ROTARY HEARS
. HEART BEATS

The Washington Rotary Club,
at its dinner meeting last night
at the Willard, listened to the
beating of a human heart.
The beat Of the heart came
from a sound motion picture dis.
played by w. w. Wheeler, of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele.
phone Company, who addressed
the club on inventions made in
the Bell telephone laboratories.
President Henry. N. Brawner,
jr., was elated at the dinner
when he discovered that his fel.
low members had remembered his
birthday. He was presented with
a cake.
In explaining discoveries in the
Bell laboratories, Wheeler said
that while research primarily is
for improvement Of telephonic
communication, the experiments
have led scientists and engineers
into strange bypaths.
It was in this laboratory that
the talking motion picture first
was developed. The Bell techni-
clans also invented the orthophonic
phonograph.
They developed an artificial
larynx, at the request of a New
York surgeon, to replace human
larynges destroyed by disease.

SPY TELLS
ON BEAUTY

NEW YORK, Jan. 30 U.sJ.
Through slit in a door in a ritzy
Atlantic City hotel, a. Supreme
Court jury was told yesterday, a
butler peeped and saw the beauti-
flll and wealthy Mrs. Ann B.
, Shewan with a man.
And a few seconds later when
the butler, his master, Edwin A.
Shewan, his secretary and a de-
tective crashed into the room, the
man begged the detective not to
let Shewan shoot him.
Famed For Beauty
This and other spicy testimony
came out in the start of the
divorce suit of Shewan, former
head Of the Brooklyn Drydock
Company Of that name. Mrs.
Shewan, called the most beautiful
woman in the world in the course
Of q European visit few years
ago, achieved prior fame when she
tossed $4,000 diamond ring into
Q wastebasket by accident and
thereby started a fruitlesS hunt
that led to a city garbage scow.
Werner S. Rutee, manager of
o stock brokerage office in Grand
Central terminal, was identified
aS Mrs. Shewan'S companion. In
addition, two more men we're
mentioned in the afternoon ses-
sion.
One of these was Billy Rich"
who, a maid, said, also went to
Atlantic City with Mrs. Shewan
but occupied rooms separate from
hers.
Second Man Named
The second was o. C. Seedor, a
n1asseur, who, it was testified,
used to call on Mrs. Shewsn
here, drink a bottle of cham
pagne with her at each visit and
then give her a massage, at the
same time addressing her as
"dear" and darling" At these
sessions, it was said, Mrs. She.
wan was attired in a night gown
or some other flimsy garment.
The peeping butler was Edgar
Clifford, addicted to detective
novels when not engaged in but

What did Community Fund agencies
do during the past year? Here
are just few of the things. Paid
the rent for 4,207 families. Gave
service and care to 8,605 families;
gave free lodging and meals to
3l,310 homeless men and young
men; 42,863 unpaid visits were
made by nurses to the sick, the
injured and the handicapped;
1850 quarts of milk were given
to families where illness and chill
dren were involved. The Million
Dollar Fund which must be raised
in this years campaign cannot be
raised by duplicating last years
subscription. Every subscription
must be increased. It is not
question of how mucl.we can give,
but how much are we willing to
SACRIFICE. 1t means to give
when it hurts.
Over 5000 volunteer workers are
giving almost two weeks of their
C1lOl Us anu IAASA OWAl
money TO put this years drive
over. They are making a sacrifice
that those upon whom they are
calling should be willing to match.
Here is one version of why experts
come high. A municipal plant IN
a small Colorado town broke down.
The man in charge who was also
the town constable, superintendent
of the water works and street
cleaning departments, was at
loss to know what TO do. An eX-
pert was called in. He took one
look, tapped on a certain place
with hammer and told the man
to start the plant. His bill was
S250.00 When the town council
asked him to itemize the bill, it
came through thus: Tapping with
hammer, $1.00; knowing where
to tap, $4,000.
Inspect your battery more often.
Have it tested more regularly,
and If needs recharging don't hes
itate TO have it done. 1t is far
less costly to have the battery
charged than to overload it and
perhaps ruin it.

MORE and more is the name of
1V1L L. Ert Slack, former mayor of
indianapolis, being mentioned in
Democratic circles for the nomina-
ton to one Of the important offices
in 1882.
Yet party managers declare that
although he would, of course, not
refuse the nomination either for
Governor Or senator, his ambition
at present is to be a judge of the
supreme court.
His friends steadily are advance
ing Slack for this post and large
circulation has been given his ad-
dress at the joint meeting of the XII
wants and Rotary clubs in Hartford
City last week.
In this address, among other
things, he gave expression to views
which are causing comment.
Big business must recognize the
benefits of a decentralization Of
profits and through itself, arrange
some plan whereby the products OF
labor shall be spread out and more
generally distributed" he said.
"Of course, it means more profit
sharing, more interest in the bust
ness which they make for others,
and the reserve of the earnings of
industry to meet not only unfortu-
nate and unforeseen conditions aris-
ing in individual instances, but also
to meet depression and panic"
Slack declared that federal and
state governments should aid in the
movement to guarantee fair dis
tribution of wealth and earnings"
