A—8 =x* MARY KEEPS BUSY AS QUEEN MOTHER Spurns Semi-Retirement to Help George Over Early Years of Reign. Br the Associated Press. LONDON, July 3.—Queen Mary, after a quarter-century of fulfilling Britain's ideal of what a reigning Queen should be, today is playing the role of queen mother apparently with even greater success. She has not followed the example of Queen Victor spending her widowhood pining in semi-retirement. Her coronation activitaes and her re- cent attendances at the Wimbledon tennis championships impressed the Nation with her choice to play an active part still in the life of her people. The days of mourning for her con- sort, King George V, who died Jan- uary 20, 1936, proved only a tem- porary let-up in her manifold activi- ties. Familiar Sight Today. Today, although white-haired and 70, she is a familiar sight at most of the countless events of the corona- tion season—still with the same stately carriage and gracious smile, still wearing the flowered toques of the style she made her own, holding a tight-rolled umbrella or sunshade in & white-gloved hand. The warmest cheers of the British public still are for her Queen Mary’s return to public life was done with the strictest regard for court etiquette. She made her first appearances at art exhibitions, flower shows and other quiet func- tions. When the period of mourning was over, she atiended one or two film premieres ‘for charity, and thus paved the way for her reappearance &t state functions such as courts, gar- den parties. palace balls and finally the coronation itself The eve of the abdication of her #on, King Edward VIII, saw the Queen mother at her best While curious crowds thronged to the gates of Marl- borough House and pictures of the then Mrs. Simpson—now the Duchess of Windsor and her daughter-in-law— stared from front pages of nearly every London newspaper, Queen Mary drove out rit of “business 85 usual,” waving and smiling to the crowds as if she could not guess any special for their presence there.

B the Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa., July 3—Gov Earle wound up the work of the 1937 Legislature today by signing the last of 736 bills advanced to him They included appropriation bills for $338,591,086 to operate the State government during the next two years and a measure giving Pennsylvania workers, both men and women, a 44- hour week divided into five and one- half 8-hour days The State budget for the biennium whick began June 1 exceeded that of the previous two years by more than $6.000,000. Exemptions were allowed for agri- cultural and domestic workers, execu- tives earning $25 a week or more and those in “learned” professions. The secretary of labor and industry was given power through the bill to make further exemptions if the law worked a hardship on business or was contrary “to the intent and purpose” of the act The Governor also signed a measure extending occupational diseases for which compensation shall be paid to include miners’ asthma. “caisson dis- ease,” poisoning by lead mercury, ar- senic, radium and other substances contacted in employment.

ONDON (Special Cable).—I left Paris on Sunday, June 20, on the morning train, and had an opportunity to look at the | countryside of France and found it | d ful. The farm lands age well | cared for and the people were work- ing on them on Sunday. In due time il reached the English Channel. It was as smooth as a lake and we were in England before we realized ft. ‘ The rail trip through England showed | me the m 1 talked of English coun- try, with its small estates, each house | with a garden. Finally | London [ Tt being Sunday night. things were quiet. with few people in the streets, | but it was very different on Monday. | The activity in the streets equaled | New vork during its busy hours. The | intensity of truck and automobile | congestion was a®ded to by the left- | hand drive. In our country we drive to the right, in London they drive to the left, and until you grow accus- tomed to it you are bewildered. I | spent all day Monday talking to 'm"v\smp(‘l men and having my pic- | ture taken. | U. S. Firms’ Names Frequent. | As I drove around London I was impressed by the close business rela- tions between England and the United | States, as I saw on all sides the famil- | iar names of American business con- cerns that have branch offices and | stores in England. When I said in | my last article that Paris looked like New York, of course I had not seen | London. My hotel room faced on the Thames and it looked to me like the Harlem River. The first street I walked on was the Strand, and it looks exactly like Broadway, between Thirty-fourth and Forty - second | streets, before the advent of tall build- | ings. The English policemen gave me | a thrill. They wear the same style of hats worn by the police of New York 40 years ago. except that they have a leather strap that goes under the chin. I saw a fire engine in Lon- don. the first one since I left New York. Because of my long experience with legislative bodies I was keen to see Parliament in session, so I went on ‘Tuesday afternoon at 3, the hour set for the members of the House of Commons to question the members of the cabinet. The prime minister and the department heads are seated together, and on one side of the cham- ber are the members with the govern- ment and on the other side the mem- bers against the government. Most of the questions came from the oppo- sition, and to my way of thinking many