When reporters were burned" By
irate city editors for Misunderstood
delays in covering police runs at
~deadline," Jerry Kinney was their
Sympathizer.
Perhaps it was to help them cut
by showing their offices" what they
often were up against, that Kinney
frequently invited the newspapers
inside men" to spend an evening
with him in a radio-equipped police
car.
1t was on one of these excursions
that an assistant city editor was
given night Of adventure he'll
never forget. In police parlance,
all hell broke loosel"
A two-bandit team chose that
night to run wild in an orgy Of
hold-ups. To Kinney, his aids and
the newspaper man in the chiefs
car, the radio barked a ''play-by-
play account Of the crimes and
pursuit of the bandit duo.
Time for Renaissance
Squad cars arrived on the scene
Of their latest holdup just in time to
hear report of still another blocks
distant. A night Of screaming si-
rens, lightning fast rides and gum
fire gave the reporters boss an in
sight into what goes on among the
blue-coatS while his city-room desk
is closed.
A later excursion with another
city editor was in contrast for it's
tranquility. Until after midnight,
nothing came over the radio in the
chiefs cruising auto but periodic
station tests. 1t gave Jerry time to
reminisce.
Down muddy alleys, narrow, cob
bled streets, around hair-pin joys,
the big police car purred while Jerry
pointed here and there to tumble
down houses where crimes and cap
lures had punctuated his long and
valiant police career.
Always Felt Compassion
1--WE nabbed him right there, poor
DEVIL" Jerry would say, nodding to
a darkened corner. Relentless in
pursuit of criminals, he never failed
to feel compassion for them as VIC
Tins, often, of circumstances be-
yonnd their control.
Pictures snapped years ago by
Kinney'S camera eye" were traced
again for his companions as the
heavy car rolled over his battle
field" against the lawless.
At last the car emerged upon a
fashionable boulevard.
Two girls paused on the sidewalk,
stepped invitingly toward the slow
ly moving car-then turned and
Scampered off into the darkness as
the letters 81. P. D." caught their
gaze.
"Mollie!" Chief Kinney said with
an amused smile. They're on the
boulevards, noW!"
Red Light Aided Police
"You know" he went on, when
they broke up the red light dis
tricts, they stripped police of one
Of their biggest aids in crime de-
lection. In the old days, If Job
was pulled, we knew where the
crooks would blow their money. We
didn't need to look far. We made
the tenderloin and we found out.
The girls didn't want it made any
worse for them, and they knew the
bums-heard them boasting.
"But nowl Where are they? Run
out? No. They're all over town.
We can't keep track of them.
They're in the finest apartments:
in the best residential districts.
And we get no help.
IF the end Of the red light had
been the end of prostitution, it
would have been worth it. But it
wasn't the end. It goes on as it
always has: they're scattered all
over the city; and the police get
no information. AS for making
soliciting charges stick in court
just try it!'

Don't miss the "TalkleS!"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-09-13

LONDON.-A British leviathan of the
air. the largest ever built in this coun-
try, rivaling the German Dornier DO-X,
is naaring completion at the VickerS
Subermarine Works at Southampton
and is expected to be launched early
next year.
Fitted with six 900-horsepower Rolls
Royce engines designed to produce a
speed of las miles an hour, and stated
to have a greater lifting capacity than
the German ship, the machine when
tested will carry out experimental trans
atlantic flights and eventually may be
used for a Southern Atlantic mail
service.
Built as an experiment to the order
of the British air ministry, the ma
chine will measure from wing tip TO
wing tip TIA feet, the hun from nose to
tail being lot feet. Some indication Of
its size can be gagged from the fact
that with full complement Of passen-
gers and crew, and fueled, it will weigh
nearly IS tons.
An official of Vickers aircraft branch,
discussing the machine recently, said
the metal, which is being chiefly used
for the flying boat is duralumin, which,
while being as light as aluminium, is
much stronger. 1t is treated by a
process which makes 1t immune from
attack by salt air and sea water.
Every part of the machine likely to
be subjected to severe stress and strain
will be put through tests on machines
constructed for the purpose, and when
launched will take the water in pre-
cisely the same way as liner.

Not only the office boy, but the ste
noglapher and the clerk have come to
find talkie slang the most convincing
means Of expression. No one can imag-
inc a clerk in the times of Dickens
London saying TO his superior, 20. K,
chief!' But it is rapidly supplanting,
Yes. thank you," In numerous estab-
lishments.
Office Back Chat.
At the present time such expressions
do not figure much in the converse
tions of heads of businesses with en-
ployes. but they heavily interlard Office
back chat or casual exchange of views
Some of the expressions now widely
used are, Say. DO Say. boy 80. K,
big baby,' Hello big girl!' or That's
o. K with me. baby!'
The head of large commercial firm
in London expressed the view to this
correspondent that talkie lingo was be-
ing used as much by the woman men,
bers Of his staff as by the men.
Jargon Has It's Place.
st hear a girl clerk giving instruc-
tions to an Office boy. and the boy
replying. o. K. chief How about
some tennis?' asks a male employe q
his near feminine neighbor. That's
aw-right with me, big Doy,' comes the
answer. The staff does not use such
familiar jargon with any of the heads
of the Office unless they are sure 1t
will not be regarded as disrespectful.
I only realized a few months ago how
much of this talkies talk had found its
way into regular office routine. It was
an eye-opener to me-"
Many who use this type Of jargon
try to give 1t a more pungent effect by
initiating the nasal twang so often
heard in the "speakies."
Meanwhile. the Committee of Ex-
perts on English, which includes George
Bernard Shaw. which has been working
for a year or more trying to decide how
several hundred words should be pro-
nounced, has turned out another long
list, but has failed to agree on how
the word "pianoforte" should be pro-
nounced-whether the Anal sc" should
be sounded.

