about the various departments. He
carried box of snuff in one hand
and a batch of CROSSWORD puzzles
clipped from the newspapers in the
other, and between playing with the
little box and filling in the blanks in
the puzzles he passed eight hou each
day
The Monday following Henrys ap-
pearance Tom received call from Mr..
Baker, chairman of the City Council,
asking that he call upon that dignitary
at o'clock the next afternoon. The
request was an unusual one and caused
Tom considerable worry. He realized
that efficiency in the shops could be
| improved, but he hadn't bee! able to
find a practical way to improve it.
The men were political appointees for
the most part and not keenly inter-
ested in their work. At the same time
it was his job to make the shop pro-
duce its full capacity, and although
he had been doing his best he antici-
pated reprisals on the grounds that
| conditions should have been better.
The next afternoon at the appoint
ed hour Tom walked into the Offices OF
Chairman Baker.
Hello, Mr.. Gibbons" said Mr.
Baker, looking up from large, glass
topped desk will you take chair for
| just moment? I have a report here
that I want to look over with you"

statement. He sat down uneasily
watching Baker runmaging through a
sheaf of papers on the desk, and i'm
patiently waited for further explana-
| tion.
Il understand you have some new
help out at the shop, Mr.. Gibbons"
Baker finally said, settling back in
his cushioned chair and holding sew
eral documents in his hand rs that
true? A rather elderly gentleman,
believer"
Tom looked at the council chair
man for a moment in silence. He
thought of old Henry and wondered
how in the world putting him on the
pay roll could have caused all this
trouble. If Mary had only-he didn't
finish the thought. He had hired the
old fool and he'd stand up for him.
There was no other way
Eyes, SIR" Tom answered. Henry
Carroll is his name Put him on last
| week"
"Uh, ye-es, I believe that was the
name. An efficiency expert. Carries
little camera with him and snaps pic
lures of the men and takes notes, and
that sort of thing. Good idea, too.
Keeps 'em on their toes, you know"
Tom started to speak, then sat back
limp and feeling slightly dizzy.
An excellent idea, Mr.. Gibbons"
Mr.. Baker continued, Just the kind
of thing I'd expect OF you I mentioned
it to the council yesterday and it was
highly commended. The only question
is in regard to his salary. What have
you done about that, Mr.. Gibbons?"
Why, he's on the regular pay roll at
present, Mr.. Baker" Tom replied. II
thought I'd take the question up with
the council at its next meeting, If
that's agreeable to you"
"Ah, quite, Mr.. Gibbons" said the
chairman of the City Council. Very
nicely handled. I congratulate you"

SENATE HITS NICE
IN POLICE REPORT
Wright and Katz Also Criti-

Printing Findings.
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, March 17.-Critics of
the State Police Department will face
another Senate fight Friday when
they attempt to have a report con-
tanning adverse criticism of Gov. Harry
w. Nice, J. Purdon Wright, Nices ad-
wiser, and Sergt. Menash Katz, his
aide. printed in the Legislature Record.
The report was submitted, after a
fight on the floor of the Senate, yes
terday by Senators Wilmer F. Davis,
Republican, of Caroline; Robert v.
Cooksey, Republican, of Charles. and
John D. C. Duncan, Democratic, of
Baltimore County.
Senators John G. Callan, Democrat,
second, Baltimore, and George Hoffer-
bert, Democrat, first, Baltimore, OBJ
jected to the journalization of the re-
port and succeeded in getting the dis

Davis won the right to continue
reading his report after taking an
appeal to the floor of the Senate. The
vote was 16 to 10 in his favor.
The committee report recommended
that Sergt. Katz be permanently de-
noted" and ordered to return to

