FROM DEFENDANT
TO CAPITALIST
Dave Broderick’s Propserity
Dates From Day He „Wa*
Haled Into Police
Court and Fined
It was the luckiest day of
Dave Broderick’s life when on
a disturbance of the peace
charge, he was haled before
Justice Piper in the Niagara
Falls, N. Y., police court and
sentenced to pay $12 weekly
for six monthp.
Dave looked agast and said
it simply “could not be did.”
“Alright,” said the judge,
“six months on the rock pile
for yours,” and he adjusted
his spectacles, dipped his pen
in ink and started to write.
David, the defendant did
som tall thinking and he did
it quickly. “Six months at the
works,” he ruminated, “and
not a cent of pay! And this old
codger says that for me if 1
do not buy $12 worth of War
Savings Stamps every week for
six months—26 weeks. That
guy was right—life is just one
darn thing after another But
I reckon it is best to lose $12
per week than $30.
So Dave halted the court.
“Alright, yer honor, I give
raw/4
up." 'Til buy War Savings
Stamps.”
Judge Piper smiled grimly
when he outlined thp process
which required that payments
be made promptly, failure of
which meant the work and
when final payment was made
Dave was to get W. S. S. for
ithe full amount he had paid in.
{ When the six months had
elapsed, Dave again said ‘good
morning’ to the judge. Butt
this time he entered a volun
tary appearance.
“Judge, yer honor,” said
Dave, no longer avdefendant,
you sure did me a favor when
you sentenced me to pay that
$12 per week. I did not be
lieve I could save a dollar a
week. But I got through and
now I see I have enough to
make first payment on the
home that me and thp old wo
man have wanted ever since
we married. And now I sen
tence myself to buy $10 a week
of the same War Savings
Stamps until we get the house
paid for.”
Police judges in other cities
are trying out Judge Piper’s
plan and it is found workable
everywhere.
Mayor W. B. Fakes went to
