Offer Is Revealed The offer to McCray by Jackson first was revealed July 25 by The Times. Last week The Times charged that Robert I. Marsh, then G 4 of the Klan, introduced Stephenson to James W. Noel, attorney for McCray. Stephenson made a similar offer and for *he third time, McCray refused to listen, it was said. The offer first was transmitted by McCray’s life-iong friend, Fred B. Robinson. All persons said to have knowledge of the offer, except McCray, were called before the jury. McCray, according to prosecutors, will not be called. He returned last week to Indianapolis after serving three years and four months of a tenyear sentence at Atlanta for using the mails to defraud.

'Preferred Blonde’ Didn \t Inspire ‘Sweet Adeline’

‘She Was a Brunette,’ Says Author Who Received $4,000 for Song. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS. NEA Service Writer. NEW YORK, Sept. s—ln the New York postofflee building, bending over a desk figuring accounts, is a friendly, rather stock man with a shiny bald head. You might suppose he had spent most of his youth and lost hair worrying over figures—unless you saw his visiting card. After a look at his card, the man takes on color and'romance. Retrospection floods v your brain.... summer nights beneath the moon ....college nights....nights leaning over a polished counter with a foot on a brass rail... .nights you couldn’t sleep and yearned for a brick. The card reads: RICHARD H. GERARD 144-9 111th Ave., Jamaica, New York Author of the World-Famous Song, “sweet Adeline.” She’s 25 Years Old Gerard long has used his pen for lyrics as well as for ledgers. He has co-authored many songs, bfit never got into the spotlight with a bang until he and Harry Armstrong produced that national anthem of the inebriated, “Sweet Adeline.” Adeline now is 25 years of age. She seems so much older at first thought Our Adeline, according to Gerard, was puny and unhealthy in her early years. Had her baby-hood been less anemic, Gerard might today be riding in a limousine instead of modestly taking the subway home every night. It has been estimated that Adeline sold fifty million copies. But Gerard got oyly $4,000. “At first it seemed to go about

like lots of other songs,” Gerard explained, “just so-so. "I held op for five years, then sold for $3,000. Already I had received SI,OOO in royalties. That’s ail I’ve profited on the most-sung song in the world.” “Right here, with preferred blondes cleaning up in the market, let me say it was a brunette who inspired ‘Sweet Adeline.’ “I was a kid w,ien I wrote It,” Gerard recalled “and In love most of the time. But the flower of my heart was a little black-eyed girl. Yes, sir, I did pine for her. She married another. The girl in the first draft of the song we wrote was Rosalie, instead of Adeline, but just ahead of us another writer put out a ‘Sweet Rosalie,’ and we rechristeneed our child Adeline. • QUAKERS GIVE DELEGATE list Five Years Meeting at Richmond in October.

Business and Industrial News

FIRST AID TO PRESS OFFERED One of the most important services given by any firm in the city is the “first aid to printing and binding shops,” supplied by the Vaser Machine Company, 420 S. Pennsylvania St. As experts in overhauling printing presses and other machinery used in printing .establishments, and in designing binding machinery to meet modem requirements, this firm has shown a splendid development. The firm handles any type of repair work, ranging from the most simple printing press® to the complex multi-cylinder presses, and from the ancient-models of bindery machinery to the latest type of machinery. The demands made upon printers for speed work tends to impair the efficiency in many instances, and with printing machinery out of order, it means a lessened output of any shop, hence the requirement for specialists to repair such machinery. The industrial plants have installed their own printing*and bWery machinery. Some firms have installed paper-folding machinery for manufacturing their own cartons. The Vaser Machine Company has been called to keep such machinery in condition, and expert machinists are employed by the company to make “hurry calls.”

TIRE AND TOP FIRMGROWING Throughout the month business has grown for the Kentucky Avenue Tire and Top Company, 159 Kentucky Ave., operated by James A. Ward and Archie Davidson. This firm was established in its new location last March, following a move from 33-35 Kentucky Ave. It maintains a complete tire and top service for motorists. All kinds of curtains suitable for winter or rainy weather are made to order by the firm. Expert curtain cutters, who learned the business with some of the larger automobile manufacturing concerns, are employed to guarantee satisfactory workmanship. / The firm also makes a specialty of top repair and building work. An automobile with a smashed top, either open or closed cars, can be repaired by the company. All kinds of woodwork on closed cars is done. Many car owners have had their cars worked over to meet certain personal requirements,

Definite plans for construction of the light are expected to take form soon, and some of the most distinguished architects of American countries already arc showing interest. Belief that there will be extraordinary expansion of inter-American air routes in the next decade accounts for the present consideration of possible utilitarian as well as sentimental value to the light. Enthusiasts for the Columbus Memorial project have regretted that its rays would not be visible

and in every instance satisfaction has been given, Ward asserted. “We do a lot of work for local distributors who take in older models of cars in trade and who desire to have them rebuilt,” said Ward. “With our facilities for body work we are often able to turn out a job that will almost pass for a factory-built job. Our business has almost doubled during the past nine months, indicating satisfaction with our work. That is the best sort of advertising—repeat orders. The firm handles Giant tires and tubes, as well as all other automobile accessories, and gives road service to motorists.
