TTBOX BY BRUCE CATTON

"-QETTER TO MARRY." by Ur--13 sula Bloom, contrasts the repressions and conventions which surrounded Victorian woman with the freedom of the modern age. and concludes that modern freedom is all to the good. It tells its story, and gets over its neatly-contrived moral lesson, by examining the lives of a mqther and her daughter. The mother was brought up in an English middle-class home in the 'nineties —which seem to have been anything but gay. She was sheltered carefully, thoroughly repressed and taught to make "what will people say?" the guiding principle of her life. Asa result, she was guided straight into a marriage with a worthless rake whose only adeeming features were that he came from an excellent family and held a commission in the guards. When, in middle age. she became a widow, she found that she had wasted her life. Her daughter, growing up in the modern era. found things different. Far from bowing the knee to convention. she went off to live with a young artist without benefit of clergy, and managed to achieve a satisfying existence thereby; so satisfying. indeed, that her mother, when an admirer of her youth finally swam back into her ken. gave up her scruples and went to do likewise. Toward the end of the book you feel that the author is twisting things to point her moral; but the beginning, with its horrible picture of Victorian middle class domesticity, is truly excellent. . . . Published by Dutton, the book is priced at $2.

WATSON ‘BEHIND SCREEN 1 IN HUGE INSURANCE DEAL " ———■ " ■ Connection With Illinois Life Bill Revealed: Millions of Dollars Involved. (Continued From Page One) ed in the company. He said he <Jid not know what Hurley's activity would be if the Hart bid is successful. "What will Watson’s status be in the new company, if any?" Carlstrom was asked. • Associated with me as counsel in this part, of the proposition, he probably would be counsel and a member of the directorate," Carlstrom ; said. Referring to the money-making I aspects of the new company, Carlstrom told The Times that the only profit could be on new business. "There is no estimate what this j new business might amount to,’’ he | said. “It might be SIOO,OOO in a year or $10.000,000 —or $2,000,000. There is no way to find out.” Involved in the picture with Hart ; and Watson is Fred W. Bailey, who says he was called into the proposi- | tion as an aid to Hart. Bailey is j considered an expert in his line. ‘Best for Policyholders’ Bailey pleaded that the proposal ; was the best for the policyholders | and said that publication of any : content of the situation would ruin Hart's chances in several proposals | he now has pending in addition to the Illinois Life. Hart, apparently, is an expert insurance man, with a record pulling insurance companies out of slumps. The Times learned that, although the $3,000,000 R. F. C. loan which will be sought if Hart and Watson are successful, is more “than is I needed,” that it is planned “as an aid in paying off debts of the company.” Carlstrom explained that the proposal would call for no depreciation in policies, but those which were involved in the crash would be on a restricted basis. The new business would be liquid and policyholders would be insured full backing of the company, he said. Watson Visits Judge Questioned as to Watson's activity in the case, Judge Wilkerson said: “Watson was in several weeks ago,. He told me he had a man he wanted me to meet. I told him that all affairs of the company would be turned over to the committee and anything to be said would have to be said before those gentlemen.” Contrasting with statements in Chicago, is the assertion of Watson, who is in Washington, purportedly waiting for the signal to complete R. F. C. negotiations, Watson's statement follows: “I have no connection with this new' cqmpany you are talking about, I'm not a party to any attempt to take over the life insurance company. I talked with the judge and Pat Hurley only as a friend of Bailey's. “I have no financial interest in the venture and know' nothing about its details. I understand that Bailey and Hart have submitted some kind of plan that Is being considered with a bunch of others, now before the court.” From an unimpeachable source, The Times learned that Watson's name appeared before the insurance committee, although he w r as not present. Another man, close to the Hart proposition, told The Times that: “Watson's nothing but the store front in this thing.” Double Cross Charged Charges of double crossing are rampant among the interested parties in the various propositions. Julius Abrahamson, insurance man, is. the target for criticism from Bailey, and Abrahamson hurls the charges back at Bailey. t According to Abrahamson, who formerly had WTitten thousands of dollars’ worth of business for the Illinois Life several years ago. he has the, backing of a large bloc of policyholders. He said he first organized the policyholders’ committee, but when outside companies began to bid. he obtained the backing of the Bankj ers’ Life of Monmouth. 111. He said that Bailey was “thrown out” and took his plan before the Hart group. It was t revealed, however, that since Bailey has been w'orking for the Hart group, he also has been on the pay roll of the Bankers’ Life. Situation Is Tangled The entire situation is muddled. Only a few of the policyholders have forfeited their policies since the crash. “This company should, by all means, be kept within the state,” Abrahamson said. "If it goes out of ! Illinois, the difficulties are increased. I Two hundred employes, their abilities trained only to this business W'ill walk the streets. "A proper mutualization plan, administered honestly for the benefit of the policyholders and not for individual gain and greed, would result in erection of one of the greatest insurance businesses in the nation." The Illinois Life crashed with the downfall of the famed Stevens family. It is alleged that insurance assets went into hotel holdings and that one assurance of return would be the success of the LaSalle and Stevens hotels during the world’s fair. The insurance company already has obtained $1,125,000 from the R. F. C. The $3,000,000 Watson-Hart loan would offset this and a SIOO,OOO deficit. Calrstrom estimated that ! about $1,500,000 would remain to i Hart and associates after receivership and other debts had been hon- ! ored. Acceptance of the Hart proposal ! probably would result in Hart being named president. The plan before the court asserts that presidents of five large ifiutual insurance companies would comprise an advisory board when mutualization of the Illinois Life is started. It is agreed, the Watson-Hart group says, that Hart would take a “sacrifice salary" of not more than $17,500. A previous plan was withdrawn when it drew the ire of other interested parties by proposing $92,000 a year as salaries for a i few executives. Death claims would be paid in full, the plan says. A list of twelve nationally known bankers has been set out by the group to the court for verification 1 of Hart’s character and integrity.

