WHAT SYLVIA SAID
By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

To the visitors, Sylvia's an
nouncement meant nothing, but to
the members of her club, it meant
everything. 1t was Sylvia's way Of
saying 81 have found myself"
at was just like our Sylvia of
DID," commented her friends
among themselves, "and she was
brave enough to do it,"
1t is inspiring to meet a person
who has found himself. 1t is thrill
ing to hear a person say that he
has found himself.
Many a person has gone wrong,
has seen the danger signals, has
changed his course and gone
right, but he would not admit any
thing to anybody. You were left
in the dark to work out your own
opinion and come to your own
conclusion about him. You might
be suspicious of him for years
no matter how complete his refor-
nation, because nothing that he
had said had given you reason to
believe he had seen light.
One who has sinned in secret
can repent in secret and reform
in secret. He is not called on to
expose his weakness to the world.
But the one who has sinned in
public, who has already exposed
his weakness to the world, should
if he has changed his ways, let
the world know definitely that he
has changed. Otherwise the world
will think quite naturally that he
is as he was.
The man who has openly done
wrong and who openly renounces
his wrong policy is far more re-
spected and applauded by the
world than the man who has done
wrong openly and keeps secret
his determination to adopt and
follow the right course.
And public announcement of a
change from the wrong course to
the right does not have to be
maudlin and silly. 1t can be dig
nified and admirably impressive
as was Sylvia's.
In our town are several capa-
bic, valuable men who have been
as crooked, politically, as a pref
eel. 1t is believed by some that
they are sorry for the harm they
have done their community and
would welcome an opportunity to
make amends. Yet they do not

ance should be.
But Sylvia and Arthur were not
always that way. Several years
after they were married, Sylvia
cot off on the wrong foot. No
body understood just why. 1t was
not known whether she was to
blame or whether Arthur was to
blame. But Sylvia began showing
manifestly more interest in other
men than in her husband. AS
might be expected in such a situa-
ton, Sylvia's name became linked
with that of a man-about-t town.
Sylvia's friends and ArthurS
friends and the rest of the folks
in the know, who deplored matrl-
monial failures, were distressed
bv Sylvia's behavior. The pros
poets indicated disgrace and trag-
edv. Sylvia seemed completely to
have lost her head and she was
rapidly losing her standing. She
is acting like a fool" commented
one of her closest friends.
Then one day a club to which
Sylvia belonged, entertained at
luncheon large visiting delega-
ton. :,
"That you all may know each
other and get better acquainted, "
said the chairman after the guests
were seated, 81 ask that each of
you rise and tell who you are"
When Sylvia's turn came, she
got up, stood very straight and
held her head very high. 81 am
Mrs. Arthur Ammerhurst," she
said in a ringing voice. 81 am the
wife of Mr.. Arthur Ammerhurst.
And | am proud of it,"

Forces Smoke Out Door.
The smoke catcher is known as an
electrical precipitation" and consists
of q device which uses q 75,000-volt
electric current to attract the smoke
particles as they try to escape. The
precipitator hurls the smoke particles
against the side of the smokestack
and forces them out through . side
door.
Electrical precipitators have been
used for some time in reclaiming pre-
cious metals from smoke in smelters,
according to engineers, but its adapta-
ton to catching fine particles Of dust
and carbon in flue gases is a recent
development.

Contender for Americas Cup

Despite Sea Superstition Against
Feminine Sailors.

