“EARLY AUTUMN”
(By Louise Bromneld)
(Published by Fredrick A.
Stokes, New York).
“Early Autumn” presumably
derives its title from the fact
that its subject is the portrayal
of the life and emotions of a
woman on the verge of middle age.
The heroine, Olivia Pentland, (nee
McConnell) a handsome attrac
tive woman, nearing forty, is mar
ried unhappidly to the bloodless
Anson Jentland a caricature of the
most pronounced and unattractive
phase of Puritanism. Her un
happiness, all but unconscious to
herself, she has endured for years,
until the return of her cousin,
Sabine Callender, from a more
attractive life abroad rouses in
the hitherto quiescent Olivia, de
sires that her New England en
vironment had previously suc
ceeded in suppressing. Gradually,
without realizing it, through the
manipulation of the brilliant but
not too scrupulous Sabine, Olivia
is thrown with a local politician,
a self-made man, with all the un-
scruplousness of one who lets
nothing stand in the way of what
he wants; and the usual denou-
ment follows: the two find them
selves confronted with the di
lemma of having to choose be
tween separation and a liason,
since the timorous Anson refuses
to permit a divorce on account
of his horror of a family scandal.
The discovery by Olivia of a
bundle of letters in the attic,
written by an indiscreet ances
tress of the proud Pentlands,
gives her a weapon which she
might easily use to gain her
freedom; but this she hesitates to
do mainly on account of her ad
ministration and affection for her
father-in-law, with his uncom
promising standards of integrity
and noblesse oblige. A pre
arranged encounter with a po
litical adherent of her lovei
brings home to Olivia the
fact that any entanglement
with a woman would mean his
political ruin and his subsequent
disillusionment and distaste for
the woman who had been its
cause.
Just as Olivia, for these rea
sons, is about to decide to give up
her plan of escape, the death of
the father-in-law and a sense of
loyalty to his ideal of her clinches
her decision; and she returns to
performing the same old mono
tonous and distasteful tasks that
constituted her life before Sabine
Callender ever came to disturb
the even tenor of her way.
—Newell Mason—
is not what it once was.
Chicago attacks one big prob
lem in a big way, building the
“largest, best jail in the world”.
The cost, with a court house in
front to help fill the jail, will be
seven and a half millions. Rooms
for fourteen criminal courts will
be built with high ceilings, and
back of the court the big jail for
the modern crime army.

WIRELESS POWER.
BIG BUSINESS IS BIG.
DON’T PUSH LABOR.
BIGGEST JAIL IN WORLD.
It has been suggested here oc
casionally during several years
past that a solution of the flying
problem would eventually include
wireless transmission of power.
What men can imagine, they can
do when imaginations run on
same lines.
Electric waves are power and
can be sent without wires. It is
not too much to hope that power
generated at one place on the
earth will be sent without wires to
another place, or sent to ma
chines flying in the air.
In view of jail breaking and
the unusual energy of criminals,
wouldn’t it be a good idea to let
jailers wear gas masks, and install
in corridors and in the main office
valves that, when opened, would
flood the jail with some convinc
ing gas of the mustard type?
Nothing to kill or permanently in
jure the convicts, of course, but
strong enough to take their minds
off any jail breaking plan.

SHE TEACHES SNAKES
TO DRILL
Any school library in West
Virginia possessing 50 or more
volumes may be kept open during
summer vacation for at least one
day a week, if desired, in order
to supply reading matter to stud
ents and patrons. Uuder State
law, boards of education are
authorized to provide a librarian
to meet this local need.
Miss Nora Wilkins, of Powell
County, Ky., is a snake catcher by
vocation and she makes a good
living out of the job. She is on
ly 23 years old, and she has caught
and sold some rare specimens to
circuses, zoological gardens and
private collectors. She has, at
her home, six snakes which she
has taught to crawl in drill forma
tion.

Latest, most important news is
that Marconi, speaking cau
tiously as usual, suggests the pos
sibilities of power transmission
without wires as a scientific pos
sibility, not a mere hope. There
could be no greater practical
scientific achievement.
Reports from our big business
proves that it really is big. No
wonder Europe envies us. While
doubting Thomases ask, “What do
you think of the business out
look?” reports of great compan
ies answer the question.
In the first nine months of this
year General Motors earned more
than $149,000,000, and the big
United States Steel Company
more than $145,000,000.
It is interesting to see one of
the automobile organizations mak
ing bigger profits than United
States Steel, biggest industrial or
ganization in the world.
In nine months United States
Steel earned more than $13 a
share on five hundred millions of
common stock. That was once
called “thin air”, it wasn’t even
“water”. Now, with earnings
“put back” it represents no one
knows h(^' much real wealth.

realize that the American Federa

rf conservatism, and not try to
push it in the direction of Bol

fact that organized labor power
Forty odd years ago, Edison,
now eighty-four, was personally
superintending the installation of
a small electric lighting plant in
Harry Hill’s”, on Houston Street
New York, where John L, Sullivan
used to box.
He probably did not think that
he would live to see electric
light and power develop into a
business of seven thousand five
hundred millions of dollars.
And that is only the beginning.
Insull in Chicago, Williams in
New York, and the great electric
companies on the Pacific coast
are constructing power plants of
hundreds of thousands of horse
power.

‘DAY SLEEPERS” ON PLANES
Due to the ceaseless drone of
the motors and the fact that at
such height the landscape moves
slowly, passengers on airplanes in
Europe find they are easily lulled
to sleep. This condition has made
it necessary for the plane opera
tors to install sloping, easy
chairs with high backs for the com
fort of their passengers especial
ly on the longer trips.
SILK WORMS OUTDONE

An artifical silk made from wood
is being produced in greater
quantity now than that of the silk
worms over a given period. In
one year 150,000,000 pounds of
this artifical silk made from wood
alone exceeded the production of
real silk by all the silk worms.
