Man Dies After Kidnaping, Robbery SAYS, Old Mother India evidently has another one of those mysteries on her hands, when you read that an American doctor is offered. $100,000 if he can cure an Indian millionaire who hasn't been able to sleep in three years. Well, he could save himpelf a lot of money if he'd buy a good radio, and tune in on these American campaign speeches. In this country, the modern way of inducing sleep is to a WPA shovel in front of the patient's eyes. Naturally, not-having much use for beds, he's probably the fellow who donates all those to Mahatma Ghandt.

However, his offer of $50,000, for even temporary at least prove successful. At those prices, even Joe touis would be interested. Of course, I hope the newspapers got this story from reliable sources. After all, you know what fakirs those Hindus are.