Burton, who skippered the late Sir
Thomas Lipton's fourth Shamrock In
1920, was the last woman to sail on
one of the big yachts in q cup series.
Shamrock Nv did not win, but then,
neither did any Of doughty Sir Toms
other four green challengers, so maybe
he did not feel Lady Burton seriously
damaged his chances.
No women were aboard the Amer
ica's cup contestants of 1880. when
Enterprise trounced Shamrock v, the
last of the Upton line. but two women
did sail on one Of the prospective de-
tenders on one occasion during the
elimination races. They were Mrs
Chandler Hovey, wife of the syndicate
manager, and Mrs. Richard Hoyt, wife
Of another member Of the syndicate
who were aboard Yankee In q run be-
tween Mattapoisett and Vineyard Ha-
ven. Yankee finished second to En-
terprise and Enterprise later became
the successful defender.
Yankee Is coming out again this
year in the hope Of being selected over
Weetamoe and Rainbow, the latter

honor Of meeting the British chal.

young woman may be aboard her dur

Hovey, young and attractive daughter
Of Chandler Hovey. and a capable
skipper in her own right Papa Hovey

has been in international yachting
competition before in small craft and
it will not be surprising If she shows

BOSTON, March 31.-A sailor
ashore may regard the ladies with

other story. Every mariner Of any
standing at all knows that to ship

Graying heads wag over news from
England that T. o. M. Sopwith Is
bringing Mrs. Sopwith along as a
member of Endeavor's crew in his
quest for the Americas cup next Sep
tember.
Women have sailed on America s
cup contenders before, but always as
guests, and never as members Of the
crew. Perhaps they didn't lose races,
but certainly they did not win many.
In 1886, the first woman appeared
in international cup races. She was
Mrs. William HEM, wife Of Lieut..
Hem, popular owner Of the British
challenger, Galatea. Gen. Charles j.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March 31.-Alvanley
Johnston, the highest ofncer of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
and G. Stirling Smith, banker, were
sentenced to 1 to 80 years in the
Ohio State Penitentiary today as an
aftermath Of a $4,000, 900 bank failure
two years ago.
The bank was the Standard Trust
Co. Of Cleveland, successor to the
brotherhood's own national bank. The
brotherhood did not operate the
Standard Trust, but had on deposit
for its $4,000 members some 50 2,0o0. 900.
Convicted in Shortage.
Johnston and Smith, president Of
the Standard Trust, were convicted q
month ago of misapplying $3.50. 1000
OF the banks money, and making
false entries in the books. On trial
with them was James H. Cassell,
secretary-treasurer Of the brother
hood, and like Johnston, a director
Of the Standard Trust. The jury was
unable to agree on seven counts
against Cassell. and he was tentatively
marked up for second trial. Four
counts were dismissed today. Judge
Virgil Terrell sentenced the two bank
officers on each Of nine counts.
Smith was given a sentence last
November of 2 to 81 years for en-
bezzling $4,000 Of Standard Trust
money. Dale T. Winslow. another
of1icer of the institution, drew a
sentence Of to 81 years on the same
charge.

Of the drivers union. I'VE are re-
turning to work with our union, with
our garage committees stronger and

scribed last night by Treasury officials.
Air Blown Up.
From the forced draft fans in the
basement below the furnaces, the air
is blown up under the stokers, where
1t is mixed with gases of combustion.
From there 1t continues on up through
the boilers in the form CT hot fiue
gases, laden with dust and cinders.
After passing up through the
boilers, the gases are run through q
cinder eliminator, where most Of the
heavier particles are collected in a
large steel hopper, to be eventually
dropped down into the ash-handling
system through pipes.
The draft fans, located high above
the boilers, draw the gasses up from
the cinder eliminators and discharge
them into the new electrical precipi-
tators, which are to be located in the
highest part of the building, just
under the short steel chimneys.
Will Remove Dust.
The duty of the electrical precipi-
tators will be to remove from the
gasses the fine particles Of dust and
cinders, so that only clean gas will be
discharged to the atmosphere. The
precipitation consists of a rectangular
chamber with a great many vertical
steel plates forming narrow vertical
ducts or passages about 8 inches
across, through which the dust-laden
gas passes.
In the center of these passages
wires are suspended from a frame
work carried on insulators. The
framework is connected to one side Of
equipment generating $4,000 volts
direct current. The steel plates FORM
ing the passages are connected to the
other side of the electric circuit so
that highly charged electro-static
field is maintained around the wires.
AS the flue gas is driven into the
narrow passages. the dust particles are
forced into the field around the wires
