Coyotes Holding
Lead in Drive for
New Ak Members
Jack Rabbits Expect to Stage
Comeback and Win Din
ner Which Is Stake
In Campaign.
The score:
Coyotes, 65 members. ,
Jack Rabbits, 32 members.
Thus did the rival Ak-Sar-Ben
member-getting teams stand at the
close of activities last night.
At stake in the drive is one good
dinner and the reputation of Ak-Sar-
Ben for never having a membership
sciuacic in us nisiory.
The losing team must buy the din
ner for the winners, but despite the
lead of the Coyotes, the Jack Rab
bits expect to stage a comeback, and
eat at their rival's expense.
But two and a half days remain
for the membership hustlers to gain
the desired number of new members.
The drive, which was started Tues
day noon .with 700 new members as
its objective, closes at 1 p. m. Satur
day. - "
Six hundred and three more mem
bers must be roped into King Ak's
realm before that time.
But Ak-Sar-Ben-ites are confident
the drive will succeed.

Mrs. Charlotte Catherine Mayo was saying between kisses when the above
photograph was made. Determined to leave her broker husband, Roy
Alfred Mayo, and determined, too, not to desert her 2-year-old daughter,
the mother had starred in a limousine kidnaping de luxe in New York City
with five private detectives to help her.
Following differences with her husband, Mrs. Mayo left him and con
sulted a lawyer. Later in the day she returned to her home in an automo
bile with detectives. The limousine, with engine running, waited outside.
On gaining admittance to the apartment, accompanied by the detectives,
Mrs. Mayo snatched up the child, made her way to the ground floor and
was whirled away in the auto."
