Judge John Keogh declared; that
pert who had installed that device to
save paper.
Then the conductor explained the
true reason. lyhad been found
that certain fifty-trip tickets came
into the office of the railroad com-
pany punched twice in each square.
Patrons of the road were catching
the fragments from the punch. past-
ing them back into the holes .rom
which they came. and getting two
rides for the price of one. Thus
was born the cupped pinch.
Petty thievery is most ingenious
and crops up in all manner of
strange places. Such insanity turn-
ed toward legitimate channels
would surely advance the inventive
record of the American people. Lead
nickel in the telephone slot or the
subway turnstile. Now, magnetic
and maynifying devices make this
game a precarious one at best. Be-
fore that. subway riders would at-
tach their ticket to a rubber band
about the forearm. The ticket ap-
parently went into the receptacle at
the gate. but actually hopped .up the
sleeve of the rider. to be used'again.
The petty that: is one of the chief
causes of worry to those that deal
with the public. And, of course,
the honest public pays in the in-
creased cost of goods or service.
