 Venice put aside the breakfast tray. Writing? Writing would be something within herself, all her own. The neglect of othes could not frustrate it. A novel Would she have the perseverance,? A book about herself. She jumped out of bed, pulled a neglige about her settled at the spinet desk. Pencil Paper. She was absorbed.

 One of those intellectual girls! Nonsense, Venice. Writing isn't go- ing to keep your life warm and filled as you grow older. It's en- tertaining and being entertained that fills hooks and crannies.

 "N-no."

 "Oh. Mother, I got stuck as usual"

 There was a silence. Mrs. Muir looked distressingly perplexed. T can't understand you, Venice she complained.

 Secure Decree

LONDON, Nov. 20.-William An- gust Grogo Montagu, ninth Duke of Manchester, dissatisfied with the divorce laws of England, leaves shortly for Cuba to seek a Separa- ton from his American wife, the former Helene Zimmerman, of Cin- cinnati, Ohio.

FORT U NE OF
 MILLIONAIRE
 SWEPT AWAY
Home and Tax Claim Alone Remain of Millions
 Made in Oil
By WILLIAM VOIGT, JR.

PONCA CITY, Okla, Nov. 20.-A few years ago an oil millionaire now a man facing comparative want.
 Such is the case of E. w. Mar land, founder of the Marland oil company only six years ago valued at more than $85, 100000.
 Encompassed by all the visible symbols of wealth and beholding from his windows a mighty indus trial project which he fathered, Marland, according to published reports, has only his palatial home and an income tax refund claim left. The home he built three years ago at a cost of a million dollars.
 The tax refund claim may bring him nothing. Should it be allowed it might return to him $1,600000 of the fortune he once possessed.
 Across the prairie from his man sion, Marland can view the broad acres of the industrial holdings he once controlled. Down a carefully landscaped avenue he can see the heroic figure of the Pioneer Wop- man." the statue which he gave to Oklahoma in March, 1880. It cost him $100000.
 Changes Hands i
 All that is left of Marlands once numerous millions has passed into the hands of William H. McFad- den, formerly an employe of the oil man, in return for assuming obligations totalling $250,000. .ia
 Marland, now 57, was brilliant student in youth and obtained a law degree at 19. Two years of law in his native state of Penn sylvania were followed by IS years as an oil man there.
 He came to Oklahoma in 1912 and in IA years had built virtually from the ground up one of the southwest's largest fortunes and controlled a vast business empire
 Tn 1920 by obtaining the mineral concession to a 5000 000-acre tract in Sonora, Mexico, he turned one of the largest oil deals in the an nals of the industry. His projects expanded and in 1926 he had hold ings in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, California, Kansas, Colo rado, Canada, Mexico and Eng. land.
 Beginning of Decline
 The next year saw the beginning of the decline. The Marland Oi financial report showed a deficit O. more than $7,69o,0OO, and in Octo Der, 1928, Marland retired iron active control of the company.
 It was prior to this unexpected turn of events that Marland ant Miss Lydie Miller Roberts, his frs wifes niece and his ward, wer, marrieid. The first Mrs Marland an invalid, had died in June, 1926
 Whether Marland will try t. "beat back" to his former place il the world of commerce is uncer tain. It is hinted he may attemp to dispose of his home and, even tually establishing his claim agains the government, retire from activ acquisition of wealth to live on tn remains of his once broad holdings

It seemed like real party if only she had succeeded in bring ing out the poignant misery of her own unpopularity. Her eyes shone. I'm going to do a little every day.
 The telephone at her bedside table tangled.

 Venice let the receiver sink slow ly into place. The Yale-Princeton game Crisp, tangy air; pretty girls in pretty clothes; cheery men in raccoon coats and high spirits. And going home in a car. Laugh ing and singing and smuggling close to a raccoon shoulder. She knew. Shed done it once, her de- butante year, when her mother had arranged a party. She had liked it better than anything that had ever happened in the gay, social whirl. Oh, God, she wanted to go. Almost everybody went. And what was worse almost everybody talked of 1t for a week afterwards. Two weeks of acknowledged exclusion for Venice.
 Writing. Pouff! It wasn't enough. l When Lola came Venice analysed her for the hundredth time. Noth- ing ever worried or fretted her seemed to impress her one way CT another. She slid gaily, heedlessly on. Her brown eyes, chocolate and slightly prominent, like the eyes ot a Pekinese, sparkled and laughed her mouth turned up at the cor ners, her snub nose aided and abet- ted her general look of efferves- cence. Even the crisp bits of crinky yellow hair that sprung from the

TO SEND DIVERS
 2,oOO FEET DEEP
Italian Expert Perfecting Apparatus to Break
 All Records

Rome.-UP)-The heroic ef- forts of Italian divers to reach the muddy treasure room of the gold laden ship, Egypt. sunk off the cast of Brest, has brought to notice that Italian engineers lead in the construction of new types of diving apparatus.
 Signor Giovanni Galeazzi is put ting the finishing touches on new kind of diving tower. with which he expects to reach depth of nearly 2.000 feet, many times deeper than man ever has gone before. Engineer Galeazzi already has invented a diving tower. which reaches nearly 1000 feet under water.
 Galeazzi has overcome the inn mense water pressure by making his diving towers of a light steel produced under a secret process. Properly speaking, they are not diving suits, since the man within the tower Is only an observer and cannot walk. or use his hands. The tower resembles a huge cylinder. into which the diver is screwed. protect the diver.
 By means of a telephone the diver-observer directs the move ments of the tower. Six unbreak- able glass windows provide eyes, through which he reports his ind ings to the surface. His observa- tions permit the surface crew to direct grappling hooks and other devices for salvaging to the proper places. Glass windows are also provided on the bottom. To pene- trate the darkness of deep sea depths, a red light of 10000 can dlepower Is used.
