Feline Mrs. Dionne Didn’t Like the “Hospital” ••Mrs. Tailspln," mascot of the Newark airport, was mighty proud of her newly born quintuplets, but like Mrs. Dionne of Canada, she didn't seem to care for the neat little hospital provided for them. Reach Middle Mark Cooling Giant Lens ^ _ _ __ Process Automatically Controlled at Every Step. Coruing, N. Y.—The halfway mark in perfecting a gigantic 200 Jnch telescopic eye—man’s great est effort to solve the mysteries of the universe—has been reached without mishap. The temperature of molten glass, slowly cooling in specially con structed annealing ovens, has been reduced to 785 degrees Fahrenheit from a high of 2,015 degree Fahren heit, Dr. George V. McCauley, physi cist in charge of the casting of the mirror, disclosed. “All is well at this point and we expect It to continue,” Doctor Mc Cauley said. The telescope is be \ ing made for California Institute of Technology and will be set up on Palomar mountain. First Cooling Is Rapid. After casting the glass December 2, 1934, the temperature was re duced with comparative speed to 842 degrees. Doctor McCauley re vealed. It was then raised to 932 degrees and kept there until Janu iary 21. Since then the tempera ture of the largest single piece of glass in the world has been lowered 1.4 degrees daily to present defects in cooling. The intricate and varied precau tions taken by scientists and engi neers in charge of the cooling of the mirror to prevent a faulty prod uct were related by Dr. J. C. Hos tetter, director of research and de velopment for the glass company. "The entire regulation of the pres ent treatment of the disc, which Is perhaps the most important phase of the construction, Is directed from a control room 50 feet from the annealing oven or kiln,” Doctor Hosietter explained. Ten Automatic Controllers. "Ten automatic temperature con trollers, electrically operated, keep the disc at the required tempera ture. Inside the annealer Is a squad of electrical ‘detectives’ called thermocouples scattered about the oven. Each of these In genious devices knows every second of the day and night the exact tern 30-Year-Old Woman Is Already a Grandmother San Jose.—A grandmother at thirty—and the mother-in-law of Jose Santa, one of the world’s larg est fighters—is the distinction claimed by Mrs. Frank Olivera of San Jose. Mrs. Olivera became a grandmoth er when her daughter, Mrs. Jose Santa, eighteen, became the mother of an infant son on Easter Sunday in Lisbon, Portugal, where the San tas now reside. Mrs. Olivera, when only eleven, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theo dore Ennes of Newark, married Frank Olivera, who is now in his early forties. Marie was her first child, born when Mrs. Olivera was not yet thirteen. She has three other children. Frank, sixteen; Al vena, fourteen, and Alvin, seven. JiMarie, wife of Santa, was only sixteen when she married the fight er in September, 1932. Ohio River Catfish Ate Officer’s Watch Louisville. Ky.—A watch that spent several weeks in the stomach of a six-pound catfish vhas been returned to its owner, jhatrolman William J. Lowmnn of the Louisville police depart ment. Lowman said that he lost the watch while fishing some weeks ago. The watch was found In the fish hy Arthur O. Weiser, who ■ cently caught It on a fishing pedition. I_ ^ perature. It reports constantly to the master electrical controller. "In the control room each day the man in charge of operation changes the signals on each of the ten controllers. He does not change all at once, but in series of three hour Intervals. When nny particu lar thermocoupler inside the an nealer signals to the control room the slightest variation from the temperature which has been set the heat in this section is automatically adjusted.” Astronomers believe the telescope will disclose unimaginable and al most unbelievable truths of the out er universe to the human eye. Doctor Hos(etter also disclosed that an 85 inch mirror for the Uni versity of Michigan was cooling per fectly and probably would be com pleted in about five months. Dog Sleds Still Popular for Transport in North Edmonton, Alta.—Airplanes may be revolutionizing development of the Fnr North, but the old-fashioned dog sled still Is mighty popular. John Mntheson, veteran Edmon ton ship builder, will testify to that. Every winter, when the demand for boats Isn’t so hot. Captain Matheson turns his plant to con structing’ sleds. Ordinarily, Matheson’s plant turns out 200 to .