Hundred Girls Search for
Gas Cells for Nays
Los Angeles.
BY ALLENE SUMNER
NEA Service Writer

A KRON, Jan. 6.-The king of the
4 n elves, in the old fairy tales, sent
his pixies and gnomes and dwarfs
out into the wide world to seek
enough nightingales' tongues or
bluebirds' breasts to be woven into
magic carpet for the kings daugh-
ter, the lovely princess.
This modern workaday world
seems cons away from the time of
fairies, but in this city, perhaps
the busiest industrial town in the
country, a modern fairy tale is be-
ing lived which even the buzz and
drone of modern machinery can not
drown.
Hundreds Of girls work In the
great Goodyear Rubber Company
here doing nothing but inspecting
hundreds of thousands of cattle It's
sues in order that the dirigibles,
those fantastic birds of the air, may
ride safely from ocean to ocean.
Can't Substitute for Nature
Nearly a hundred girls are now
employed searching out perfect cat
tie inner tissues for new gas cells
for the Navy dirigible Los Angeles.
1t takes tissues from 100000 steers
to make cells and envelope for the
Los Angeles.
Science has spent hundreds and
thousands of dollars, says j. r. KEEL
ley, foreman of the skin room of the
big plant, in a vain attempt to find
a synthetic something just as good"
for the famous "goldbeater cloth, "
which is nothing but the casing of
the lower intestine of cattle.
But the old-fashioned bossy COW
has won out over grave men in their
laboratories. No good substitute has
yet been found.
And the great ships of the air fly
because thousands and millions of
cattle have died, giving their vital
tissues to these inanimate birds
of wood and steel and aluminium
and silk.

"Goldbeater cloth" was known to
the alchemistS of old. Medieval

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-With his
life apparently depending on the
condition of his mind, William Ed
ward Hickman, confessed double
murderer, today paced his cell,
pulled his hair, twitched his hands
and gave outward indications of
troubled mentality.
Hickman yesterday entered a Sec
ond plea of mot guilty by reason of
insanity when arraigned before
Superior Judge Carlos Hardy for
the Staying of Ivy Thoms, druggist,
Trial date was set for Feb. l.
He previously entered the same
plea when arraigned for the MUIR
der of Marion Parker. trial date
on that charge was set for Jan. 25.
Melby Hunt, 16, Hickman'S alleged
partner in the ThomS hold-up and
murder Christmas Eve, 1926, was to
be arraigned on the indictment to-
day, a controversy as to legal juris-
diction over the youth prevented his
officially pleading yesterday.
In commenting on Hickman's &C
tons in his cell, Frank Deward,
the Fox's" jailor, said Hickman
acted for all the world like a man
who was going to prove himself in
sane or die in the attempt"
Hunt when arraigned yesterday
was remanded to the juvenile court
because of his age. The juvenile
court promptly turned him back to
the Superior Court to face the
murder charge and Hunt entered a
plea of not guilty.

indictments against four of the six
indicted city councilmen and local
real estate dealer will be held be-
fore Criminal Judge James A. Col
Inns Tuesday.

One indictment charges Council
men Otis E. Bartholomew, Willard
w. Ferguson, Boynton J.. Moore and
Walter R. Dorsett with accepting
$500 to influence their vote regard
ing a petition to rezone real estate
at the corner of Forty-Sixth st. and
College Ave for business.
Another alleged that Martin
Frankfort, local real estate dealer,
gave Moore $500 to influence his
vote on rezoning a corner at Twen-
ty-seventh and Meridian SITS. for
business.
Two indictments against Moore
charged he solicited $500 before vot-
ing on purchase of fire equipment
for the city and that he asked
former Mayor John L. Duvall to
make certain appointments in order
to influence Moore's vote on i'm
parchment proceedings pending in
council against Duvall.
Moore is alleged to have bribed
Councilman o. Ray Albertson to
secure latter's vote on the Twenty
Seventh st. site and to have solicited
the appointment of Emmanuel Wet
ter, as works board clerk, when the
Duvall impeachment proceedings
were pending.
Arguments to- quash other bribery
charges against Moore, Dorsett, for
mer Council President Claude E.
Negley and Councilman Austin H.

Marvin Hughitt Helped De-

E.y United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 6. - Marvin
Hughitt, one of the last of the old
school railroad builders, died at his
home at Lake Forest today Hughitt
suffered paralytic stroke yester-
Gay.
Hughitt was president and chair
man of the board OF the Chicago
& Northwestern system for more
than thirty years, and since June,
1925, had been chairman of the
finance committee.
He worked daily at his desk in
the Chicago & Northwestern offices,
and was preparing to go to his office
Thursday when he suffered the
stroke.
Veteran Rail Builder
A son, Marvin Hughitt Jr., and
three daughters, Mrs. Alfred Grang-
er, Mrs. Charles S. Frost and Mrs.
David Dangler, had spent the night
at their fathers bedside. He died
shortly before 10 a. m.
Physicians said only his remark
able constitution kept Hughitt alive
for more than twenty-four hours
after the stroke.
The veterans railroad history
went back to Civil War days.
Chauncey M. Depew, chairman of
the board of the New York Central,
was the only contemporary of his
early days who survived him in
active duty.
He was given much of the credit
for the growth of the Chicago &
Northwestern.
Started Career at Is
Hughitt started his railroad ca
rer at Is, as a telegrapher in the
dispatcher's Office. During the Civil
War he once spent thirty-six con-
secutive hours at his key, handling
messages dealing with mobilization
and movement of troops.
In 1872 he became general man
ager Of the Chicago & Northwest
ern, and a few years later he was
made president.
His ninetieth birthday last Au-
gust was celebrated by four gene
rations of his family. At that time
Hughitt told interviewers he had
only one maxim:
"Keep on working. Keep your
interests alive"
He obeyed his maxim until he
suffered the stroke Thursday.

Cut in Operating Expenses Allows
Gain Of $4,000

Net earnings of the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company during
November were increased about
$4,000 over the same month in 1926,
a report to the public service COM
mission shows.
The increase was effected through
reductions in operating expense.
Although November gross earnings
were S435,917, a decrease of $4,000.
IN comparison with the 1926 figures,
the operating expenses show a de-
crease of $27,165 for the same
months. November. 1927 operating
expenses were $324,151 compared
