French Impose
Embargo War
Supply Imports
SHANGHAI. Nov. 11 (^i—Am
erican firms in Shanghai receiv
ed reports that French authorit
ies in Indo China had imposed
an embargo against the importa
tion of war supplies destined for
China. The embrago was under
taken to remove friction with
Japan and includes trucks and
spare motor parts. The closing
of the Indo China route serious
ly cripples the Chinese defenses
since the only other remaining
import routes would be through
Burma with a long overland haul
also from Soviet Russia into
northwestern China.

GUN GALS IN BIG CITY
LIKE MEN IN UNIFORM
I
—
.CHICAGO, Nov. — Annie Gal
bavy dropped around to the
Shakespeare Avenue police sta
. tion and allowed as how she was
looking for her sister, Mary, a
two-gun gal and as good a cow
hand as any man in Box Elder,
Mont.
But Chicago wasn’t the purple
sage country and Annie was wor
ried. You see—
Mary has a weakness for uni
forms.
It was two months ago that
Annie. 25. and Mary, 19, came to
Chicago from the great open
'spaces. They could handle them
selves out there. They could ride
like they were part of the horse.
With a six-gun they could shoot
from either hip and stop a coy
ote at 300 paces. But Chicago,
somehow, was different.
The girls came here, Annie
said, to rescue their ma and pa—
John and Susie—and take them
back to the 800-acre D-Diamond
I ranch where they belonged,
j They were out together last
Tuesday when Mary clapped her
|eyes on the man in uniform.
“She began makin’ eyes at him
right there," Annie said. “It did
n’t make any difference that it
i was only a night watchman’s uni
! form."
) “We got acquainted and pretty
I soon he asked us into a tavern
for some suds. Mary had a couple
of schooners and then she and
this brass-buttoned watchman
disappeared. I haven’t seen Mary
! since.”
Police located the watchman.
He said he hadn’t seen Mary, eith
;er. that she left him at the tav
; ern and told him she was going
home—to John and Susie.
Officers reprimanded Annie
gently.
“But Annie,” they said, "know
ing Mary's weakness, how did
you happen to let her out of your
sight in that tavern?”
Annie blushed.
“Why,” she said, “there was a
fine-looking policeman on the
corner and I stepped out to pass
<the time of day with him. “I’ve
got a sort of hankering for uni-!
forms myself.”

MONEY THEN SEE ’
WHAT TROUBLE IS
| OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. —
Don Hoover, executive secretary
' of the Oklahoma City Dairy
Council, almost went to jail for
trying to give away money.
He was assigned by the council
! to give 600 one dollar bills to 600
housewives. His job was to call
at homes, inquire if the lady of
j the house had a bottle of butter
milk in the ice box and if she did
> to hand her a $1 bill. The idea
was to stimulate buttermilk sal
es.
Hoover reported that a num
ber of housewives rejected t'he
dollar with the statement “there
: must be a catch to it." But one
i slammed the door in his face.
When Hoover was several
houses away, the police radio pa
trol car drew up to the curb and
two officers stepped out to ques
tion him. The woman down the
street had reported there was “a
crazy man on my porch.”
