Family Reunions

The country home seems
to be the ideal place for fam
lily reunions and various cou-
sins, uncles and aunts are WIS.,
iting from time to time. Mrs.
Chamberlain has with her,
her very charming mother,
Mrs. Winter, who is the
widow of General Frank Win
ter. In her girlhood, Mrs.
Chamberlain attended Wash
ington schools when her IA
Their was stationed in the Cap
ital, and so has a host Of
friends here.
Her first novel, entitled
eve Inheritors," is a story
embodying the history of
Texas, where the authoress
has lived since 1922, and
the scene is laid in a nebu-
lous city-which might be
Houston-and opens in the
period just before the Civil
War.
The theme Of the story is the
pattern of a dollar dynasty set
forth against a background that
presents a panorama of the in.
dustrial, commercial and agri-
cultural progress of the State.
The central figure is composite
Of the outstanding personalities
whose lives had so great a part
in the transition of Texas as a
nation into Texas as a State
that they present a picture

New Book on Way
The Chamberlain family Is
due to return to their George
town residence about the time
school reopens but in the mean
time Mrs. Chamberlain, whose
Southern drawl is a delight to
hear, is working on another
novel.
This one Is to be about Vir-
ginia, encompassing the period
between 1907 and 1887, and will
be founded largely on a packet
Of old letters which she I'M
earthed in this ancestral Vir-
ginia home of hers. From them
she has taken certain phrase
ology, some color, and a great
number of incidents.
During a recent trip to Texas
where she was the guest of Mrs.
Richard M. Kleberg, wife of the
Representative of the Lone Star
State, Mrs. Chamberlain indus
triously went over the final
proofs of I'VE InheritorS" and
she confesses that she thinks the

publishing house, is far better
than any she had thought of, so

George, in hopes that this time he
will get there!
DRETTY Mary Murphy and
L stately Ruth Dove have
originated a new manner in
which to utilize table cloths.
The other night on the Roof Of
the Powhatan both girls became
uncomfortably aware of the
breeze. AS neither Of them had
worn wraps, there was nothing
they could do but complain a
trifle, sit there and eventually.
so they thought, freeze to death.
Finally Mary spied gay apple
green table cloth, not in use.
and asked the waiter if he could
bring her two of them. He could
and did. Promptly Mary
draped one about her shoulders.
the other around Ruth, tied
them tightly under their chinS
with saucy bows-and a new
and becoming style was born.
Any mother reading this might
possibly know where to look for
any colored table cloths she
happens to have-they will be
on the back of her daughter.

MRS. EUGENE SYKES, wife
W1 of Judge Sykes, is very.

the manner in which she got it.
1t seems that the son Of the
Sykes family, young Charlie
Scott Sykes, motored, with his
pretty bride, down from New
York to spend the last weekend
here. He and Mrs. Sykes were
surprised to find that, unknown
to each other, they had identical
cars-both were Packards. Only
the car owned by Charlie
boosted a radio-Mrs. Sykes did
not. However, just before Char.
lie returned to New York, his
mother stepped into her car and
discovered that a new and shin
ing radio was there and waiting
for her to operate it. It seems
that Charlie had taken the radio
from his own car and had in
stalled it in his mothers. And
she is about the most pleased
person in town.

aid economic research, which he
will endow personally has just
been announced by Alfred P.

Motors Corporation.
Incorporated July 6. 1886, in
Delaware, as a nonprofit mem

ton, according to Harold Sloan,
brother of the G. M. head, who
has been named executive di-
rector, will not set up its own

LEWIS BACKED
IN 0NE-UNI0N
PROPOSAL

NEW YORK, March l Q.N.So
One. big union for steel workers
as urged by John L. Lewis and MS
Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, was recommended in a re-
port published here today by the
bureau of business research OF the
University of Pittsburgh.
Predicting bitter labor struggles
over the right to organize, the re-
port also urged an impartial in
vestigation of the entire steel in
dustry by the Government.
The inquiry would be conducted
by a non-political, fact-finding Fed
eral commission empowered to
hold public hearings and summon
witnesses. This commission would
recommend to Congress whether
the industry should be left in pri-
Vate hands or subjected to Gov
ernment regulation, competition or
ownership.
The findings, under the title of
''The Economics of the Iron and
Steel Industry" are the results of
three years research. Preparation
Of the report was supervised by
Ralph L. Watkins, director of the
bureau of business research.
It's authors are Prof. Carl R.
Daugherty, of hte University of
Pittsburgh; DR.. Melvin G.. De Cha
1eau, of the University of Virginia,
and DR.. Samuel S. Stratton, of the
graduate school of business admin
iStration, of Harvard University.

reduced, (2) protective coating over
stomach walls prevents irritation, pro-
notes healing, (3) elimination aided,

endeavors to do. If you suffer from
stomach ulcers, gastritis, gas pains,
heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia, con-

the Toma Tablet course, as 1t is