of them were intended to em- barrass the administration. When the department head answered a ques- tion the side with the government said, “Hear, hear!” The other side procedeed to give him what we call in New York the raspberry. Difficult to Get In. Unlike our American ‘legislative chambers, it is difficult to obtain ad- mission. We had to apply to the American Embassy for tickets, and showed them to no less than six police attendants before we reached the vis- itors' gallery. It is extremely diffie cult to hear what is said on the floor of the chamber, as it seems to be without acoustic properties. Five members wore high hats during the session. I was informed that at one time all members wore them. The custom changed, but the five I saw were still wedded to the plug hat. Under the rules a member is re- quired to take his hat off when he rises, speaks, cheers or bows. The speaker wears a long, white wig that reaches to his shoulders, and the three clerks sitting in front of him wear wigs. I was picturing myself during the hot days of May and June, when I was speaker of the New York Assembly, if I had to wear any wig, not to speak of the one I Saw on the speaker of the House of | Commons, which must weign at least | three pounds. Visitors in the gallery are furnished with printed copies of the questions asked the officials by the members. One of them we were very much in- terested in. It was addressed by a member named Alexander and was as fqllows: “To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is correct to infer from command paper 5480 that the arrears of principal and in- terest now due to the United States in respect of British war debts amounts to approximately £174,000,- 000; whether it is proposed to con- tinue to allow the arrears to accumu- late or whether it is proposed to re- open discussion of the matter with 12 I came to| the United States Government in connection with any proposals for a trade agreement.” Everybody Speaks in Reply. We all strained our necks to hear the answer, but it seemed to me that everybody started to speak at once and none of us got it. The next day I asked a member of the house what the an- swer was and he laughed and said he didn't answer it. Wednesday morning I went to the | London Zoo and was I at home! Don't speak about it! Two thousand five hundred animals, everything from a mouse to an elephant, and not one or | two of each kind, but as many as a dozen. Years ago I read and heard so much about the Whitechapel district that I thought I would like to see it, and I did. It is much like our water front on the lower East Side or the middle West Side of Manhattan Island. Of course, the houses do not look any- thing like our tenements. Decidedly fewer families occupy one house. The main street is given over to small shops, meat and vegetable markets, bakeries and the like. In the course of years London must have grown pretty much the same as New York did. Just as our lower East Side is only a short walk from Wall street, 50, also, is it a very short distance from Whitechapel to the London Stoek Exchange. While New York grew to the north, London grew to the west. While speaking of the stock ex- change it will amuse you to know that the members while trading on the floor wear high hats. Can you picture & warm day on our New York Stock Exchange with the boys in Palm Beach suits and high hats? It may not be such a bad idea, after all. We could find work for many of the un- employed making high hats. Further- more it would enable the Becurities and Exchange Commission to report to Co gress that the stock exchange went high hat (Copyright, 1937, McNaught Syndicate.) ACCIDENT CAUSES TWO DEATHS, FEUD Mexican Town's Police Force Has Split Over Results of Mishap. Br the Associated Press. DOUGLAS, Ariz, July 3.—A feud that already has cost one life has split the police force of Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, the Douglas Dispatch reports. A news report to the Dispatch from Cananea related that on June 24, while a group of policemen were engaged in target practice, Chief Juan Escobedo twirled his pistol around his finger. The gun accidentally dis- charged, killing Mario Merrera, an officer. Escobedo surrendered to civil au- thorities and was exonerated. While Escobedo was under technical arrest, the report said, Jose Merrera, as- sistant chief and brother of the vic- tim, assumed Escobedo’s office. Upon Escobedo’s release, the Dis- patch reported, Jose Merrera shot and killed his superior and surrendered to fellow officers. The report from Cananea said sub- sequent threats of vengeance had Been voiced. FOUR ARE INJURED AS CAR OVERTURNS Mother and Three Daughters Hurt in Accident on Great Falls Road. E: ¢ Btal Correspondent of The Star. POTOMAC, Md., July 3.—A mother and her three daughters were injured, none critically, when their automobile overturned on the Great Falls road, one mile north of here, today. Most severely hurt of the quartet, all local residents, was Hattie Bell Pier, 2, who suffered a brain concussion and a slight hip laceration. She was treated at Montgomery County Gen- eral Hospital, where physicians said her condition was “fair.” Also taken to the hospital were the mother, Mrs. Maude Pier, 41, suffering lacerations; Dorothy Pier, 16, named as the driver, with a severe scalp cut, and Arlean Pier, 5, who received abrasions. Police said Dorothy apparently lost control of the machine, which swerved down the road 130 feet before over- turnine- QUEZON MAPPING COSTLY PROGRAM Has $50,000,000 Windfall to Spend on Public Im- provements. BY JAMES G. WINGO. With a pian on how to spend & $50,- 000,000 windfall from the United States Treasury in his pocket, Pres- ident Manuel Luis Quezon of the Philippine Commonwealth, who has been running his government by re- mote control in the last six months, is now on his wayv home. Before he left Washington he asked the Treasury to transfer to the ac- count of his government the 12t pro- ceeds of taxes collected up to July 1. 