 Grace promised to find out what his bonus was for the last three years.
 Previously Common Pleas Judge David G. Jenkins ruled that Grace would not have to tell what agree ment he had with Bethlehem prior to the meeting of Sheet & Tube di- rectors last March when they de- cided upon the consolidation.
 Say Salary ImmateriaI
 Counsel for the steel companies argued that Grace's compensation was imniaterial inasmuch as the merger proposition of four shares of Bethlehem for three of Sheet & Tube was based solely upon earn ings. Judge Jenkins upheld the de- fense on this point after the ques- ton had been debated most Of the day, but said the opposition might ask what provision was made for Grace after the merger was to have taken effect

under Don't and Joachim and was himself the teacher of Zimbalist and Heifetz.
 Told Her Life Story
 Speaking of her former teacher, Mrs. Jaffe said, During my four years as pupil of Auer's he told me the entire story of his life, one or two incidents at a time. When he was young he earned money for his musical education by going on con- cert tours which took him to all parts of Europe. While still in his teens he became leader of an or chestra at Dusseldorf and later at mburg. He was only 2S when Ru- benstein appointed him professor of the violin at the Conservatory of St. Petersburg to succeed Wieniawsl;i and for the next 45 years he remain ed in that capacity during ~Gich time he served as court violinist 10 three czars.
 "He would frequently speak-of the bolshevist revolution which caused him, at the age Of 73, to come to the United States as a refugee. It was shortly after this that I became his pupil. When more than so years old he became a United States citi- zen and boasted frequently Of his adopted country. He possessed a number of decorations from A.nro- pean monarchs which he frequently showed me. He also had a number of mementos of Sarasate. Rimsky- korsakov, NieuXtemps and host of other famous musicians with whom he was acquainted and these he would exhibit while telling his recol- lections of the donors.
 Tt was as teacher that Auer ex- cellcd,' Mrs. Jaffe continued, and his fame was mostly due to the fact that he believed in developing the natural talent and abilities of his pupils without destroying their originality. His aim was to embellish and enrich original genius so that his pupils would play like them selves-not like Auer. Although he cherished a faultiess technique he considered this phase of musical edu- cation secondary"
 Danced During Lesson
 In describing her teachers meth cd of instruction. Mrs. Jaffe told how Auer, would sometimes ever dance and sing in order 10 demon- strate the spirit of the composition under consideration.
 He would listen intently to his pupil" she said, and make very few corrections except for the occa sional insertion of a gesture Or re- mark. He kept his violin at arm S length and would frequently pick it up to illustrate how passage should be played.
 Although his pupils numbered thousands Auer seemed to take a personal interest in each one of them. He had produced more violin Virtuosos than any other teacl,cr I know of and all his pupils love him. I regard him as the greatest violin pedagogue of all time and he laid the foundation for an immortal branch of musical science which will ever be known as the Auer

Dr. Cole Finds Grain AL cohol Much Better Than One With Wood Type Measures Reactions of Animals to Compounds.

Cold Spring Harbor. N Y, July Is If men respond to alcohol like frogs, barnacles and planaria tWorms), then grain alcohol should be about three times more stimulat- ing as rub than wood alcohol.
 By the same scale of measure ment grain alcohol is less stimulat- ing than several of it's lesser known brothers, propyl, butyl and amyl, all of them primary alcohols. Propyl IS nine times as stimulating as wood butyl 27 and amyi S1 times.
 These comparisons come from discovery of method to measure accurately the chemical stimulation of alcohol and other compounds re- ported to the biological laboratory here by Dr. w. H. Cole, professor of physiology and biochemistry at Rut- gers university His experiments were upon frogs, barnacles and pla- maria. He devised a tank in which they could be kept under a constant flow of pure water along with means of recording normal rates Of mo- ton, such as the jumping of the frog.
 Used Various AlCohOlS
 He tainted the water with vari- ous alcohols. obtaining precise record of the amounts necessary to stimulate the animals into more than normal activity In addition to showing effects somewhat simi- lar to those of rub-down, the ami mals may have been exhibiting also the equivalents of intoxication. Dr. Cole believes his experiments show how chemical stimulation starts in any part of the body touched by al cohol or other compounds.
 When contact is made he believes the alcohol molecules are about un- da control of definite forces, in stead of scattering haphazard. The pattern made by the molecules Of one substance, or one kind of alco- hol, is different from that of the others.
 As the molecules spread, their energies are released. ThisS release may be likened 10 billions of tiny hammers striking the contact sur face. These blows" set off pro- cesses deeper in the tissues, which in turn reach the nerves and so pro duce the stimulation.
 Governed By Electricity
 The pattern forming habit of molecules, called molecular orienta- tion, pr. Cole says, is governed seemingly by electrical forces. Ger tain groups of molecules are polar. others non-polar in an electrical sense, and still others partly polar and partly non polar.
 Thus some of the stimulating ef- fects of alcohol rub may be consid- cred as starting from the electrical control of the position of the mole cules. This is one further indica- tion of the electrical foundation of all substance. d fundam rental phe- nomenon that is coming to light in many ways including some recent Einstein equations.

