Housewife Turns

ToGet Reputation
Arkansdr KnOtUn as
Best Compressor
in South.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FIeSS.
, HORSESHOE LAKE, Ark, october
13.-The work of a housewife irked
Mrs. Thomas j. Johnson, 81, so she
took up the cotton ginning business
and has come to be regarded as one
of the best compressors in the South.
Some say she is the only woman
in the country to hold such job.
Every morning she goes about the
business of bossing the gin crew on
the Thompson plantation near here
a slim, girlish person dressed in white
riding breecheS and blue shirt, a white
cap atop of her curly black hair.
Nobody ever thought of woman
serving as gin superintendent until
the idea occurred to Frank Thomp-
son of Memphis, Tenn. owner of the
plantation.
She demurred when he first offered
her the job. But he persisted and she
finally accepted, although protesting
that "it's mans job"
She ginned IS bales the first week
she worked. Compress experts say
her bales are better wrapped than
any they have ever seen.
'Ive always liked to stay outdoors
and I've never been especially crazy
about cooking or house work." ex-
plains Mrs. Johnson, who is the wife
Of the plantation storekeeper ard the
mother of one child.

the Supreme Court stood three-three
ON the matter, and lest he be deprived
OF further party rights, Judge Porter
abandoned his suit and entered the
special election. Senator Long moved
four sound trucks and a picked bat
terry of share our wealth speakers in1o
the district, himself at their head,
and, by his own admission, worked
harder than 7 ever worked before in
campaign in all my life"
The share-our- wealth platform
which he first used in campaigns to
elect Mrs. Hattie Caraway Senator
from Arkansas two years ago, pro-
poses the limitation of individual in
comes and inheritances. His argu-
ment in the Fournet campaign was
simple.
IF you elect a hostile Supreme
Court justice, who is a corporation
lawyer to boot" he argued to the
voters, They'll declare all the new
tax exemption and homestead relief
laws of the share-our wealth move
ment unconstitutional. You won't
get the relief I have promised you.
To make sure OF enjoying these bene-
fits, you must elect share-our- wealth
candidate to the Supreme Court"
That was the whole campaign-that
and the judicious distribution of pat
ronage according to the formula used
by all sides and all factions in Louis
lana, but more open to Long because
of the enormous number of jobs he
controls through his domination of
all the branches of State government.
The vote was fairly close; but, re-
gardless of the size of the majority,
John B. Fournet, who never before
had held any judicial position, was
elected to the Supreme Court on the
share-our- wealth platform.
That, for the moment, United States
Senator Long controls the executive
and legislative branches of civil gov
ernment in Louisiana and makes free
use of the militia to maintain his
domination cannot be denied. Theo-
retically, no man knoweth in advance
what courts may do. But the election
figures to choose a seventh member
for a Supreme Court that divided
three and three on a political question
within the past fortnight read: Long
candidate 21,365; anti-Long candidate,

LONG EXPECTED TO RUN
FOR PRESIDENT. IN SO
Formation of New "Share- -Our.Wealth" Party Pre-
dicted, Nominating Louisiana Senator for
Next Presidential Race. ..

In fact, he lost every congressional
race outside the city. Indeed, in three
of those districts, the anti-Long
candidates were not even opposed.
But, in the Southwestern race for
the Supreme Court, no election was
held. Two days before the time to
vote, Justice Overton died of heart
attack. Under the primary; law, this
would have left Judge Porter as party
nominee, and Democratic nomination
in Louisiana is equivalent to election.
Thus, in spite of the fact that Senator
Long handed the city machine a
thorough trimming, and elected his
candidate to the Supreme Court from
the New Orleans district, the polit-
ical complexion Of the bench, if any,
still would have been four to three
against him.
He ordered the party committee to
call a new primary, regardless of the
law. 1t did, ousting its chairman to
do so. He entered his candidate,
Lieut. Gov Fournet, and Judge Porter
brought suit to forbid the election
He won this in the lower court, but

ACCIDENT BRINGS
FISH LINE TRADE
Hobby of jewelers. Employe Is
Turned Into Front Porch
"Industry."'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ORANGEBURG, S. c., October 13.
A homemade fishing line hobby
has been converted into front porch
industry" here.
H. o. Dawson, once a railway
express agent and later a jeweler's
employe, began the business quite by
accident and now his lines rank here
abouts somewhere alongside of pedi-
greed hunting dogs and thoroughbred
horses.
During his employment by the
jeweler, a friend of Dawson's, also an
employe, made an apparatus for
twisting fishing lines out of the works
of an old clock. Dawson obtained
the machine and began to twist his
own fishing lines. They were good
ones. He made them of Irish fax and
used great care in the twisting
Receiving an injury, Dawson found
himself confined to wheel chair for
several months and just as hobby he
began to make lines for few friends.
The fame of the lines, especially Daw-
sons 40 and 80 pound trout lines, :"
spread and he began to sell them.
AS business increased, Dawson
taught his four sons to twist the hax
and wind the lines on cardboard.
Finally the front porch Of the Dawson
home became a kind of fish line fac
tory and with the whole family at
work as. many, as 400 fishing lines
have been turned out in day.
The little industry has been in on
eration for about eight years.

