Black and Gold

Height Of Tables

Tables should be at a con-
venient height for the use to
which they are to be put. A
kitchen work table should be
adjusted to the height of the
person who works in the
kitchen.
The housewife has con-
siderable difficulty in select
ing a chair for her husband,
and he in turn is hopelessly
lost in selecting a chair for
his wife. If a man sits erect,
one type is most suitable; if
he lounges or slides down,
another would be more use
full. In either case he should
test the chair to ensure the
fact that it will be comfort
able for him. Other chairs
may be a compromise, but
the ones to be used by the
particular members of the
family should be chosen by
them.

SK|PPY, MISSED
AT POOL, FOUND
Nimble YOungSter Now Is
Resident of Town
in Idaho.

To those who have wondered
what became OF Skippy, the boy
who seemed to get more kick out of
swimming and diving in Rhodius
park pool than any of the other
swimmers, The Times today gives
the answer.
In letter from his father, Will
liam L. owens, Montpelier, Idaho
The Times learned that Skippy
who is Harold v. Owens to his par
ents. is with his mother in Malad,
Idaho.
Recently a story was printed that
the gang at Rhodius pool missed
Skippy. He was the favorite last
year and many of the guards and
children couldn't understand his
sudden disappearance.
From his fathers letter, however,
it appears that Skippys sudden de-
parture from the city was caused by
affairs over which the boy had no
control.
With illness in the family and
with his own health impaired, the
elder Owens says he went west in
an attempt to regain his health
The father now is in a civilian
conservation corps camp.
"Skippy does not have a chance
to swim here like he had at Rho
dius park" the father wrote. But
his heart is there and if the oppor-
tunity ever presents itself we'll
come back to Indianapolis"

U. S. OFFICIALS
Gas Tank Leak May Be to
Blame, Is Hint of
Some Pilots.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Oct. II. =
Aeronautical experts from the de-
partment of commerce today studied
fragments of the huge passenger
plane that plunged seven persons to
death near Chesterton, in ap effort
to determine the cause of the crash
A coroner's jury which heard tes-
timony of several witnesses of the
crash and airplane experts who ex-
amined the wreckage returned
verdict of accident, and made no at
tempt to say what caused the eX-
ploSion that preceded the crash.
All witnesses agreed that an ex-
plosion occurred aboard the ship,
but its nature may remain mys-
terry forever. United Air Lines Off
Gals, operators of the Inflated ship,
said there was no indication of what
caused the explosion.
One theory expressed privately by
several pilots was that leak in the
gasoline tank had filled the cabin
with gasoline fumes and that the
explosion occurred when some one
lighted cigaret.
Bodies of five of those killed were
found badly burned in the twisted
wreckage. They were Harold r.
Tarrant, pilot; A. T. Ruby, co-pilot;
Alice Scribner, stewardess; Fred
Schendorf, and Dorothy M. Dwyer,
passengers.
Bodies of e. Smith and H. r. Bur
ris, passengers, were found short

ascertain the fact that he. and his
theater are not taking too great a
financial risk in bringing En-
peror Jones to this city.
There is no mystery about this
United Artists production to me as
I have had a preview of this movie.
Here is a tremendous psychological
study along racial lines of the de-
stroying power of fear upon an in
dividual.
AS in the original stage produc-
ton, the movie cast is nearly all
Negro with the exception of several
of the characters. The first part of
the movie version is based upon
the ONeill idea because Jones life
in the states as a Pullman porter
when he committed murder and
other crimes is presented in full
instead of suggested in mental
flashes of Jones as done on the
stage.
The last half of the movie is de-
cidedly O'Neill in treatment and
dialogue. At times it is strong and
dangerous but always in keeping
with the O'Neill play.
Paul Robson, Negro actor and
singer, is Jones and he gives ire
mendously fine and powerful per-
Torrance, both when he is strutting
his stuff as a wild one and later
when fear and superstition reduce
him to weakling and lead him
into a death trap.
To my way of thinking, we have
a right to see this O'Neill play in
movie form. AS to its artistic mer-
