LAUDS INDIANA
AS FIELD FOR
FUND INVESTING
Life Insurance President
Urges High Wages and
Mass Production.

High wages for workers. technical
efficiency and mass production at
small marginal profit is the recipe
for continued prosperity in America.
This formula was outlined to the
press in an interview by Frederick
H. Ecker, president Of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company,
who is at the Claypool attending a
meeting of Indiana field representa-
tives Of his company.
High wages are absolutely essen
tial TO give people in general the
means to consume" Ecker declared.
MASS production depends entirely
upon increased consumption.
Masses Have Funds
"Here in America we have come to
realize this fact. Never was there
time in history when the mass OF
the people had so much money to
spend 1t is this that has made our
country prosperous and predict 1t
will continue So
Installment buying has been an
asset to increasing business and
thrift, the Metropolitan president
asserted.
There will be seasonable recess
sions in business and this is essential
to continued prosperity" he pre-
dicted. Should there be nothing but
constant increase there would come
an abrupt slump, which has occurred
in times past, but which the business
world now has been able to elm
mate"
Praises Indiana Investments
Ecker had high praise for Indiana
as an investment area. His COM
pany has some $57,OO0.O00 in loans
to railroads and policy holders here;
SOS, 900, 900 on farms, and another
$1,000 900 to exclusively HooSier cor
porations, he declared.

insurance in force in the state, ex-
elusive Of the Calumet district. One
out of every three Indianapolis citi-
zens is covered by Metropolitan poll
cies. he said.

FAMOUS TOBACCO rfs:e

NEW YORK. Jan. 11th, R- Benjamin N"sDuke. @ one of the best known tobacco manufacturers in the country, died here Tuesday morning. The Associated Press has furnished us the following biography:
 Benjamin N. Duke was one of two sons of Washington Duke who helped extend their fathers in conspicuous business to such pro- portions that it made the family name known throughout the world. The father, almost inn poverished by the war between the states, had raised tobacco on his farm and the product was sold to country merchants by his sons. Benjamin N and the late James B. Duke. This business soon af- terward was expanded to include the manufacture of the raw pro- duct on a small scale.
 The little factory was a success from the startiAd was extended room time to - assli washinssz ton Duke at his death was regard ed as one of the country's most prosperous tobacco manufacturers.
 With the death of the father the business passed to the two sons and innovations were intro duced. James inaugurated the manufacture of cigarettes by ma chinefy when that method of us- ing tobacco first came into favor.
 Under the firm name of Duke Brothers.s the business grew to giant proportions until 1890, when it was merged with the American Tobacco Company. James became the guiding genius Of the combin- ation as its president for many years, while Benjamin served as treasurer and director until the dissolution of the company by the, United States Supreme Court in 1911. 4 ffo ~e n
 At the time of the merger the Duke brothers were reported to have received $7.5oo,ooo in secur- ities for their holdings. In the early 1s20's, Benjamin Dukes wealth was estimated to be in ex-' cess of $s0,0oo,o00.
 He was born at Orange. (now Durham) County. North Carolina. April 27. 1855. On February 21st, 1877. he married Sarah Pearson Angler of Durham <
 While he continued his interest in the manufactufee of tobacco. Mr. Duke turned to other fields with his capital. With his brother James he was a pioneer on the development of water. power. and, together they owned the Duke Power Co. seg4s sA
 Benjamin branched out into railroad, banking. cotton and oth- CT industrial enterprises. and like his brother James, he gave large sums to educational and tcharft- able institutions.

NOTED BRITISH PLAYWRIGHT
 PASSES ON.

