back up
the factory guarantees. Be sure
you buy from a reputable dealer,
the C of C spokesman said.
Another racket that takes good
money for poor work is the itiner-
ant termite eradicator. His office
is usually in his truck and is gone
and can not be located when you
find out he did a poor job. Your
local termite control people are
here and can be found in the event
they overlooked doing a proper
job.
Another thing that the Texans
have fallen for is the ordering by
mail of tax free cigarettes. There
is a fine for both the purchaser and
the seller for such cigarettes.
