Across several cities the Associated Press reports odd notes from prisons and public life. In Kansas State Penitentiary inmates will receive Christmas sweaters only in subdued colors to avoid jealousy among prisoners. At Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh John J. Uetz describes opera-goers discarding gum, cigarette butts, and torn paper in the balcony. In Chicago 147000 Americans use artificial limbs, with 2000 of 3000 workers in the industry wearing them. In Leavenworth prisoners may hang stockings but receive no presents, as many are narcotics violators and authorities fear smuggling dope. In Oakland police note a man named Winston Whiteside aided a cab overheard by patrolmen, leading to the arrest of Charles Hall for holding up a drugstore with a toy gun.
