OBVIOUSLY As the crowded London bus came to a standstill, a stout, middle-aged man descended the stalrs, carrying a small girl, obviously his daughter. Tenderly placing his burden on the curb, he ascended the stairs again and shortly returned carrying a tiny dog. Placing the dog beside the child, he returned upstairs and again descended, bearing a second child, which he stood besida the first, Once more he ascended the stairs and again returned, carrying a third youngster.

Iiis statement started a contro- versy that has been filling the letter columns of the Manchester Guardian, and which the Guardian summarizes in these words: ] "So far there has appeared ..,. no sign of envy on the part of British listeners ....,, The general feeling ex- pressed on this side is that no swell- ing of revenue would compensate for the inescapable horrors of wireless advertisements." The case for supporting broadcast- ing by the revenues from advertising, as made by Mr. Cantor, is that the competitive basis on which it rests evolves® the "talent" that the radio needs--talent such as Mr, Cantor-- and that the advertising brings in the money to pay such entertainers on a lavish scale.

"| mark bya newspaper correspondent Position of Modern Woman : Due Largely to Typewrit r Washington -- 'The stenographer's favorite instrument, the typewriter, was described in an official report as an emancipator of women. "The invention and development of the typewriter has opened more jobs to women than any other single machine, said a review by the women's bureau of its first extensive study of feminine White collar work- ers, £1 The pamphlet added that approxi- mately one out of every eight wo- men offieg workers in the seven cities studied. operated a machine having some sort of a key board, "In the seventies and eighties, the amanuensis iurned out stilted and formal letters in a Spencerian hand and the word stenographer was al- most unknown," the report said, "In this curvey, the stenographic group formed about one-third of all office workers." However, mechancial devices which have followed the typewriter were said to have resuly'™d in reducing numbers on certain types of work. The bureau studied some 43,000 of the 2,000,000 women at work in offices--a number larger than those employed in industry, in stores, or in any other occupation except domestic and personal server, This cross-section sampling was done in advertising, banking, insur- -ance, investment, mail order, pub lishing, and public utilities offices in New York, Hartford, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Des Moines, and St. Louis, on salary, _hours, promo- tion chances, and training required. "More women were at work as general clerks than at any other job in' the offices included in the survey," the report said. "While numerically the largest group, general clerks re- ceived a monthly median salary of only $90--a lower median than that received by any other class of em- ployees except file clerks whose median was $81, tabulating or key! punchers whose median was $89, and a smaller number of messengers whose median was $55. Stenogra- phers, the second largest occupa- tion group, received a higher me- dian salary--$114, "In Chicago, the only city where data on the salaries of men officers were secured women were found for the most part to earn considerably less than the men even for the same jobs. ; "Negro women office workers in- cluded in the study earned much lower salaries than those of white women." : ; Lady Ashley end Senior - Fairbanks May Be Married Rome. -- Douglas Fairbanks and Lady Ashley, arriving in Rome re- cently smiling and happy, stead- fastly refused to discuss the possi- bility of their marriage. .

'ed President Hoover to make a pub lic appeal by radio for the return of: her son. As the President was to give a radio address that evening-- Sunday, March 6--he said without | hesitation that, of course, he would grant the request, relates Theodore | G. Joslin (in "Hoover's Off the Rec- | ord"--the "inside" story of the Hoos ver administration by a former seo- retary). ' x "He went immediately to his study and wrote an appeal in longhangd," recalls Joslin, "which he intended to read upon appearing before the mic- rophone and prior to beginning the formal address--on unemployment relief, "I was a dinner guest at the White House that night, Colonel Ling bergh sent word while the dinner way in progress that 'an important devel. opment' was anticipated momentar- ily and that it would be best in the circumstances if the President did not make the appeal. Accordingly, Mr, Hoover discarded his notes." "The appeal the President had pre- pared was never published. Until now, less than half a dozen people have known anything about it, It was only a few sentences long, It is so revealing of the character of the man that I venture to set it down here from memory: "'Mrs. Lindbergh has asked me to request the return of her beby boy. It is a request no man would refuse, It anyone within the sound of my voice knows where that baby is, I ask that they immediately communi- cate with the proper authorities, and, if they do not, may God have mercy on their souls.' " Because of President Hoover's ex- traordinary fondness for children, the Lindbergh kidnapping was the more ghastly to him. He idolized his three grandehfidren-- Peggy Ann, Peter, and the baby, says Mr, Jis- lin: ; "Ihave seen Peggy Ann interrupt "him on 'a' Sunday; while he was work- ing ona vitally important paper, to announce "demurely, 'Luncheon is served,' to repeat the announcement when he did not look up, and 'then, when 'he said 'All right,' but kept on writing, to march over to his desk and with a sweep of her little arm scatter the papers, saying, 'I said lun." oheon is ready, come on-you lazy rman,' Without looking at the havoc wrought, he laid down the pencil, picked up the little girl in his arm and went to luncheon." . Mr. 'Joslin also tells the story about his youngest son who had drop-' ped into the secretary's office at the White House late one afternoon to find his father talking to a strange Federal Reserve Board and possess- or of a "highly developed sense of humor," Mr. Meyer was head ~ of the Reconstruction Finance Corpor- ation at the time, . "I introduced him to the Govern: or," chuckles Secretary Joslin, "whom he asked innocently: "'What state are you of?" "The Governor came at him, : ""I'll tell you, young man,' he sald, 'TI am Governor of the State of Bank- ruptcey'." : Governor IN HEAVEN In one of his letters to his daugh- ter, whitten from Aberdeen, Scotland, at the time he received the degree of Doctor of Literature from Aber. deen University, Maartens Maarten, the Dutch Novelist, wrote: "Professor R, told me of a man' here, :who 'had received a telegram that he must break to his sister the news of her husband's quite sud. den deatli, He went straight to her hourse, burst in and said: 'Lizzie, I've got very bad news for you about John.
