NO, even the crudest, rudest savages save their women and children in times of disaster, partly because of their helplessness in saving themselves and partly because in all races it has been considered cowardly for a man to run away and not save them. But all these attitudes, I think, have their origin in the instinct of race preservation, because if the women and children should perish the race would perish.

THIS MAY SEEM a curious question but it is one of the biggest questions in modern business and industry. Thirty years ago Frank Gilbreth, founder of motioneconomy, showgd that no bricklayer

could afford to stoop and scoop up a batch of mortar that had dropped from his trowel. This one motion cost too much. He showed the enormous cost of useless motions both in constructive operations and in trying to save tiny bits of material. For anybody short of a pauper to pick up a pin costs 10 to 1000 times as much as the pin is worth.

THEY certainly seem to. Examples. Fred Fitzsimmons, Giants’ pitcher whose homer clinched a National League pennant, accidentally stepped on a pile of bats of his club and “took all the hits” out of them.

Olsen and Johnson say that only nce in their 23 year career as comedians have they met their match as practical jokers. It was in Spokane, Wash., during a theater engagement when a jeweler, Mr. Levitch, brought some 400 people to see their act. When Olsen and Johnson came on the stage and started firing blank cartridges, half the audience stood up and did the same. It almost caused a riot.

When Elmer A. Sperry, for his gyroscopic inventions, is nonored cn the Cavalcade of America broadcast tonight at 7 p. m. over CBS-WFBM, his son, Elmer A. Sperry, Jr, will be in the studio audience. The younger Sperry has been ac-

tive in carrying on his father’s work. Last year Philadelphia's Franklin

famous

| Institute, through its Committec on

Science and the Arts, presented Mr. Sperry Jr. with its Longstreth Medal of Merit. The presentation was made “for Mr. Sperry’s work in the development of blind flying instruments employing gyroscopic principles, which development includes the gyroscopic horizon, directional gyro and automatic airplane pilot.” u u ” Final results of the National Corn Husking contest are to be announced during a special broadcast over the NBC-Blue network tomorrow at 3:45 p. m. The broadcast will be heard almost immediately after the weighingin and tabulation of the records compiled by the 20 huskers competing in the event. Hal Totten, veteran NBC sports announcer, also will interview the winner of the “husking derby” during the broadcast.

Earlier in the day, on the National Farm and Home Hour broadcast at 11:30 a. m. over NBC-WLW, Everett Mitchell and Hal Totten will give a row-by-row description of the contest’s progress. Both broadcasts will originate at the scene of the contest on the Weber Bros. farm near Marshall, Saline County, Missouri.

One of the most interesting bits of short-wave news for those to whom the South Seas have a special appeal is the announcement that Pitcairn Island—the Pacific outpost made famous by the novel and movie, “Mutiny on the Bounty’ ’—is to have a new short-wave transmitter. Although Pitcairn Island has had a small, battery-operated transmitter for some time, the new one is said to be more powerful and will rewain the same call letters—PITC. Since there is no electricity on the island, the new station is to be provided with a wind-driven charging apparatus. Heretofore, it has been necessary to ship the batteries to other islands having power-driven electrical plants when recharging was necessary.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon, celebrated author, artist and historian, will be interviewed by Peggy Wood, actress and writer, during a special broadcast at 6:30 p. m. today over the NBC-Red. During the program, which is entitled “Thé Arts for Everyone,” Miss Wood will question Mr, Van Loon on the application of the general theme of his buok “The Arts”--the close relationship of art to ordinary life. a 8 9

A true story which resembles an old-fashioned movie melodrama will be unfolded on Phil Lord's Gang Busters program today at 9 p. m. over CBS-WFBM. The story of Helen Seiler’s miraculous escape from a gruesome death planned for her and her gangster sweetheart will highlight the broadcast. She and her sweetheart, Harold Baker, who were attempting to go straight, were taken by revengeful members of his former gang to a shack in the hills of South Dakota. There they were placed on top of 6; tons of dynamite to which a fuse had been lighted. Before the resultant explosion which killed Baker and supposedly broke $20,000 worth of windows in neighboring Sioux Falls, Miss Seiler managed to crawl to safety. 8 s # Tommy Riggs has just received some disappointing news. When he sought to insure against the joss of his “other voice” with which he creates his imaginary little girl, Betty Lou, he was flatly refused by several insurance companies. It seems that Mr. Riggs, having heard that Edgar Bergen had insured his dummy, Charlie McCarthy, for $10,000 against fire and theft, began to wonder what would happen if he lost Betty Lou's voice.. He consulted an insurance man about a policy, but was informed that the company would have to refuse him. Every company came back with the same reply. They decided it would be impossible to determine beyond reasonable doubt whether the voice had actually been lost, or whether “a st~te of mind on the part of Tommy Riggs would destroy the other voice.” In other words, the insurance companies ruled that officially there was no Betly Lou and insurance could not be issued against something happening to somebody who didn’t exist in the

first place—or something.
