He sought something else in
1929; what he offered was not
part ownership of the utilities, but
a share in a share of that own
ership; horse of quite another
color as it turned out.
What brought the chance? Why
was insult out to rig the market
and gluttonous of the peoples
money in 1929?
TYRUS Eaton, public utility
~ and steel magnate, native of
Nova Scotia, father of eight, a Sc
cretive, bold operator, set out de-
liberately in the latter part of
1923 to extend his utilities princi-
pality-thes United Light and
Power-into Chicago.
He coveted Commemorative di-
son, Peoples Gas and Public Serv-
ice of Northern Illinois, with their
vast reserves, swollen profits, and
popular prestige.
Eaton, allied with c. A. Otis,
Cleveland investment banker, or
ganized the giant investment
trust, Continental Shares, as an
implement of aggression. :
First to last, Continental Shares
accumulated $156,OOO,O0O from the
funds of the Eaton associates,
Ohio spectators and investors
and in paper profits.
A formidable weapon leveled at
insult control, deadlier than Loew-
ensteins assault early in 1928.
Eaton began to buy in the fall
OF 1923. insult, made wary by the
brush with the Belgian, quickly
spotted the source of the buying
orders. He learned that the Cleve-
landers were buying for control.
These three companies were the
core of his empire. Moreover, he
had built them from virtually
nothing to industrial power and
eminence.
insult determined to fight. A
fight would take money, enormous
sums, more, probably, than the
house of insult could lay its hands
on.
A T that point, an evil genius

participation to the public.

THRILLED BY

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. % d.N.S).
From Dixie two more beauties had
come today to be launched on the
Cinderella trail that may lead to
filmdom fame and fortune.
They are Iona Andre, of Nash
vile, Tenn, and Gail Patrick, Of
Birmingham, Ala.
The South in recent years has
supplied its full quota of beauty
for the screen. including Joan
Crawford, Tallulah Bankhead,
Mary Brian, Evelyn Brent, Adri.
enne Ames, Juliette Compton,
Bebe Daniels, Irene Dunno,
Claudia Dell, Ann Harding, Mir
lam Hopkins. Dorothy Jordan,
and Una Merkel; and the two
newest daughters of Dixie will be
given every opportunity to make
good.
Were In Contest
The Misses Andre and Patrick
came to Hollywood as finaliSts in
q studio contest to select an "un-
known" for a feature picture.
Miss Kathleen Burke, of Chicago,
won first honor, but the studio
could not deny the Southern
beauties and they we're given con-
tracts. Miss Patrick said today:
my real ambition a few
months ago was for a legal
career which l hoped would be
Climaxed with a term rs COVER
nor Of my native Alabama. But
today / must admit that q
screen career has taken prece-
dence over my hopes for pOliti-
cal success, quite in contrast
to my earlier dreams. I never
even dreamed six months ago
that I'd be a sreen actress by
Thanksgiving Day.
"Tve had my camera baptism,
small part in one picture, and
now have the feminine lead
In q picturee.
MOVAES MUCH bETTEN
Maybe it would be exciting
to be governor of Alabama,
but I'm sure it couldn't equal
the fascinating career of being
q movie actresS!"
Miss Andre, however" always
had longed for film career. She
said:
81 came to Hollywood to try
for a part, in pictures because
I wanted to get here and take
q chance. I wasn't passing up
any opportunity, no matter how
remote. Of furthering this ambi-
tiOn. I'm prefectly satisfied to

viously woman is of her original opinion
as to where her place iS-there must
have been a first man who made up
J womans mind her place was in the
home. Perhaps it was Adam, for 1T Is
recorded that Eve, upon seeing the tree OF
knowledge of good and evil, noted that this
discovery constituted delight to the eye and
to be desired to make man wise She there
fore gave some OF the fruit to Adam. 1t can
readily be deduced from the narrative that
Adam thereupon convinced her Of the folly OF
such excursions outside the domain of her
home But at all events she discovered an i'm
provement in the process OF becoming wise
and who car ssy that is not the essence of in
ventiOn?
If it is not should not Eve be awarded the
palm as first woman inventor on another
basis? No man could have instituted the cul-
mary art To woman belongs the credit; and
her Improvements. or more correctly, her In
ventions. were palpably momentous. For is II
not recorded that Adam lived $40 years?
Or if it was a later age that saw the incuba-
ton of this urquenchable urge in woman to
improve all with which she comes in contact,
perhaps it when Noah, the while laying
down sockdolagers to her, put aside his saw
and timber and with Mrs Noah surveyed
their handiwork, the ark. The narrative does
not reveal how Noah induced his helpmeet to
take her place in this new home; alas and
alack. the historians deemed it sufficient
merely to record that she went.
Here however, was invention of which any
woman may be proud for what mere man will
dare to venture odds that in thiS three-storied
structure Noah's wife did not lay out the
kitchen? Through those 40 days and nights Of
unabated downpour, should the kitchen be in
the attic the better to dispense with cooking
odors? Or should it be the promenade
deck or in the hold? The chronoclers are
silent but their silence on the point is eloquent.
For 40 days and nights (because the man
never lived who could do it, Mrs. Noah fed

That was the year 1909: and when Mary K;es
Of Connecticut took out her patent May Of
that year, on straw weaving with silk or
thread" she started something the end Of
which is not in sight. And yet the paucity of
patents in those days appeared to make serial
numbering Of them unnecessary, and 1t was not
until after the destructive Patent Office fire of
1885, in which all details of Mary Kies' patent
were lost that serial numbers were assigned.

1873 Levinia H. Foy of Massachusetts, and

were for corsets, for cuffs, for hoopskirt,
l on pins Twenty years later she made an
other improvement in corsets, thus producing
an even dozen patents on one subject, with
total of 16, plus reissues.
But it would take an Edison to rival the
numerical record of Cathrine A. Griswold of
New York and Connecticut. for. starting
eral years later than did Mrs. Foy, she piled
up a total IN % years of 80 patents and at
least reissues. all but one of which were on
corsets. Harriet Godfrey Emery and Margaret
Cate Fuller of Boston took out a patent in
1870 on an improvement in collars, following
which the former received several on corsets

One of these-the cook stove patented by
Emma Steinhauer February 9. 183l-is the first
