County At torney Southard said he would have some questions to ask them the next day. Mrs. Crater was expected to be asked to name intimate social friends" of her husband, among other things
 The trio and probably others may be summoned to appear before the grand jury here next week, Sopthard said, adding that if their answers to questions today and tomorrow are not satisfactory a search of the Crat- CT cottage and grounds probably would be made. The lake also might be dragged, he said.
 Investigation of the foul play theory was prompted, Southard said, by letter from District Attorney Grain of New York, saying some of Crater's associates think he has been a victim of foul play"

Albany, N.

 T am," Mrs Treadwell said, what might be called an enrolled wet. and there I stand.
 Anybody who is not blind can see what prohibition, so-called, has brought to this country and it is d sorry picture indeed. I favor gov- ernment control of the distribution of alcoholic beverages. Of course, I am not for return of the open sa- loon, although one is almost led to believe that even the open saloon brought less evil and more real tenn perance than our present day sys- tenn of speakeasies."

FACTORY MERGERS
 HINDER .JOBLESS
France Better Off With Many
 Small Industries

Washington, Sept. 22 (UP)-Large scale industry has contributed to un- employment in Germany. Great Brit ain and AmericaJ while France, clinging to smaller plants and using fewer labor saving devices, accord ing to commerce department econo- mists, has only a small number out of work.
 Many causes are involved, but government economists stress the fact French industry is less Ira tiolalized" than that of the other three nations.
 Few Aided in France
 Statistics gathered abroad by the labor department indicated only 1,019 persons in France were re- ceiving unemployment aid. Perhaps this does not represent the total of jobless, but officials believe it does very nearly.
 Contrasted with this reports showed 2,715,000 persons in Ger many and 1,946,629 in Great Britain and northern Ireland were without work. In the United States the cen sus bureau found on April 1 there were 2,50S,151 persons without jobs but wanting them.
 Asked to explain Frances good fortune, commerce department of icial offered the following reasons:
 1-F'rench industry is less "ra- tionalized'-that is, it is conducted in smaller plants with the use of less labor-savng machinery-than in the other three countries.
 2-France has stable population (even dwindling one in some de- partments) while the other three na- tions are growing.
 3-America, Great Britain and Germany have suffered more from a declining export trade than has France.
 4-Numerous minor causes. ln- cluding Frances rehabilitation pro- gram, calling for thousands of workmen.

was explained, eagerly followed l Americas lead in stressing quantity production, building giant plants and utilizing every machine capable of doing mans work more efficient | ly or more quickly. Although busi- ness experts claim this brought un- precedented prosperity, they admit also it has deprived many men and women of work.
 | Meanwhile in France there are numerous small plants employing only few persons and labor saving machinery is utilized only on a small scale. Moreover, it was said, France has more farmers propor- tionately than the other three coun- tries, hence a large domestic popula- tion independent of industrial wages. France, too, has relatively fewer men to employ than her three com petitors, it was said.

DAREDEVIL KILLED
 IN BRIDGE JUMP
Norman J. Terry Breaks Back in 21S Foot Drop

New York, Sept. 22 P-Norman J. Terry. "A year old professional daredevil, was killed yesterday in 213 foot leap from the new Fort Lee bridge over the Hudson river.
 Thousands of motorists and pe- destrians saw him leap from the center of the span, shoot downward feet first until near the surface of the river, then tlatten backward, striking the water with terrific force, breaking his spine.
 Hides from Guards
 Terry mounted the partly com pleted structure late Saturday night and hid himself to elude watchmen who would have prevented the jump. He wore bathing suit, trousers and gymnasium shoes About his waist he had corset-like arrangement to protect his ribs and a wooden device was fastened to his back to protect his spine.
 Making his way along the mar row catwalk to the middle of the cable span, Terry poised for a mo- ment with a large banner in his hand. Holding the banner above his head to act as the feather of an arrow and keep him perpendicular, he jumped.
 He was pulled from the water by James Murray, his manager. and others, who watched the leap from a motor boat. At the medical cen- ter surgeons said he was dead of a fractured spine.
 Murray was held on technical charge of homicide. He said Terry had made the leap under contract with the Daily News. This was de- nied in a statement issued by the News, which said that Terry had offered exclusive rights to pictures of the leap and the paper had ac- cepted and had photographers and reporter at the scene.
 Makes Stunts Livelihood
 Terry, whose home was in Kit tanning, Pa, made a profession of stunts such as leaping from one airplane to another; walking slack wires between lofty buildings and landing from airplanes going at | high speed.
 The Fort Lee bridge which crosses the river between l79th street, Manhattan, and Fort Lee, N. J., is the highest suspension bridge in the world.

Boiling Water

While water is being boiled 1t is in
motion caused by the expansion of
the water nearest the source of heat.
These particles rise, and the cooler
and heavier particles from above
move into their place, setting up
what are called convection currents
through the water. This process con-
tinues until all the water is at a
uniform temperature.
