teristic Of the summer season to
bring unemployment last month
to an unusually high level.
Furthermore, although the
movement was not sufficiently
widespread to be called general,
wage reductions we're effected in
numerous instances, according to
a current survey by the Standard
Statistics Company, Of New York,
parts Of which follow:
"The bulk Of current evidence
indicates that domestic indus
trial labor as q whole was in
less favorable position during
July than in any other month
In recent years. On the other
hand, improvement was noted
last month in conditions In
the clothing and textile in
dustries, on the railroads, and
in the shipping trade.
I'VE. expect that the fall
months win see many people
taken back into industry, and
the hours Of part time workers
increased. The measure in
which this will be effected win
be extremely irregular, how
ever, and win depend upon
the extent to which the costs
Of the employing OfgaliEa-
tions will permit selling prices
that will induce increased
purchasing and meet foreign
and domestic competition.
Operating economies effected
during the present period Of
depression are resulting In
further mechanizatiOn Of pro.
ductiOn and consolidation Of
jobs. This, to our mind, signi-
fies. that permanent employ
ment will depend on individual
efficiency to q greater degree
than at any time in the past"

in this field Is the City Ice and

GAS UTILITIES
NOWPAY|NG

Within 90 days after COM
mencement Of operations, Texas
Gas Utilities Company, subsidiary
of Appalachian Gas Corporation,
has been placed on basis suf-
ficient to pay all operating ex-
penses and fixed charges, as q
result 0f the increased demand
for natural gas by Central Power
and Light Company, Devils River.
Tex, according to announcement
by company officials.
Initial deliveries to the power
company on completion last
month Of Texas Gas Utilities
Company's new pipe line to
Devils River, amounted to 2,5O0,-
900 cubic feet daily, which figure
has now been increased to over
$500, 900 cubic feet daily, with
prospects Of q further substantial
increase.
This load places Texas Gas
Utilities Company ahead Of its
estimated gas sales schedule. and,
with q continuance Of the load of
Central Power and Light Com
pany, indicates that the revenue
from this contract alone will pro
vide for all operating expenses
and fixed charges Of the entire
system, which includes other main
pipe lines now being built, in
new lines win represent net in

radiate from the Rycade field to
Eagle Pass. Uvalde, Crystal City.
Carizzo Springs and the winter

distribution systems In Del Rio
and Eagle Pass are nearing com,
pletion. and deliveries win com
menee at an early date.

present time.
Last year refrigerator car load
ings were in excess Of q million

indications are that this years

The continual expansion in re-
frigerator car shipments is one
Of the most striking Developments
in American commerce. AS far
back as so or more years ago,
few bold business spirits were
experimenting with the then new
idea of shipping periShable foods
in iced cars, but 1t was not until

cars were available that the bust
ness began to develop in q big

At the present time over 200,00C
refrigerator cars, representing an
investment of $500. .O00, 900 are
kept in service by the railroads
and refrigerator car lines. and
their cooling abScrbs some L.,
100000 tons of manufactured ice

stimulates its audience to feverish
mental activity. 1t has situations
which have been rolled in and out OF
theatric warehouses since Shake
speare got Malvolio into striped
hosiery. And yet, thanks to the way
the author has of swapping out lines
and the way the actors have OF de-
livering them, there is scarcely a
moment limiting either Of the past
or of the humdrum present. 1t is a
spicy glimpse into the lives OF an
ambitious wife, a solidly English
husband and an old fool who forgets
that he Is no longer equipped with
the charms of gangling lover.
The title. which toward the last is
exploited overmuch in words, sums
up the situation very prettily, Miss
HAYES, most attractive in mood and
deed, struggles to get the post Of
Arda-a Pacific island somewhere in
the boiling region-for her diplo-
matically inclined husband. after 1t
has been handed by a cabinet men,
Der to his wife's uncle. To accom-
plish her ambition she sneaks away
to the minister's home, lodges in
and out Of curtains, flirts outrageous
" with him and gets the island
served on a gold platter for her un-
Suspecting husband
There are. of course, ensuing COM
plications which have to do with
Miss Hayes almost disastrous per-
lection In Irritation, and the cabinet
members wife, who has been skiing
on snow and very thin ice with her
husbands secretary in Switzerland,
and who is suspected of having been
skiing with Miss Hayes husband
instead.
However, in a round table" dis
cussion these points are settled most
satisfactorily for everybody but the
minister, who Is under the impress
sion that he has fixed everything to
a nicely, which he has.
Other than Miss Hayes, whose role
Is not so large as 1t might be, Sbut
who does everything there is to be
done probably better than anybody
else might, there is Henry Stephen
son-late Of Journeys End" fame
as the foolish and amorous noble
man in charge Of juggling the
Island Of Arda. Mr. Stephenson is
quite up to his usual excellent stand
ard. and Reginald Owen, in a small
Ct RUE, - DSIUeT LIldl CIldU. MI.
Owen, who has a habit of stealing"
any show IN which he happens to
be, comes very near doing 1t again
In this case. And then to complete

exceptionally capable newcomer, and
Eric Cowley, who complains elo-
Quently about being, the son Of q

Two Blasts Occur Within

Sunday Fatality.

