The gradual ecssation of grinding. operations an ineSense in foreign buying or curtailment of supplies, any of these may exert an influence.

KITCHENS HOLD MARRIAGE FATE, JURIST THINKS Writes Book, Saying Love Doesn’t Linger on an Empty Stomach. Du Times Special CHICAGO, March 31.—For twenty years, wrecked romance passed in Kloomy-faced review before Judge William Xeison Gemmili of the Chicago Court of Domestic Relations. It was a colorful pageant of more than' ten thousand sorrows, with scarlet lives, black sin, the green-eyed monster, and even white purity among its ranks. Yet, Gemmili decides that life was good, and decided to 'write a book about it. “The Kingdom of Hearts” is the result, just off the press. The jurist rather pitilessly has taken Dan Cupid apart, but, like all ardent vivisectionists, feels that in so doing he has discovered the cure for another one of the major ills of the human family. All thi- contributing influences in the disintegration of the home have come under his powerful microscope. \V ith ten thousand coui - t cases as his background of experience, Judge Gemmili reveals the causes of marital incompatibility—differences in religious belief, money, clothes, food and the other woman. Marriages may be made in heaven, but they are maintained in the kitchen, the “loveologist” believes, declaring that “love never lingers on an empty stomach.” Puppy-love, heritage of ike adolescent, comes in for its condemnation when he declares that “If one could be innoculated against puppylove, many of our divorce courts would go out of business.” “No one can tell what will happen when the disease is at its height.” he adds. “All sense of proportion is lost. Neither heat nor cold, hunger nor thirst, makes any difference.” Flaming youth has its inning too, with much of the “new freedom” upheld by the author. “Some things may be said against the short skirt," he says, “But more things may be said for it.” The average girl is more cultured than the average man, he says, but the avei-age man of fifty is more Intelligent than his wife. There is other pertinent comment: part of the book, devoted to crime, carries his conviction that criminals are made and not born. "Society is strong enough to overcome all of its own weaknesses,” believes the man who for twenty yekrs has watched the march of shattered happiness. / Deaths Wade Hamilton Wells 60.

A light run of material was estimated at 4.500 and ninety-seven holdovers from the Tuesday trading period were added to the total fresh receipts. This offering was not large enough to satisfy the larger demand and ■(vas a contx ibuting factor in the price boost. Lightweight material commanded the top price of $13.55 and the bulk of the matured hogs were sold at prices ranging from $12.05 to $13.30. Heavy and light hogs received the maximum boost, but medium grades were iaised only 5c on the hundredweight. Hog Price Scale Trading was done over* the following range of values: Ilea’, ies sold at [email protected], mediums brought $12.30& 12.55, lights com-' manded the top price of $13.05@ 13.55, light lights moved at $13.25, pigs cashed at [email protected], smooth packing sows were $10.75® 11, rough packing sows 510.25® 10.50 and stags were [email protected]. The cattle market did not recover from the weakness displayed at the close of the Tuesday session and trading started the day in a weakened condition. Several good steers were offered and were priced near the top of the scale which was $6 to $9 with a few at $9.50. Heifers ere weak and ere quoted at $6 to $9.50. This quotation showed a loss of about 50 cents from the closing quotations of the previous week. Cows were $5 to $7 with a very few priced at $7.50. Light receipts were estimated at 800 but this condition did not buoy the maket as as expected. Calves Are Lower The calf market showed a striking weakness because of the lack of demand. Prices broke fully $1 at the start, and near the close values showed a tendency to go even lower. Best vealers were sold at sl4 tout only a few brought this figure in the early dealings. The bulk of the run, estimated at 900, was sold at prices ranging from sl3 to $18.50. Only about 100 sheep and lambs were in the pens at the start of the trading period. One bunch of early spring lambs were sold at $23 afcd another bunch, showing fat, was disposed of at $lB.

VIENNA AGAIN IS GAY AS IN DAYS BEFORE BIG WAR Opera Has No Rival Except New York —Dance Fever Increases. Bu United Press * VIENNA, March 31.—As an important political capital Vienna is no more; but as a city for music, arts, and enjoyment Vienna is rapidly returning to her pre-war position. Despite many financial troubles, the opera is back to its pre-war status. With the exception of the Metropolitan of New York, according to general admission, the Vienna ipera has no close rival anywhere. In the Vienna studios many foreign artists, as well as local celebri ties, are continually busy, a fact of which one is reminded almost daily by exhibitions of new paint ings and sculptures. It is in the realm of gaiety rather In her opera and her studios, however, that the casual traveler would find Vienna most changed from the dark reconstruction days of 1919 and 1920. On the floors of her many ballrooms and dance palaces they would see a sight which was unknown five years ago. As in the Imperial pre-war days the Viennese forget their troubles each evening in the giddy whiri of the famous Vienna waltz. The dance fever has been increasing in intensity for several years past. During 1924 there were 3,064 balls. In 1925 this number increased to 3.448. During the month of January this year 2,527 dances were held, an average of more than eighty each night—and this does not include the cabarets, tearooms, cases, hotels, etc., which are open for dancing each afternoon and evening. It includes only those specially arranged halls for which official per mission must be obtained Jr°m the city authorities.

