F. C. Bonnet Travels Trail
of Languages During
40 Years Work.
BY HELEN LINDSAY
Times staff Writer

A comedy of languages is behind
Fred c. Bonnet, jeweler extraor-
binary, who has piled his trade in
the shops of Germany, Switzerland,
France and the United States Tor
more than forty years.
A Germany by birth, Bonnet
entered the factories in the various
countries without knowing the ma
tive tongue, but found in his art a
means of expressing himself, which
was understood by his fellow work.
men. Today, he teaches Indianap-
oils housewives, students and others
interested in this method of eX-
preston.
Bonnet for the last two years has
been conducted classes in the rear
of his store, 162 North Illinois street,
With the assistance of Miss Mabel
West, former art instructor in Man
ual Training high school, he teach
eS two classes each week.
Uses Egyptian Methods
Using methods of treating metals
and stones first discovered by the
Egyptians, Bonnet and Miss West
show these pupils how to make
rings, pins and other pieces of
jeWelry. Bonnet occupies much of
his time in the creation of unusual
pieces. designed by himself.
Exhibiting a ring on which he
has reproduced most life-like dull
gold beetle, he admits that he finds
much amusement in his own work
L served my apprenticeship in
Germany, more than forty years
ago. he explains. Then it was
necessary to work for several years
learning the art before there was
any pay. Later 1 went to the border
of Switzerland, where only French
was spoken. I could speak only
German, but I understood what
they meant when they showed me
the designs for jewelry, and was
able to do the work.
Worked for Japanese
Il came to the United States, and
worked in jewelry stores here. When
first came to Indianapolis, I
worked with Ikko Matsumoto, who
has a shop on the Circle. He could
speak the japanese language, but
1 could not understand it. I could
speak German, which he did not
know. But we understood our work,
and got along in that way together. -
Twenty-Seven years ago, Bonnet
opened his own store on Illinois
street. He became acquainted with
Miss West when she was conducting
jewelry classes at Manual Training
high school. and he was able to fur
nish her pupils with stones and bits
of metal to be used in their work.
When she retired from the school,
they decided to open classes in Bon
nets store.
One Of the most promising pupils
in the classes is Mrs. George Alig
Jr., 1888 Carrollton avenue. Under
direction of Bonnet and Miss West,
Mrs. Alig has learned TO design and
execute many beautiful pieces of
jewelry, and has made a number Of
pieces of fine silver tableware.
Makes Fraternity Pin
Il made my son, who is a graduate
of Wabash college, fraternity pin
which probably is the piece of which
I am most proud" Mrs. Alig says.
1T was designed with the fraternity
insignia, and has given him much
pleasure.
Aside from that, I have had
much amusement in making ring
for a small nephew. Eden Alig.
Because there are q number of
children in the family, his mother

List" Being Planned

Early reports from a vanguard
Of 1000 women canvasSing Wash
ington to bring housewives and
employers under the Blue Eagle
banner indicated today that the
big drive is meeting with marked
success.
Thomas P. Littlepage, general.
issimo Of the army, said that most
Of the workers reported they were
meeting with little difficulty in
getting cooperation in their house
to house canvas.
1000 Sign Pledge
General Littlepage said he
had checked the names of the
more than 1000 persons who have
signed agreements at the Benja-
min Franklin Post Office to de-
termine their status insofar as
they are justified in flying the
banner.
Mr.. Littlepage said that in such
cases where an employer has no
right to display the Blue Eagle,
such cases will be reported to his
committee. Then, he said, if ef.
forts to effect readjustment are
unsuccessful, the names of these
persons will be placed on an "op-
potion list" He added:
"Of course we will be lenient
in cases where an employer Is
willing to cooperate under the
code, but others who refuse to
give cooperation will be sum-
marily dealt with.
TO USE OTHER MEANS
"Of course, we cannot tear
down q Blue Eagle banner in .
window, but we will use other
means that probably will be as
effective"
It was pointed out by Mr.. Little
page that persons who already
have Blue Eagle banners and who
are unable to comply with the
code will not be placed on the op-
position list If their cases meet
with approval Of his committee.

MACHADO STILL
PRESIDENT BY
TECHNICALLY
Resignation Not Yet Accepted
To Give New Chief Chance
To Frame Program

HAVANA, Aug. 16 G,N.S0.
Failure of the new government
Of President Carlos Manuel De
Cesp, les to accept or record the
resignation Of Gerardo Machado,
fugitive dictator, was disclosed
to International News Service
today.
It was explained his resigna-
ton from the presidency was not
formally accepted because, un-
der the law, this would have
compelled calling special elec.
ton within 80 days.
De Cespedes Seeks Delay
The new Administration, q
spokesman said, is anxious to
avoid a special election until
proposed reforms are ready for
enactment and con 1itionS
throughout the republic are COM
pletely quiet.
AS a result, Machado is actu-
ally on leave Of absence. This
lains why De Cespedes re-
tained the post Of secretary Of
state for himself when he formed
his cabinet, since he is actually
serving only as president ad in
terim. Technically, he would
have to return to the state de-
partment from the presidential
palace as soon as a new president
was chosen.
It also means, theoretically,
that Machado can return to Cuba
and instantly become President
again unless his resignation is
accepted and recorded by Con-
gresS. If Congress refused to
accept 1t, in this event no one
knows what would happen.
MachadO'S Resignation
Cosme de Ia Torriente revealed
that for the time being the PreSi-
dent has put Secretary of Justice
Carlos Saladrigas in charge Of
the state department. Machado,
before his hurried departure,
signed a document reading:
"FOr reasons which 1 do not
need to state, I hereby ask
leave Of absence from the presi.
dency and present my resigna-
ton, to be accepted at any con-
venient moment"
