Margery l.awrenre In The Madonna of .Seven Moons,” Margery Lawrence has written about two interesting wompn. One is Madalena Labardi, beautiful wife of a great wine merchant of Rome. The other, Rosanna, whose sweetheart is Nino, an apache, and the genius of thieves’ kitchens of Florence. Robbs-Merrill will publish this novel soon. B B B BY WALTER I>. HICKMAN BETH BROWN S latest contribution to “modern literature’’ comes under the head of being brazen but possessing at least two or three characters that have been drawn with extreme realism. You would expect the author of "For Men Only,” to christen her latest “Man and Wife." "Man and Wife” is melodrama of fiction, dealing with the divorce racket in New’ York City. As bad ns I hate to admit it. I am going to remember for a long time the queen of the racket, called Lulu White, fat. big. wicked and powerful. Her chief operator in getting framed up sex evidence for divorce proceedings in this story is Marie Siccardi. Marie had a heart along modern lines and she always possessed a pocketbook that could hold more hundred dollar bills. It was Lulu who furnished Marie and other operators. It w-as the law firm of Stone and Harper <of course just make-believe names in the story), that aired the desired evidence, and it w-as Joe Fiesta in the role of a private detective w'ho raided the little hptel love nest presided over by Marie. tt tt n Practically every character in "Man and Wife” is a rotter, but they are a clever bunch. The water never got too hot for Lulu because she bribed majors to tip her off to big deals. She told police chiefs to go huntining in hot regions and she elevated crooked lawyers to the bench as judges. The plot gets mixed up when the crew frames Keely, a rich society newly-wed. Then comes exposure and scandal, but Lulu had a way of drying it all up. Interest centers on Marie and her strange love for her "son.” called Chippy. But—the author has given the reader a happy Hollywood ending. "Man and Wife" in conversation and plot is a close sister to Mae West's "Diamond Lil.” Why are such stories written? My idea is box office only. "Man and Wife” is published by Claude Kendall and sells for $2. tt tt tt Have just received from Clyde Kendall a copy of "Lake of Fire" by Lionel Houser, which will be released next Monday. It is really the story of a dead man's search for his own murderer. This looks like something new. a b a Have been asked to list two good new novels. Mavbe my personal laste will not fit the needs of the person making the request. Here is my selection—" Ann Vickers" by Sinclair Lewis, and "The Bulpington of Blup" by H. G. Wells. a a a v Yes. Fdwin C. Hill, who has been talking daily events over the radio for some time, has written a book. It is called "The American Scene" and is published by Whitmark. It is based on his radio talks. a a a In answer to the question for the names of the Charlie Chan novels written by Earl Derr Biggers, who just died. They are: "The House Without a Key.” "The Chinese Parrot." "Behind That Curtain.” "The Black Camel." and "Charlie Chan Carries On.” Bobbs-Mcrrill has recently published all five in one volumn. selling for $2.50. X U tt A year before my father died, he gave me his tool chest. Although he was not a carpenter by trade, he loved every tool in that chest. And he indicated that even the important modern block plane had an honorable history. And so I was not surprised when J. B. Lippincott Company sent me j a copy of "The Carpenter's Tool Chest.” It is illustrated by the author and sells for $2. He dedicates this book to Tom. Hilton and Robert so that, they "might know something of the tools with which the world around us has been built and how these tools came to be.” Even the development of the plane Is traced in wards and diagram. He writes that "of all the cutting tools, the ax is probably the oldest and for thousands of years it was the one most used." He tells us of the tools of the stone age and the bronze age. He makes a plea for all boys and even men to learn how to use tools. Here is a book for your boy. Father. and for you, too. And I am going to place this book, In my late father's tool chest.

