Called Dangerous
By S. (. G. Counsel
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClateu fIeSS
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Chester T
Lane, general counsel for the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
today described as extremely dan
gerous" the American Bar Associa-
tion's administrative law bill to re-
quire governmental agencies to pub
lish rules of procedure.
This bill is an attempt to regu-
late the works of a wrist watch by
using a mattock," Mr.. Lane told the
annual convention of the National
Lawyers Guild.
Guild officials said it was the first
speech by a Government official
against the measure approved by
the bar associations house OF dele
gates and introduced in the Senate
by Logan of Kentucky.
Mr.. Lane called it radical in the
worst sense of the word and in
part ''incomprehensible" and "un-
workable"
The Lawyers Guild has not taken
a stand on the plan to require gov
ernmental agencies which do quasi
judicial work to publish rules Of
procedure, with the rules and deci-
sions subject to appeal
Mr. Lane said that by requiring
an administrative official ito hold
public hearings before he can make
a decision of any kind, you aren't
making him any wiser, better or
more honest"
Advance announcement of rules,
with provision for hearings, might
be "the opening gun for a crack

Woman S Place Is in the Home,
Scys Mrs. CoIburn> Writer
Ex-Reporter Of 80s,
Visitor Here, Sees
Country as Safe

In the early sos, when woman's
place was in the home and ladies
rarely ventured out at night unes-
corted, a young woman could be
seen of a midnight scurrying down
the cobblestone pavement on the
gas-lighted edge of Chinatown.
With her voluminous skirts
clutched in both hands, she would
pause at a dark doorway and fly up
two steep flights of steps. She
would halt at the door until her
breath came evenly, then saunter
into the room as If wandering
around alone at night was the most
normal thing in the world.
That's how Mrs. Frona Wait Col
burn started her newspaper career
on the San Francisco Examiner.
Among the first women on the
West Coast to do newspaper work
"the way the men did" it took her
a year to invade the male sanctum
of the city room.
After that, she covered everything
from dog fights to international
conferences. And that was only
a difference in personnel she
smiled as she reviewed the 18 tenn
pestuous years she spent in news
paper work on a visit to Wash
ington.
Will Be 80 in August.
Tall and erect, Mrs. Colburn will
be 80 in August. She looks no more
than so. Her red hair has only a
hint of white at the temples, her
blue eyes sparkle with interest at
everything about her. Author of
six books, few poems. reams Of
editorials and news stories, she has
a 21-year-old grandson, lectures sew
eral times month up and down the
West Coast and runs her home

will return to California to CO..

Her saddest job was writing up

Hawaii. She had danced with him
a few nights before his death and

Mrs. Colburn's constant dread

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
Working on the Hull.

Before a single act takes place in
building a ship, men must plan it.
They spend months, even years,
talking over plans for large vessel
and drawing them. They must fig
ure out answers to such questions
as these: What load will the boat
carry? How wide and how long
shall it be? How fast will 1t go?
How can we guard against strains
on this part and that?"
Another important question is,
''IIow much money can we spend?"
The French superliner Normandle
cost $4,000, 900, which is quite a bit
of pocket money!
Great care is taken to make the
keel straight. Then ribs Of one kind
or another are fastened to the keel.
Tie old, time tested way is to set
the ribs close together, not more
than feet apart, sometimes only a
foot and a half apart.
In another plan of building, the
Isnerwood system is used. Ribs are
placed 10 or IL feet apart and are
fastened to one another with strips
of steel. This system was devised
by :. Sir Joseph sherwood and is
commonly followed for some kinds
of vessels, especially oil tankers.
Modern ocean liners have steel
sheus. These are built up with
metal plates which are riveted to-
rether. The shell is not likely to