NEW YORK.-"Come with us to the
Arctic. Enjoy 10 days OF cool comfort
on the palatial Graf Zeppelin as you
cruise majestically northward over the
/ ice packs to escape the heat" So reads
a recent advertisement for a way to cir
cumvent our Summer weather.
From the above it might seem pre-
posterous that some day the earth will
experience what has been called heat
death"-when our globe will become, in
some respects, like the moon at present,
but. on the whole, far worse off.
Certainly this sounds fictitious, yet
science in the past, on the weight of
very accurate experimental evidence,
has predicted such a disaster at time
when the stars-and with them our
sun-will have radiated away all their
energy and the earth will slowly but
surely become a silent, frozen and I'M
inhabitable planet.
Man Would Live at Equator.
AS that time approached we would
find mankind moving southwark before
another ice age to take abode near the
Equator, where humanity would receive
all the heat possible from the dying
sun.
There the depths of the earth would
be investigated in an attempt to find
some of the heat that might still be
present. Underground cities would be-
come necessary in the last resort.
Lakes and rivers would cease to flow,
because little or no water would be
evaporated when the heat OF the suns
radiation diminished.
This emotionally depressing outlook
has led thinking men to review the
theories on the end of the universe to
find hope for a possible escape. One of
the latest theories-and incidentally one
which has been reported to have
changed Prof Einstein's views on the
universe-is that of Dr. Richard Toll
man of the California Institute of Tech
nology.
This eminent American scientist ap-
plies relatively considerations to the
problem and thus arrives at a new and
much more hopeful and satisfying con-
clusion. At some far-removed time this
theory may be one of the last straws
to which civilization will cling to rec
oncile itself with fate
Stripped of the scientific Technology,
DR.. Tolman's theory strives to explain
why the end of human life on earth
may not come through the supposed
heat DEATH" Perhaps there is some
thing wrong with our ideas of this prob
lem.
The New Theory.
His conclusions tell us essentially
that we have had too small q viewpoint
on the question. Instead of taking the
predictions based on the comparatively
small volume of our earth and apply
ing them to the much larger system of
the universe as a whole we should
rather develop new relativistic science
of thermOdVnanlics which would include
all space.
DR.. Tolman has developed such form
of relativistic thermodynanics and finds
some unexpected and startling results.
After attempting to solve the general
case he applies the mathematical equa-
tions to an idealistic universe in which
only radiation is present. This allows
him to simplify the mathematics by
neglecting the presence of matter in
the universe.
The important point of the solution
which he obtains is that If one consid-
ers the universe as whole the entropy
would remain constant, but for . space

TREMBLING ON THE
VERGE
BY BRUCE BARTON

backs turned upon present
discouragements, and minds
busy with better goods, better
methods, better ideas, better
living.
I spoke to the head OF one
company about it. He said he
had recently been holding a
meeting of their English rep
reSentatives. He told them
casually that the company
had hired an engineer and
assigned him the task of max
ing a world survey of their
sources of raw materials tor
the neTt Is gears.
One of the Englishmen
exclaimed: "Confound you
Yankees! What English COM
pany would ever think of hir-
ing a man to look ahead 70
years?"
Coming to the end of all
these meetings, I concluded
that it Is a waste of time to
worry about the future OF
American business.
We have an asset more
fundamental than gold sup
ply, or raw materials, or cleo
trio power, or climate. That
asset is restless dissatisfac-
ton with the past, a spirit of
continuous Improvement.
AS long as we are inspired
by that spirit I believe that
our future is secure. We shall
not go down to destruction.
No matter how often we
may tremble on the verge.

Japanese Film Stars
Receive Small Salaries

TOXIC. - Leading motion picture
stars in Japan, which boasts a film
industry second only to that of the
United States in size, earn less in one
year than popular American stars are
said to receive in one week. The high
est annual salary in the film colony
here, according to official income tax
statistics, Is estimated at $4,000. Most
Of the favorite actors and actresses are
paid less than $4,000 a year.
Denjiro Okochi holds the top rank
among the men, followed by Chico
Kataoka, who receives $4,000. The
highest paid actress Is Yoke Uemura,
who is credited with only $4,000. All
of these play in pictures of the "old
school," usually historical romances Of
the days before Japan was open to for
eign trade and influence. Such films,
notable for scenes in which opposing
groups of men engage in spectacular
sword combats, have the same popu-
larity in Japan as Wild West films had
in America IS years ago.
