STATE AT TOP IN PRODUCTION OF ROCK WOOL State Publication Sheds Light on Insulating Material. Indiana is one of the more important rock wool producing states, according to an article in the May issue of Outdoor Indiana, a publication of the State Conservation Department. Within the last few years, the use of this insulating material has become widespread, the article says, and the industry, started 40 years ago near Alexandria, now takes in the Salem district as well as the Wabash-Alexandria district. In the northern afea, outcrops of wool rock are found along the courses of the major streams and of some of the major tributaries where the streams have cut through the glacial drift and exposed the bedrock. In the Salem area, the deposits occur coextensively with the formations of Indiana limestone. In both areas the quantities of rock suitable for the manufacture of the wool is practically inexhaustible, the article says. How Rock Wool Is Made Rock wool is made by melting rock or rock mixtures of suitable composition in cupolas, using coke as a fuel. The molten material is allowed to flow in a steady stream into a blast of air or steam by which it is distintegrated into a mass of fluffy material, generally white. * It is then a tangled assortment of very thin glass fibers interspersed with small glass beads, or ‘‘shot.” Before it is ready for market, it may be subjected to various refining and fabricating processes. Rock wool is used mainly for insulating residences. It is as much In demand for modernizing homes already built as for new construction, the article says. As the demand for air conditioning grows, the demand for rock wool will increase, the writer declares, and points out that fuel sources may i be saved considerably by its use.

FOLLY > FAREWELL (Eill

BEGIN HERE TODAY Linda Bourn*, 20 year* old, pretty, it left almost penniless by the sodden death of her father. Trier Gardiner, newspaper reporter, helps her get a Job writing society new*. Linda I* In lore with Dix Carter, hut he (oea abroad to study singing. When Peter asks her to marry him she agrees, but postpone* the wedding. Honey Harmon, him star, come* to i Newton, making a personal appearance" tour. Peter goe* to Interview her and sell* her a scenario written by Linda. Peter turns down a Job in Hollywood, but when Linda receives an offer there | she accept*. In Hollywood no one pay* any attention to Linda antil one day, in a | conference, she suggest* that Cooper Veneli, an actor, has been miscast. She is quoting Peter, thouch no one knows | this. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWELVE FOR two months Linda had spent the days since her arrival in Hollywood sitting with her feet on the pulled-out drawer of her desk, idly reading old scripts. At lunch time she had found a secluded table in the Commonwealth lunch room, then wandered over the lots, watching the making of pictures and going back to write gay little letters to Pete in which she pictured herself as Alice in Wonderland. Studio life was fascinating to watch, but Linda had been bored. Then came that fateful day of the conference. Linda had been invited out of courtesy. Directors, producers and writers had met to discuss the falling stars, the pictures that were not good ‘‘boxoffice,” and out of it all had come one suggestion from the unknown Linda Bourne. And a falling star had become once more a brilliant possibility. Linda was no longer bored. The studio had bought Myron’s ‘‘Life of Keats" and they were already at work on the picture for Cooper Veneli. He put aside his guns, his caps, his turtle-nc-CK sweaters and his gangster roles. He became Keats. The rushes came through and the raves followed. Linda was famous. Miracle girl, they called her. But, by this time, Linda was no longer surprised by Hollywood. And in a little time she forgot it hadn’t been her own idea —that she had only said what Pete had written. n m a SHE had long since thrown away the telegram from Pete. She accepted her increased salary as easily as she accepted her move to the executive offices and the services of a secretary. They gave her the book to adapt, and Linda learned what adapting meant. Where the role didn’t fit the actor, the actor wasn’t fitted to the role; the writer changed the role. When they brought her a copy of her original script, which Pete had sold to Honey Harmon almost half a year before, Linda thought the plot was really her own. If there was a third character that Pete had written into it,, long before in the Blade office. Linda didn’t remember and Pete had never told her what he had done. When Linda made the first speech that made her famous in moviedom that day she took several rounds of

