Ice Sculptures Handles
Pieces Up to 300 Pounds

BOSTON. - There's one woman
who is cool even on TIE hottest sum-
mer days. She's Miss Madaline
Stone, Boston's only ice sculptress,
who fashions such diverse items as
punch bowls, vases, tanks, battle
ships, aircraft carriers and guns
from chunks of ice weighing up to
800 pounds.
Miss Stone works in a studio"
with the thermometer registering q
degrees. She spends hours laboring
over huge cake Of ice, chiseling
away bits of ice to form the intri-
cate parts of her creations, which
are used as table decorations, and
which last only about eight hours.
She works for a Boston ice firm
and learned the art of ice sculpture
from John Bellin-fante When Bel
lin-fante joined the army, Miss
Stone took over his job.
Despite the chilly atmosphere of
her workshop. Miss Stone said she
takes her vacation at Maine beach
to "cool off,"

Courts Kept Busy
By Mas Pay Check
Such Tales Are Now Told by
Men Seeking Divorce.

KANSAS CITY. = swell, mama
makes good money but she blows
it all on beauty shops, clothes and
saloons ="
That's 1912 style divorce court
testimony.
For it's the man who brings such
tales to court nowadays as often
as it is the woman, says Edward
Setter, commissioner Of social serv-
ice for the city welfare department.
Husband as well as wife often al
leges nonsupport And the little
woman, too, is not so willing to lis
ten to back talk from her husband
when she's getting her own pay en-
velope, Setter indicates.
1t all adds up to more divorces,
he signs.
Court records agree with him.
Thus far this year 1896 divorce
suits have been filed, l58 more than
in the same period year ago. And
1858 have been granted, 247 more
than the l941 total to this date.
It's the war. many lawyers agree.
''The little woman's paycheck
sometimes is very disturbing in
fluence indeed" comments Michael
D. Konomos, Greek immigrant,
whose boyhood shoe-shining career
paved the way to his law school
education.
The glamor of a uniform is an
other big reason for the increase in
divorce. suits, he explains. Wives
compare civilian husbands with
members of the armed forceS-all
to the marked disadvantage of the
husbands.
Another attorney, Grover Chill
ders, says wartime prosperity is af-
fecting men just as much as women.
Some of the men like liquor and
company of other women better
than they do their homes.
Maybe in the past they sat at
home because they couldn't afford
to step out"

Foe Wages Deadly
Type of Warfare
In United States
FBl Hunts Secret Enemies
Who Plant Bombs; Long
List of Blasts.

WASHlNGTON.-W a dyn.-
mite bomb was exploded outside the
British war relief society in Boston )
Back Bay recently, it called officia
attentlah anew to a deadly type o.
warfare being waged within the
United States. BY chance, the BoS-
ton bomb caused no casualties. But
the toll of other bombings through
cut the country has been far more
tragic and disastrous.
Only few weeks ago, the Bur
ilngton railroads streamlined Den
yer Zephyr came near being wrecked
by a dynamite bomb as it sped
across Iowa at 80 miles an hour
BY near-miracle, the train stayed
on the rails, and the 1877 passengers
escaped injury A derailment,
which was what the dynamiter had
planned. would have inevitably
caused a heavy loss of life.
Even before the United States en-
tered the war, anti-British bomberS
had begun their work with suit
case bomb, planted in the British
pavilion at the New York Worlds
fair, and set to explode on the
Fourth of July.
Two Police Killed.
1t did explode on the Fourth, kill
ing two policemen who were convey
ing it to safety, and injuring six
others. Had it exploded in the
crowded pavilion, scores of innocent
sightSeers would have been killed.
How much other damage bombs
have done throughout the nation is,
to some extent, still an official
secret. Also, this most stealthy of
secret enemy weapons has habit
OF destroying itself, so that it is often
impossible to say with certainty that
bomb has been used-even though
all evidence points in that direction.
But more than one major defense
plant explosion is believed to have
had its origin in a suitcase bomb,
planted by some secret agents of
the Axis powers.
However, clues have been scarce,
and even the worlds fair bombing
remains an unsolved mystery, de-
spite large rewards offered for the
apprehension of the bomberS, and a
widespread search for them by the
FBI and other law enforcement
agencies.
a Long List of Blasts.
The list of explosions in munitions
plants is long and the total number
of deaths runs into the hundreds
with thousands injured.
Last June more than 60 persons
were killed and 70 were injured in
the Elwood ordnance plant south
of Joliet, ILL.,, said to be the largest
shell-loading plant in the world. An
investigation was launched, but the
cause remains a mystery.
Fires, as distinct from explosions,
have taken countless millions of dol
lars worth of materials needed by
the United States and her Allies.
Last fall a $4,000, 900 fire at the
Firestone Rubber company plant in
Fall River, Mass, destroyed 10000
tons of crude rubber as well as
much finished material.
The American people, accustomed
to heavy fire losses, gave little
thought to the significance of that
fire. But now, in the light of Japan's
seizure of the Netherlands East In
dies, where most of our crude rub
Der came from, and the rubber
shortage that has followed, the Fall
River blaze assumes an altogether
different light.
