The nursery site is in the face of

a bank for several feet. The mother

The Old Gardener Says:

The use OF cold frames is al
most indispensable if the garden
maker wisher to have early flow
ers or vegetables. A hotbed Is
difficult to operate. but the
handling Of a cold frame is
simplicity in itself. II is only
necessary to raise the glass on
warm days to give plenty of ven-
tilation and to keep it closed on
cold nights. OF course, plenty
of water must be given to pre-
vent the ground from drying up.
Seeds can be sown in the cold
frame about four weeks in I'D
vance of the time when they
would ordinarily be planted out
side. When the young plants
are well started they can be set
in the open ground, because by
that time the danger Of freezing
weather will have passed.

GIRL, IS, HELD
AS K|DNAPER

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov.
10 Q.N.S.).-Department of Jus.
tice men, scourge of kidnapers,
prepared today to take 18-year-old
Lou Givens to Lexington, KY,
where she must face a charge of
kidnapping Jackie Gibbons, four
year-old boy of that city.
A Lexington detective returned
the boy to the home Of his father,
John L. Gibbons, yesterday. He
had been missing since Thursday.
Although the young Cincinnati
woman said the boy had followed
her away from home last Thurs.
day." Chattanooga police declared
today that kidnapping charges
would be pressed against her.
Miss GivenS and the child were
discovered in North Chattanooga
house yesterday. The landlord
read newspaper stories Of the miss.
ing boy and notified police.
Radio Patrolmen arrested the
woman, who claimed Jackie was
her brother, Jackie himself claimed
relationship, but admitted his
identity through the persuasion OF
an ice cream cone.
Miss Givens said the boy had
joined her in Lexington, leaving
his play to beg a piece Of candy
she was ting. She said she told
him to "go back" but that he
cried, and she decided to take him
along.

World of Music
Mime. Onegin, Swedish
ContraIto, Delights
Music Lovers Here

Intimate and charming was the
recital given by Nine. Sigrid
Onegin at Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon, and she was
warmly received by a rather
meager audience.
It is a full contralto voice that
the celebrated Swedish singer has,
and it was a delight to hear her
once more after an absence OF sew
eral years from the Capital.
In the lower tones she has great
strength and a breadth Of range,
all of which she used to great ad-
vantage.
Excellent, indeed, was her rendi.
ton of Der Erlkoenig" which she
sang as an encore to her second
group of Schubert lieder.
Dramatic and splendid, this
number was especially suited to
her voice, and she did it dramati-
cally. She showed a fine under
standing of Schubert, and was
wildly applauded for this group.
Aside from her stage presence,
which too many concert singers
seem to lack and which she has
so we'll, Nine. Onegin has a die
ton which is remarkable.
She demonstrated this in a
group of folk songs Of several ma
tions. 1t was easy to follow her
French and English, and this
group of songs was sympathetic
cally done. Especially good was
a Greek lullaby.
The last number on the pro-
gram was the great Song Of
Triumph" from Verdi's Lady
Macbeth" and it was perhaps the
one doubtful selection on the pro-
gram, for it seems more Of a
soprano aria than a contralto.
This she selected to sing in Eng
lish rather than Italian.
The good old drinking song,
where, Oh Where, Has My Little
Dog Gone" (z'Lauterback) won a
storm of applause, and she sang
this over to the oellghL OF the
audience.
Her opening selection was a
group of little-heard ballads by
Carl Loewe, beautifully done and
giving just the right atmosphere.
Hermann Reuter-, her accom-
panist, deserves more than the
usual brief mention accorded
For he proved to be excellent
indeed, understanding and a
pianist of high caliber.
For his solo he gave a group
of Brahms. 1t so happened that
another and perhaps better-known
pianist had also elected to give
this same selection a few weeks
ago, and Mr.. Reuter- proved emf
nently superior.

j. s. CHAMBER
HITS 30-HOUR
WEEK PLEA
By international News Service

BY International News Service
The Manufacturers Committee
of the Chamber Of Commerce Of
the United States stepped forward
today to lead the opposition to
the campaign of organized labor
and other interests for a Federal
compulsory, but flexible, 30'hour
week for all industries.
The committee reports that the
shorter work week would prove
"disadvantageous" to the employees
and to the general public. It said
some industries and workers are
now suffering from NRA'S restric-
tions; that the shorter week would
retard recovery and increase u1-
employment because, the com.
mittee argued, the shorter week
with its increased pay rolls would
cost more than industry could
bear and consumer prices would
have to be raised.
Meeting President Roosevelt's
challenge, business leaders dis
closed today the Nations great
private power interests are ready
to reduce rates and clean house
provided the growing menace Of
Government competition is re.
moved.
The so-called Power Trust"
target of innumerable Govern.
ment Investigations and attacks,
is anxious to make it's peace with
the New Deal along with other
industrial groups. 1t was en-
phasized.
Ready to Expand
Given assurance the Govern.
ment will stop spending vast sums
for the development Of competi.
tive public projects, the private
electric industry is prepared to
join in the business drive for re-
covery through a 100000 plant
extension and rehabilitation pro-
gram. Lower rates, bringing q
great increase in energy consump-
ton, will make such extensions
necessary, it was explained.
An official of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, interested
in the utility field, said:
"The President warned us only
yesterday Of extension Of Gov
ernment projects on vast scale
if we dc not reduce rates. We
are willing to come to terms.
All we want is for the Govern
ment to give us some relief from
these continuous investigations
and to stop its policy of compe-
titi0n."
GrOcers in Line
Meanwhile, the surge Of busi.
ness optimism and desire to co.
operate with the Presidents plans
for accelerating recovery gained
momentum in other quarters.
Many organizations of nation
wide scope rushed to line up with
the movement started by the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. Among these, it was re-
ported, are the National Associa.
tion Of Retail, Wholesale and
Manufacturing Grocers which
will hear Donald r Richberg,
head Of the National Emergency
Council, make an important ad-
dress in New York Wednesday
night.
The National Manufacturers
Association, which also has been
critical of many New Deal policies,
has called a meeting in New York
for early December to pledge CO.
operation, and prepare a program
similar to the chamber.
Under these circumstances, Ad.
ministration officials look into the
immediate future with satisfac.
ton, and the more optimistic are
predicting moderate business
boom, and the best Christmas buy
ing season in several years.

v. A. Is o threat TO States rights and

and the institute has made public an
opinion by Newton D. Baker and
James M. Beck that T. v. A. is un-
constitutional.
McCarter, in yesterdays statement,
said he did not come in any spirit

anxiety over the grave crisis which
now confronts this industry.I
Raising the question whether 1t was
in the spirit Of American fair play
to single out" one industry and visit
destructive punishment on 1t, he
said the industry pays about Is per
cents Of its gross revenues in taxes
and that the electric bill of the aver
age family is not more than per cent
Of the budget.
Cooperation Pledged.
Acknowledging that in the "fren-
lied finance" days when "the entire
country lost its economic equilibrium
some abuses crept into holding COM
panies, he said they rarely involved
operating companies. He pledged the
industry to cooperate to end any
abuses found.
This memorial" McNinch an
swered, sis a confession of the abuses
Of the electric power industry and an
appeal against the efforts of the Gov
ernment TO correct these abuses"
Attacking McCarter's contention
that rates are reasonable, he said
Canadians pay, on an average, 2 lis
cents for kilowatt hour, while Amer
leans pay 5la cents. He said the
Canadian figures cover public and
private plants, the latter supplying
"46 per cent Of the consumers"
1T is the purpose of the admins