 WASHINGTON, May 1.-Women are making valuable contributions toward restoration of the old Lee mansion on the banks of the Po- tomac.
 The Government is supervising the work of turning it into pub lie shrine
 From fine homes have come priz- ed antiques that the home-like at mosphere of Nellie Custis and her daughter. Mary Custis Lee, may be reproduced in every detail. Glad ly have the donors parted with rare mahogany tables and quaint four poster beds.
 Colored women who once lived in the vine-covered slave house on the old Lee plantation have come from their little homes in Virginia to direct the placing of these pieces just as they were a century ago.
 Mrs. James Peyton Powell of  Huntsville, Alabama, has given 27 pieces of old furniture which are duplicates of those used by the Lees.
 A little mahogany bedside table which once belonged to Nellie Gus tis was given by her great grand daughter, Mrs. George Goldsbor- cugh. It had been in Mount Yer non.
 Women of the present and of the past are making the old house live again.
 The first to step out on the wide verandah and gaze down upon the shining Potomac was Nellie Park Custis, wife of the adopted son of George Washington.

With additional returns coming in from the First, Second. Third and Fourth Divisions since yester- day afternoon, Judge James Wick ersham assumed the lead in the Republican race for nomination for Delegate, and was today leading Attorney General John Rustgard by 260 votes.
 Cash Cole was leading Elmer Reed by 368 votes for nomination for Auditor, and w. K. Keller had an edge of Al votes on L. w. Breuer for Commissioner of Edu- cation. W. G. Smith was leading Frank L. Knight by 900 votes for Treasurer.
 In the Democratic primary R. J. Sommers, encumbent, had taken the lead for Highway Engineer by the close margin of 13 votes which local party leaders expected to be increased as belated returns arrive.
 Wick Carries Nome
 Wickersham carried the city of Nome. receiving 1o4 to 93 for MT. Rustgard. Anchorage and the railroad belt put him in the lead in the Third Division. 788 to 575 for his opponent. One new precinct was received from the Fourth Divi- sion giving Wickersham 48 votes more to the good.
 The Second Division likewise gave Breuer a majority over Keller, the Nome vote being 112 to 60. Smith carried the town to 1 over Knight, 146 to 20. Reed swept it over Cole 172 to 25.
 The rail belt also gave Breuer a heavy vote, putting him in the lead in the Third Division, 763 to 457.
 Cole was returned a winner in the railroad precincts and his vote in the Third Division to date is 825 to 381 for Reed.
 While Knight carried his home town of Anchorage, Smith still leads him In the Third, 755 to 668.
 Four in First
 Four new precincts were reported from this Division, Klawock, Scow Bay, Yakutat and Craig The vote was split for the first time in Kla- wock. one of the largest of the In- dian settlements, and the Admin istration ticket received good per- centage of the vote there and at Craig.
 There has been no change in the status Of the Divisional ticket during the past 24 hours. Winn. Scott, Noland and Johnson are high for the House. Gardner's lead over w. A. Steel today was 755 which was generally regarded as assuring the former of nomination for Senator.
 It is probable that the unre- ported vote will not exceed 1000, if 1t reaches that figure. Many small polling places have not been heard from and several of these will give the regulars majorities. Some of the larger Indian villages are unreported, including Kluk- wan, Hydaburg, Hoonah, Angoon, Rake and Metlakatla. The regu- lars expect division at Hoonah, Angoon and Rake, and believe they will carry Metlakatla. If this proves to have been the case, they esti- mate that Noland or Gildea will nose out Paul for a place on the House ticket with Vim and Scott occupying the other two places.
