w YHEN Edward Sheldon, the
M playwright, became a help
v " less invalid, unable to see
or move, confined to his
bed for many years, his tragic misfor-
tune did not end or even interrupt his
career. He dictated his plays, and
they have been repeated and con-
tlnuing successes. He draws his old
friends to him and makes new friends.
They bring a changing world to his
alert and eager comprehension. His
mind has become increasingly en-
riched and creative in the years of
silence and immurement.
A New York special master Of dam
ages recommends the payment of
$587, ,604.37 to Mr.. Sheldon and his
collaboration, Margaret Aver Barnes, in
their suit for alleged plagiarism of their
play, "Dishonored Lady" against
Metro Goldwyn Pictures Corp. Judge
John c. Knox of the United States
District Court, previously had sustained
them and had assigned the special
master to determine the damages.
Mr.. Sheldon had written three Of
his fifteen plays before his sudden
affiiction. While he has fulfilled his
career from sick bed, Mrs. Barnes
discovered hers in the same way. In
1925 she was perilously injured in
an automobile accident in france, suf-
fering a broken back and fractured
skull. She had never thought of
writing. In the hospital, with much
OF her body encased in plaster, she
began short story. The cast around
her chest made support for her
paper.
After her recovery, she returned to
America, sold the story, photographed
the check and wrote and sold others.
In 1891, she was awarded the Pulitzer
Prize for her novel, Years of Grace"
She is native of Chicago. the wife of
Cecil Barnes, lawyer Of that citv,,an
alumna Of Bryn Mawr and the mother
OF three grown sons.
Mr.. Sheldon was born in Chicago
in 1854 and was graduated from Har-
ward in 1907. His first three plays,
still remembered, were Salvation
Nell, The Niger" and Romance"
all written nearly 25 years ago.

The two young women have no

objections to the whole process in
so far as I am an employer. I should

employer should be graduated, so that
If he pays very low wage he ought
to bear all or most Of the burden OF
insurance. because obviously people
on very low wages ought not to be
forced to save for 65 what they need
for food today, and If he pays a very
| high wage he ought to bear little or
none of the burden, since the recipient
should look out for himself AS the
tax is at present it seems to me to
put a premium on low wages and a
premium ON employing a machine
instead of a human being.
And I do object to having to use

The young woman who makes out
