CHAPEL HILL, N. c., June 12.-
The theory that writing must be
the product of inspiration is chal-
lenged by Wilbur Daniel Steele,
Chapel Hill, noted short story writer.
IF had to wait for inspiration,
I'd probably never write another
line" Steel said.
my contention Is that success in
writing is the product of painstak-

Unemployed, Rather Than
Goods, Should Serve,
SAYS labor Union.

Shadow of unemployment will
cast its pail over the kitchen and
banquet tables Monday night when
President and Mrs. Hoover sit down
to the festive board to partake of
Hoosier hospitality and food.
In a letter to the Indiana Re-
publican Editorial Association today,
Emil Salisbury, secretary of the In
dianapolis Central Labor Union,
asked that unemployed culinary ex-
perts, members of the union, be
engaged to serve the food at the
dinner, rather than Butler uni
versity co-eds and teachers.
The dinner will be held at the
Manufacturers building at the state
Playground. (
According to Salisbury, the natl
ter was considered at the last meet
ing Of the union.
Il was instructed to communi-
cate with your honorable body to
protest the serving by Butler goods
and teachers while there are so many
unemployed depending on this work
for a livelihood" the letter read.
so, the Central Labor union, rep.
resenting mostly all organized
workers in the city, implore your
honorable body, as human act, to
employ some Of their culinary
workers who are in need"

CRIME SCHOOL
BEING HELD FOR
DRY DIRECTORS
Nebraska U. Teacher Tells
Liquor SIeuthS Just
How It's Done
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. June -. - A
chubby, twinkling- little pro-
lessor Of psychology from Nebraska,
who is here teaching twenty-four
prohibition instructors how to teach
1000 agents to enforce the law.
wants to speak out and tell the
wet past" that it's all wrong in
fighting prohibition.
Professor Fred NJ. Gregg, head Of
the psychology and education de-
partment at Nebraska Wesleyan
university, Lincoln, is conducting a
two weeks course in 'the art Of
teaching"
He is grounding the instructors
in psychology. to the end that they
may show the agents how this mod
ern science may be applied in de-
tecting law violations, in securing
confessions from violators, in han
ding witnesses.
Gregg said he is not teaching the
agents the benefits Of prohibition,
but he does hold very pronounced
views on the subject. They are
based on his laboratory studies,
which he said reveals that alcohol
brings out animal instincts of the
individual which should be curbed.
He takes up the argument Of Lord
Dawson OF Penn, who said in a
recent magazine article that little
alcohol was good for people because
it removed their inhibitions. If it
did only that, and nobody ever took
much, it might be all right, Gregg
conceded, but it doesn't end there.
His studies, he said, show that
the higher brain" which governs
the intellectual processes is dulled
by alcohol and gives way to the
'lower brain" that governs the
animal being. The higher brain,
he said, was the last to develop in
the human being.
The professor also takes excep-
ton to reports there is more drink
ing in colleges and high schools
than before prohibition.

BANKED SAVINGS
KEPT WORKING,
SKEPTICS TOLD
'Hoarding' Charge FaIIacy,
Says Security Trust
President.

Money deposited IN the savings
bank is working" declared Irving
Lel1laux. president Of the Security
Trust Company today in answering
charges Of various boarding made
over the country.
Does the dollar that is deposited
in savings bank lose any of its use
fulness?" Is the question being asked
by the nations leading economists,
who suggest putting the money in
e savings accounts to work.
That is just what this money is
doing, say the bankers, who are
rallying to refgte charges that the
increase in savings deposits since
1929 constitute policy of boarding
that Is contributing to the trade re-
cession.
Eat Cake and Have it
Depositors in putting their
money in savings accounts do the
unusual" declared Lemaux. They
eat. their cake and have it at the
same time.
This deposited money is being
spent to construct buildings here,
and Is invested in business Of every
description. 1t is proving to be the
life blood Of business.
Less than rs, per cent of the
money on deposit is put in the
vaults as reserve.
THE remainder is used to help
every form of Hoosier enterprise,
thus enabling thousands Of others
to earn. Their deposits in turn are
sent out to start another round Of
employment, spending and saving"
Called a FalIacy
Some economists point out that
savings bank accounts during the
bull market of 1929 we're at very
low level while now, with the market
in the sloughs Of depression, savings
are at peak, thus leading to the
suggestion that the money would do
more good if taken out Of the bank
and invested in the stock market.
Indianapolis bankers declare this
is fallacy.
1.-THE man who invests now is not
leng-ternl- minded and seeks only
liquid and short-term securities with
the result that If 1t were not for the
savings banks and insurance COM
panies, there would be no one to buy
long-term bonds, which in turn puts
the money to work and aids bust
ness revival"

