UPSIDE DOWN ART BY RADIO MAN

Here's one for Mr.. Ripley's BE
lieve 1t or Not factory, with Frank
Bowles, of Station KXO as the
hero, the central figure, prima
donna or whatever is proper.
Having some leisure time on his
hands while playing transcriptions
over the radio station, Frank start
ed several months ago fooling with
colored crayons. Without any in
struction in drawing, he began to
turn out landscapes that are plenty
good enough for anyone and much
better than those produced by
many who have had instructions
in art.
He told a Press representative
the other night and the doubling
instinct inherent in Scribes assert
ed itself with the good old Mis-
souri, phrase, "show me-"
Brother BoWles did. He grab
bed a piece of paper and hand
ful of crayons, threw one against
the other juggled them around a
bit, said a few weird incantations
and snapped the result into a
frame which he presented to the
scribe. 1t was highly meritorious

MISS STEELE
FEARED DEATH
FROM NAZ|S

Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
ABOARD S. S. PRESIDENT
HARDING, AT SEA, Dec. 13.-Miss
Lillian Isobel Steele of Hollywood,
Calf, expelled from Germany on
charges of spying, told the United
Press today that her prison cell in
the reich had been marked with a
cross, indicating that she was des-
tined for execution by the NaziS.
AS the President Harding steam
ed from Hamburg towards LIE Hav-
re, bearing Miss Steele home Gin
time for Christmas, she discussed
her adventures with reserve, still
fearing to break the seal of silence
put on her by German authorities
as a condition of her deportation
instead of trial by the stern peo-
ples' court.
Miss Steele spent four months in
German prisons. She was arrested
on unSpecified charges. and finally
released under orders of deporta-
ton, only after strenuous efforts in
her behalf by consular authorities.
Officials declared she had been
guilty of indiscreet espionage activ-
tiles, although obviously not pro-
fessional spy.
Miss Steele was pennileSs and
pale, but otherwise in good spirits
over her release after a long i'm
prisonment and what amounted to
a "tour' of German jails.
She had been held in five priS-
onS, she said.
At Moabit prison, she declared
her cell had a cross on it and her
prison neighbors told her, "Your
case is hopeless. -
1t was revealed that at one time
the American girl considered COM
mitting suicide III prison.
81 failed to carry out the plan
because of a fear of violating some
law governing the universe, rather
than the fear of death, - she said
"Once bird sang outside in the
prison courtyard" she continued
81 went to the window and Whis-
! tied a reply. Immediately dooi
opened and a matron came in, say
ing, "Now I know how you signal
you sly one'.'

A|R-COOL|NG
FOR HOME IS
ON. INCREASE

AS the automobile has come from
the luxury class to that of necessi-
ty air conditioning of homes in
hot weather is fast progressing to
the point where owners may be
willing to spend as much for cooling
in summer as they do for heating
in winter. This statement was
made at the annual Rural Electric
Short Course at the branch of the
College of Agriculture. at Davis, by
DR.. B. M. Woods, chairman of the
department of mechanical engi-
neering in the University of Cali
fornia.
Cooling of hotels, theatres, res
taurants, and some homes now
corresponds to the few stretches
of pavement in the early history
OF the motor car, DR.. Woods said,
adding, Conservative and thought
tul men throughout the country are
prophesying rapid development OF
air-conditioning for residences. .
Two hundred inquiries have been
received recently at the university
on this subject, he said.
Commercial installments of air
conditioning in the central valleys
OF California, the speaker said,
have shown an approximate equal
ity between the cost of summer
cooling and winter heating. With
the development of the subject, in
creased production and standardi-
zation of equipment, he believes the
cost will be reduced.
DR.. Woods presented seven sys-
TENS of air conditioning for resi-
dences, covering practically all con-
ditions of operation in ordinary
residences. He discussed the ad-
vantages and disadvantages OF
these and their operating costs.

Navy Captain Dunked.

Rank means nothing whatever In
the Navy when 1t comes to observance
of the various unique customs peculiar
| to the Service-aS witness the dunking
Of Capt. w. F. Halsey, U. S. N.
The rank of captain in the Navy is
an exalted rank. 1t corresponds to
that of colonel in the Army. Rank,
however, didn't save Capt Halsey
when the moment arrived which
called for his being deposited in the
ocean by the -too-gentle hands
of agroup of very junior naval avia-
ton students.
1t is the custom at the big naval
aviation training center, Pensacola,
Fla, to "baptize" AVIATION students
upon completion of their solo flights.
Capt. Halsey. a student. passed a solo
check and soloed recently in a primary
seaplane.
When he landed and climbed out
of the cockpit his fellow students, vir-
tually all of them fledgling ensigns not
long out of the Naval Academy, seized
upon him and heaved him bodily into
the sea.
THE captain did a sidewise one
and half, landing gracefully on his
face, Immediately submerging," it is
stated in report to the Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics of this momentous oc-
currence in naval annals. When,
after the usual photographs were
taken he was asked if he had any
statement to make for the press, the
captain replied, I'm all wet"

Romance Neglected.


RORN of race to which armours
~ are principal object in life. Fran
els Lederer has found romance sadly
shunted into the background in
America.
Americans, he declares, are "too
busy for love-" Their lives are full OF
other things, and consequently the
little blind bow boy doesn't get half
the break that he does on the other
side of the Atlantic.
All of which, the handsome young
Czech conceded to fellow players in
Paramount's The Pursuit of Happi-
ness" is a good thing from practical
standpoint and saves this country a
lot of trouble. But he holds. never
theless. that Americans don't know
what they are missing.
On the whole, Europeans have more
leisure than Americans and conse-
quently devote more time to romance
and courtship. AS a result, he de-
clares, the opportunities for love are
far more numerous there than in this
country.
In CzechoSlovakia," he says, "the
average woman does nothing to con-
tribute to her financial support. A
girl chooses no profession, but pre-
pares herself for marriage as career.
She spends her time acquiring the
social graces, helping her mother with
the household, and enjoying herself.
Men, too, have more time than here.
It's a common thing for people to
spend all day and half the night
sitting in cafes-day after day and
night after night.
But here jobs are still more nu-
merous and life is not so empty. The
women as well as the men have many
interests. They're part of both the
social and business world and they're
eternally busy. It's a healthy condi-
ton. think Europe would be better
off if it prevailed there, too. And