j the ladder of success at once, but j when, three months later, lunching casually with Hogaxth James who had played English character parts ; for the last five years, she suggested that he had a kind of menace in : his kindly face that was exactly right for a series of new mystery stories, she was made! She forgot that Pete Gardiner had pointed this out to her after a movie they had seen together at the Palace at Newtown. It wasn’t lonely for Linda in Hollywood after that. She had moved from the hotel to an apartment house, bought herself a modest car, and like every one else in Hollywood, went to the movies. She met a few people who lived in the same apartment house, but too often found herself lonelier than she dared write to Pete that first year. n n n A YOUNG woman with power—and Linda had power since she was credited with "discoveries” —need not have feared loneliness. Linda could be useful and she was attractive. She was chic. She learned to dress well. Any old hat and knitted things didn’t go. In Hollywood the fashion was sports clothes and evening clothes, and Linda’s tailored white tweed, her broad-shouldered, slim-hipped tailleurs, her fresh violets, white or deep purple, which she always wore, her Paris-made evening frocks were distinguished where all clothes were beautiful. Her soft, clipped voice and her dignified bearing were often unkind contrast to her sensational sisters in the picture colony. Picture people wanted to know Linda for herself. as well as for what she could do for them. She spent money recklessly on clothes, not because she wanted to create an impression, but because she liked to drive a good car. She gave parties. They were small and intimate. Dinners for four or six at the most and never for two. Sundays she was at home from 4 to 7. serving a discreet number of cocktails and excellent food. It became smart to be invited to a Bourne Sunday afternoon. Linda knew the stars, the important directors, the producers. She went to the fights, the football games, to Palm Springs and Arrowhead for week-ends. She spoke a few words into the "mike” at the important openings at Sid Grauman’s Chinese Theater. She became a celebrity among celebrities, and she still wrote to Peter, but her letters grew less frequent and told him more than she thought. Pete knew he had lost her. and pride kent him from into the life she had made for herself. Pete put himself into his play. And one day it was done and he sent it to New York. 'i * u LINDA was in Hollywood 181 months before she met Basil; Thorne. Not that she "didn’t know |

’ him by name. Or by reputation, i Thorne was the director who had made the great money - making musicals. His pictures had brought anew medium to picture making. Extravaganzas, they wefe like their creator. Dazzling. gargantuan, filled with contrasts, romantic, worldly and incredible. Linda met Basil Thorne at I Honey Harmon’s bungalow at Malibu. She drove down with Cora Jarrett, editor of a movie fan magazine. "Maybe you’ll like him, and maybe you won’t. Most women do.” Cora, speaking of Thorne, said to Linda. "It would be hard to describe him. I don’t know whether he is a#cad or a gentleman. I don’t even know whether he is ugly or handsome. He’s that kind. Most women are crazy about him. but maybe it’s just Hollywood. He is having a cycle of blonds now.” “Cycle of blonds?” Linda asked. "Yes. When he first came it was the Dietrich type. Then he went in for gamins. Then he took the sophisticated ladies in his stride, so to speak, but now it’s blonds. Must I say more?” "You might mention one,” Linda answered. "Honey Harmon.” "Oh Honey, my patroness!” “■\7"OUR hostess, will do,” Cora X answered. "We all know Honey bought your first script, but don’t let her get the idea that she has anything to do with your success. Honey has a way of making unexpected use of any little thing she thinks belongs to her. Incidentally, she thinks Thorne belongs to her. I thought I’d tell you just in case—” "I remember someone who belonged to me once and she wasn’t above appropriating him.” Linda said that before she meant to. "In Hollywood?” Cora asked. "No,” Linda answered briefly. "Just what I thought! You’ve been out here a couple of years and I haven’t heard about a single romance, Linda. Is it this someone back east?” "It isn’t anybody at all. No romances. All work.” Linda wanted Cora to get her mind off the subject. Cora was a Hollywoodite and she could use any information herself. Not that Linda had any to give

IROPER TO HAVE JOBLESS COUNT MADEIN FALL Commerce Department to Compile Statistics on Unemployment. By Scripps-Hotrard Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May s.—The long controversy as to how many men and women are unemployed is to be ended this fall by an official government census. Secretary of Commerce Roper made this promise to the United States Chamber of Commerce, here this week. The census will be taken, he said, as soon as the census of business and the census of manufactures, now in progress, are completed This will probably be In the late fall. Census to Follow Election The tabulations of business and manufactures are yielding valuable material on employment and unemployment, according to Roper, and when they are completed the government will know what additional data are required "to give an adequate and intelligible picture.” Roper designated the new tabulation he proposes as an occupational and unemployment census. Chamber of Commerce speakers referred sharply several times to conflicting figures on the total numher. There had been no romance in her life, unless she counted Pete, and after so many months that was so remote that Linda forgot most of the things she thought she would always remember about him. She thought of him now, and missed him suddenly. Not because he was Pete, but because she was a girl and she had no one to love. Work, friends, parties, adulation never made up for the lack of love in any girl’s life and, for the first time, Linda was beginning to realize it. And then she met Basil Thome. (To Be Continued)