Price on Heads of SIayerS

Totals $1,000.

More than two weeks ago two
gunner walked into the main store
of the Standard grocery chain, at
419 East Washington street.
Mr.. Jackson was mortally wonud-
ed when he picked up a revolver
and battled with one of the ban
dts.
Today detectives still pressed
their search for the murderers, no
warmer on the trail than they were
after the shooting when the slayers
escaped in a stolen automobile
that was abandoned later the same
day.
Rewards totaling 5000 have been
offered by The Times and friends
for information leading to convie-
ton of the murderers, this amount
being increased 500 by an anony-
nous donor today.
Many tips have been offered by
persons who hoped to win the re-
ward, and bring to justice perpe-
traitors Of one of the most brazer
crimes in the city's history.
These leads have been investi-
gated, by The Times and police
but thus far none of them have
produced the slayers.
Twelve public enemies have been
ordered arrested, and detectives
also are seeking two ex-convicts
whom they suspect might know
something about the murder.
But today the killers are free.
Without a clew, without a piece
of definite information, the search
goes on.

AGE OF EARTH NOW
TOLD BY "VARvES"
Layers in Crust Reveal Ef-
fects of Seasons and Sun
Spots Aid Calculations.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz,. February 26.-A
new method of reading the earth's age
by counting certain peculiar layers in
her crust, Just as tree rings are read,
is in preparation here.
The LAYERS are "varves," the geological
name for thin annual earth deposits
laid down many thousand yeats ago
by the glaciers. The reader is Prof.
A. E. Douglass, director of Steward
Observatory of the University of Ari-
IONA.
In one of the most amazing feats
of modern science Douglass discovered
a method of tree ring reading that
identifies trees which were growing
when the Pyramids were building, that
tells the dates of constructing prehis-
toric wooden houses of the American
Southwest that Identifies even the
drought years of past ages.
Now he proposes to apply this
method to the varves He has spent
much time studying these deposits with
their discoverer, the famous Swedish
Prof. De Geer.
Water melting from the glaciers in
Summer deposited layer of sand and
dirt. In Winter this deposit stopped.
Very hot seasons left their finger marks
in the form CT extra deep deposits.
Through thousands of Sears these sue
cessive layers were each season buried
more deeply. pressed fiat and hard. but
as distinguishable as are tree rings,
permanent leaves of history for who
ever finds the key to their meaning.
Properly treated, the varves are as
distinctive as tigers stripes. De Geer
has counted 1900 of them. The prob
lem Is to learn the date of one of the
layers in a varve. After that all the
other years can be identified in that
deposit like counting the rungs of a
ladder.
DR. Douglass tree-ring discoveries
offer the dating method 1t is based
thick succession of growth going with
dry and wet years. The sun-spot
cycles swing from wet to dry years
and show plainly in tree rings few
biologists have found records of SIM
liar cycles in varves.
The Douglass method Identifies sun
spot cycles-not all of them, but GER
tain of these weather fluctuations have
left combinations of fat and lean
growths as distinctive as a code.
No two of these codes appear to be
the same. If once an identified date
can be pinned upon one of these varve
codes this key year may be used any,
where in the Northern Hemisphere,
even to connecting dates of prehistoric
America with Europe.
The difficulty of finding this identi-
fcation Is no more prepoSterous than
was the apparently wild project that
DR.. Douglass started upon when he
began the now successful tree-ring
studies. At that time lacking suf-
ficient astronomical instruments. he
turned to the trees to study sun spots.
