AFRICAN NATIONS' PARLEY DISRUPTED Trade Reconciliation Be- tween Rhodesia and South Africa Breaks Down. Star and Chicago Dally Cepyright, 1929. JOHANNESBURC, September 26.— The Johannesburg conference, which lasted a full week and almed at the reconciliation of the interests of South Africa and Rhodesia, has ended in complete failure, and there is a definite break between these countries of the ‘The existing trade By Cable to The News agreements will terminate December 31, when both countries plan to erect stiff tariff walls against each other. In the meantime, the South African government is taking steps to prevent the dumping of Rhodesian tobacco in the union, and its precautions are not calculated to improve the relations be- tween the two countries. The gulf been widening since the failure to se- cure union of the two countries in 1922, and particularly since the Na- tionalists came into power in 1924. Rhodesia is solidly British, while South Africa has done its utmost in the last five years to draw away from British influence. The adoption of a national flag for South Africa, instead of the Union Jack, meant definitely that Rhodesia never would enter the union, and when South Africa made a treaty with Germany, Rhodesia decided that her relations would have to be put on a different basis. The cabinet ministers of both coun- , tries met at Pretoria and a 25-year-old convention was thrown into the waste pasket. An official communique states: “To the very great regret of both governments, the customs conference has broken down, as it was found im- possible to reconcile the conflicting in- terests of the two countries.” ‘The decision means virtually that South Africa will cease to be a carrier for Rhodesian goods, which will now be imported through Lobito Bay, in- stead of Cape Town and Durban. Cus- tomshouses will be built along the Limpopo River. In South Africa the principal effect is to intensify the Afrikander feeling against the English- speaking section of the population.

WOMAN INSURANCE DELEGATE FINDS MANY OF SEX IN BIG PAY Tremendous Incomes Won by Own Efforts, Says Miss Jones. Business, Stage and Profes- sion Represented by Those Who Triumph. BY GREYCHEN SMITH. Coming in touch with women who ss tremendous incomes and who have created for themselves enviable po- sitions in professional and business flelds is an everyday occurrence for Miss | Sara Franoes Jones, special agent of the Equitable Life Insurance Co. of New York in Chicago, who is now in Wash- ington attending the national conven- tion of underwriters, being held at the Mayflower Hotel. Many cases are cited by Miss Jones, who claims that no one sees more inti- mately or realizes more fully th: amaz- ing strides being made by women of the present day in fields of financial suc- cess. ‘Woman Physician’s Rise. “Among those on my books,” Miss Jones said, ‘is a woman fl"y‘lclnn of Chicago, who, when she started prac- ticing in that city 18 years ago, did not have $50 to her name after paying her first month’s rent. She is now earning an income of not less than $20,000 a year, owns her home in Chicago and a beautiful estate in California.” “Among my first elients,” continued Miss Jones, “was Judge Mary M. Bartelme of the Chicago Juvenile Court. Of course, every one knows/that tbe judges make $15,000 a year, and Judge Bartelme is the only woman judge in Chicago. The first policy I wrote for Miss Bartelme has matured and she told me that the money enabled her to buy her first home. Today, most of her policies are retirement annuities, which will give her definite income at a given age for the rest of her life.” To disprove the theory that a women is disqualified by virtue of her sex from forging ahead in the business world alone and unaided and that it is difii- cult for her real ability to be recognized, Miss Jones cites the case of a Chicago woman, who is now the owner of one of that city’s largest departmen® stores and carries $1,000,000 insur: Started as Clerk. “This woman started out at 15 years department — | the Carnegie Institution will accompany Despite the fact' that this woman is in the banking business and has the op- portunity to invest in stocks and bonds, she has provided for her future through |the medium of retirement annuities which will provide for her at the age she wishes to retire from business. “One of the most interesting classes of clients who come to me is from the stage,” continued Miss Jones. Visitor From the Stage. “One afternoop my telephone and a friend told me that Ruth Drape: the famous monolgist, was in town and that she would like to see me about insurance. I waited in my office until quite late that afternoon, when Miss D r came in, stating she was in a great hurry as she had to make a train for New York that night. She told me she was thinking of adopting a child and wanted to give it the proper in- surance. As she was leaving the city that night, she did not have time for the physical examination which she said | she would take in New York. But she signed the policy and gave me a check before leaving my office. In that way,” laughed Miss Jones, wrote & policy for Miss Draper, who had had no intention of being insured when she came into my office. She now carries a tremendous insurance and T wouldn’t wish to estimate her income today. But this again is merely the case of a woman of large income who uses insurance in her financial plan.” Miss Jones was the only woman who took the life insurance trust course that was inaugurated by the trust com- vanies of Chicago and the Chicago Life Underwriters' Association. Since then Miss | she has been mapping out trust pro- Jones. “Through efficiency and perse- verance, she went from one department | to another, saving her pennies as nhe! went, until finally she became manager | of the store and then finally its owner. | “Another case I can cite is a woman who is in charge of the woman's de- | partment in a large Chicago bank. She | started as a stenographer, worked up to | an_executive position and today is the | only woman who sits in on executive meetings of that bank and is one of its representatives of the bankers' conven- tion now being held in San Francisco.

Lindbergh's return | from his present 8,000-mile _trip over the Pan-American lines. Dr. Oliver | | Rocketson, an authority on Maya arch- | | the Carnegie Institution, will accompany Col. Lindbergh on these flights, which will be made from Belize, British Honduras, as a base. Dr. Ricketson {knows this region thoroughly and will be able to recognize such cities as are | already known and to chart the course of the plane into unexplored territory by using established cities as bearings. | Ruined Cities Sought. ‘The purpose of the flight is to locate ruined cities which are said to exist in the unexplored regions and to photo- graph them and map their location by compass bearings in such a way as to | allow land parties to reach them in a | fraction of the time that would be | | consumed in blind search. | i Dr. John C. Merriman, president of | the Carnegie Institution, said that it is | | desired to determine how much of the | plan and extent of an ancient Maya | city can be made out from the ajr. It | is hoped, he declared, that there may | be discovered and traced certain great | highways through the jungle which | were used by the Mayas for intercity | communication. Dr. Miriam Enthusiastic. | Dr. Mirlam was enthusiastic today | about the possibilities of air exploration | at the Central American jungles which | supported a flourishing civilization be-| fore th~ birth of Christ. He said that | it would be possible to reach the city | of Uaxactun, long a source of most of our information on Mayan culture, in | 20 minutes by airplane while the jour- | ney by muleback would consume 10 : days. | I “To get over the great bush country jof that region has always been a ter- rific task,” Dr. Miriam asserted. | The details of Col.