COMTMCT BRIDGE BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League T PRESUME you often have heard the remark made when a certain expert was being discussed—- “ That fellow can tell every card you hold after the second or third play.” While that is not always true, literally, the better player does try to count a hand down. When your partner makes a bid, try to picture the hand. During the play of the hand, don’t count only the trump—try to visualize the entire hand, keeping track of each suit. You will be surprised, after just a little practice, how easily this can be accomplished. I thought the following hand presented an interesting play due to the fact that the declarer was able to count the hand down. South bid one heart. West made a negative double, showing strength in spades. North bid two diamonds —this is a strength-showing bid after a double. East passed, South bid two hearts. West passed, and North went to four hearts, which East wisely did not double. At one table a club was opened by West. The declarer won with the queen and returned a diamond. West won with the ace and led a small This made it rather simple for the declarer to make his contract. However, the interesting play came up at the table which opened the fourth best spade. East won with the ace and returned the ten of spades, which was won in dummy with the king. a n ■pvECLARER led. the ace of clubs, followed by a small club from dummy, and returned the six of diamonds, which West won with the ace. West immediately cashed the

queen of spades, East discarding a diamond. This discard of a diamond should show that East is in a position to ruff diamonds, or that he has nothing but diamonds and trump left. West returned, the four of diamonds, which was won in dummy with the queen, and when East showed up with a diamond, the declarer could now read practically every card in the two hands. The only chance the declarer now had to make his contract was to find West out of hearts, so the king of diamonds was led and the king of clubs discarded by the declarer. Os course, when West doss not trump, the five hearts are marked in the East hand. The six of hearts then was played from dummy, East played low, and declarer played the three. When the nine of hearts was led from dummy. East covered with the ten. declarer won with the king and then led a low heart to dummy's queen. A diamond then was played, and East was forced to ruff. The declarer over-ruffed and picked up East’s other trump. (CoDVricht. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.) INSPECTION IS BEGUN Officials of Three Counties Make Tour After Meeting Here.

