employer shot and killed his house
keepers prospective bridegroom today
and offered the explanation that he
lust had to do it"
The bullet-riddled body Of Pierce

SOUTH'S FORESTS

Research Giving Greater
Economic Value to Tim
ber Tracts.
BY the Associated Press.

Gerald D. Cook, chief of the Forest
Services timberland division, predicted
yesterday rapid development of the
Souths forest products industries as
result of new chemical research.
Mr.. Cook urged the South, however,
to improve it's forest culture practices
to conserve timber supply for such de-
velopment.
He said he believed Southern pine
would produce newsprint and provide
a new field of activity for paper mills.
THE chemists have been doing won-
derful things in wood research" he
said. IT have no doubt newsprint will
be made in the South, and fine results
have been obtained in the search for
processes for manufacturing wood
rayon, plastics and other products.
Sees Further Success.
Mr.. Cook expressed the opinion a
method he said had been devised by
DR.. Charles H. Herty, Atlanta research
CHEMIST, 10 HldlluldCtuit IltWSplult ny
a sulfite method would prove prac-
ticable.
The timberland division chief said
four new paper mills and one plant
to make rayon from wood have been
located in the South during the last
year. These, he said. indicated steady
increase in the number of by-product
plants.
Paper Mills in 13 States.
Paper mills have been constructed
in Alabama, Arkansas. Florida,

sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina.

O'CONOR UPHOLDS
/ CIVIL SERVICE LAW
Montgomery Merit System
Effective Now, Suit An
SWer Declares.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SLecial Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. 30.-The
validity of the law creating a civil
service system for Montgomery County
was upheld today in an answer filed
to the taxpayers suit brought in Cir
cult Court in an effort to restrain
State Employment Commissioner
Harry c. Jones from putting the new
system into operation.
Attorney General Herbert r.
O'Conor and Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Charles G.. Te Viness filed the
answer in Jones behalf and SUBJ
mitted with it petition asking that
arguments on the answer be heard
in open court.
in their answer that the engrossed
bill providing for the new merit
system of appointment to county
positions was validly passed by the
State Legislature to take effect in 1897,
not 1899, as contended in the suit.
Says Law in Force.
Having been duly approved by Gov.
Harry w. Nice, they added, the law
is now in full force and effect and
the new system of appointments should
be carried out Immediately.
The suit was brought in Circuit
Court several weeks ago by Frederick
w. Paige and Frank /. Davis, employees
in the county treasurer's Office, and
Henry ]. Hunt, Sd, an employe in the
county auditors Office. They repre-
sent all three of the county's polit-
ical factions.
1t was contended in the suit that
members of the Legislature from
Montgomery County originally intro
duced the bill to take effect in 1887,
but later amended it to read 1899
merely by striking out all the ITS" in
the bill and inserting "9s" in ink.
Nice Ordered Change.
Affidavits declaring they were ad-
vised that they could amend the bill
in that fashion were signed by several
members of the county delegation in
the Legislature and were submitted
along with the suit.
1t was when Gov. Nice was pre-
sented with the bill for his signature
that he noticed the bill had been
altered with ink and he ordered that
the law be printed up in its original
form without the change to 1899.
Thus it was that preparations were
being made to put the system into
effect this year when the suit was filed
to restrain State Employment Com
missioner Jones plans to that end.

Wmdsors' Visit Puts Society
On a Bit of a Spot, by Jore
Big.Wigs a Little Put Out (Of the
Record) With Ex-Kmg for
Leaving Throne.

Society won't say so openly. but It
feels the one-time bachelor king who
| went benedict after a coast-to coast
round-the- world hook-up has been
| fraternizing with ideas and individuals
on which society has always more OF
less frowned.
Society, being exceptionally per-
| nickety and feeling that one must
| draw line somewhere, is discouraged
about the Dukes open mingling with
the hoi polloi 1t hears that he goes
right down into coal mines and into
factories and exchanges banter with
toilers who actually have never been
presented at court.
This, the social bluebloods say, is
extrawn'ry. to say the least. 1t is
jolly to sing of the workingman as q
phase of how the other half lives,
but to go to him and seek advice on
working and living conditions is
hardly cricket.
To make society squirm all the more,
the word keeps going around that
among those with whom the Duke
will discourse is John L. Lewis. head
of c. I. O., which is definitely not
F. F. ".
Revolve Around Duke.
In conversation with the socially
we'll informed, your correspondent
was not unconscious Of the fact that
the social phases of the Dukes visit
revolve around the Duke rather than
the Duchess.
The mere fact that a young man
gave up q throne to take her for wife
does not register as tenderly with
society as it did with the shopgirls.
Society feels that romance is all right
in its place, but that thrones are not
to be lightly cast aside.
There is an under-current of un-
easiness. the correspondent gathered.
due to fear that the actual arrival
of the Duke and Duchess and the
very fact of their presence here may
take the play right away from So
ciety. Society suspects that the Duke
doesn't give hoot about the finer
things of life-smart luncheons in
the gold room, an afternoon of tea
and crllmpets with Mrs. Vandervan
der Vandervan, and maybe bit of a
ball at one of the swankier estates.
Society fears there is a chance that
the Duke may actually show a pref
erence for mingling with the masses
and that the masses may actually en-
Joy exchanging pleasantries with the
Duke. In that case, of course, all
from social viewpoint-wi be lost;
and society will go to Florida for the
winter.
Society hopes the Duke and Duchess
won't mind too much.

BY DALE HARRISON,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Your cor
respondent made inquiry today in cer-
tain super colossal, ultra-uppity social
circles to learn what society is going
to do about the Duke and Duchess of
Windor, come Michaelmass and there
abouts.
For answer he got load of lifted
lorgnettes and flock of "I-beg your
pardons."
Society. grade A. although not
what it was in the good old carriage
days, is nonetheless conscious that the
world is waiting for sign from it.
Society recalls with a catch in its
throat those historic words of the
dying Charles u-"Take good care of
little Nell'-and stands ready to do
as much for the Duke.
Off the record, however, it is a
little put out with the Duke for alb
dicating, for an axiom of society is:
When you get up there, stay up there
or quit ringing my door bell.
Neither the Duke nor society is will
ing to be quoted.
Issue Is Too Tender.
The issue obviously is too tender. 1t
wouldn't make much difference with
the price of wheat, but 1t could easily
upset an entire seasons schedule OF
afternoon teas.
Perhaps the Duke and Duchess
themselves, rather than New York So
ciety, will answer the social question
by steering their paths on wide de-
tour. Nancy Randolph, who writes
of society for the New York Daily
News, advises society to cease quiver-
ing and adds:
Former playmates of the Duke in
New York and other cities are not apt
to be called on to jeopardize their
priced social prestige in London
where his royal highness and her
grace are pariah-by playing host
There is reason to believe the Duke
will avoid any contacts I" which
might cast doubt on the seriousness
of his visit to America"
On the Dukes last visit-he was the
Prince of Wales then, and that makes
difference-he showed no enthusi-
asm for top-flight social maneuvers.
Democracy was the keynote-Hyuh,
Joe, old bean, all hail the jolly old
workingman.
Smaller Big League.
As heir to the throne of England,
the Prince was definitely big league.
Returning here next month as Duke,
he will be accepted as still big league,
but sort of ST. Louis Browns or Brook
lyn Dodgers.
