New York, August, 23—"For Rent’:
signs on old Manhattan houses always
tug at me. The other day, lured by
such a placard on- a vaguely familiar
manse with stone gobelins out front in
East Nineteenth street, T applied to
the rental agent ’round the corner for
the key.
I suspected I ha dfbeen here before
ca soo n as I crossed the threshold,
and I had. It was the home of the
l~ ce Bob Chandler, rich, socially elect
painter and host to a thousand Man
hattan p? rties where down-a.nd.out
Greenwich Villagers rubbed elbows--
and bent them—-with what, for lack
c? a better term, must be dubbed “in
ternational playboys.”
AHJhough Oh^ndl/er dried two or
tnree years ago, and although the fur
r - ,jr e was gone and the renovators
h’d begun work, his strange person
fi:ty ingered about the littered rooms.
STUDIO DE LUXE
I said house when it was really
two houses, connected on the top floor
by two of the largest studios with sky^
1 ghts I have ever seen. The floors
were a melee of junk—the odds and
ends of personal property which have
no intrinsic value but which carry the
impirnt rs a men’s personality until
the final broom.
Wihen 1 had been) here before the
occasion was a huge costume ball.

magazine section feature stories have
been written for hi* fantastic career

to costumie parties. Even now my
tre dislodged, from a pile of refuse,
the photograph of a lady in a Colum

“To Bob-1914..”
Out of the mas® of sketches, unfin
ished paintings thrown away, cancell
ed checks, old invitations, hundreds
rs rhotn graphs, knickknacks of every
description, emerged a sort of bio
graphy. Glancing, like the Great

SEVERAL PERIODS
The older drawings heavy with dust,
showed Bob Ohanler in his first, rath,
er conventional period. Then came
the heyday of his fame as a. painter of
werdly exotic screens and tapestries,
upon which strange birds and jungle
grasses writhed in a riot, of color.
After that, end not so dusty, were

WEATHER W A YS: Although
the heating influence of the sun in
creases with the length of the day
and with the sun’s altitude at noon,
the longest days are not the hottest.
Explanation: In June l when maxi
mum daylight is attained, the loss
by radiation at night is still suffi
cient to offset the heat received by
day. Not until July or August do
the two become equal, resulting in
maximum temperatures.

Weal’s What-at a Glar^g,
iMil WASHINGTON Q~ WQRLD^CfI
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Aug. 23.—1 f Warden
Lewis Lawes, Sing Sing’s veteran cri
mnologist, testfying before the U. S.
senate's anti-racketeering committee
recently—
If Warden Lawes, in speaking of
the nation as “definitely at war with
the underworld,” could be supposed
to have included, in the underworld
he referred to, the sort of racketeer
who contrives to avoid all payment of
income tax the same year he is put
ting a $2,000,000 private yacht into
commission for himself—
Why, then one might accept War
den Lawes as a criminologist worth
listening to.
However’, one feels reasonably cer
tain that the type of racketeer War
den Lawes had in mind is merely the
relatively petty racketeer, whom the
local police anywhere, if any good,
ought to be able to deal with; but
ex-Police Commissioner Edward P.
Mulrooney of New York, following
Warden Lawes on the witnesse stand
before the senatorial investgators,
convincingly explained what ails the
country’s police administration.
Ex-Commissioner Mulrooney favors
sentencing each major criminal to a
semi-annual public whipping for a 20-
year term.
A nice, civilized public ex—Commis
sioner Mulrooney would have—would
n’t he? a public educated to turn out
and enjoy the public torturing of its
major criminals semi-annually. Be
sides, would be class $2,000,000 yacht
owners, who dodge their income taxes
(legally, of course) as major criminals.
It is this kind of thing which
makes one doubt that the senate’s
investigation a
mounts to much.

ANTI-MONOPOLY
The Wickersham anti-crime com
mission consisted about 50 per cent of
lawyers who had reached the top of
their profession by advising .heir
clients how to defy statutes against
monopoly. I treid repeatedly for a
definition from these specialises of the
difference between defying anti-mono
poly and (for example) anti-burglary
legislation. They treated it as a fri
volous question.
NOT PENETRATING
The Wickersham commission per
sisted, through its whole inquiry, in
regarding crime as an evil to be met
by more effective police and judicial
methods. Its report will be searched in
vain for any consideration of it as a
problem arising from deep-seated so
cial and economic causes.

1754—Louis Sixteenth of France
was born. An ill-fate hung over him
from the cradle. He was the 3rd
son of the dauphin, and succeeded to
his profligate grandfather’s throne
when he was 20 because his father
and elder brothers had gone to early
graves. The treasury was empty,
the state debt was 400 million livres
(180 million of which Louis XV had
given his mistress, Mine. Pompa
dour, in five years), the people were
crushed with taxes. He worked
hard, remitted many taxes, at
tempted to effect reforms, sought to
place the burden equally upon
wealthy and poor, was combatted by
the court, aristocracy, parliaments
& church, went further into debt

ican Revolution, would not use the

The number of banks open has in

HOG PRICES
The sharp drop of hog quotations
has seriously endangered trade hopes
in the West.
Hogs have dropped more than $1
a hundred pounds below the peak
quotation of $5.05 on May 20.
Chicago stockyards experts say that
the rout was caused by proposals for
a processing tax, pig bonuses and sow
•killing.
Thereioie, it was with a great deal
of anxiety that producers and stork
yards men awaited the plan of Ser
retary of Agriculture Wallace for
boosting corn and hog prices.
Wall Street sees in this “price in
terference” great danger. It believes
that Chicago grain and livestock mar
kets now govern the stock market.
And pegging of prices and other ef
foits to restrain “natural flow” cause
a nervousness that produces the op
posite effect of that intended.
Europe sees in such efforts acknow
ledgement of weakness and that alone
depresses security values in America
for Wall Street accepts the same judg
ment.

that fully 2,000,000 fruit jars and 2-

“When th e relief office first sent

(Brower said. “But present indications

that the total will easily amount to