$856,727 IN RECEIPTS; SB3 LEFT IN BANK Cemetery Lot Buyers or Trail of Cash: Demand Accounting. ASTOUNDED BY AUDIT Fund Puzzle Encountered by 100 Purchasers at Glen Haven Meeting. An audit showing total receipts of $856,727.54 since 1926 and a present cash balance of $83.49 was revealed to lot owners of the Glen Haven Cemetery Association, now in receivership, at a meeting in the Washington Thursday night. Individual contributions collected at earlier meetings of lot owners paid for the audit, it was declared, The actions was taken when records of the .corporation were found to be inadequte and incomplete, it w'as said. Nparlv onp hundred persons who purchased lots in the cemetery were present at the session. L. W. Heagy, former salesman for the company! and W. C. Wetter, attorney for the lot owners, reviewed the audit and explained its contents. Discrepancy Is Cited "Available records of transactions show that approximately $89,00(1 should be held in trust in a perpetual maintenance fund for upkeep of the property," Wetter said. "The audit shows that only about $64,000 was deposited to the fund's credit. "This discrepancy never has been accounted for. The directors and trustees are liable for this fund, which, according to the articles of incorporation, could be invested only in sound securities. "The records show that the directors borrowed $55,000 from the maintenance fund on notes, and SIO,OOO w'orth of Anderson city bonds were pledged as collateral on a bank loan, but about $23,000 supposed to be in the fund is not secured and has not been accounted for.” Veiled Threat Voiced It w'as explained that, according to the purchase agreements, between 10 and 12 1 z per cent of the money paid on lot purchases v/as to be set aside for perpetual maintenance. Wetter was a purchaser of the lots at the time that the company was active in the city. It was said that many lots w'ere sold to residents in Michigan and other states surrounding Indiana. "There are several ways to obtain an accounting for our money,” Wetter told the purchasers. "The postoffice hasn't been tried yet—and you know what I mean.’ We are victims of a high finance proposition.” A murmur of protest ran through the audience when it w'as shown that records of the cemetery reveal that $43,000 w'as paid for a fence surrounding the property. Bonuses Are High The audit showed that $201,000 w'as paid in commissions and bonuses for sale of lots, amounting to more than 30 per cent of total sales receipts. "The salesmen were paid a commission of 15 per cent, which was paid in full if 25 per cent or more of the purchase price was paid down with signing of the contract,” Heagy said. "I don’t know what disposition was made of the remaining 15 per cent, if the salesmen didn't get it." John J. Rochford is receiver for the cemetery, under appointment by Superior Judge Clarence E. Weir, in room 4. According to Weir, arrangements are being made for resuming operation of the cemetery.

WATER LILLIES TRAP AERIAL RUM RING

Customs Men Capture Amphibian Plane and Liquor by Strategy

Thi i* the flrt of *ix thrilling tales of Uncle Sams war arainst the liquor smuralers: authoritative accounts of the unending conflict hetwee nthe liquor canes and their arch foes. customs acents and coast ruardsmen. BY MORRIS GILBERT Times and XEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 7.—Now that beer is flowing, what about the work of the old enforcement organizations. The answer is: Business as usual. Beer is the least of their worries. As long as there’s money in hard liquor, gangsters will try to run it. That's what the customs people and the coast guard say. So they are keeping on with the long, tough battle around our coasts and borders, trying to stem the flow of contx-abar.d which helps to net between $2,000,000,-

000, and $3,000,000.000 a year in income to America's bootleggers. It is a war of nerve, wits and dogged persistence, of force, trickery and double-crossing. Mostly it’s

grinding police work, specializing in preventive measures. But sometimes there is an affair like the Battle of the Water Lilies to brghten things up. The Battle of the Water Lilies was fought recently in a Florida swamp and netted the customs service a shipment of contraband liquor, a nice amphibian airplane and a hearty laugh. a a b THAT amphibian had been keeping officials attached to the West Palm Beach station awake nights, worrying. She was making regular trips from Nassau, flying impudently over customs headquarters and disappearing before the law could follow. By the time pursuits planes were in the air, each trip, the amphibian was—no doubt—already squatting in the hinterland, unpacking cargo. It got so the customs people dreamed about that ship. They brooded and lost their appetite. The music of her Wright Whirlwind motor taunted them sarcastically. It was like a fly that won't be swatted. But one day they managed to trail her. When she came past, a customs plane was idling, made a quick take-off and gave chase. The rum-runner came down in Lake Okeechobee at the northern end, taxied to a small island, and drew alongside a jetty half lost in marsh grass. A haif-dozen men were wait-