1t continued by saying that the fact
that the Governor had not immedi-
ately ordered Katz's return to duty

told him it probably couldn't be done
did think, though, that it might be
all right for just few weeks. He
hasn't dime, you know"
And if he did he wouldn't have 1t
long" Tommy added, and then, soft
ening up as he always did when Mary
was involved, he said: Send him down
in the morning, hon. Maybe We can
find something for him."
Mary looked at her handsome young
husband and smiled. In his position
Of superintendent at the city shops he
was tough as nails. She had heard re-
ports of his strict discipline, his un-
sWerving determination in matters of
policy and she enjoyed the thrill OF
having him give in to her.
Tom looked at his young wife and
smiled He knew he shouldn't do
everything she asked, and yet he -
ways did. Shed have been just as
happy, would have loved him just as
much if he had insisted in his own
behalf, but with her hair and eyes, the
line of her throat, and everything
else about her conspiring to make her
the prettiest blondest, most alluring
girl he had ever known, the only
things that seemed worth while were
those that pleased her.
TOMS secretary stepped into his
Office next morning. a little after
10, and announced that there was a
gentleman to see him.
AN old man. Just said to tell you
Hank is here" she said.
oh yes" said Tom. Kind of early
In the morning for Uncle Henry. Show
him in"
A short. wiry little gray-haired man
shuff1ed through the door, hat in hand
and while he looked as if he might
have been taken from the city dump,
he all but radiated contentment.
Hello there, Thomas" he said
cheerily, waving his hat as if Thomas
had been several blocks away. Mary
tells me you need some help down
here. Says I ought to pitch in for a
few days, see what can do"
We'll, say Hank" replied Tom,
that's mighty decent Of you. We can
use a good man around here. What
can you do? Know anything about
engines?"
No, Thomas, can't say that do"
How about electric wiring?"
"Nooo-o, I'm afraid not, Thomas"
Are you any good" said Tom patti
emily, "at figures?"
HENRY thought about this for a
minute Then he looked up rather
brightly and walked over to Toms
desk
I'D hate to get your books balled
up, Thomas" he said. I'll tell you
what, though. You just let me go out
there in the shop and I'll manage to
keep myself busy"
All right, Henry" said Tom hesi-
tatingly. Maybe Fitzgerald can help
you find something to do. He's the
foreman out there You might wander
over to his office and see what he has
to say"
Tom watched the old man shuttle out
Of the room. He didn't expect en-
thusiasrn from Henry, but he felt
. little disappointed at his having

resulted to the Governor from his hav.
ing taken advice from and consulted
with Katz, the report said.
Further, the report said, the COM
mittee found that II the Governor had
offered the job as permenent superin-
tendent OF police, Wright would have
accepted and that in consequence Of
his not being rendered the post he
had interfered in departmental affairs
entirely too much, to the detriment Of
the police work.

tween on adjuster and Q member ot the Bar. .'..''.
 Prank and honest discussion of all the facts involved will be 0 great impetus of settlement and, even fl there is no settlement, will lay the basis for litigation that at least will be ethically conducted. The taking of statements from claimants while still suffering from the effects of their injuries and constant criticism cast ct members of the Bar get no- where. Far from being helpful they are actually harmful and cre- ate q spirit of antagonism that the company itself would be the last to wish for Promptness, consistent with the medical progress of the claimant, should be e primary rule in adjustments. Then too, while there may be no legal obligation on Q company representative to ac. quaint the claimant with his legal rights, still If the claimant is 0 per- son not conversant with our laws, there is in my opinion @ moral ob- Ngation on the adjuster to make known such information, so that his silence will not lull the claimant into such Q sense of security until his legal rights may lapse.
 "In other words 1t is still true that Q claim department may be on asset or Q liability and the purpose of the adjuSterS licensing law Is evidently to keep the claim depart rlent aS an asset"

state Commissioner

State Commissioner
 fairly said that the handling of cases arising out of automobile covcrage and owners and landlord and tenant policies was particularly aimed at.
 License
 "The new law provides that no person shall act as an adjuster for an insurance company claims un- less that person shall have first se- cured license from the commits sioner with Q fee of $500). Rules and regulations can be laid down by the commissioner, penalty Is pro- vided for violation and the law does not apply to member of the bar who is engaged in general practice.
 Without attempting to define to a nicety just what the field Ut casualty adjusting covers, the De- partment has ruled that all personal injury claims arising out of auto mobile coverage, owners, landlord and tenant policies, workmen's corn- pensation and master and servant policies, accident policies and all personal injury or death cases aris- ing out of any policies protecting an assured under common law or statutory obligation are included, In those cases where fire companies have coverageS on property against property damage, which might be construed as casualty coverage, the adjuster need not be licensed if he is already licensed as an agent for a fire company and provided further that his authority does not exceed $100.00. While this is a somewhat arbitrary regulation it nevertheless fits in with the custom in the trade.
 Claim Department
 "I sometimes feel that sufficient importance is not attached to the workings of claim department of a large company. It is true that as a rule their policies protect or in- demnify in accordance with the legal liability of the assured. The right reserved to the company to com promise claim (which right is spe- officially kept from the assiired) indicates that the carrier after sur veying all the circumstances of . claim may wish to settle it even though the carrier has . feeling that there might be no legal liabil- ity under the circumstances. Inc settling of casualty claims should d no time be Q battle Of wits between an adiusteg and a claimant Or be.