8y the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 9.-One Of the
worlds largest Office buildings, the
American Furniture Mart. situated In
Lake Shore drive on the near North
Side, was bombed last night A hole
was torn in the first floor, masonry on
the Huron street side was ripped away
and windows throughout the north and
northeast parts of the building were
shattered. Estimates of the damage
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000.
Motive Lacking.
Mystery surrounded the explosion,
which was on the first floor and of
such force that 1t knocked Frank
Msjewicz, night custodian, of his feet.
shattered all Office equipment within q
radius of 20 feet and set off the
sprinkler system. No one saw the
bomberS or the explosion, which police
believed was attached to a time fuse.
Neither could any one supply motive.
The bombing was the first of two
occurring within a few hours. The
second was at a three-story brick build
ing used as grocery and meat market
IN West Harrison street. A black pow
der bomb threw two families from their
beds and caused property damage esti-
mated at $1,000. Andrew Trotti blamed
competitors.
Fatal Bombing Investigated.
The police, meanwhile, had a fatal
bombing under investigation, that of
the apartment of Tony May, money
lender and professional bondsman,
killed Sunday by bomb sent through
the mails. A coroners jury returned
an open verdict but learned that May
apparently had been the object Of a
bomb two weeks previous.

express his views as to the human
interest features of the trial and
punishment. Whether the picture
Of the press Is somewhat exaggerated
seems to be quite immaterial to
those who are engaged In that pro-
fession, so long as writer's for the
stage find In this field, as in others,
q possibility of producing somewhat
abnormal types, which furnish stage
entertainment. Treatment of crime
In newspapers, 1t Is to be assumed,
has been placed on a basis which
recognizes the psychology Of the
public, and at the same time eXer-
cises that supervision over publicity
for violations Of law and custom
which the profession requires. The
belief that such publication makes
murder attractive, instead OF being
a deterrent, may well be a subject OF
debate.
The force of the drama. viewed as
work of art, without purpose ex-
cept to present brief representation
from life, Is in the evident effect OF
such incidents upon the emotional
youth Of America. Linda watkins, as
Stella, the overweight daughter of
the jury foreman, who is impelled
to duplicate a notorious crime be-
cause of her own unfaithful lover,
gives a convincing exhibition of
historical girl who sees an easy way
out of her own problem by following
the example of the heroine" Of
the newspaper stories. There is also
much strength in the acting Of
Glenn Anders as Bob Nolan, the
outstanding reporter, who uses
unique methods in accomplishing
the purpose of attacking capital pun
ishment, under orders of an editor
who is q crusader.
A cast of all-round capacity makes
of q play, which, without such abili-
ty, depends much upon its clever
lines, worthy representative of the

From the Front Row
Reviews and News of Washington Theaters.

OF persons who turn to Staying as a
heart balm, give sensational force
to the Theater Guilds play, I'm the
Meantime" which began a weeks
engagement last evening at the Ma
tional Theater.
There are three acts In the pro-
duction, but they might as we'll be
one act, for the continuous develop
ment OF the story gives the effect
Of single episode, In which a large
company Is involved, and there is
no necessary interruption to the
story Of the temperamental foreman
OF the murder jury, who shares with
his family the somewhat hysterical
effect OF dealing with human lives.
The electric chair Is in the back
ground, and an entire family shares,
through the radio, in the devastating
effect of the punishment of a woman
who has taken the life Of one who
was a friend.
The dramatists, Claire and Paul
S1fton, have undertaken to make
vivid the plea of those who crusade
against capital punishment and be-
!ieve That the tmpersonal taking of
life by the State does not atone for
the more emotional act of the over
WAOuShV PCAoOl1 WIZ DOCOII1cS a mar
tyr to her own desire to inflict pun.
ishment on an unfaithfuI friend.
Good drama may be expected merely
to picture the zeal Of the reformer
OF criminal practice and the effect
on the mind Of young person when
great publicity is given to the execu-
ton OF a woman. That such pub
licity and the making of a somewhat
heroic character out Of the one who
committed the original crime may
suggest similar deed is the thesis
Of the play.
Equally effective is the experience
Of the foreman of the jury, the par
ent of the family that is deeply in
volved in the second murder, when
he is relentlessly pursued by the
representatives of the press, who are
pictured as engaged in a mass action
to force the reluctant foreman to