—Dietz on Science— SAVANTS MAKE LIGHTNING BOLT i IN LABORATORY Generate 6,000,000 Volts to Create Flash From Spheres. BY DAVID DIETZ Scriops-Howard Science Editor TWO shining metal spheres, each fifteen feet in diameter, stand upon the top of 24-foot posts; in an abandoned dirigible hangar at Round Hill, Mass. Periodically, an electric discharge, to all intents and purposes a segment of a lightning bolt, leaps between the two spheres with the blinding flash and reverberating boom that one connects with a lightning bolt. When this happens, there are only three safe places to be. One, obviously, is outside the hangar. The other two, strange as it may seem, are inside one or the other of the two great spheres between which the lightning leaps. The layman, undoubtedly, would prefer to be outside the hangar. But scientists from the Massachusetts Intsitute of Technology have demonstrated that it is perfectly all right to stay inside the hollow spheres. They have fitted up the interior of the spheres as laboratories in which to make observations. Develops 6,000,000 Volts The two great spheres are part of the De Graaff electrostatic generator built upon the plans originated by Dr. Robert J. Van De Graaff. In preliminary tests, the device has developed an electrical pressure or potential of 6,000,000 volts. It was expected that a pressure' of 10,000,000 volts would be developed, but this figure was not reached. Dr. Karl T. Compton, president of M. I. TANARUS., explains that this was due to the leakage of the electrical charge to the steel walls of the hangar. These walls now are being insulated, and it is expected that the maximum figure will be reached. The layman will be puzzled to understand why, of all places, the interiors of the spheres between which the lightning is leaping, should be the safest places to be. The answer is that electric charges tend to stay upon the outside of metallic conductors. Charge Outside of Spheres All of the electric charges built up by the De Graaff generator are on the outside of the two big spheres. None of it gets through to the inside. The way in which the generator works easily is understood, if we keep in mind a few facts about electricity. One of the fundamental particles out of W'hich the atoms of matter are composed is the electron, a particle with a negative electrical charge. An electric current is merely a stream of electrons in motion. In the De Graaff generator, moving silk belts against w'hich brushes press, are used to create the charges. They are arranged so that one belt creates an excess of electrons on one sphere, while the other causes a deficiency.

Conservation State Loses Fortune in ‘Butchering’lts Timber

BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS, Time* Staff Writer RAINS come from clouds, clouds come from water vapor, water vapor comes from evaporating moisture. Where no water evaporates, there will be no clouds, no rain. A mature white oak tree thirty feet in diameter and forty feet high evaporates into the air seven barrels of water every day it carries leaves. Does that answer in part your question of the source of summer rains that, we need to mature our crops? Does*that explain why a treeless wilderness is so deficient in rainfall that it supports only a hydro-autogenous life. First we must cover the barren slopes with forest or grass and forest. That creates ground litter to hold back the water. When we hold back ground water, w-e raise the water table under the soil, create new springs, furnish an unending supply of water for our streams, hold back silt and the stream becomes clear, makes it better to live by and fish in. More water, a more rapid growing forest: a better forest, more evenly supplied water and the life cvcle begins. * ft a ALL too frequently of late years we hear of the cloud bursting rains that desolate the Mississippi valley. Such events do not occur in a forest-protected country. I am witness to a 29-inch 24-hour rain in Central America that did not raise the water in the Byana river more than ten inches. The jungle held it back, otherwise there would have been the usual Mississippi river parade, housetops floating out to sea. An evenly distributed water supply through the medium of forests gives an evenly distributed rainfall. That means prosperity. An evenly distributed forest means evenly distributed forest products and that again spells prasperity. The measure of any civilization is found in its wood-consuming capacity. The fellaheen of Egypt, the manpower slaves of the world, consume three and one-half cubic feet of food a man a year. The per capita consumption of wood in the United States per annum is a cube of wood measuring six feet or 216 cubic feet. From the day we are born on a wooden Jted to the day we pass out in a wooden box, our lives are circumscribed by forest products. Our rise as a civilization can be traced in our wood-consuming capacity. a st a INDIANA within the memory of our present older generation, produced its own forest products. In 1932, despite the depression, she imported $27,000,000 of wooden products. That was one-half the total of state taxes; that was the additional burden we shouldered to pay for our timber butchering program since 1850, And the end is not yet—not by a long shot. We will have this bill to pay to some other forest-produc-ing state for years to come, or until we grow our own timber supply again. Like stream pollution, like fish and game destruction, like soil erosion, the depletion of our own timber supply adds that other dollar

