Dingwall's Derby

Circulation managers who thought they had tried almost every kind of subscription contest scratched their heads and whistled as they read a United Press dispatch from Miami last week. Up before U. S. Commissioner Roger Edward Davis went one John Howard Dingwall, 40, who has toured the East in a trailer with four young girls and a 29-year-old "chaperone." The girls sold subscriptions for assorted magazines and turned in their orders to Dingwall. How he rewarded them was thus described by Crew Member Lucy Kitteridge, 18:

"I found out that the highest salesgirl of that day became his companion that night. At St. Augustine, I was informed that it was my turn to make up Dingwall's bed," which meant, added candid Miss Kitteridge, that she was also to sleep in it. Three times, she added, she had been "high girl" before Federal agents nabbed Promoter Dingwall and his trailerful of subscription hustlers.
