whose pulses are so even and whose nerves so true they could come, un- moved, into such a place as this?"
 These women made one final ges- ture of feminlnity. As the warden was about to put the electrodes in place. they held out their full. long skirts and made q screen, moved by common impulse to hide what he was doing from the men who were stopping forward with petrified cagerness to miss no detail of the dcath."
 Dead silence prevailed. In a few minutes the affair was over.
 Ten years later. Mrs. Mary Farm or was electrocuted in Auburn pris- on. She was poor woman, married to a poor man. She murdered R more prosperous neighbor and took possession of her estate. The night before her execution she confessed her guilt and made a statement in which she absolved her husband.
 She divided her last night be- tween prayer and wr4,ing a long letter to her infant son.
 Alter being dressed in a shirt waist and skirt for her execution, she gave away the pack of cards with which she had played solitaire so often during her Il months of imprisonment.
 T will go quietly. like a queen going 10 Gods high court, to atone for my sins" she said And she did, though her appearance was not i regal.
 1 She was allowed, on the way to chair. to see her husband, James Farmer, who was in a cell in an- other part of the prison. Their greeting was warm, but was without even handshake, by the warden's orders.
 A Photograph Next to Her Heart l With two men and two women at- tendants she was taken into the death chamber. Her skirt and her stocking on one side were slit to the , knees. Without a tremor or a mur-
 
 chair and was securely strapped. Current was applied three times be- fore she was pronounced dead Pressed to her heart the under taker found a photograph of her child.
 There wa. no less sentiment against the execution of Mrs Farm CT than for Mrs. Place. Charles E. Hughes, governor of the state, was urged to act in her behalf, but he did not. Thousands of letters and appeals from all parts of the coun- try did not change his attitude.
 Neither Mrs. Farmer nor Mrs. Place was woman who approached Ruth Snyder in appearance, or in education. or social background. But both were stoics.
 New York wonders what Ruth's final day will be like if the calen- dar's drab count Is not interfered with.

ble's group of great spiral nebulae. known as Mcssier 3 and Messier 33. proved to be slightly more than 900,00 light years away. Know ing the angular diameters of these two objects, it is easy to say that the diameter of Messier 31 is i<oue 46,O00 light years, and of Messier 8. 15,O00 light years. These are minimum values.
 Stars Larger Than Sun
 Astronomers now hold confident ly to the belief that each of these objects contains tens of millions of stars, stars larger on the average than our sun,
 It is but a brief step to the gen. eral conclusion that the tens of thousands of spiral nebulae are great stellar systems situated at different and enormous distances from us There appears to be no reason to doubt that many of these objects already recorded upon our photographic plates lie at such stu pendous distances that their light rays which are now reaching us left their sources twenty million, or fifty million, or a hundred mil- lion years ago.
 Our knowledge Of the spiral nebulae appears to be in harmony with the hypothesis that our stellar system is a spiral ncbula and that we are living in a spiral nebula.

 Urbandale was incorporated this fall, when residents of the little settlement decided 1t could function better in a civic way if it were an entity unto itself.
 Deciding that women should rule the village, the men quietly elected a governing board composed en- tirely of women.
 At first astonished, the women immediately got busy on a "city beautiful program. They provided that each house should stand in q tract of two acres or more and that no commercial enterprises should te established on Urbandale's main street, which Is its only street.
 Board members, immersed in civic problems, say the petticoat government probably will be ready to retire at the next election in April.

WOMEN DISCOVER SILK

Warsaw. Poland, Dec. 2. P'-- Polish peasant girls, to be in the latest style, simply must have a crepe de chine blouse or dress for Sundays, otherwise they would die from jealousy or anger.
 It all happened because two young students introduced some silk worms into the country and now the silk industry Is flourishing.
 Poland is, nevertheless, a coun- try of beautiful linen. Fields of flax are seen everywhere and nearly all peasant cloth, though very thick, at times. Is pure linen
 But the peasant women who for centuries have been wearing only wool and linen now find their ward robe incomplete without a silk blouse or dress.
 The traditional linen blouse will soon be a thing of the past on the Polish farms as the girls fall more and more in line with their city cousins.

RAILROADS ABLE
 ID RAISE CAPITAL
Stock Sales Again Are Per,
 niSSible

New York, Dec. :. Rl-Steadily operating efficiency of the country's railroads during the past few years have placed many of the leading systems in a position to raise new capital through the sale of stock for the first time since the World war.
 Railroad financing in the first nine months of 1927 totalled sS39,- 774,1S7, of which sl72,?05.1S7 was stock. This compared with toalt financing of s339,402.00 900 in the cor responding period of 1928, of which only 3lO,240,000 represented stock.
 Railroad credit in the postwar period had sunk so low that many roads were compelled to raise new capital solely through the sale of bonds and notes bearing interest rates of 6 and even per cent. This continued emission of bonds, with their heavy fixed charges, resulted in unbalanced and unwieldy capi- tai structures, which gradually are being corrected through the retire nent of bonds and the sale Of stock. The Interstate Commerce Commission has readily granted approval for railroad stock issues wherever the credit of the road was such as to assure a ready sale nt par OF better.
 Little Financing Now
 Little new railroad stock financ- ing is in prospect for the near fu- ture, however. Railroad bankers point out that the large systems which could easily sell additional stock already have retired as many high coupon bonds as were redeem able and had no immediate need Of cash. while the earnings position of others. particularly in the North west. had not yet reached a point where stock financing was feasible or profitable. The Great Northern, for example, recently sold s2o,ooo.o0o issue of 5 per cent bonds.
 Improved earnings of railroads have been due to heavier traffic and greater operating efficiency, which has been accomplished by making the engines run further and faster, increasing the length of trains, keeping terminals clear ot con- sestion and rolling stock in good repair and assuring better coopera- ho% ~h pers through frequent regional con- ferences and other means of close contact.
 New Issues Tn 1928
 A new stock offering by the Mis- souri Pacific is regarded in Wall Street as likely next year as part of plans, now under consideration by q special committee of directors. 10 wipe out nearly $50 in accumu- lated dividends on the preferred issue. The Southern Railway has s20,O0o,000 in common stock un- issued of the s3O.0oo,Ooo additional auth crized late in 1926 and. if busi- ness along the line warrants. 1t is probable that this stock will be sold during the coming year.
 One ot the largest stock offerings this year was $49,000,000 in pre- ferred stock of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad. the proceeds of which were used to pay Of the war debt to the govern- lnent and for other capital pur- poses. The Canadian Pacific offered S3e h,ho0 of new ordinary stock to shareholders at $l50 share and

Movie Realism.

An unscheduled dramatic scene,
which the public will never see,
recently was said to have been en-
acted before the cameras at the
United Artists Studios. where "Sor-
rell and Son." the English novel of
father-and-son devotion, is being
brought to the screen by Herbert
Brenon.
Alice Joyce, who has one Of the
most important roles in "Sorrell and
Son." collapsed in dead faint when
Louis Wolheim. injecting too much
realism into the scene, failed to pull
his punches" in a fist fight and
knocked H. B. Warner down a flight
Of stairs. Although it took nearly 10
minutes to revive Miss Joyce. she re-
fused Director Brenon's offer to stop
work for the day and faced the cam
eras again.
Wolheim, playing an English bully,
caught Warner flush on the chin
with a wild haymaker. The star. in
stead of stumbling back out Of cam
era range, lost his balance and fell
down a fight Of stairs. For several
days he nursed a sore jaw and many
bruises as result of the experience.