OFFICIAL DENIES LIQUOR RECORD (Continued From Page 1) a careful inventory of same dates July 28. 1923. “Amount seized, was as follows: 1,445 cases containing twelve quart bottles; one case containing two quart bottles: one case containing four quart bottles; one case containing ten quart bottles; one case containing seven quart bottles; one case containing nine quart bottles; one case containing four quart bottles and two cases empty.’ Holman Scored Bert Morgan, former Indiana prohibition director, scored Oscar Hoi man, prohibition agent, for his statement that when (.'apt. Addison send, a supervisor of the prohibition department at Washington, and himself checked the booze two years ago approximately 1.450 cases were there. Morgan previously stated 220 cases had disappeared at that time as compared to his check at the distillery. “I remember very distinctly that Holman and Townsend came to my office immediately after the check was made and Holman told me 220 cases were gone.” Morgan said. “Now he claims they were ail there. 'Townsend being my superior I never knew how much actually was there except from what Holman told me. He insisted the cases were gone and also kept coming to me with rumors that the Squibb liquor was being bootlegged.” Morgan said be received reports from all parts of the State concerning theft of the liquor and peddling of it in liootleg channels. “It wasn’t my job to Investigate such rumors unless I had conclusive evidence,” Morgan declared. “That liquor was stored under the custody of tho marshal, and was entirely out of my juridsdiction.” Some, lk-stroyed Meredith has *said he destroyed twenty-five cases after the libel suit trial before he knew that the owners of the liquor had decided to appeal. He said he went from the courtroom to the basement room immediately after Judge Robert C. BaUzell ordered destruction of the liquor. Morgan pointed out fallacy in this statement. “No order of the court is given verbally,” he said, “it would be necessary for the court to make a written order and have it certified in the clerk’s office before Meredith would receive it. and have power to destroy the booze.” Births Tloy?

A trifle bitter is .lean Acme Ik‘ Roy as lie toils in ltis little motion picture machine workshop. But when you hear Ids story, it's easy to understand.

Films Made Millions for All but Le Roy of New York.

NEW YORK, March 31—A trifle bitter, you might think Jean Acme Le Roy after talking with him. Jean Acme Le Roy. who is 72 and runs a dingy little shop in a dingy block of New YorkH W. FortyFourth SSt., where he repairs cameras and motion picture machines. A trifle bitter, yes. but — Consider the countless millions by which men have profited from the motion picture business if you would understand; countless millions for this man and that, but for Jean Acme Le Roy only age and penury. ijack to 1894 the story goes. For it was in February, 1894, that Le Roy first demonstrated publicly, in an optical shop on Beekman St., the motion picture projection machine he had invented. “For years I had worked on it,” Lj Roy will relate, there in his dingy little repair shop, if you listen patiently. “And it was the first machine of its kind, I tell you—the daddy of all the machines they use today! “But never a dollar did it bring.” Like the movie that Is its subjectmatter. the story unwinds. Ilis Story It begins unwinding from the day two score years ago and more when Le Roy was a professional photographer. and Showed “magic lantern” slides at Coney Island. Motion pictures were but a vision then. But the idtd obsessed l.e Roy in common with others. To its realization he gave every possible hour. An Intricate device to exhibit "magic lantern" slides in rapid succession was his first effort. Two hundred separate photos wort* necessary to provide a “performance" of about a minute in length by two dancers. “The film was the thing I saw.” recalls Le Roy.- ‘ln 1593 I completed a projector using film jvithout perforations. I used rollers for the feed system, witli a lia,nd wheel and leather belts for power. l’eriorated Films "PerforatfMl film for nickel-in-the-slot kinetoscopes came into use then. i adapted my projector- to this film by replacing the feed rollers with spools on which were teeth to engage the holes in the edges of the films. And that machine was tlie daddy of them all — the daddy of them all, I tell you—but I never got a dollar for it. “Not for two years and a half did I go to a lawyer to patents, and he told me 1 was six months too lute.

"The trust 1 ad come by that time. And they frozo me out.” It was a “lesson to him” when he learned he must patent new inventions within two years. He points to a six-foot shelf of filing cases. They contain copies of every important patent having to do with animated photography and the production of motion pictures since 1860. But Le Roy does not have to refer to his filing cases to tell you about these patents. lie knows their contents by heart. 1889 Invention If you listen patiently, he tells you of stereoscopic pictures fastened on moving hands; of stereoscopes run by clockwork: of pictures mounted on discs revolving before a lantern which Involved shutter and stop motion; and of YYilllam FrelseGreene, the Englishman, who approached closely to "movies” in 1889 with pictures fastened together in strips. And Le Roy will tell you of his many suits in the courts, If you have still more time. But his suits have brought him little aside from the privilege of paying lawyer fees. lie will show you the movie world's first crude reels of film before you go. and tell you that some day he hopes to profit by showing these reels on a lecture tour. And as a souvenir he will clip a few Inches from one or two of these films for you. wrapping the celluloid bits up in a show bill advertising for Clinton. N.

