 Brides are chosen not for their good looks, but for their teeth, said the general. "An Eskimo Wife's principal work is to chew frozen hides, so she must have good teeth.
 Her husbands boots freeze solid during the night and in the morning his wife has to chew his boots until he can get them on his feet. When old age creeps on she is given enough firewood and food for three days and left to freeze to death. The Eskimos do not mind this at all, as death this way is really pleasant"

|FARNSWORTH TO
 GET SENTENCE
Has Practically Admitted He Sold Navy Secrets
 to Japanese

Washington, Feb. 18.--(UP) --Sen- gational evidence intended to show that important U. s. naval secrets have been communicated to Japan was hidden away today because John Semar Farnsworth, cashiered former lieutenant commander, de- cided not to stand trial on an es- plonagc charge.
 Federal attorneys disclosed they had prepared testimony to show that between IS and 20 naval secrets had been transmitted to Japanese naval attaches.
 Farnsworth threw himself on the mercy of the court by entering 6 plea of "nolo contcndere." He tcch- nically did not admit guilt, but de- clincd to contest the governments charge. Maximum penalty is 20 years Imprisonment. A sentence is expected within 10 days.
 Navy Dept. Relieved
 The navy department was repre- scented as being relieved by the out come. Assistant District Attorney Samuel F. Beach said the evidence would have shown that Farnsworth had acquired for Japanese use de- tailed information on the operation of the U. S. s. Saratoga and the final trials of the U. S. 8. Ranger, both airplane carriers.
 The government intended to prove, he said, that the alleged con- spiracy involved the disclosure Of the firing pattern and the accuracy of fire of every American naval ves- scl which made vital changes in many points of navy operation im- peratiyc.
 demanded to Jail
 Farnsworth, his moustachc shaved and some of his composurc restored from the day last July when he was arrested in his former wifc's apartment. was renanded to fcd- eral jail to await the sentence of Justice James M. Proctor.
 Beach said that for practical pur- poses the plea was the equivalent of guilty" although Farnsworth had only chosen not to contest the gov ernments contention that he passed on information to Commander Oki- ra Yamaki before he returned to Japan months ago.

BIOGRAPHY OF
 GEORGE B. SHAW
Has Split Personality, Is Very Boastful-EgOism
 Also Characteristic

New Haven, Conn, Feb. l6.--(UP)
 George Bernard Shaw has "split personality" and his boastfulness and egoism is attributable to an in- fcriority complex, his biographcr, Archibald Henderson, declared in q Yale Bergen foundation lecture last night.
 Speaking on "Shaw at Eighty" Henderson, head of the University of North Carolina mathematics de- partmcnt, said:
 "There are two separate indlvid- ualistS in Shaw. One, the real man, George Bernard Shaw, shy, with an lnfcriority complex who expressed himself self-asSertedly as sort of defiance; the other a mannequin, a harlequin. names G.B.S., an artistic figment of his own imagination. His defiant cgoism is an Irish revolt against the British trait Of modesty and undcrstatemcnt. On this ac- count Americans have misundcr- stood and underestimatcd him, but while much American comment on him ig, therefore, worthless, Shaw has only himself to blame"
 Man of Consistency
 He labeled the famous writer al "A man Of extraordinary consist ency."
 Tt is this rare quality" he said which has kept him always pro- nounced 1ndividuallst despite his communism. He constantly bafflcA and cnrages his supporters. in va rious fields, by proving disloyal to them out of a deeper loyalty to himself
 "Shaw," he declared, should be given credit for two things of great importance and novelty. First as an innoyator in invcnting a drama of Ideas in which the leading thought currents of today are diverted on to the stage. Second, he has in- vented and made prevail throughout the world, in his own plays, a new type of drama, which he calls de- batting drama, in which stage char acterg violently clash and react. be- cause of sharply differing philos- ophie8 of life"

SUPREME COURT
 UNDER DEBATE
Henry J. Friendly, Secre- tary to Justice Brandeis,
 Meets Dean Clark
By JACK AMMAN fed PrcsN Staff COrreAnOndentl

Hartford, Conn, Feb 18.--(UP)-- Supreme Court Justice Louis Bran deis, eldest and considered most liberal" of the nine high court Jus- ticcs, was characterized today by a former secretary as firmly believing that q "reactionary" court in few years would heed the trend Of the times"
 Henry J. Friendly, New York, se- cretary to Justice Brandels in 1927 and 1928 and member Of the New York law firm headed by the late Ellhu Root, made this assertion in debate on the court with Dean Charles F. Clark of Yale Law School last night before distin- guishcd audience of Connecticut high court justices, lawyers and laymcn.
 Brandcis' statement, Friendly said, came after supreme court decision about 1928 which troubled the justice because 1t was "re- stricted."
 Quotes Justice Brandeis
 "A few years ago." Friendly quot cd Justice BrandeiB aS saying then, i've had liberal court. Now 1t is rcactionary. But in two or three years there will be q change and the court will be liberal again."
 Friendly brought this out to enl- phasize his opposition to President Roosevelt's supreme court reform program. He indicated the court would return to Q broader interpre- tation of legislation If we could only subdue our great American tendency to have everything in Q hurry"
 Emotion, Hysteria
 Dean Clark, member of the ad- visory committee to the supreme court on federal civil procedure. de- plorcd the method of the presidents proposals as forcing the issue to an over-great extreme" He said the emotion and hysteria" which has been aroused "g not conducive to a settlement"
 Approving an amendment to the Consultation ws1ich would. among other things, give clearer defini- ton of interstate commerce. Dean Clark said the situation is not go- ing to be helped if we cry someone has rified the arc Of the covenant The crisis has been developing for 20 or g years. This s Q congtitu- tional impaSse and organized gov- ernment must act"
 If we don't" he warned, "our children may work out Of 1t in 6 much harshcr way than we've dis ctugcd."
 Worry for Future
 Tt makes me worry for the future of the court" Clark siad, when 1t

says we must keep within the four corners of the Consultation and then says the problem before us is economies, which is not within the document. regret the circumstances which has led the court to be 8 legislative organ"
 "Tt is unfortunate" he said. but I have some fear the president has not taken enough note of the sen abilities of the people"
 Friendly took up the presidents recommendation bit by bit. "Thc entire history of the court shows 7 he said. that all that B needed to satisfy the desires is more skillfully drawn legislation" he accused At- torney General Homer Cummings of Hacking in complete candor and honesty in not stating all the facts" relating to the court in 6 letter to Mir. Roosevelt.
 Delays, IDefiiciencies
 "Delays and inefiiciencies, . Friendly said, do not exist now or in the reasonably immediate flu. ture. The presidents proposals ag- gravate rather than cure the pres- ent situation. It sets 6 precedent which may be repeated with possi- ble fatal consequences. His proposi- ton is one of the most gerioua threats to our liberties this genera ton has ever seen"
 Tn rebuttal, Clark said Friendly had failed to answer the question How to make the court keep ur with the trend of the times?" he said "the president has presented tho issue and we must face 1t now. Friendly, in reply, asked for q "concrcte' proposition on the part of MT. Roosevelt. We want to know where we're going" he said. T don't think the president's proposal fl honest or frank or helpful. We're simply signing blank check. He shows you that just over the river ii the land of hope mad promise. Ii you believe 1t, go over. I prefer te stay here"