LONDON, Jan. II, R-Henry Arthur Jones, the noted British dramatist. author of seventy pro duced plays, died at his home Wednesday night of congestion of the lungs. Of late years he had been writing on social questions, rather than for the theatre. The Associated press gives us this bio graphy of this famous author:
 The English stage had no out standing name among it's play wrights forty years ago when a youth came from farm near Shakespeaare's birthplace to join the coterie of famous men of the past generation who made the stage subject for wide debate and appreciation. Thereafter Hen ry Arthur Jones sat on the throne of melodrama.
 The Liars" a comedy produc- ed in 1897. marked the peak of Jones' fine writing. being the most nearly perfect; in construc- tion. sked sait;vying a successful run. It followed series of suc cessful plays. which with a score of others. brought his total to about seventy.
 Aside from the proximity of his birthplace to that of the Bard of Avon. Jones enjoyed few of the other perquisites which would lead to the success he attained. A farmers son. his youth was oc- cupied in schools under the Eng fish custom. with classes early and late and long recesses, which he used to deliver his fathers surplus milk to townspeople.
 This schooling was terminated when he was twelve and thereaf- ter he lived with and worked for an uncle. following his own stud ies as he saw fit, and mastering several languages along with the classics.
 His first play was written when he was sixteen. although it was two years later that he attended the theatre for the first time. The remaining years, until his first play was produced when he was twenty-seven, he divided his spare time between fiction and plays. without success in either.
 He recounted his initial pro- duction feat as follows:
 "Rousby. fine legitimate ac- tor. who had been having a disas- trous season at the Old Theatre Royal at Exeter, read the piece, "It's Only Round the Corner" and was willing to play the lead ing part if I would take half of the dress circle. the highest pric- ed seats in those days The bar gain was struck on the spot.'
 Other ''subsidized" plays fol- lowed, until in 1879 Jones re- ceived fifty pounds for a play from Wilson Barrett, to whose encouragement he ascribed his success in writing melodrama.
 When his name was firmly es- tablished Jones turned himself to the fight for publication of plays. He believed that this was the only medium through which the largest part of the public could become acquainted with contemporary drama. This work was not re- warded for many years but finally. fin 1924. the British playwright was honored by having many of his own works brought out in four volumes. by Little. Brown & Company in this country.

RIGHT-HAND batting outfielder
at last has been procured by
President Clark Griffith for his
Nationals.

n -
He is Ira F1agstead, lifted
from the Red Sox last night by the
waiver route, and is to report to the
Washington ball club tomorrow that he
may acquaint himself with his new sur
roundings before the outfit of which he
now is a member swings into a four
game series against the world champion
Yankees on Tuesday afternoon.
That the Washington club was
dickering with the Boston club for Flag
stead's services was announced exclu-
sively in The Star on May II, the day
after the Nationals returned from their
invasion of the West, but at that time
President Bob Quinn of the Red Sox
wired President Griffith that the local
organization had no chance to get the
outfielder
When the Red Sox sought waivers on
Flagstead some time ago the Washing
ton club entered a claim for him, and
the waiver request was withdrawn
hastily. Waivers on the player must
have been asked again, however. for ac-
ington club is paying Boston only the
$500 waiver price for Flagstead The
local prexy insists no other considera-
ton is involved in the deal.
The acquisition of Flagstead is ex-
tionals' extensively in that his use will do
away with southpaw swinger in a
batting order that has been top-heavy
with left-handers. Flaggy has been a
fairly good hitter and f1ychaser for
years, and in all likelihood he will sup
plant the left-hand swinging Sam West
in center field when the opposition en-
ploys portside pitcher. VESTS SEEM
ing inability to solve left-hand hurting
has hurt the Nationals cause no little
this season.
This season Flagstead has played but
IA games with the Red SoX. He started
the season as left fielder, but was taken
Ill shortly after his club began it's West
ern trip early this month and was sent
home to Boston to recover. He returned
to the lineup Friday and also took part
in yesterdays double header against the
Yankees. In his IA games Flagstead
has hit for an average of .306, getting
II safeties in So times at bat.
Flaggy no Youngster.
F1agstead is no youngster as ball play
ers' ages are reckoned. He will be SO
years old next September %, having
been born in Montague, Mich, in 1898.
Flaggy Is a stocky athlete these days,
packing 165 pounds into frame that is
feet 8s4 inches in height. He is
right-hand thrower as well as a right
hand swinger.
He broke into professional base ball
with the Tacoma, Wash. club of the
Northwestern League In 1917 and played
both third base and the outfield. On
July II of that year he was sold to
the Tigers for a reported price Of $3.50.

He played in but four games with De-
troit that season. and then as a pinch
batter In December. 1917. the Tigers
sent him to Chattanooga of the South
ern Association under option. He played
in the outfield for the Lookouts, in
40 games hitting for 1881. So the
Tigers recalled him at the end of the
Dixie circuit campaign and he has been
in the big show since.
In 1919 with the Tigers he got into
81 engagements as an outfielder and
hit for 1881. In 10 games with the
Tigers in 1920 he batted only .235, but
he came back the next year when he
performed at shortstop and in the out
field TO hit for rating of .305. He
was second-strlnger with Detroit in
1922, but in A games he pounded the
ball for an average of 1903. After
starting with the Tigers in 1928 he was
sold to the Red SoX. In that year he
played in ITO games and batted Bill
He played the outf1eld regularly for
the Red Sox in the next five years,
although he was out of much of the
1926 season after fracturing his collar
bone. He hit .304 for the Red Sox in
1929: :280 in 1925, .290 in 1926, .2s5
In 1927 and .290 last season.
During his major league career to
date he has been in 1925 games and
made LAO hits in $500 times at bat
for grand average of .293. Flaggy

so many games by one run.