SCHOOL 0 PENCILS 'Average nrT P erson 11SCS cig li t JH, lO ] )o7lcils every year. Copyright. Compton's Plotorrd Encyclopedia restart Sonic*.

Ts you use your share of lead pencils manufactured in the United States you use eight pencils every year. In other words, it takes about three-quarters of a billion pencils a year to supply the country. To get some idea of what this prodigious number means, imagine all the pencils laid end to end as they stream from the factories. The only teal’ satisfactory wood for the purpose Is the soft, rather "cheesy" red cedar, but the American supply has been so drawn upon that now this wood has become exceedingly scarce. Because of this shortage of cedar wood many of our pencile are now being made with a cover of paper strips wound spirally and glued so that the pencil can lie sharpened by unrolling tho paper in strips. Cheap pencils are also encased in poorer kinds of cedar and other woods. “Lead” pencils, we call them, hut the pencils of today do not contain lead, but graphite. Until well into the nineteenth century, however, lead was used for this purpose, and the name still sticks. Chalks, colored earths and lead have been used for marking and drawing ever since the days of the Romans. The introduction of graphite for this purpose began in Enfriand in the last half of the sixteenth century. The black mark of the graphite made such a contrast to the pale line of the load that it was called “black lead.” At first iiencils were made by pulverizing the graphite, compressing it iiito solid blocks, and cutting tiny bars from these blocks and enclosing them in cases. But since 1795 clay has been mixed with the graphite to produce leads of various grades of hardness: the more clay, the harder the pencil. Sometimes a little lamp black is added to Increase the blackness. The thick doughy mixture is then squeezed by hydraulic pressure through -perforations in a plate until it is smooth enough, and finally through a perforation the size of the finished lead. As the lung black strings coll up like a wire on the board below they are nipped off into pieces of t(ie right lenth, straightened out and allowed to dry. After

BARONESS OF MUCH BEAUTY AT NEW YORK Her Husband Even Admits This Fairest of All Europe. NEW YORK, Marcli 31.—Bury your hopes, American beauty contest entrants! For tho Baroness A1 letta Lydia de Briess has arrived. Thirty trunkfuls of raiment arrived with her. This because no woman should have the effrontry to show herself in broad daylight, before the esthetic sense of the gaping multitude, unless her wardrobe con tains at least: iicO: Fifty hats- ,1) iff Ninety dresses — “vi >* Ninety pairs of shoes— Same number of pairs of stockings— Twelve wigs to match costumes —* Thirty Spanish shawls— Forty evening wraps— Lingerie galore— To say nothing of a milk pall or so full pearls. Take this ukase straight from the beautiful Lydia's orange-red lips. Believe It or Not The baroness is Europe's most beautiful woman. Her husband. Baron de Briess, says so straight from the shoulder. Nor is the l’ola Negrlsh Lydia above corroborating him. It seems there was a beauty eon test in St. Moritz. The baroness won. And the Festival of Nero in Rome. First prize. Pearl necklace. Carnival of Alsace. First prize. Coral crystal service. Beauty contest of Milan. One hundred bottles of chant pagne—“The Baroness keeps her superb beauty," sakl the baron husband, "by never smoking or drinking. She gave the so lovely, lovely champagnes all away.” The Baroness Tlletta has brought her beauty-contest-winning propensities to America becauso, according to the baron husband, “the fresh fruits of America are so oh-so-su-perbly-deliclous.” At home it seems the baron one day was eating canned American fruits. Suddenly ho said to his Alletta Lydia—- “ Let us hie us to America, where we may eat them fresh!” They did. They are. They’re eating fresii strawberries from a box upon a bureau In a Gotham hotel where toothpicks cost as much as solid mahogany table legs most places. Whilst dipping fresh strawberries Into a Dresden china saucer of sugar, tho baron and his beauty,list to tho tintinnabulations of the tele phone. Money? Bali! “Pose for lingerie? No! Pose for toothpaste? No! Dance at the little vaudeville house No!” I “You see,” explained the baron husband, "you see, we do not want America’s money.” Later—timidly—- " Which pays letter in your oh-so-grand country, the what you call the movies, or the revuo or the variety house? “My Alletta look like the Paula Nego. Is lt not so? See how she can pose!" And Europe's most beautiful woman of tho thirty trunks full of clothes valued at $500,000, posed charmingly with a carnation in her mouth, or her hair, or artistically poised upon her alabaster girlish bosom. "America, what have you?” the Baron do Briess beamed. A puncture-proof inner tube for automobile tires has l>ecn Invented. It is made of pure sponge rubber.
