Here is a drawing by Elsa Hsrtman of Ludwig Lewissohn, whose new book, "Creative America.” is published today by Harper Ai Brothers. a a a RV WALTER I). HICKMAN r last few chilly night* I have done one pleasant thing. Tve been lounging in front of a fireplace with a copy of a murder mystery in my hands. It is funny how wintry weather •nd a comfortable fireside gives one an appetite for mystery stories. I'm no exception to the rule because I like to play detective . . . that is as long as I can be comfortable at home and let the other fellow do all the work. This time it was Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard who was the fellow who did all the work. E. C. R. Lorac. the author of "The Case of Colonel Marchand.” lets the reader know that the colonel died suddenly while, or shortly afterward, he entertained Karin Hamilton, a pretty pianist, at tea In his lovely home in London. We know’ that Miss Hamilton was at tea on a cool fall afternoon. We know that several hours after she entered the room. Gibbs, the butler, found his master dead. That's all we know, because the door to the room was closed and most of the time the author had us in the servants’ quarters watching Gibbs, the chauffeur apd three other servants have their tea and cakes. a a a THE author lets the reader become suspicious of the beautiful visitor, because we do not know her name. In fact, we have to wait until Inspector MacDonald arrives on the scene. The mysterious guest flees the room and disappears before Gibbs finds the colonel's body. As the Scotland Yard detective gets busy on the case, we discover that the colonel had a weakness for pretty women. We soon learn from MacDonald that a string of pearls valued at a large fortune, disappeared along with a costly ring when the fair guest left the room. At this point of the investigation, things look very badly for our pretty pianist. Then other characters become mixed up in the investigation. There is the colonels nephew and heir. Derrick Marchand. who quarreled with the colonel the night before the murder and even returned in secret to the great house late in the night. a a a THEN the author gets us all confused because Derrick Marchand has a "double.” so far as appearances are concerned, in William Heythwaite, a chemist, who lives in the very same apartment building with the beautiful pianist. And so here we are: The detective discovers the fact that either young Marchand. or his double, tried to pawn the stolen pearls and ring. I certainly don't want to ruin a mighty comfortable evening for you. I won't tell you the solution. This yarn has been written in an easy-going wav. The inspector ffom Scotland Yard is a hard thinker, but not a fast worker. Yes, he gets his man. although one of the suspects drops dead in the scene which explains the mystery. "The Case of Colonel Marchand” is published by Macaulay. New York, and sells for $2. a a a I HAVE been asked to recommend an authentic story of college football. I think that I have found such a book in “Under the Goal Posts,” by Eddie Dolley. and published by John Lowell Pratt, New York. It sells for $1.25. "Chuck” Arnold is the footoall player in this story who had faith in the fine qualities of the game. "Chuck" is a splendid chap and he lives and plays football as it exists. Here is a man's game told in a man's way. THIEF STEALS COAT OUT OF COURTROOM Bold Robber Brave* Close Vigil Maintained by Police.

New First Lady of Nation’s No. 1 City Is a ‘Working Wife’; Calmly Slips Into Old Role of Secretary to Her Husband. BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—New York City, for the first time, w’ill have a First Lady who was a working woman. Marie Fisher La Guardia w’as the major's secretary for twelve years before she became his wife. Through the entire campaign she stood by, spending her days at fusion headquarters, managing his correspondence, and appointments, sifting out visitors, and her evenings attending rallies with him. As the mayor's wife, there is little question that she will be as engrossed in city bus franchises, new homes for the poor, adequate relief and other important city matters as her husband, even though she does not go to the city hall daily with him.

