records in the Office of Fred Pickett,
clerk of the court, is concerned.
Technically, the court has two
weeks on" which is supposed to
mean it sits and decides cases, and
one week off duty for study and the
writing of briefs.
But the two weeks on meant little
since the court convened Oct. 5,
we're it not for the work done by
Chief Justice Clarence R. Martin.
Of the eight cases decided during
the fortnight, Martin wrote five of
the decisions. In addition, he wrote
a dissenting opinion in one of the
three other cases decided, the record
in Pickett's office discloses.
Two of the other opinions were
written by Judge David A. Myers
and the third by Judge Julius G.
Travis. The Democratic members
of the court, Judges Curtis w. Roll
and Walter E. Treanor, made no
contributions of opinions during the
first two weeks of the post-vacation
session.

Senior Assistant at City
Bureau Sticks to His
Post Just the Same.

BY day, R. E. Spencer, 1913 North
Audubon road, pores over weather
charts and instruments, and pen
such proSaic lines as fair anc
warmer" or mot much change in
temperature"
But at night he gets away from
humdrum fact, delves into his imag-
ination and produces novels, the
first of which, just published, is ex-
pected to become one of the years
best sellers.
Spencer, senior assistant weather
observer at the local bureau, is au-
thor Of 1.-THE Lady Who Came to
Stay" just placed on sale by the AL
fred A. Knopf Publishing Company
New York, the first publisher to
whom it was submitted.
Selected by Book League
The book has been selected by
the Book League, as its october
choice, and in addition has been
praised highly in reviews in various
publications.
Encouraged by the reception of
his first literary work, and the de-
mand for more, Spencer has COM
pleted the first rough draft of
second novel.
Writing of the first book required
four years. 1t was written at night,
between sessions at George Wash
ington university at Washington,
D. c., where Spencer was stationed
about seven years before being
transferred to the indianapolis bu-
reau last December.
Weather Only incidental
During the winter, he spent his
nights studying at the university to
win advancement in his profession.
On hot summer nights he labored
over reams of manuscript.
He had been forced to leave
school in Salt Lake City, Utah, be-
cause of family circumstances.
The novel gives Spencer the dis
tinction, it is believed, of being the
first person engaged in meteorologi-
cal work for the government to
have become an author of fiction.
And the only references in the
book to the weather." Spencer COM
mented, "are a few comments such
as it was a gloomy day or the sun
shine flooded the ROOM"
