But Temperamental Star Nicks Hubby’s Roll for S3OO a Month By International Illustrated News New York. —There seems to be something about the artistic temperament which all too frequently is unsuited to happy married life. Even one temperamental member of the family is enough to cause friction; and when there are two —-well, ‘‘explosion" is a mode descriptive word. That is what seems to have happened in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Richman. Mr. Richman is a successful playwright, whose biggest success was his play. “Ambush," 'which was produced both here and in England. Before the London r’odncticn opened three years ago. Madeline Marshall became Mrs. Arthur Richman and thereafter starred in her husband's play.

a son was born to them. It appeared that the aetress and playwright had settled down to an uneventful married life—then Arthur Richman raised the curtain on a domestic thriller that had it • 11 oter his stage creations. Nevertheless his. beautiful wife was in the “star" role. It all began when a notice appeared in the papers to the effect that Mr. Richman would no longer be responsible for his wife’s bills, she having left his bed and board at No. 1054 Park avenue. But that was just the prologue; the big scene occurred when Madeline Marshall Richman ambushed the author of “Ambush” in the apartment of an unidentified woman. She claimed that she found her there, imperfectly concealed beneath a crumpled sheet.

Author of “Ambush" Tells How He Tried to Mix Love and Career an income of $30,000 a year, and that he could therefore support her and her child in the manner to which they had l>een accustomed. In retaliating for this attack upon his pocketbook, the playwright declared that his wife was a “tigress” to whom lie was afraid to entrust the custody of his son. His income, he said, was nowhere near $30,000 a year; he placed it less than a third of that sum. The court listened gravely, nodded profoundly and. after attorneys for both had finished, set the beautiful Mrs. Richman'* monthly alimony at S3OO.

New Herbert Hoover «• * .* h -' " c Herbert Hoover recently arrived in Chicago unheralded and trticheered. Or perhaps he was cheered, in a Ismail way. by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jose Ward Hoover, who welcomed him at the hospital and were j quick to lake advantage of his sex by naming him after the Republican presidential candidate. Here is little Herbert lost in dreams of things that even a President could not under’ stand. ARMY BOMBERS" DEVELOPED FOR DEADLY FLYING Langley Field. Va., Sept. 24 —(U.R) — Bombing airplanes the greatest enemv of communications and supply services in wartime, are aide to fly more and more surely in fog and darkness. Perfected and prospective develop- | ments of flying load, speed and navl- | gation devices in large airplanes have ! transformed the bombing plane from an unweildly "crate" dropping a few “eggs" 100 or 200 miles from its base into a major weapon of warfare, according to air corps officers who are leading in this branch of national defense research here. New planes which the army will j have next year will be able to carry ] a ton or more of bombs 16,000 feet,— | more than three miles —up in the air. carry them from 200 to 300 miles ami drop them. The present planes cannot operate much higher than two miles. The additional altitude will enable them more easily to dodge the “arch-ies”—anti-aircraft guns. Radio beacons, gyrescopic controls, new compasses and indications, and possihy even a fog or smoke disseminating device to clear away artificial or natural'barriers to vision of the airman's target, are likely to be used in the wars of the future, the military prophets foresee. With such devices, a group of bombers could set out high above the clouds or at night and fly unseen to their destination, never descending once to locate their course or to betry themselver to enemy scouts. Then a fog disseminator could clear away the vision for a tremendous attack, before defending planes could leave the earth to repel it. One of the most vaunted defenses against bombers, a very delicate “mechanical ear,” can be rendered totally ineffective by the process of rending a single scout plane flying close to the earth nearby. The noise of the nearer plane prevents the microphone mechanism from ascertaining the exact direction of the approaching bombers according to flying men. The war department has refrained from controversy with recent claims of ordinance experts that “archie has kept up with the airplane," but any individual flyer will say privately that the situation is far to the contrary. o States With Large Farms Texas Ims the most large farms, 2.43!) farms of 5,000 acres or more.

NATURE FACES BIG SCHEDULE IN NOVEMBER Washinghon Sept. 24—(U.R) —A showet of meteors as well as a shower of votes is due in November. Astronomers will be mote busy that the politicains. An eclipse of the moon is coming Nov. 27 ami will be visible in North and South America, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Australia, the western and nothern extremeties of Europe and part of eastern Asia. The total phase will last nearly one hour. The moon will first come in contact with the umbral shadow of the earth at 2:24 A. M., E. S. T.. when the partial phase begins, according to a bulletin by the American Nature Association. It will pass deeper and deeper into it until it becomes entirely immersed in it at 3:33. This is the beginning of a total eclipse which will last for 56 minutes. The moon will not be entirely invisible during this period, however, for its sui face will be illuminated by light from the sun passing through the ring of atmosphere surrounding the earth. Total eclipses of the moon are far more generally observed than total eclipses of the sun, since they may be seen from more than half cf Gie earth's surface while a total eclipse of the sun is visible only within a very narrow path of great length. There is also to be a partial eclipse of the sun on Nov. 12 with a maximum magnitude cf 81 per cent of the sun's diameter covered by the moon. This will be visible only in the British Isles the greater part of Europe, Egypt and western and central Asia. The occulation of Mars, on Nov. 29 will be visible in the northwestern and northern states and in Canada, although in the eastern part of North America it will take place just before the sunrise. It will not be visible in the southern or southwestern states. This is another phenomenon for observation of which the observer in fortunate localities must be up early in the morning hours. The exact time varies in different localities. Jupiter also will be temporarily hidden behind the moon this month on Nov. 25, but

only to observers in the south temperate and south ftigid zones. The two annual periodic showers ;>f meteors due in November are the Adromedes ot Bielids, so-called because they are probably remnants of Biela's lost comet and the Leopids. which follow in the orbit of another comet, called after its discoverer, Tempel's comet of 1866. The t eddish, slowly moving Andromedes may be seen anywhere from Nov. 22 to Nov. 30, and will appear in the evening hours coming from the direction of Andromeda and the rapidly moving, bluish colored Leopids will stage their great display about Nov. 14-11 and th°y will come from the direction of the Sickle in Leo. hence their name Leonids. One will have to be up before sunrise to see them. o Ghostly Lawnmowers Parish paper—lt would be a great help towards keeping the churchyard In good order if others would follow the example of those who clip the grass on their own graves. —Boston Transcript. o Paper for Currency The paper used In making our currency Is protected by statute penaliz Ing its manufacture for other purposes.