‘100 orders. This winter, (100 were built—an all-time record. London Tower Moat to Be Children’s Playground London.—The old moat of the tower of London will be converted Into a playground for children, ac cording to present plans. A pag eant dramatizing the great fire of London and the theft of the crown jewels by Colonel Blood In 1671 will be given from May 25 to June 8, and the funds raised will be used to make over the area. Lights of New York ny l. l. stevenson Something appealing about sev enty-eight-year-old James E. Wash burne’s tight to come back. Six years ago, he had 15 candy stores and a large factory. Today, he is selling candy in Times Square with a sign dangling from his neck. But instead of mourning about what the depression did to him. he Is looking to the future. The candy he sells is his own invention and only his wife and he know the secret. It Is made from vegetables and is non fattening. The public likes it well enough for his wife and him to live—and to hope. In the future, he sees advertising and the extension of his business from Times Square to the nation. He got the idea for the candy late last year and began selling it at Christmas time. Not until a family friend happened to run into him did his wife know that he was peddling the product of their home kitchen on the street. He was ashamed to tell her. But with the knowledge, she turned in and helped him more than ever. • • • Eighteen years ago, Mr. Wnsh burne went into the candy business. He had ideas both as to candy and merchandising. That both were sound was proved by the fact that the one downtown store, in which the start was made, grew to 15 and a factory. One of the stores was on Fifth avenue. It occupied a 9 by 18 foot space but the rent was $18,000 a year. The receipts, how ever, averaged $1,000 a day. The Washburnes, besides a big town apartment with an annual rental of $4,700, had two New Jersey shore summer homes and a farm. Three NEW GREEK ENVOY Dimltrios L. Slclllanos is the new minister from Greece to the United States. months ench year they took a Flori da vacation. With an Income of $50,000 a year such things did not make much difference. But hard times came. Candy business dropped off at on alarming rate. One by one, the stores closed. Finally, there was one left on Sixth avenue. Then that joined the others, and there was no more income. • * • To meet obligations and to live, Mr. Washburne sold all his posses sions except the farm which is heavily mortgaged. Mis wife’s jew els, said to have been worth $100, 000, were also sold. Now they are living in a one-room apartment which is also the candy factory. Mr. Washburne is sure he can come back. lie has the candy formula and though seventy-eight, can still dance a jig. • • • Libel laws haunt authors and playwrights. Careful as they may be in creating a scene or a char acter there may be some resem blance to an actual happening or a living person and then comes a case in court. Mark Twain’s Col. Mulberry Sellers in his “Gilded Age" kept bobbing up here and there after the book was published. That tlie writer coined the name is no defense. Playwrights have lost suits because they named some vil lainous character and a righteous person by that same name, un heard of previously, has brought them into court. Ring Lardner solved the problem by naming char acters after his friends. In Eng land, the laws are even more se vere than in this country. De spite that fact, John van Bruyten, English playwright and novelist, who plans to spend the summer here finishing a new novel, seeming ly invites disaster by obtaining names for his characters from tele phone books and directories of the section where the scenes in the book are laid. Not long ago, Van Rruyten, who wrote "Flowers of the Forest” In which Katharine Cornell Is appear ing, did get Into trouble. In "Re hold We Live," there was a woman who never appeared on the stage but who throughout the play was talked about as a disagreeable, bridge-playing person. Nothing hap pened during the London run of the play but when It appeared In print it came to the attention of a wom an of the same name. Alleging that she had been ridiculed and slan dered, she threatened suit, demand ing damages and the destruction of the edition of the play. Eventu ally a compromise was effected, an account equivalent to the cost of reissuing the volume with the name of the character changed, being paid to her favorite charity. But Van Bruyten still uses the same method. j ©, H ” W.VU S«rvlo», Not Posed By MOSES SCHERE © McClure Newspaper syndicate.

