Camden, N. Friday, September 19, 1952 By Jake Weiner INSTALLMENT PLAN: Fiction has Sherlock Holmes. Radio has Sam Spade. TV has the Plainclothesman. And the Camden detective bureau -although it's keeping awfully quiet about it -has Harry "Barney" Tracy, Detective Tracy, you see, is a combination of all three fictional sleuths.

At least, he doesn't hesitate to tell you so. In fact, he modestly refers to himself as J. Edgar Hoover in sports clothes. And for unusual escapades, Detective Tracy can get mixed up in more "whodunits" than Agatha Christie, Mary Roberts Rinehart and Mickey. Spillane could turn out at a mystery writers' convention.

Take, for example, the sleuth's latest escapade. This week, our hero is working the 4 to midnight shift. Which means that at sometime during those eight hours he skips out for a bite to eat. This usually takes 30 minutes. On the first night he worked the shift, Tracy approached the bossman, Detective Sgt.

Bill Kelly, and asked: "Okay If I eat at 7 o'clock?" "Suit yourself," Kelly muttered as he continued working on a report. The next night, Tracy asked if he could eat at 7.30. Kelly didn't see anything unusual in the request. He again gave his consent. But on the third night, when Tracy asked if he could eat at 8 p.m., Kelly began to get puzzled.

Why was Tracy eating exactly one half an hour later each night? Kelly started to ask him, then shrugged it off, It was just a coincidence, he figured, and it wouldn't happen again. But on the fourth night, Tracy asked if he could eat at 8.30. That proved too much for the curious sergeant. "Why in thunder," he roared, "do you have to eat exactly one half hour later each night?" "Why, Sarge," Tracy replied calmly, "it's on account of the movie." "Movie?" Kelly exploded. "What movie?" "The movie across the street," Tracy replied casually.

Kelly just stared at him blankly. "You see," Tracy explained smoothly, "when I go out for dinner, I don't bother eating. Instead, I spend the 30 minutes in the movie. "So the next night, I have to come back a half an hour later so that I can pick up the show where I left off the night before." By this time, the burly sergeant felt weak and grabbed the desk for support. Unperturbed, Tracy continued: "So if I follow that routine four nights running then I get to see the entire show." Sergeant Kelly, to put it mildly, is still sputtering.

And if they ever need a detective over in Timbuetoo, it's a safe bet that Kelly will recommend Tracy for the job. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Merchantville's Ruth Hampton, the brunette beauty who was Miss New Jersey in the Miss Universe contest, has hit the jackpot. She's landed the feminine lead in a Hollywood film, soon to gO before the cameras. Her co-star in the boy girl department will be veteran actor Ronald Reagan. But here's the payoff: The title of the film is "Law and Order." Which should make the role a cinch for Ruth.

After all, she's used to it. Her father, Patrolman Ed Hampton, has been maintaining law and order in Merchantville for years.

NOAH WEBSTER BLUSHED: It happened Thursday in a suburban food market. Two women, doing their weekend shopping. stopped in front of the refrigerated vegetable case. Noticing that the huge glass mirror at the back of the case was clouded with moisture, one shopper mused: "What in the world causes that?" Before the produce clerk could explain, the other shopper said: "It's the humility." "It's the WHAT?" the startled clerk asked. "The humility," the woman replied, "you know the stuff the weatherman always talks about." The clerk swallowed hard, but didn't attempt to correct her.

After all, he didn't want to "humidiate" her.
