GEORGE W. HILL UNIQUE PERSON

| Tobacco Magnate is Physically and Mentally Alert

George W. Hill, jazz-boy of business, is high voltage America in person. That $1,200,000 bonus Hill draws today from his American Tobacco company isn’t a cmybal crash to his real significance. He hangs a derby hat, slightly cockeyed, on stuffed shirt Wall street and they take it and like it—when they see his annual report. On top of the $1,200,000, Wall street has figured out that the bonus plan will bring the smoking magnate about $1,008,000 more in cash for 1930—$2,200,000-a-year man is he. Hill is dapper, swagger and 46, synthetic, toasted, tanned by his ultra-violet rays, hot—and always bothered. His corporation tap dance is always two clicks ahead of his customers—and directors. He is as far-reaching as a bath brush. His flair carries all the stab of Broadway’s 500,000 watts on a wet-night. He’s Likened to a Light. What.” asked a friend of G. K. Chesterton, who was viewing Times square for the first time, “do you think of it?” Marvelous,” replied Chesterton, “if a man couldn’t read.” You don't read Hill; you listen to him, watch him. Today, for example, up at the National Broadcasting pompany studios, where each Saturday morning he puts his Lucky Strike dance orchestra through its paces. Hill and his tobacco colleague, his advertising experts and the broadcasting program directory take their places at. the long table in the directors’ room where the music is “piped” up to them. Pads and pencils are the appointments at each place. What you’re listening to is Hill’s big business blues. Hill sheds his overcoat, chucks a battered Borsalino into a vacant chair and takes another at the head of the table. The switch is turned. “Would You Like to Take a Walk?” The orchestra lams into it. “Too blue. I don’t like those pianos. Shove ’em back further. Make that rhythm snappier. Put some pep in the sticks.” Terse, snappy, acute. Hill’s entire response is emotional. He thinks, acts, tyreathes in headlines, slogans. The advertising copy of the American Tobacco company is said to be largely his. Nothing in promotional work goes out without his approval. He is said to have originated the phrase—“reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet”—while observing two girls at a railroad station, one a buxom lass eating candy; the other a lissome miss lighting a cigarette. It is a perfect characterization, since Hill’s entime viewpoint is the reconciliation of the phrase to the person. For these high-pressure humanizations that have put his cigarette in the van of smokers, Hill has just received a bonus of 13.440 shares of A. T. sock, equivalent to $1,200,000. This is above his unknown

salary.

He always has been identified with the promotional work of his company. An alumnus of Williams college, he joined the organization in 1904 in that department. Six years ago, at 41, he succeeded to the presidency upon the death of his father, Percival S. Hill. A year or so ago his 40-room house in Mamaroneck road, White Plains, where he lives, a widower, with Percival, 6, and Mary, 7, was destroyed by fire. The loss was estimated at $150,000. Hill cared little about thq mansion. What soured him most was the loss of his prized painting—“The Smugglers”—a canvas by Thomas Mor land—reprinted from The New York World-Telegram, Saturday, March 14. 1931.

QUEEN OF SIAM HAS WARDROBE

New Gowns Would Delight Women of Any Nation

Bangkok, Siam, March 21.—(UP) A stunning wardrobe that would be the delight of any woman in the world was packed in preparation for the departure today of Queen Rambaibarni, who will accompany King Prajadhipok to the United States. The queen’s gowns for the Americna trip have been selected entirely from French creations, but were made in Bangkok.A modiste, who has created some of the most fashionable costumes in the Parisian mode, made the entire wardrobe for the trip. The petite, attractive queen as well as the king is fond of occidental sports and there will be many sports costumes in the wardrobe. Both are enthusiqstice golfers and the queen’s score often is as good as the card turned in by King Prajadhipok. While in Siam, Queen Rambaibarni wears a graceful adaption of the Siamese national costume, and this as well as her charming manner and warm smile have endeared her to her subjects and to foreign residents of the capital. The King, a slender and handsome man, is going to America for

an operation for removal of a cataract from one eye, but he hopes to devote some time to his chief hobby—photography. The royal couple, who will be accompanied by Prince and Princess Svasti, the queen’s parents, will travel incognito but probably will attend formally certain functions in their honor in the United States in view of the century of friendship which has existed between the Siam and American governments. The royal party will sail down the Chao Phya river and thence to Hongkong on the motorship Selandia. They will visit Shanghai and Japan, then cross the Pacific ocean to Vancouver, arriving about April 9. They will continue immediately to Washington, but later will go to New York and will live on the Long Island estate of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, where the operation on the king’s eye probably will be performed. They expect to remain in America about five months

BIRTH CONTROL GETS APPROVAL

Protestant Churches En‘ dorse Contraceptive Methods

New York,'March 21—The “care^ ful and restrained” use of contra-’ ceptive measures to regulate the size of families was indorsed Friday by an organization made up of representatives of twenty-seven American Protestant churches having a total membership of approximately twenty-three million. The indorsement was given in a majority report on birth control submitted after several years of I study by the committee on marriage and the home of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. It was issued with the approval of the council’s administrative committee. The committee unanimously agreed that, because of economic considerations and, in many cases, the welfare of the mother, “there can be no question as to the necessity for some sort of effective control of the size of the family and the spacing of children.” Legislation Is Opposed The committee also agreed unanimously that, whatever the final decision of the church may be, “the church should not seek to impose its point of view as to the use of contraceptives upon the public by legislation or any other form of coercion, and especially should not seek to prohibit physicians from imparting such information to those who in the judgment of the medical profession are entitled to receive it.” sanction the use of contraceptive A minority, however, refused to measures and called upon the church, “when control of conception is necessary, to uphold the ideal.”

SPEEDING THE BONUS CHECKS: The Federal Government has borrowed this efficiency wrinkle, the Waterman Signagraph, from Big Business. Picture shows J. L. Petz, deputy disbursing clerk, signing fifteen veterans’ bonus checks with one stroke of the pen by means of the Signagraph, while George E. I jams, director of the Veterans’ Bureau, looks on admiringly. The instrument shown was especially designed for government use. Its big and little brothers range from the giant apparatus foe twenty checks to the small office size for five.