Go back to your folks. I’m uo good. 1 married you live years ago, and for four <>f those years you haven't even had enough to eat. Go back there, sweetheart. 1 can’t, can't take the last of your rainy-day money and sink it In this shop, and watch It go the way the rest of it went.’’ She stood and looked at him for a long time. Then site went slowly, drearily back to the two little rooms. She said, ‘‘You arranged every thing, Tommy?*' “Yes. The Caribbee — sails at noon.” He tried to smile. “Pay them at the pier. There’ll be just enough left to get you home after you land on the other side. . . ." She said. "I love you." with her lips, not making any sound. Then she walked out of the door. When he realized that he was standing and looking at the sharp edge of tils pocket knife, he re coiled. Not that—ever. He looked around wildly. There was the tricky little cam era with which you snapped people ns they walked down the streets. You gave them a coupon with n number, and one In a hundred would send It back with a qunrter for you to develop the negative. The gadget had cost him plenty— cost him Daisy, perhaps. Hut he locked the store and ran out with It. Ten o’clock. She’d be gone In two hours, and gone, he knew, for good. “Just send In the coupon, madam. The picture will be perfectly nat ural—not posed, you see.” That one’s the kind who wouldn’t want a nnturnl-looklng photo graph. I’ll hnve to be careful about types. Eleven-ten. Twenty. Thir ty. Daisy’s still here—she’s on the ship, and the captain Is looking al his watch. She still loves me; If 1 didn't know that I’d walk out In front of that trolley car . . . there’s a man, there’s a good type. Why, It’s his honor, the mayor. Ills honor wouldn’t send him a quarter, but he'd just watch that slow, heavy walk In his finder. Ah, he’s stopped—some men have come out of n car marked “Press” and are talking to him, very re spectfully. And the mayor Is deny ing something; he’s fumed his hack on the men and is walking on, a little faster. What’s this? Some one else is in the finder. Some one who’s picture had been in the papers ns much as the mayor’s—Big Dan Murphy, the opposition boss, the sworn enemy of his honor. Snap! Got them glaring at each other. Snap! Got both their arms waving. Snap! Big Dan’s fist is in the mayor’s face! Snap! The mayor is on the side walk with blood running of his fat chin and Big Dan Is turning on some one else! It’s the men from the Press car; they’ve suspected something and had their camera ready—they were behind the two. Maybe they were in time and may be they weren’t. Pig Dan’s two hundred pounds Is moving toward that camera like a charging ele phant. Snap! Got him! Got him as he lifted the instrument and got him as he slammed It down and the creamy-white film spilled out ami spoiled. The newspaper reporter who had been smart enough to scent the trouble hut too much in a hurry to take two cameras, opened his mouth to swear. Then he saw some thing that caused his mouth to re main open—a man with a dinky llt ale picture-taker who was calmly taking shot after shot of the mayor's battered bewildered face. When the newsman descended upon him he was dazed. They grabbed him. ‘‘Did you get it—get the whole fight?” Slowly his eyes opened wide as he realized what be had done. “I got It.’’ “lie got It! He got it!” There was a lufiipy chorus. Then strict tin si ness. “Here. Hop Into (lie car. It’s worth five hundred to us. Get In, get in.” Tommy suddenly looked around wildly. Where was that clock? Tiie official pulled bis hand down. "All right, I’ll make It seven hun dred; hut It’s near press time, hur ry up.” Tommy stared. It sank Into his mind. He looked up for the clock again—there it was. an electric clock in the window of a telegraph office. There was time! "Eleven thirty-five!” he cried aloud. The officln] stepped hack, looked at him, looked at his camera, looked at a rival car marked “Press” which was speeding toward them. "All right. Eleven hundred and thirty-five. It’s robbery, but come on—get in.” "Walt—just a minute.” Tommy was back in the world now. "The pictures are yours at that price. But lend me a dollar first, will you? I’ve got to send a telegram to the Caribee.” Celebrate Birthday of Oldest Sunday School The world's oldest—nnd largest —Sunday school has Just celebrated Its one hundredth and fiftieth annl | versary. This Is Stockport Sunday school, which has been carried on contlnu | ously since the seventeen-eighties, | and In the same building since 180b. it was founded by the Methodists, but was nonsectarian, and hundreds of thousands of youngsters have been taught in It. At one time Its membership was over 0.000; even today It Is over 3,000. Hut Stockport, though It may claim to possess the oldest Sunday school still functioning today, wasn’t quite the first in the tlehl. That honor belongs to Gloucester, where, three or four years before the Stockport venture was launched, the first mod ern Sundny school was Inaugurated by Robert Ualkes. a printer, and Rev. Thomas Stock. Reading and writing were taught along with the Bible In the early years of the scheme, and the first teachers were paid. Before that both Luther and John Knox had made experiments with Sunday schools, hut the real begin ning of tlie great movement which we know today was the Gloucester experiment of Unikes and Stock.— London Answers.
