Helen Hull Jacobs Young people seem to be writing a lot of the new books this season. Helen Hull Jacobs, national women’s tennis champion, Is the latest to turn author. She Is no in her early twenties. BobbsMerrill has published her book, ‘ Modern Tennis." a a a BY WALTER I). HICKMAN A NY day now I am expecting to get word from some publisher that an elevator boy or an ice man has written a book about his profession. Have before me a copy of "In Your Hat," w'ritten by Renee Carroll, hat-check girl at Sardi’s eating place in New York City. Renee is quite a girl. She must be because she is a redhead and has kept a pretty smart record of the big shots who check their hats and coats w-ith her. She makes the observation in giving the reader her correct position in Broadway night life that it is necessary to keep one's "perspective Wiped clean.” "My advice,” she writes, "after years of rubbing worn plbows and accepting hats from moths of the bright lights, is to steer clear of the ribbers, keep your nose wiped constantly, and never mention Mammy to A1 Jolson." In the place that Renee checks hats such people as Marlene Dietrich, Adolph Zukor, Jesse Lasky, Buddy Rogers, Maurice Chevalier and hosts of others who make the front page. And Renee is an authority on the “great art" of tipping. She admits that she has placed the tip as w r ell as the hat-check fee on the cuff because the customer didn't even have a thin dime. And once she was tipped a nice penny by a gent who aways reminded her that he was the guy who gave her a penny for tip. thinking it was a big dime. Once when Chevalier visited the restaurant in the company of Walter Donaldson, the song w-riter, the French star tossed his hat in the rear seat of Donaldson’s auto. And Renee admits she spoke right up to Maurice and asked him if he thought it w r as fair for him to chuck his hat in the auto instead of paying her a dime, especially since she paid a good. American dollar to see his picture. And she records that Maurice, rushed out of the place, got his hat, gave it to her and compensated her by "tweaking" her cheek. Others jwere more liberal, they kissed her. Asa matter of book keeping, Renee states—“the smallest tip I ever received was a penny from the nearsighted gentleman. The largest was n hundred dollar bill which I later had to return.” And Buck Jones gave our little |gnl his big and handsome "six gallon" top-piece and she still has it. Whether you are of New York or hot, you are going to get a big kick out of "In Your Hat," as published by Macaulay. And sells for $2. This girl observes life and she expresses her opinions in the language of the day. especially when she observes—" From early girlhood I learned that life was a serious bowl of cherries.” She lets you know that Eddie Cantor has lost two million dollars and she observes —"I haven't saved two hundred. I'm the unique case of a lower New York birth with nothing to show for it but an aversion for dialect stories and a strawberry mark on my hip.” Here's a smart and a delicious book. And so different. You'll love It. I did. a a a Yes, President Roosevelt has written a book. It has just been published by John Day. It is called "Looking Forward.” and it is really his program for the "new deal.” It sells for $2.50. a a a As people are talking poetry, I was stopped on the street the other day and was asked "if I knew Austin James?” Was told that his book on poetry. "Moods of The Moment.” published by the author, was getting a wider audience each week. ’“/hen "Moods of the Moment” re: Ted my desk. I discovered that Austin James was the pen name of J. Austin Nutt, living at 3630 North Meridian street and is employed in the sales department of the telephone company here. I am beginning to fee! that people who work every day are the ones who are writing of real things of life instead of just ideas. James has a good feeling for words and the things of which he writes really got under my skin. I know that I am both happy and sad on Christmas and at times during that day I feel that no matter how thin my pocket book is nobody in the world can steal Christmas Irom me. James has beautifully caught that spirit in “Gosh. Ain't I the Lucky Guy.” Even with old clothes on. a shabby roof over his head and even no feather bed, the author declares he's a lucky guy because he tries to be a "cheerful giver.”

Mrs. Moffett Keeps Up Family Flying Tradition

Wff. L ***** r ? HI life y 111.