STRAND

Movie fans who were drawn to the Warner Strand theater yester- day by the announcement of Samuel Goldwyns Stella Dallas" as the premiere attraction, came away thor oughly satisfied. that they had seen the most compelling motion picture production since the silent version of the same picture took the country by storm. some 12 years ago.
 For sheer dramatic intensity Stella Dallas" has rarely been ap- preached. And the artistry of Bar bara Stanwyck's performance in the title role definitely places her in. the top brackets of the screens greatest actresses. z
 John Boles Is splendid as stephen Dallas, the husband. whose sensi- tive and cultured personality is out of key with the gaudy flamboyance of his wife Anne Shirley is perfectly cast as the daughter, and Alan Hale contributes a leaven- ing of lusty humor as the roister- ing Ed Mum, for whose friend- ship Stella Dallas wrecks her home and life. ....
 The companion feature is Dance Charlie Dance" a high-powered farce. comedy with grand cast of funmakers including Stuart Erwin, Jean Muir, Glenda Farrell and Allen Jenkins. .....

 As the ship will carry fewer passengers than originaly plan- ned and as helium costs good deal more than hydrogen, the fares will have to be raised ace cordingly. Another item of cost Is the transport of the heliuin. It will have to be shipped by rail from Amarillo, Tex, to Houston, where c number of small ships will have to take their precious load to Ger many. It is now expected that the I,Z 130 will be ready for It's test flights next spring.

The Scheme Works

The Iowa City Power & Light Company's suit to invalidate @ PWA loan-grant for & municipal power plant was dropped the other day because the city had decided 1t didn't want the plant. PWA thinks 1t can explain the change of mind. After 1t made & half-million dollar allotment in 1935, the power com pany. besides blocking the project through court action, announced a rate cut but impounded the result ant savings in accounts for each customers with the announcement that the reduction would be retro- active and effective only if the city decided to have no public plant.
 The money mounted up to $72,- 900 and the average electricity user found he had $25 or more in his special account. The company kept reminding with each monthly bill and urging customers to agitate for their money. The scheme worked.

Geneva Labor Office Finds Unemploymentin in U. s.
 Up 10 Per Cent
BY WALLACE CARROLL Limited Press Stan Correspondent


 Geneva, Oct. 14 - (UP) = The wheels of industry are rapidly ab- sorbing the majority of the unem- ployed in virtually all countries, This was revealed in the unem- ployment statistics compiled by the International Labor Oflce for the third quarter of 1887.
 Tn 13 countries, there are more people employed now than there were in the hey-day era of 1929, Using the 1929 compilations as a yardstick, the Union of South Africa has 1927 per cent; Estonia has 149.4; Denmark, 1863; Fin land, ll5.5; Yugoslavia, HAS; Great Britain, ll3,2; Hungary, 107.2: Italy, l06.l; Norway, l07.0; Canada, l00.7: Japan, l278; Sweden, 1893, and Latvia, ll6.8.
 U. S. Gain 10 Per Cent
 The United States shows Q 10 per cent gain over 1886 with mark of 07.l. The percentages for the re- maining countries include: Bel- gium, oee; Poland, 01.l: France, 80,7: The Netherlands, 8l,4; Swit- EeTlhI1Q, t0U, hE1Q LuXeHpurB, to.2. Tn comparison with l936, the statistics reveal that unemployment declined in ell countries with the exception of three-Denmark, Fin- land and Yugoslavia.
 Tn making public the statistics, officials of the International Labor Offlce cautioned that since the method of compiling them varies from country to country, they can only be treated as showing the trends of employment and unem- ployment and not as accurate measurements.
 Two Quarters Compared
 The figures given for the various countries, as compared with those for the corresponding quarter of 1886 are as follows:
