Cooling down from the white
heat of indignation in which he
attacked the tabloids, the former
newspaperman turns to Europe
for a background for his new
story. His hero is a disilluSioned
American and his heroine a wo-
man of the streets.
AS a sort of cynical joke, the
hero takes the grill under his pro-
lection and sets her up in ex-
pensive fashion. Soon she mar
ries a millionaire, but in the
meanwhile has fallen in love with
her benefactor.
No doubt. it works out in the
usual fashion.

 The three subpects selected by Walter I. Joyce, director of the Ma tional Americanization committee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and members of his group. are listed as follows in three distinct fields of competition for those who submit contributions:
 Disarmament or preparedness as an American policy"
 Prosperity for American labor through restricted immigration"
 'The first Stars and Stripes"
 In the first contest the author is expected to discuss whether or not the time has arrived for greater disarmament on the part of this nation and whether existing prin- ciples of preparedness, as encom- passed in the national defense act, should be abandoned. In the second contest the author has the oppor- tunity of interpreting the value of restricted immigration in relation to labor problems-either as a boon or a handicap. The subject of the third contest is devoted to the history of the American flag, the story sur rounding it's creation and it's first appearance as symbol of American freedom and liberty in time of con- f1ict

Several bills introduced yesterday. including the two to enhance the governors power, bore out recom- mendations of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross's inaugural address. Two un- employment measures, to appropri- ate $10.00O for the expenses of the governors committee on unemploy- ment and to appropriate $1OO,OOO for hiring men to thin state forests, were received. The former was passed under suspension of the rules and sent to the governor, who signed the bill late in the afternoon.
 A republican. Rep William E. Templeton. Kent. introduced a bill believed to embody the democratic governors views on dirt road im- provement. The bill, to allot $5,OOO,- 900 yearly to rural roads from the state motor vehicle funds, was tabled and will face strong opposition on economy grounds.
 Other issues outlined by Cross in his inaugural message, prohibition protest, old age pensions and reor- ganiZation of state government. were not represented by bills introduced at the opening business session of the assembly.

He also framed the theory of two kinds of electricity which he called negative and positive "a theory which still holds. With the lightning rod which he invented, he was able to overcome to some extent the dey- astating effects of lightning, and this made him the best known scientist of the day.
 In the Pennsylvania assembly, Franklin had been prominent in the fight to obtain taxes from the pro- prietary interest of the Penns, and in 1757 he was sent to England to lay the case before the throne. Here he was received cordially by his old friends and he made many new ones. After five years he returned to the colonies only to be sent back to Eng land to protest the imposition of the Stamp Act. He was called to testify in a famous examination before the House of Commons in which his tact and ability was largely responsible in having the obnoxious act repealed.