NITTI BEFORE JURY IN DETECTIVE PROBE State’s Attorneye Demanding Indictment of Officer. By I nited Press CHICAGO, April 7.—Grand jury investigation of reports that Frank Nitti, Capone syndicate leader, seriously w'ounded by detective Harry Lang in a police raid, was shot in the attempted execution of a gang plot was under way^today. Reports that Ted New'berry, es- : tranged Capone gangster, who him- ! self w’as slain a few weeks after the Nitti shooting, had offered $15,000 : to the assassin of Nitti were dis- ! closed by the inquiry. The state’s attorney's office pre- ! sented Nitti and several police of- ' fleers before the grahd jury in an 1 effort to obtain indictment of Lpng !on perjury charges. The state j claimed Lang told a previous grand ! jury that he shot Nitti when the | gang leader drew a revolver. On ; the witness stand he repudiated this story. Nitti had been on trial before Judge Rudolph Desort on charges of assault to kill Lang. When Lang refused to testify, the judge ordered a direct verdict of not guilty and the state took immediate steps to I prosecute Lang.

The problem facing the authorities was one of tactics: How to reach the island unseen in time to make a pinch. This was impossible by air or boat, the pilot reported. Visibility around the island was too good. The amphibian certainly would be able to make a get-away long before customs people could hope to approach. They didn’t want to lose plane. Neither did they want to damage her by fire. The council sat late. Next day she purred over, impudent as ever, her red sides glittering in the sun. On the island, things looked all right. The waiting bootleggers saw the plane circle, bank, lose speed, and take the water. She taxied as usual to the jetty. Without a second thought, the gang went to work, unloading. It was just another day’s job. Perhaps, if they had been observant, they w'ould have seen an unusual number of clustered patches of water lilies, floating gayly and apparently aimlessly on the shallow lake. Perhaps, if they had looked closely, they would have noticed the water lily clumps in motion,

State *Demonstration Point * in Job Service

New Employment Plan to End Duplication in Work,. Mrs. Frances Perkins, secretary of labor in the Roosevelt cabinet, will make Indiana a “demonstration point” in the new' government employment service. This was the word brought from Washington by Governor Paul V. McNutt, and relayed to Fred Hoke, chairman of the state unemployment relief commission, i The commission will handle the state’s part in the new' employment service. 1 Formerly, this was done under the state industrial board, and w'as headed by Bert Robinson, a Republican, w'ho was released this w’eek. End Great Duplication The unemployment service office here and elsew'here in the industrial cities of the state has been financed by the federal, state and city governments. But there has been great duplication of effort, particularly on the federal government’s side, according to Wayne Coy, McNutt’s secretary with the unemployment relief commission. Various federal government departments have maintained services. Coy said. This duplication will be stopped, the Governor reported after a conference with Mrs. Perkins. Task Is to Find Jobs Another improvement will be the compilation of unemployment statistics which give the picture of conditions ~as they are. Coy reported. He said that under the old system, a single person might have four jobs a week, provided through the service, and in the tabulation, it would appear that four men had been employed. Chief business of the employment ! service is to provide free of charge the machinery which brings the jobless man in contact with the manless job. 1

“Perhaps if the bootleggers had been observant, they would have seen an unusual number of clustered patches of water lilies floating on the shallow lake.” thorities added a monoplane to their fleet by a bright piece of deception. A rum-plane was cruising over from Canada every day and apparently landing in Becker field, a 25-acre clearing in the midst of pine forest on the road to Buffalo. It took only five minutes to dump the load, and the plane never came down while customs men were picketing. Obviously the pilot was working with someone on the ground who gave a signal that the coast was clear. The customs set about learning what the signal was. One day, as usual, the ship came over from Canada and the pilot circled Becker field anxiously. A certain high-priced touring car stood in the center of the clearing. It looked familiar to the pilot. The men in white sweaters were the same, all right, but the men inside them were customs inspectors. One of the toughest things about it was, the pilot said afterward, that he had just made his final down-payment of SIOO on the airplane that day.

Sneeze? Never! Luckless One Kachoos His Way Into Jail at Chicago.

