LONDON, January Is (P).-Today's
newspapers laid part of the response
bility for yesterdays riot at Dartmoor
Prison to recent outbreaks in American
prison, accounts of which had been
communicated to long-term prisoners
by newcomers.
The Daily Herald, in an article signed
by released Dartmoor convict" laid
part of the blame on American motion
pictures which dramatized prison re-
volt. Some of the new men at Dart
moor had seen one such film and told
the other prisoners about it, the article

he is a pretty capable young man with

Young man, but much faster thinker
than most of them give him credit for
being. SteadfaStneSs may be one of his
greatest traits, but he uses his head in
the ring for other purposes than to
block punches. He has always adapted
his style 20 that of the man he was
fighting and has done it pretty effec-
lively
AS far as Sharkey Is concerned, we
believe, with William Muldoon, that he
has the natural attributes of cham

when his disposition doesn't betray him
The hardest opponent for Sharkey to
overcome is Sharkey.
What about these stories that you

asked.
That's sheer nonsense" he said; "the
odds on that wager are $4,000 to a
dime. I have never even given 1t a
thought. You know that"
Gene Tunney always will be inter-
ested in boxing but he has left pro-
fessional fighting far back of him on
the trail which leads to other things.

How could I pick Sharkey?" he

My next question brought him out of his
garden musings.
Are our women as happy as In LlncoinS
day?"
Happiness is such difficult word to use"
he admitted frankly TT Is hard to say
whether Charlotte Bronte was happier than
the cottage wife with nothing in her head ex-
cept to keep her family going from one weeks
end to another on her few pence. Yet 1t was
a better thing for Charlotte Bronte to have
been what she was.
so with our women today. They are having
a wider experience. Where 1t is Leading, no
one knows but still they seek it, although to
follow the line of least resistance, to sit back
and not take on responsibilities, would be much
easier The young woman who faces expert
ence and opens new channels of life adds to
her difficulties and to her troubles. Whether
she is happier than her more sheltered anceS-
tors of Lncoln'S day Is difficult TO say, out
she is widening her range, making herself

luton

Then what is?"
"FuIlness Of living. That is the greatest
achievement which man or woman can reach.
Many great people have led distressed, unhappy
lives, but they have known ecstasies beyond the
reach of others On the other hand many
people lead humdrum existence from begin
ming to end, never expanding their natures nor
growing spiritually Intellectually. Yet they
can be called happy
And to be envied?"
"In many ways, if that is their ideal, But
for people who have seen beyond that, who
know the excitement of widening spiritual and
intellectual experience that type of existence
won't do any more. They must go on adven-
turing"
"Adventuring!" repeated after him. "The
watchword of the new woman?"
Mr. Drinkwater nodded, lit cigarette, held
it between his fingers.
"Yes, but people talk though that word
meant plunging headlong into every trregu-
larty and abnormality of life. Being free does
not mean ones first ambition is to enter the
world of iniquity. To rid people Of such cant
and humbug-really the results of crueties and
jealousies-w would be real gift to our next
generation"
What could be the greatest legacy from this
generation to the neXt?" he was asked.
"Peace!' came his instant answer
Evening star., 1932-02-07

True" he admitted, "tn certain phases OF
society, which really do not represent the
youth of age, you find a freedom allied to
riches and independence which Is often stupid
in its manifestations. People talk as though
the night clubs were representative of national
life but most young people have never been to
one except as a treat by their elders or an
isolated experience These aspects Of youthful
indiscretions have always existed and are not
exclusive to our age"
In response to question Mr.. Dr1nkwater
explained how he came to select Abraham Lin
coin as the subject of his drama and why be
held this American President one Of his
greatest ideals.
TT was at Birmingham University in my
student days" he said that I first became
familiar with the life and achievements Of the
great President Happening to glance through
a short biography in the library one day, be-
came so much interested in the story Of his
early struggles and grim determination to sue
ceed that I sat down and read the book from
beginning to end
Then and there instinctively adopted Lin
coin as my ideal of greatness. In later years
made study Of his career, reading all the
principal biographies, including the very COM
plete work of Lord Charnwood. In this way l
managed to imbibe what might be termed the
Lincoln atmosphere and was able to visualize
the man and genius in my subsequent dra-
matte work"
THE finely etched profile of the poet-dram-
atiSt was turned toward me as he looked
out into the garden, which seemed prolonga-
ton Of the room, for it streamed in through
the three French windows of that nobly pro-
portioned study. So tall we're those windows
that they also let in the trees, from their
gnarled trunks to their twisted branches, which
wintry winds had robbed of their last leaves
in magnificent decay. This natural setting
seemed appropriate for the tall, broad-Shoul-

He nodded as though reiterating this thought.
then continued: The only way to get peace?
Talk It! Once you get everybody to talk it, you
have 1t. The world is full of people now who
are tremendously eager to do better things,
he added. 1T is greatly question OF dtsarma-
ment Most of the big nations want it. The
danger is that one is not certain the other
wants it and we come to an tmbeclle dead
lock- I would like to see two or three of the
big powers take courage in both hands and
say: We are goine to disarm.' Once they
would do that, the world would be free
why don't women preach to their men all
the time against that CHASTITY business called
war?" he demanded suddenly. women lose SO
much Men lose only their lives. And to me
war is mad through and through; can see no
conceivable argument for it. If we have another
world war, does it honestly matter who wins
it?" he asked bitterly. "Who the last
war? The world is staggering like drunken
man to recover from its effects" Sadly he
shook his head then repeated: Peace is the
best legacy we could leave our progeny"
The lighted cigarette f1ickered away unheed-
ed as once more he looked far out across his
stretch of garden, ref1ectively. And then 10
occurred to me how well this vast room, which
his violinist wife, Daisy Kennedy, calls his mu-

moods. T.,