Mrs. William A. Moffett, widow of Admiral W. A. Moffett, shown as she recently christened the Macon, sister ship of the lost Akron.

Widow of Rear Admiral Who Died on Akron on Air Trip to West. By Times Special CHICAGO, April 28.—Mrs. William A. Moffett, undeterred from flying by the death of her husband, Rear Adnr.ral Moffett, in the Akron disaster, stopped here Thursday on an air trip from Washington to Los Angeles. Mrs. Moffett was amazed that she should be considered daring for continuing to fly. “We all fly,” she declared. "My sons, William and Lieutenant George Moffett, are naval aviators. My daughter, Mrs. Janet Moffett Moore, is a pilot, married to the executive director of the air lines between Los Angeles and Catalina island. "My other two sons, Charles, 17, and Beverley, 14, flew from Washington to the Pacific coast Tuesday. It's a family tradition, I guess.” Mrs. Moffett will be joined by her sons and daughters when she reaches Los Angeles. Monsters Built Ft. Wayne Man Making Dinosaurs for World Fair Display. Bp United Press FT. WAYNE, Ind., April 28. Dinosaurs, these forty-ton monsters that roamed the earth hundreds of millions of years ago, will twist and grunt at the Chicago world’s fair this year. Seven of the lumbering oeasts, ranging from four feet to seventy feet long, are being brought to life here by P. G. Alen, dinosaurmaker extraordinary. , Brontosaurus, the largest of the species, will wage his thirty-foot tail, and twist his twenty-foot neck. His sides will heave as low grunts emit from his yawning jaws. The sound will be as nearly as possible like that which scientists believe such enormous monsters must have uttered in prehistorictimes. Several advantages over their extinct brothers will be the lot of Mr. Alen's gigantic children. No foraging for food will be necessary. They’ll merely stand and be gazed at. And in brain pow'er. Alen's products will be far superior. The original Brontosaurus, for example, had only a two-pound brain to control action of all his forty-ton bulk. Alen's phenomenon will have an electric brain, powered with an electric motor. This brain will be placed in the stomach. There may be two brains—one to control movements and one to control sounds—much on the order of the dual steeering apparatus of the fire department’s hook and ladder equipment. Among the dinosaur group being constructed by Alen—to be shown in the display of a petroleum company—will be Brontosaurus. seventy feet; Duckbill dinosaur, fifteen feet; Stegosaurus, twenty-five feet; Tryannosaurus, twenty-five feet; Triceratops, twenty feet; to Protoceratops, four feet, and a nest of dinosaur eggs, showing two Protoceratops hatching.

ALIENATION SUIT SPLITSJHURCH Girl Sued for $50,000 Says Pastor ‘Held Hands of Every One.’ Bn United Press OMAHA, Neb., April 28.—Fellow members of the local Lutheran church rallied today to the defense of Miss Gertrude Gruenig, defendant in a $50,000 alienation of affections suit brought by the divorced wife of the Rev. Oliver Baltzly, former pastor of the church. Witnesses testified that Miss Guenig was about the church study on oftener than many other women active in the affairs of the Kountze Memorial church, largest English language Lutheran church in the jvorld. Mrs. Doris Purcell said that testimony reporting the pastor as holding hands with the defendant meant nothing. Mrs. Purcell, young and pretty, said the pastor held every one's hands. Attorney H. W. Hasselquist for Mrs. Baltzly expressed skepticism. “I'll demonstrate if you like,” Mrs. Purcell said. Nimbly stepping from the witness box, she gayly walked to where the pastor was sitting, and, clasping his hand affectionately, conversed with him several minutes. "He always used the sacristy for hearing the private, secret troubles cf his parishioners,” she said. “Did Dr. Baltzly ever kiss you?" the attorney asked. "No," replied Mrs. Purcell.