to the drain on our over-drained' pocketbook until we have out- i cameled the camel. We never seem ' to know under which straw to permit our back to break. ana TN a timber country—and I formerly lived in one—good sound white oak sold for sll a thousand board feet, S2O dressed ready sor 1 use. In Indiana today, if you can get it, sound white oak sells at! $125 a thousand and we have arrived at the day when we attribute a millionaire complex to any man who trims his home in oak, any kind of oak. We store up and treasure a solid walnut- board like fine gold, forgetting that Dad's old cow barn was made out of black walnut from the plimsoll mark to the gable end. We are, in many phases of our i national life, a ridiculous people. We destroy the things we love the mat and, after destroying them, we stand in dumb wonderment and wait for a savior. Unless the proper, combination of circumstances develops, his arrival may be long delayed. If he does arrive with a program of reconstruction, our mass indifference and our inability to think in terms of rehabilitation make it almost as difficult to back us up behind the plan as to put the plan itself into operation. Our lazy-minded indifference to any project excepting the one concerning our own personal next hour program will make it tough going for the reforesting advocates. CITY TO MEET COSTS OF EAST SIDE PAVING 75 Per Cent of Burden to Be Lifted on Improvement. A compromise whereby the city has agreed to pay 75 per cent of the cost of improvement from Highland avenue to East street, will allow the completion of the East New York street paving project. An agreement was reached Friday between the works board and Merle N. A. Walker, attorney representing a group of remonstrators, which will allow a forty-five-foot street of concrete at an estimated cost of $68,000. The project will be completed in tiifte for the state fair. Sept. 2 to 9 in line with the works board policy of having no major traffic lane construction under way during the fair. STEAL SEWING MACHINE Loot Is Taken by Thieves in Local Homes. An electric sewing machine valued at $l2O was stolen from the house of Miss Rose Lewis, Negro, of 423. North California street, Friday by thieves who unlocked a back door. Mrs. J. S. Prindle, 5757 North Meridian street, reported to police that a window in her home had been opened by thieves Friday and the house ransacked, 7 cents, car tokens and keys were missing. A white leather hand bag was stolen from the home of Miss Frances Kelly, 2724 North Talbot street, Friday nifeht. The bag was later found in an alley, but $2.50 was missing.

COAL LEADERS . OF U STATES IN CONFERENCE Operators and Union Chiefs Discuss Proposals for Industry Code. Rp United Prr* WASHINGTON. July B—Coal operators from fourteen states, and representatives of the United Mine Workers of America conferred again today on code proposals for the Industry after hearing Industrial Administrator Hugh Johnson urge the necessity of eliminating cutthroat competition. “One of the troubles of your industry," Johnson said at a Joint meeting of the labor and operating groups, “is what I call chiseling—selling below the cost of production. Under the code you will have an opportunity to prevent this." Johnson indicated he desired a coal code embracing the entire industry. The group of operators here represents only a section. Wage differentials between northern and southern coal fields, and provision for a shorter work-week were considered today. $2 CAR IS WRECKED:’ PAIR UNDER ARREST Police Decide to I,et Judge Figure Out the Tangle. The city of Indianapolis is in possession of an automobile valued at approximately $2 and two persons are under arrest as the result of an auto accident on Friday night at Louisiana and East streets. A light coupe driven by James Nescell. 18, of 929 Daly street, hit a utility pole. Nichols escaped injury. but the car was wrecked. Along came Melvin Lifford. 21. of 861 Buchanan street, who offered $2 for the remains. James scratched his head dubiously and agteed. but didn’t have a* certificate of title. James told police he bought the car from another man and the other man said he didn't sell the car to James. The police did a little headscratching themselves and decided to let the judge figure out the tangle. They booked James for not having a certificate of title or driver's license and Lifford for vagrancy. The $2 wreck was hauled in, ARMED MILKMAN NABS TWO THEFT SUSPECTS Drivers for Onp Company Accused of Robbing Rival.
