Despite the incident, mail service is returning to normal as flood waters in the East recede. Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker said. Trains again are using routes through Pennsylvania, it was said.

Important Collection of Rookwood Pottery Now on Display Here

This Is a general view of the exhibit showing many of the small pieces. BY ANTON SCHERRER WHAT is, perhaps, the most important collection of Rool vood pottery ever assembled in Indianapolis, is row on view at Charles Mayer and Cos. The show will continue through Saturday. Fifty-six years ago, Mrs. Maria Longworth Storer set up a little pottery, named it “Rookwood,” after her father’s country place near Cincinnati. Today, Cincinnati and Rookwood are as difficult to dissociate as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, pride and prejudice or liver and bacon. Still more difficult to dissociate are Mrs. Storer and William Morris. Like that great pioneer of the English Handicraft movement who left the fog and fumes of London for the free air of Merton Abbey, Mrs. Storer left the turmoil and set her shop on one of Cincinnati’s hills. Like William Morris, too, she sought to revive an interest in traditional design and craftsmanship—the kind of craftsmanship that is perfectly content to stay within the reach of its tools and materials. nun SHE found the materials in her hill. To this day, the clays used in Rookwood-ware are entirely American and largely from the Ohio valley. These native clays determined the early color quality of yellows, browns and reds. Rookwood still gives a good accounting of its rich “brown period,” but it now reaches out to embrace all colors and any number of original glazes and lustres. Indeed, Rookwood springs a big surprise just about every five years. First big surprise was the discovery in 1884 of the famous “Tiger Eye,” a crystalline formation that lies deep in the substance of the glaze. Since then, they have produced “Mat Glaze (1896), “Vellum” (1904) and “Soft Porcelain” (1915). For the fortieth anniversary (1920), Rookwood revived its “Tiger Eye” in a more varied range of color. After which came the gradual and full perfection of “Oxblood” and the “Flambe” types. For their fiftieth anniversary, they brought out a richer red than “Oxblood.” At present, they are concerned with new glaze qualities in wax mat and aventurine.

This is a view of a Rookwood mantel, Mosaic design. It is difficult, of course, to predict what the Rookwood people still have up their sleeves, but it is perfectly safe to say that they have their eyes on modern trends. One of the exhibits in the Mayer Show looks as if Pablo Picasso might have had a hand in it.

IMMEDIATE WAR UNLIKELY, LOCAL TEACHERS TOLD Accident May Start Conflict, Dr. Ethan Colton Says in Talk. Immediate war is not likely in Europe, says Dr. Ethan Colton, world traveler and author, but world peace may be at the mercy of an unforeseeable, unpreventable accident. Speaking last night at Caleb Mills Hall before the Federation of Indianapolis Public School Teachers, Dr. Colton stressed the fact that the time has come for the United States to wake to the realization that it is impossible to remain unaffected by the actions of European nations. “The French shout security and the Germans yell for equality,” Dr. Colton said, “and the diametrically opposed desires of these two feudist nations is one of the major reasons why a war cloud hangs like a pall over Europe. Much of Germany’s recent activity—rearmartwnt, militarization of the Rhineland—is justified because of the raw deal she got in the Versailles treaty. March Was No Surprise “It was utterly fantastic to expect 65,000,000 Germans not to arm themselves and not to occupy their beloved Rhineland. Not many European statesmen were surprised when Hitler marched into the demilitarized zone.” The Ethiopian-Italian war probably will end in a compromise, Dr. Colton stated. Mussolini will be permitted to hold some of the country, but the Ethiopian emperor will retain his sovereignty, and England will see that her interests around the headwaters of the Nile are protected. French peasants will not go out of their own country to fight, the speaker said. The youth of Germany, Poland and Italy believe that all the grave European problems can be settled by compromise, he said. Dr. Colton urged that the United States, remaining outside the League, exert its influence toward a peaceful settlement of European problems.