NEGROES HELD IN NOTED CASE RIOTJN JAIL Defendants in Scottsboro Trial Are Barricaded in Room With Weapons. By United Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 28. The nine Negro defendants in the Scottsboro assault cases staged a minor riot in their call on the eighth floor of the courthouse here Thursday, armed themselves with weapons fashioned from plumbing fixtures, and threatened to kill any one entering the cell. They were segregated in a large corridor known as a "day room” used for exercise of prisoners during the day and will be kept there until subdued. The corridor is not furnished. The trouble started Wednesday, but was not revealed until late Thursday. The Scottsboro defendants were placed in a cell directly opposite a cell occuppied by Negro women prisoners. The Negro men started loud conversations across the corridor and jail authorities placed a partition in the corridor. Refuse to Take Food The Scottsboro defendants resented the action and refused to hand out their plates when John Lunsford, white chef at the jail, brought food. Lundsford reported the situation to K. C. Dement, inside warden at the jail, who found the prisoners armed with crude weapons made of plumbing fixtures, broken furniture and other articles. Dement informed Warden T. L. Erwin, who ordered a squad of deputies to the “day room." But he refused to allow the deputies to enter the Negroes’ cell, after the prisoners had threatened to kill any one who approached. Confined in Bare Room Warden Erwin announced he would keep the prisoners in the unfurnished "day room," until they agreed to surrender their weapons and accept the food offered them. The Negroes were reported still voicing their threats Thursday night. Eight of the prisoners are awaiting second trials on charges of criminal assault of two white girls on a freight train near Scottsboro more than two years ago. The ninth, Haywood Patterson, was convicted recently and re-sentenced to death in the electric chair in his second trial. Trials of the other defendants are delayed pending an appeal of Patterson’s second conviction.

NEW _ NAVY SECRETARY LEARNS TO BE NEAT Swanson Quits Smoking Cigars to Keep Ashes From Littering Desk. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 28.—Navy Secretary Claude Swanson is feeling some of the drawbacks that go along with the honor and prestige of a cabinet position. Swanson is fond of cigars, but has a habit of letting the ash accumulate until it spills untidily. Visitors at his office notice the results; a piece appeared in the papers about it. Now the office is spic and span—and Swanson smokes cigarets. "That paragraph in the papers did it,’’ Swanson confided to a friend. "Mrs. Swanson saw' it and told me that a cabinet member ought to be more careful about those things."

STATE TAX ON INCOMES AND SALES NEAR Law Is Effective Monday: Huge Collection Task Is Faced. Indiana's gross sales and income tax becomes effective Monday. Under Director Clarence A. Jackson of the income tax department, the state will face the most gigantic task of tax collection in its history. It is expected that an army of employes and hundreds of dollars’ worth of machinery will be necessary to make the collections, variously estimated at from $12,000,000 to $14,000,000. Jackson's force already occupies a sector in the house of representatives. The new tabulating and bookkeeping machinery is to be installed in space now occupied by the state library, which will move to the new building across the street. Storen in Charge Arrangements for the department are being made by William Storen, state treasurer, who heads the tax departments under the division of treasury. Edward Brennan of state board of accounts said he expected it to be the largest in the statehouse. Jackson estimates that more than 250,000 complete ledger accounts will be kept. Every person making more than SI,OOO a year and all business will pay, beginning July 15, for the first quarter. Rates Are Announced Rates are one-fourth of 1 per cent for manufacturing, mining, agriculture, wholesaling and jobbing; 1 per cent on retailing, public utilities, financial institutions, insurance companies and personal service. Jackson has ruled that ‘newspapers come under manufacturing and pay the one-fourth of 1 per cent rate. He also secured legal advice holding that manufacturers must pay on al sales, whether the merchandise is sold outside the state or not. Notes must be counted in the gross receipts, but sales, under conditional sales contracts, are taxable only as installments are paid. Bus Driver Is Robbed Oscar Kerbox, 2209 East Fortyfourth street, bus driver, reported to police he was driving south on Central avenue shortly after midnight today when an armed bandit got out of a car parked at Forty-first street and Central avenue and robbed him of sl2.
