he starts at ii and continues until
late afternoon.
If he is writing OF planning the
production Of one he goes to his
studio in the theater, where he
sets screens about him to repre-
sent scenery, pins on them notes
indicating changes he wants to
make, and proceeds to act out the
play by himself.
He works, generally in silk pa
jamas and a lounging robe.
At half-paSt four comes his rest
hour, and he relaxeS on his divan.
In the evening he dimes at his
hotel, and goes Il his room to work
almost always until midnight and
often until 2 o'clock in the morn
ing.
He finds recreation in turning
from one play to the manuscript
Of another. Sometimes he goes to
a prize fight or a ball game. But
he doesn't know a single caro-
game and he never takes a holi-
Gay.
He does not smoke, and he takes
one drink a year-a glass of cham
payne on his birthday.
His favorite, among all the plays
he has written or staged, is Hearts

PLANTS GROWN
J UNDER GLASS
Blue Lens Placed In Green
house For Effect Of
Light Rays

YONKERS, N. Y, July 26.-LR)-
A blue glass lens abe the diam
eter Of a small sofa cushion has
been installed in a blue glass greca-
house at the Boy Thompson in
stitute for plant research to observe
the effects of blue light on living
Plants.
Tie lens is being used this sum-
mel for the first time. It's mission
is the study Of plant life, but in
the background is the possibility Of
finding out more than has been
known heretofore about the effects
of ,'lue rays upon living things.
The work is under direction of DR..
John M. Arthur.
Glass in Ckylight
The big burning glass is inset in
the skylight of a light room COW
cred wholly, by special blue glass.
This glass removes all the red rays.
Some green rays are transmitted
along with the blue. Plants were
grown in this blue room before in
stallation Of the lens. and they grew
well.
But these blue light plants were
smaller and of lighter weight than
normal. They tended to be dwarfs,
To the scientists this did not mean
necessarily that the colorS Of blue
and green rays were responsible for
this effect. These colorS are not
as bright as other sunlight COM
ponents-they lack the intensity Of
red and yellow. and tbs lack might
account for the smaller growth.
The lens vas put in to offset this
lack of intensity. BY its cOncen-
trating effect blue rays are gath
cred into a beam with an apex hot
enough to burn PAPER. In the x
perimentS a position is used where
the intensity is that Of normal day
light.
The beam is just large enough
for one potted plant. Around it,
under the rays Of ordinary inten-
sity Of blue, are other plants which
will serve for comparison.
On Toy Railroad
The pot carrying the special plant
stands on a small flat-car, on a
miniature railroad, not much wider
than toy size. The road is about
two yards long and slightly curved.
Clockwork mechanism draws the
pot along this railroad in unison
with passage of the sun overhead,
so that the plant remains in the
spotlight all day.

MILLIONS FOR SAFETY.

During the past nine years United
States railroads have spent, on the
average, 40 million dollars annually to
increase the safety of rail transporta-
ton.
This does not include maintenance
or operation of safety devices that
have already been installed, interest
or taxes, or the additional millions
spent for better equipment and i'm
provementS which are an indirect
contribution to safety.
The result of these vast expenditures
has been that safety of travel has in
creased over 100 per cent in five years.
In 1928 the average was one fatality
for each "a million passengers car
ried; last year it was but one for
every 40 million passengers. The
total fatalities in 1928 among pasSen-
gers was 16, as compared with 70 IN
1926 and SO in 1925. Five times as
many deaths occurred each day in
automobile accidents as there were
railroad passenger fatalities during
the entire year.
The record in improving the safety
of employees equals this. In every
phase of operation the railroads have
taken steps to eliminate hazards and
lower the risk on any hazards that are
unavoidable.

STATE TO ADD lbs
MILES OIL-TARED ROAD

Approximately 125 miles of gravel
road in the Minnesota trunk highway
system will be treated with oil or tar
this summer, according to plans of the
State Highway department. Added to
the SCI miles in the system previously
treated, this will make a total of GAG
miles of bituminous treated of semi
hard surfaced" highways. This "bitu-
minous treated" road is an intermediate
type between pavement and untreated
gravel
I'm addition to the new treatments,
the department plans to retreat about
$50 miles OF previously treated bitumin-
GUS routes. The customary procedure
on oil and tar roads is to give a re-
treatment two successive years after
the first treatment, after which treat
ments may be omitted every third year.
This roation, however, varies somewhat
with the traffic and the nature of the
Subgrade.
Bids were opened May Is on l.
100000 gallons of oil and tar and Nav
20 on an additional 1882, 900 gallons.
Prices on Oil ranged from 628 to 7.34
cents per gallon, delivered and applied,
and on tar from 1163 to 1903 cents
per gallon. The quantities applied run
from 10000 to $4,000 gallons per mile
on new work and $500 to 5000 gal
Ions per mile on retreatment. Furn-
ishing and spreading the gravel cover
coat is done either by separate con-
tract or by the state maintenance
forces. Scarifying is often necessary,
especially when an old bituminous road
is to be retreated. The total cost of
FRO 81
per mile for tar and $4,000 for oil, and

EXCELLENT TOURIST SEASON
IN PROSPECT FOR 1929.

Prospects for banner tourist year
for Minnesota were never better If
mail inquiries can be used in making
comparisons with other years accord
ing to H. G. Hotaling, state tourist
commissioner and secretary of the
Ten Thousand Lakes Greater Mime
sofa Association.
All records have been broken by in
quiries received in response to the
advertising of the association and the
number of letters being received con-
corning vacations more than triples
the number received at this time last
years.
On Thursday, May % the names of
4,190 persons making inquiries con-
corning vacations in Minnesota had
been listed. On May % last year only
1912 names had been listed. 1t was
June 20 last year before 4,190 names
had been listed.
These figures according to Mr.. Ho-
falling would indicate that Minnesota
should enjoy an exceptionally good
tourist year, weather and financial
conditions remaining normal. They
also indicate that the tourist season
will begin earlier this year than it did
last.
reports nave been received at the
office of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association that in
some parts of the state the tourists
are now arriving. A resort owner from
the western part of the state while
in the Twin Cities last week said that
there were an unusually large number
of tourists in his vicinity for this
time of the year.
Employees of the Association who at
tended the National Outdoor Life Ex-
position at Chicago recently returned
to Minnesota convinced that there will
be large number of tourists from
Illinois this year and declared that
there was greater interest in the vaca-
ton attractions of this state than ever
before. All of which, according to Mr.
Hotaling, should mean a banner tour
list year for 1929.

SAFETY IN MOTORING.

The innovation of an-steel bodies
is one of the greatest steps forward
in automobile development in recent
years. Already millions of cars are
so equipped.
The great railroad lines have scrap
ped their wooden passenger cars which
Splintered to bits in accidents, and
replaced them with steel coaches
The automobile industry is doing the
same thing with the result that driv-
ing safety is increased.
Automobile accidents multiply as
more and more cars come into use.
1t is therefore essential that every pos
sible safety factor be adopted.
