Although in ill health for sev- eral years, Mrs. Hatton was working at the office of the Evening Times, where she was in charge of the linotype de- partment, as late as last Tuesday. She was active in the Cumberland local of the International Typographical Union, but il health caused her to re- sign the gresidency recently. She op- erated the first linotype machine brought to this city, which was in 1899, and not long before her refusal to take part in a strike and her getting out the paper for several days almost single- handed attracted wide attention. She was the wife of Robert J. Hat- ton, also an employe of the Evening Times, and a daughter of Willlam F. Kirby. who died two months ago. 1930—PART ONE. > WORKER IS K “BY STEEL SPLINTER Particle Flying From Sledge Ham- mer Penetrates Man's Jugu- lar Vein. Special Dispatch to The Star.

LONDON (N.AN.A).—Private view day at the Royal Academy conjures visions of exquisite ladies in diaphanous gowns, of top-hatted gallants and sparkling conversation, with, of course, a few pictures in the background. But in reality, it seems to be an event that has lost its glamour, something that has ceased to be an occasion” and dwindled into a crush. Perhaps it is because there are so few top-hats. or it may be the predominance of unro- mantic tweeds and dark costumes and the lack of picture hats. ‘The fact remains that one's chief impressions of the opening of this year's academy were that the younger genera- tion wants to see the pictures, not:the clothes, and that their elders are fight- ing a losing battle in matters sartorial.
