"Judge I beat a vagrancy charge one time It was in Oklahoma and we ran a gambling house. The law stepped in and told us to move on. We refused so they charged us with vagrancy and we hired a lawyer "We paid the lawyer $100 and he got us off--that is with a fine of $50 and 30 clays in jail.

(Photo by Sam Levitz) Phoenix Man One Of Aerial Gypsies Retail Trade Past Week Is Spotty And Declines Generally Jan. 14. Smnll stocks on store shelves helped hold retail trade volume this week barely even to as much as 4 per cent below a year ago, Dun Bradsti-cct estimated today.

The agency said stores holding clearance sales did better a average. Spring fashion promotions brought a satisfactory response, It added, with women's wear generally doing better than men's wear. The spotty volume reports, Dun Brndstreet said; were in comparison with the brisk buying of early 1942 when consumers were still filling anticipated needs. Regional percentage declines from year-ago totals were: East 5 to 8, Middle West and Pacific coast 6 to 8. Percentage increases were: New England 2, Northwest 4, South 3 to 5, and Southwest 5 to 7.

Wholesale demand was high. A sharp increase was noted in the number of out-of-town buyers in market centers. While retail buyers were anx- ous to replenish Inventories, they were declining to accept "Just anything" and instead sought out quality merchandise, the report said. Wholesale stocks, while called fairly ample, were small enough in some lines to necessitate allotment of goods. WEATHER Forecast for Tucson and vicinity: fair, little change in cmperature.

4. (Delayed) real Gypsies of this war are the transport fliers who operate aerial jitneys and flying freightcars in war theatres around the world. They are an. offhand, likeable crew. They wear anything from Brazilian to British battle dress They fly battered old planes that would give a civilian pilot the Sunday morning shudders and' they take 'them anywhere- on a' mo ment's notice.

There's been nothing quite like them since the barn storming days after the last war, They learn to know the air fields of two continents the way they used to know the streets of the old home town; and the is just a blue puddle they cross so often they almost can call the waves by name.

SP Loses Its Fight To End Train Limits Railroad's For Haying Case ReKeard Is Denied By Supreme Court I Jan. 14. Southern Pacific railroad's motion for of the 'State. supreme court decision affirming the of Arizona's train limit law has been by the high 'Court's action, announced yesterday, climaxed a jengthy legal fight by the railroads to have declared 'invalid the statute which restricts the length of freight and passenger trains dperated in the state.

Justice Henry D. Ross, who, was ill 'at 'the time the affirmation opinion was written by Justice R. C. Stanford with Justice A. G.

McAlister concurring, handed down his dissenting opinion yesterday. Says Law Purposeless He wrote that the- law has been without purpose sin.ce the improvement in rail service and equipment no longer made train limits necessary to the safety and health of rail workers. Further, the opinion continued, enforcement of the law has resulted in unnecessary costs and delay to the railroads without materially, benefiting the 'public. The authority to and enforce such legislation, he contended, lies solely within the right of congress. The case was appealed to the high tribunal by the state after Judge Levi S.

Udall, presiding.in Pirn county 'superior court, had declared the statute unconstitutional.
