Nations Outstanding Industrial Section to Be Visited

made for visits to the research lab oratories of four important New England firms and of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. The firms to be visited are the Dewey and Almy company and Arthur D. Little, Inc, of Cam bridge. Mass, and Thompson and Lichtner company, Inc. and United Drug company in Boston.
 As was the case last year, when the New England council organ ized the New England delegation on the tour, the council IS now receiving application for reserva- tions from leading New England executives. New England's fine showing last year, in sending 31 executives, the largest regional group on the tour, was largely re- sponsible for the decision to start the tour in New England this year.
 The purpose of the tour is to acquaint business executives with the advances that have been made in the many industries which have adopted research methods as a means of solving their problems tHIOu8h CICotAOH Ol llCW pA oNoS @o and of new uses for old products. Several New England executives who accompanied the tour in 103O have since established research laboratories or have otherwise un- dertaken research work.
 On leaving Boston the party will visit the Eastman Kodak company at Rochester, the Ford Motor com- pany laboratories and proving grounds nt Detroit. the Nela Park lighting laboratories of the Gen. eral Electric company at Cleve- land. the Goodyear Tire and Rub- Der company and Zeppelin labora- = tories at Akron. the Basic Science Research laboratories and Tanners Council laboratories at the Uni versity of Cincinnati. the Battollc Memorial Institute laboratories at Columbus, and the laboratories of

New York.-Those who go in for superstitions and hoodoos have been getting out their statistics since the tragic death of Helen Walsh. beautiful Follies girl, who was fatally burned in an explosion aboard a yacht.
 ago. there was 18th" tragedy among famous and beautiful chor- ines. The devotees of the eerie in fatalities decided that there would be a plague of evil endings for some time thereafter, due to the influence of the numeral 13-but there wasn't.
 In fact, considering the thou- sands of lovely girls who have come and gone: cnsidering their temptations, their disappointments and their varied experience, sur- prisingly few have figured in mis. fortunes of any sort.
 The "13th," by the way, was the lovely red-haired Peggy Davis, who drove her coupe over a cliff not far 1 from Nice, France. She had mar ried David Tounsend, wealthy young American.
 And the first was a little dancer Lois Davidson, who died from in- fiuenza. She was in the same troupe as Bert Williams, the popular col ored comic of Williams and Walker fame, who died not long afterward Johnny Dooley, well-knowr clown, was rehearsing just q short time later when he stumbled and fell into the orchestra pit, dying q few days later There did seem tt be some sort of jinx about that par. ticular time. | Since 1 first came to Manhattan 1 the fantastic sandwich men anl women have been among my ia vorite street characters: 1 have never tired of watching the stil walkers, and the midgets and tn, automatic man and the fellow whose shirt lights up and all thu rest of them; and always 1 have wondered about the persons wht played these bizarre roles.