By t nited Press CHICAGO, April 7. Joseph Majerozyk will be a liberal customer for anti-sneeze preparations from here on in. Joseph made this resolution today as he sat on the edge of his jail cot. He blames a sneeze and an unlucky coincidence for his incarceration, and well he may. Boarding a street car Thursday, Joseph made the fatal error of sitting across the aisle from Policemen Jerry Coakley and John Davis. He made fatal error No. 2 when he sneezed violently, one of that brand of sneezes that rocks the entire frame. As he bent over to react to the paroxysm, his coat tail flew up. The eagle eyes of the officers discerned the butt of a revolver sticking from his hip pocket. That’s the answer to Joseph's resolution to curb his public sneezing hereafter.

UPWARD TREND OF PRICES IS SIGN OF ‘BREAK’ Roosevelt Plays Deflation With Inflation to Bring Business Revival HOPE FOR FARM GAIN Public Works Scheme Also Counted On to A'd in Recovery. BY HERBERT LITTLE Timrs Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 7. The up-trend of basic commodity prices, now the principal symptom of a break in the economic storm, is credited largely by economists to lie Roosevelt administration's expert interplay of deflationary and inflatiQnary forces. Other fundamental symptoms of good times, notably a general increase in employment, and wages, j are absent. In fact, the most severe j single blow of the three and one- { half year deflation came this month, J following the bank holiday, in the | temporary or permanent freezing of four billion dollars in bank deposits. Unemployment is at anew high, the American Federation of Labor says. President Roosevelt’s legislative and administrative programs, rather than Wall street and its stock price fluctuations, are credited largely with the one major symptom of improvement. Tries Both Dans In his program so far. Mr. Roosevelt has been juggling with inflationary and deflationary forces alternatively. trying to make headway without upsetting the boat entirely. Some of his measures have been frankly deflationary, through striking at spending power—sl2s,ooo,ooo a year in the case of the federal workers, and $400,000,000 in the case of the veterans. The cuts in veterans’ compensation, however, will not become effective until July 1. Other “economy” measures in government —• enacted frankly to strengthen federal credit—bring the total possible direct “deflation” close to the bil-lion-dollar mark. But this is a small item compared j with the deflation involved in the j three-year period, in w hich the naI tional wealth has been reduced j from about four hundred billion dolj lars to a little more than half that ! figure, and total income from $90,000,000,000 to about $40,000,000,000. Boost Buying Power Inflationary possibilities of major j importance are found in a halfdozen different features of the ! Roosevelt program, however. Recognizing possibly that straight-out currency inflation is something like playing with a jigsaw puzzle made of dynamite caps, the administration has put forward its business and price-boasting measures in a half-dozen different forms.* The ultimate aim of nearly all of them is increase of mass purchasing pow'er. It is difficult to classify or identify or appraise exactly these “inflationary” proposals as such. But anything which tends to boost prices or to create business or trade has the opposite effect to our long-con-tinued deflation. Hence, under the Roosevelt program, hopes for an end to deflation may be found as follows, roughly and approximately: 1. The pending farm bill, carrying a $2,000,000,000 issue of bonds to be used in refinancing farm mortgages, largely through exchange, so that farmers will pay not more than 4U per cent, instead of 6 to 8 per cent interest, and possibly on a reduced principal. May Help Farmers It also carries a $300,000,000 R F. C. increase for farm loans, and a possible $1,000,000,000 increase in farm purchasing power is expected if farm prices are forced up by the marginal land and processing tax feature of the bill. 2. The expected home mortgage refinancing bill, which probable will carry a low' interest bond issue as large or larger than the farm issue, also designed to increase purchasing power by cutting “fixed” interest charges of home owners from 6 and 7 to 4 or 5 per cent. . The expected public works program. expected to provide up to $500,000,000, most of which will go directly into the pockets of labor and the severely depressed heavy industries. Beer Revenue High 4. The pending $500,000,000 direct relief bill, practically all of which goes directly into purchasing power of the unemployed. The beer legislation bill. The exact size of this rejuvenated industry is unknown, but if it brings in the expected in taxes at $6 a barrel, the wholesale price turnover will be more than $600,000,000 a year. 6. The Tennessee valley land utilization and power bill, involving several millions more of public works expenditures on a self-liquidating basis, which, if successful, may tend ultimately to cut another “fixed charge”—utility rates—of consumers all over the country.
