suspended.
Autos Out of Use
It was possbile before the

Pianist Tickles
Key on Piano
Bugs Tickle Him
NEW YORK, (AP)—Jan Smet
er.lin. young though baldish pian
ist from Poland,spent a good deal
of time burshing insects from the
keyboard while touring this fall
in Java and Sumatra.
Sometimes he couldn’t see the
keys, he declares, for the insect
corpses. And at his first recital
he almost ran from the stage
when the flying foxes began cir
cling around him.
“By the time I finished my
tour,” says he, “a piano without
lizards crawling over it didn’t
look natural. But I grew to like
the flying foxes because they ate
large quantities of the mosquitoes
which fill the concert halls.”