MAKES REAL ESTATE
OUTLOOK MORE SURE
"Undoubling" of Families Held
Basis for Increase Signalling -
Depression Wane.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 13.-Many city
dwellers are paying higher rent for
their homes, an indication, said the
National Association of Rear Estate
Boards yesterday, of bettered family
income or income expectancy.
The Fall season shows residential
rents stiffened, not everywhere, but
very generally in cities, the associ-
atoms inquiry among realtors re-
vealed. Practically every response in
the survey asserted the outlook for
real estate is the most favorable in
years.
The uptrend has brought definite
price increases of per cent, 10 per
cent and sometimes, though rarely,
higher. This rise, the association
said, has shown itself most strongly
in the case of single family dwellings
and certain apartment types for which
there is demand.
This news" the association state
ment said, bad though it is to the
family budget, is good news in the
economics of recovery. 1t lays the
foundation without which there can
be no revival of the construction in
dustry on any extensive scale
Except for individual families or
firms for their own needs and use.
construction cannot get into swing
until a point is reached where earn
ing power for existing buildings is
seen to have overtaken costs ex-
pected for new buildings, especially
cost of construction, said Herbert U.
Nelson, secretary of the association.
Responses to the associations in
quiry on rental trends showed that
increased rates are an unmistakable
measure of absorption of vacancies,
due to undoubling of families hitherto
living two or three together.
An important factor, it was said,
Is the rental adjustment going on
where property has gone from weak
ownership to stronger ownership and
to more skilled management. Units
priced out OF line with their actual
comparative rental value in the de-
preston are now being brought back
into line, the association said, with
increases affecting more generally
tenants seeking new quarters.
Among the cities reporting slightly
increased rentals to the associations

REPUBLICANS WAGING

Iowa Senator to Visit State for
Three Talks-King Making
Strenuous Drive.
BY FRANK p. STEWART.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, october
l3-Opposition to the New Deal Is
hard to find in Utah, particularly
among those seeking office. Repub-
hcan leaders may criticize certain
parts of it, but the New Deal, as
such, is not being made the target
for their guns. The Democrats nom-
mated have all come out decidedly
in favor of President Roosevelt and
the New Deal.
Don 3. Cotton, former Representa-
tive and nominee Of the Republican
party for United States Senator from
this State, declares the New Deal
contains a lot of good In outlining
his campaign, Cotton said:
Il favor a social insurance pro-
gram which includes Federal old-age
pensions, insurance for unemploy-
ment through occupational diseases,
elimination of child labor and the
shortening of hours Of labor. favor
a continuation of the public works
program and the continuation Of
relief under proper administration.
In this connection I would severely
condemn the order that people get
ting relief shall take a pauper's oath.
Opposes Crop Reduction.
81 favor a definite monetary policy
with the unlimited coinage Of silver
and gold. am opposed to the CROP
reduction program and believe we
should construct Government ware
houses in which to store the sur
pluses for distribution during lean
years. I am opposed to the regi-
mentation of industry with its grow
ing bureaucracy and opposed to the
weakening of civil service, which is
a return to the spoils system. am
opposed to the delegation by Congress
to the President of tariff making
powers"
The Republican nominees are not
conducting half-hearted campaign.
Cotton, Arthur Woolley, nominee
from the first district, and E. o.
Loofburrow, from the second, for the
House Of Representatives, are good
campaigners. They are working hard.
Neither side will spend as much
money in the campaign as has been
spent in, former years.
Senator L. j. Dickinson of Iowa
will speak in Utah October 20 and
81. at Provo, Ogden and Salt Lake
City. Democrats also will have some
outside speakers.
King in Strenuous Drive.
Senator King is losing no time. He
always has been known as a hard
worker and brilliant campaigner. He
covers three to five meetings many
nights.
The much-talked-of third-party
movement took form in Salt Lake
County last week, but it was so con-
Quoted that the third-party movement
is considered dead
Senator Ebert D. Thomas Is in
Utah and has placed himself at the
disposal of the State Democratic
Committee.
Suggested wagers still favor the
Democratic nominees by heavy odds,
although Representative Loofbourow
is conceded chance.
