Peeved at Jesse Jones

New Dealers who have Zealously striVen to discourage exorbitant corporation salaries are sorer than ever at Chairman Jesse Jones of REC now that it's revealed that he made Walter J. Cummings, treasur- CT of the democratic national com- mittee, chairman of the Continen- tai Illinois Bank and Trust Com pany and 8 trustee of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad at combined salaries of $o0,000 8 year.
 Cummings Is a director of other companies. Independent bondhold- CTS of the St. Paul complained that he would be too busy handling in- tricate problems of a $750, ,000, ,000 bank to give the railroad adequate attention If appointed trustee.
 They also objected to another trustee recommended by Jones, Henry A. Scandrett, former St. Paul president and director of Continental Trust.
 If you check the files of the In- terstate Commerce Commission, which said 1t considered the 0b- jectionS. you will find one of the most curious phases of the inci- dent in the report of Commission CTS Meyer. Porter, and Mahaffie, which, after mentioning the con- tention that Cummings wouldn't have time for the job of "inde- pendent trustee" of the St. Paul, cOntinued:
 q. and it Is further suggested that his alleged friendliness with Scandrett, through their banking association, will tend to prevent his Investigating Scandrett's man. agement of the road. The latter consideration is, in our opinion, without merit.
 "As to the other, 1t is reasonable to assume that a man of Cum mings' standing and experience would not undertake the important office in question unless he were prepared to give 1t proper atten- tion."

and the house seemed strangely calm after the excitement of the night. Gradually streakS of dawn began to appear above the still- dark pine-wooded hills.
 Temporary headquarters were are ranged for Nurse Kennedy. Dr. Luke prepared to go back to town for e few hours sleep, needed medi- cal suplies, and to make arrange ments for nurses and neighbors to come in and relieve the faithful Nurse Kennedy. It was just be- ginning to be light enough to see without 6 lantern when Dr. Luke issued his final instructions to the nurse, carefully closed the door and climbed into his car for the trip back to town.
 Asa Wyatt returned with the sun. He crept unobtrusively into the house, and sat quietly in the corner.
 'How's Mama?" he ventured, ct last, to Nurse Kennedy.
 On her assurance, Asa cautiously drew the curtains of the little al- cove and entered, to sit by the bed- side where lay his wife. Softly, conl- miserating sounds came to the nurse as the couple discussed in awed tones the miracle which they had seen and of which they had been part.
 Then Asa emerged, and without c word put on his cap and set out from the little house. He felt that he had one more duty to per- form.
 In Moosetown, 6 birth is moi really official until 1t is duly chronicled in the columns of the Weekly Tribune at North Bay Once Q year for the last six years Asa had called the Tribune ofiice with Q birth notice. So this time he knew exactly what to do. Walk ing to the house of q neighbor, dis- tinguished in his possession of . telephone, Asa laboriously crankeo the clumsy wall mechanism and called the number of the Tribune The editor was already on the job and answered the phone himself.

DEVICE TO WARN
 OF MINE PERILS
Instrument Being Tested Which Will Save Many
 Lives If Successful

State College, Pa.-(U.P) = Coal miners, working thousands of feet beneath the earth's surface. would be warned far in advance of cave-irs if an instrument, resembling in many respects the seismograph, measures up to expectations of re- search workers at Pennsylvania State College.
 Dr. Helmut Landsburg, professor of geophysics. is directing work on the highly sensitive instrument, ex- pected to be one of the most useful of its kind developed for the nin- ing industry in recent years. The instrument, although not completed, has been tested successfully in Q number of mine operations through out the state. It records even the most minute earth movements and predicts slides and cave-ins as long as 10 days in advance, research workers say.
 Professor Harry Northrup, direc- tor of the extension service at the college, outlined briefly how, when perfected. the instrument works. He said:
 Placed in the mine with im- movable end on the floor and the other end against the ceiling, the instrument. unbelievably simple in operation, records the rate cf subsistence.
 When the rate speeds up sud- denly, . needle pencils this move ment of the earths crust on a a. hour revolving cylinder, and ex- animation shows a. fall or cave-ir will occur in Q short time"
 The device consists chiefly oi two "telescopic" pipes mounted with 6 spring and an automatic re. corder which detects the unnatura earth movements. warning the un. derground workers of an approach ing disaster.
 Cave-ins have been responsible for Q number of major dlaassefI throughout the Keystone gtatel mine areas. trapping miners with out . chance to escape. The cave ing give little warning other thar q rumble about q half minute be' fore the slide comes. Then ' nsualiy is too late for men woFklni in the area to rush to an opening.

DIR. JOHN LUKE, country dOc- tor in the little north woods Set- clement of MOosctOwn, goes to Montreal tO appeal to company officials to give MOOsetown hos pital.
 His nephew, TONY, who flew to Moosetown with antitOxin during . diphtheria epidemic, remains there, much interested in MARY MACKENZIE, daughter of the lumber company manager. The two admit their love for each oth- CT but MACKENZIE, determined to end the romance, forces Tony into . fight, later Obllges him to leave MOOset0wn.
 In Montreal pr. Luke's appeal is refused. He returns to Moose town, learns young DIR. WILSON has been sent to replace him. It Is discovered that Dr. Luke has never received . license to prac- tIce and he Is threatened with ar- rest.
 There seems nothing t0 do but leave. Dr. Luke goes to the boat, about to depart, when ASA WY ATT appears, begging the doctor to come to his home.
 Dr. Luke goes. Instead of one baby, five are born.
 CHAPTER XII
 As Wyatt stood like Q man sud- denly stricken dumb. He struggled to speak, but words dropped halt ingly from his frozen lips.
 "You-sure--there -- ain't -- any more?"
 This mortified suggestion broke the tension for Dr. Luke. He chuckled as he replied, That's all. Asa-positively!"
 Wyatt was still stunned, like a man who has just received Q physi- cal blow. But what'll I--do? ] had six--now I got elevenl What1l my friends say?" he murmured miserably.

 Constable ogden cleared his throat. He was remembering his duty, the thing he hated, but had to do.

Cardozo Enjoys "Hunches"

Supreme Court Justice Cardozo derives amusement from reading journalistic deductions as to the courts secret discussions and maneuverings.
 He was reminding a friend the other day how dopesters had re- ported that Chief Justice Hughes had delayed reading the majority opinion on the hot oil case until after lunch, marking time with transaction of minor business meanwhile, in order not to cause commotion in the stock market.
 Hughes simply has a great aver- sion, when in the middle of an opinion, to calling time out for lunch at the traditional hour of 2. So If he sees he can't finish before lunch, he waits until afterward to start.
