The study showed that only Jive ijf the 37 communities tabulated paid as niurh sis of their 1 rehff bills in 1934 and that many of the largest cities made virtually no attempt to pay any part of the cast of supporting their poor. was revealed as the most self-supporting ot American paying 6 9 per cent of a $25,000,000 relief bill over 21 months. San Francisco, which shouldered 53 per cent of its burden, and Oakland, paying 48.6 per cent, were second and third in that respect.

Betters Interpreted his figures to mean, however, that the spent by the 37 largest cities between Jan. 1, 1933, and Sept. 30. 1934, is evidence that "our cities have tried to do their part." New York City stood head and shoulders above communities of rnmparablo size in its efforts to aid its own destitute citizens.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION even now back in England completing the work of liquidating ar.d partitioning the fabulous Drake estate. Throughout; the Dakotas. Iowa and Wisconsin the scenes of Han-sell's gigantic swindle the "Xaith-ful" continued to repose their confidence in the smoothest, confidence man of the decade. HartzcU's fraudulent scheme, the reports said, still was in operation, despite the fact that its originator is in prison.

With Just a few more contributions from his sheep, this shepherd of the fabled Drake millions will be ready to pay $1,000 for $1 to who have been persuaded they are heirs to the celebrated buccaneer's ill-gotten wealth. That Is the word from Iowa, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. WHILE HE CIU'CKLEH Here is the word from Warden Zcrbst. uttered while he chuckled: "He's still here, all right. When wc take a prisoner we make it a custom to keep him.

Why, we haven't even had an escape from the prison farm for 18 months, and during the pa.st several years all the trustees who wandered away have been returned." Reports that a "substitute" was t-erving HarUeli's term while Hartzell was at liberty struck the warden as too silly to deserve a denial. "I don't think we need go into that," he said. Prison authorities at present are undecided what to set for Hartzell. He has established something of a reputation in the prison as a cigar smoker. He spends much of his time and considerable of his money at the cigar counter.

It may be that, there is where ho will find his niche behind a counter taking nickels and dimes instead of behind a. desk removing currency and money orders from envelopes. Or he may be posted In the men's hall, dishing it out instead of taking It In. The kitchen, the shoe factory and the prison hospital are other possibilities. Hartzell is learning that 'prison life is the same for all prisoners, no matter what their previous affluence.

When he arrived at. Leavenworth he asked if he could go to the prison In a TIME TO RECOVER "Your taxicab days are over," United States Marshal Steve Cusack told him, "We'll go in a truck." "But I might catch a cold." Hart-fell complained to the officer who brought him here from Chicago, "You'll have plenty of time to get over It," Cusack assured him. The self-styled executor expansively Informed prison officials that "I won't be here long." He blandly told Cusack that "I may pet a pres-. idential pardon; you'll more than likely get orders to take me back with you before we get inside." That a month ago and Hartzell still Is "inside." The liquidation of the Drake estate, prison autJiori-lies indicated gleefully, will have to be postxiifd at least until Jan, 16. the clay on which Hartzell will have liquidated his debt to Uncle Sum.