4 Are Killed in Missouri Tornado as Snow, Dust Storms Lash Midwest

(Continued From Page One) pled oil dericks n°ar Kilgore, unroofed the airport hangar at Tyler, wrecked a hangar and damaged three planes at the Longview airport and damaged crops. Larkin. Four Die in Tornado By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 24. Dust storms, a tornado and snow storms swept parts of the Midwest and today left behind destruction in the wake of the first two and hopes for a wheat crop in the snow area. Four perso. \s lost their lives when a tornado whipped along a 50mile path in south central Missouri late yesterday. Houses were destroyed at Niangua, in which section Miss Ruby Keesling, Bert Sell and Mrs. Jess Elmore were killed. Henry Elmore, 42, woodchopper, was fatally injured when his home near Oakland collapsed. The absence of Elmore’s wife and seven children probably saved their lives. Over Kansas, western Missouri and vast prairie stretches to the west and south a pall of dust was whipped up by high winds. The storm was the worst since those of last April, when highway traffic was halted and trains were stalled. The high winds, however, seemed to have served a double purpose in clearing the air after first filling it with the dust. Today the skies were comparatively free of the fine silt and the weather bureau prediction for possible rains held the hopes of farmers who need moisture for their wheat. The snow fell in southeastern Colorado and western Kansas, heart of the “dust bowl.” In this area, where a moisture deficiency has existed for years, the heaviest snow of the year started falling late yesterday. The snow was heavy and wet, and farmers believed it would be sufficient to settle the dust and wet down their fields. As the clouds drifted northeast-

ward airports took extra precautions. Visibility dropped to zerozero at many points within a few minutes, a pilot who flew into Kansas City from Amarillo, Tex., said he hardly saw the earth the entire trip. He went to 13.000 feet but still found dust drifting into the cabin of his snug ship. Agricultural agents refused to hazard a guess today on the damage the storm may have caused. It covered parts cf Kansas. Oklahoma. Colorado, Texas and New Mexico. They were positive that the snow, however, had done much to insure a crop of winter wheat. Dust Storm in State Thick clouds of swirling dust today reduced the visibility at Terre Haute and South Bend to one mile, and J. H. Armington, Federal meteorologist, said there probably was dust in the upper air here. He said it was probable that Indianapolis might be hit by the storm. EMPLOYERS TO STUDY SECURITY PROVISIONS Wholesalers Meet Tomorrow for Conference. The first of a series of study groups on the application of unemployment insurance sponsored by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce is to take place at 7:15 tomorrow at the Chamber. William H. Book, executive vice president of the Chamber, announced that the meeting will be conducted for the wholesalers’ group. Probable speakers are George S. Olive, Chamber president; C. Harvey Bradley, chairman of the wholesale committee, and Virgil Shepherd, head of the governmental research department. Retailers and manufacturers are to meet later, but no dates have been set as yet, Mr. Book said.

DRASTIC CHAIN STORE ACT TO BE TEMPERED Two Committees of Congress Prepare to Modify Provisions. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. March 24. House and Senate Judiciary Committees prepared today to temper the drastic “anti-chain store” bill sponsored by Senator Robinson (D., Ark.) and Rep. Patman tD., Tex.). The House committee was ready to report favorably a modified version of the Patman bill, continuing the prohibitions of the original draft against undue quantity discounts on goods and against pseudoadvertising and brokerage allowances, but eliminating the provision for triple-damage suits. Strong sentiment is apparent in the House for some such legislation. In the Senate, where the Robinson bill has been favorably reported, the Judiciary Committee, apparently smarting under criticism that no hearings were held on it, opened a two-day hearing on two modified bills, one introduced by Senators Borah tR., Ida.) and VanNuys (D., Ind.), and the other by Senator Copeland iD., N. Y.). The Food and Grocery Chain Stores of America. Inc., a trade association which has been most critical of the Robinson-Patman bill, described the two new Senate bills as “designed to prevent monopoly and the lessening of competition without destroying long recognized and beneficial business practices.’* Evansville Banker Dies Times Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., March 24. Henry E. Dreier, banker and former realtor, died at his home here yesterday. Mr. Dreier, who was 69, was vice president of the People Trust and Savings Bank and the Union Building and Loan Association.