Anyone, seeing them together at fusion headquarters through the campaign, knows full well the emotional dependence which the little major puts upon her. She's a perfect foil for his excitable, impetuous temperament. Through the terrific pressure of the campaign. she maintaained an uunbelievably cheerful calm. She was one of the few who never got rused or excited: one of the very few who never "snarled." She's a little bobbed-haired blend woman with steady, friendly blue eyes. Her calm poise is one of her chief charms. She has a pleasing way of talking in clearcut. direct manner about the subject at hand. She has that enviable efficiency which gets things done so wall and easily that she never seems too busy to handle something else. Her mind "clicks” with lightning rapidity. She w’astes few words. But she has a certain feminine softness about her that doesn't make you resent her efficiency. For twelve years she handled all the congressmen, senators, lobbyists labor leaders and private constituents who visited Congressman La Guardia’s Washington office. Her exceptionally alert mind, remarkable memory and very human friendliness w r ere invaluable to him. He often has said that when he married her had to get tw’o secretaries to take her place and "together they weren’t as good as Marie.” During the heat of the campaign. whenever some very important statement w’as made or some decision settled. La Guardia w’ould look around the room, spot her and say, peremptorily, "Take it.” Wherever she was. she would begin making short-hand notes, on a blotter, a newspaper, or on the back of a letter. Her pencil

In fact, he orders her a: ad in quite a definite manner, when he is excited. It doesn't bother her. She knows her husband as few women ever know their men.

Jean is the daughter of a friend and is scheduled for adoption by the La Guardias. Mrs. La Guardia wears no makeup, except lipstick and powder. Her own coloring is high and attractive. Her bobbed goldish blond haiar is thick and wavy, and she wears it simply, parted on the left side. It waves neatly across her head. MUM HER taste in clothes is quiet but excellent. She always has several gocd-lcoking black satin dresses, usually unrelieved by touches of color or costume jewelry. She w-ears blue a lot. too, and has a preference for little hats of good line, and fine material rather than ornately decorated ones. To date she has never had time to develop hobbies. Probably she would say that "the major," as she calls her husband, is her hobby. She looks surprised if reporters ask her whether she can cook, sew, keep house. "Os course,” is her answer. But, like most working women who have had a hand in world affairs, home routine is not all-engrossing. However, one event she does enjoy particularly. That is when the major has some particular friends up for Sunday night supper. Then La Guardia puts on an apron end cooks a spaghetti supper. And those who have eaten it will tell you that it is no wonder that M~r. La Guardia enjoys her husband's cooking.

Senators Dislike State Chairman Patronage Plan

Van Nuys First to Fiay Farley in Ft. Wayne Receiver Case. R;t Time* Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 10— Post-master-General James Farley's efforts to build up the Democratic party by giving the state party chairman a greater hand in the distribution of patronage has caused much discontent among Democratic senators and congressmen. Patronage is the price that many lawmakers have been accustomed to exact for support of the administration's legislative program. In the past, a state chairman has been regarded as someone necessary to mobilize workers and raise money for election campaigns. He has had very little to say about who gets the government jobs. Senators and representatives regard federal patronage as their own soup. They don't like to have to ask for the concurrence of their respective state chairmen, w’hich is a Farley rule. Sometimes that concurrence is withheld, and w’hen Chief Patronage Arbiter Farley sides with the chairman, he makes the lawmaker mad. That happened with explosive results last week W’hen State Democratic Chairman R. Earl Peters’ candidate for receiver of a large bank in Ft. Wayne. Ind., was named over the protest of Senator Frederick Van Nuys. Incidentally, Peers' law partner, also against Van

STATE FIRMS’ PAY ROLLS UP $36,000,000 Survey Shows 4,000.000 Put to Work in Nation Under NRA. PRICE INDEX INCREASES Amount of Unemployment Relief Has Decreased, Probers Find. In a review of the work of the first three months of NRA by the district and state recovery boards, it developed that the following achievements have been accomplished nationally. 1. About 4,000,000 workers have receeived jobs with an increase of at least $50,000,000 in weekly pay rolls. 2. Total pay rolls hav increased materially. 3. More than $2,000,000,000 have been added to the value of farm ciops. 4. The general commodity price index has risen considerably since March. 5. The volume of business in the country has increased. The amount of unemployment relief has decreased. 6. Surveys made in fifty-eight Indiana tow’ns and cities indicate that there has been an increase in annual pay rolls of over $36,000,000. due to the NRA program. These improvements in the economic conditions of the country are due in large part to the action of the government, according to the members of the district and state recovery boards.