1937, on the processing of Philip- pine coconut oil. The windfall is much larger than the annual revenue of the insular government. The Phil- ippine Commonwealth will receive $24,000,000 a year from this single source. Surprisingly, the supersensitive chief executive publicly revealed, through Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Sayre. chairman of the Joint Preparatory Committee on Philippine Affairs, the recommenda- tions he would make to his rubber- stamp unicameral National Assembly on how to spend the $50,000,000. Ap- parently he wanted to assauge the fears of American critics who are afraid that he might spend it for his army, which is believed by many here to have been organized to set him in office perpetually. Favor Quezon Re-Election. Already there is a movement in Ma- nila to amend the Philippine consti- tution to pave the way for his re- election for another six-year term Resident Commissioner Quintin Pa- redes recently expressed his approval of the repeal of the constitutional provision of one term only for the Philippine president Quezon told United States officials that he would spend $20,000,000 of the windfall for the purchase of all large landed estates (practically all friars’ lands) for the purpose of re- selling them in small parcels to ten- ants and others, for the establish- ment of a credit institution for the parcel purchasers, for building of roads in Mindanao and other more or less virgin spots, for establishment of certain government-supported elee- mosynary institutions and for build- ing rural schools. In his recent visit to Cuba he said that he would follow Dictator Ba- tista’s example of using the army to eradicate illiteracy in rural dis- tricts. The rest of the windfall Que- zon intends to keep intact for the readjustment of Philippine economy as recommended by the Joint Pre- paratory Committee. This committee recently completed hearings in Washington. Before sail- ing for the Philippines on July 24 from San Francisco, it will hold hear- ings on Philippine affairs in that city. The Quezon plan of spending the windfall from the United States disap- pointed many American teachers who entered contracts and served the Philippine government for many years because no sum was set aside for them. Teachers' Fund Abolished. Unexpectedly last year Quezon had his assembly abolish the teachers’ retirement and disability fund on the pretext that the pension system: was insolvent. Observers at the time saw a shrewd political move in Que- zon’s act. In Washington he would use it as a bargaining instrument. Old needy American teachers would write frantic letters to their congress- men asking them to beg President Quezon to re-establish the fund. The Quezon act meant that the American teachers would not get the retirement pensions toward which they had been contributing 3 per cent of their meager salaries (ranging from $900 to $1,500) for 35 years. In a combined protest and peti- tion prepared by the American Re- tired Teachers' Association of the Philippines and sent to various Wash- ington officials, the hardships en- countered by the men who built a Nation-wide modern educational sys- tem were described vividly. The return of President Quezon in Manila, which will end his so-called “radiophone goverment,” is creating much interest in the Philippines not so much to his reappearance on the island scene as to the anticipated showdown on the precedence ques- tion between him and High Commis- sioner Paul Vories McNutt, who has made an excellent impression upon Manila Americans and anti-Quezon PFilipines. AFFAIRS INSTITUTE WILL OPEN TODAY Sessions at U. of V. to Dis- cuss Co-operation for World Peace. £recinl Dispatch to The Star. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 3.— Peace on earth and how it may best be maintained is the theme around which has been developed the program for the eleventh Institute of Public Af- fairs, which begins tomorrew at the University of Virginia and will re- main in sessfon until July 17. - “International Co-operation for World Peace and Collective Security” is the general topic selected by Dr. stitute, who has pianned a program which he hopes will make this ses- sion the outstanding peace conference in the United States during 1937. Dr. Maphis has completely revised the plan of the institute sessions this year in order that attention might be focused upon the one problem of war and what to do about it. Instead of having a series of unrelated discus- sion groups each dealing with some topic of importance he has centered everything about one subject which ne selected for its universal interest and timeliness. Security Is Topic. Collective security as a national prob- lem is the only wholly domestic ques- tion that has been given a place on the program. But social security, old- Age pensions, wages and hours legis- lation and industrial strife are being considered in their relation to world peace. Because of the increasing storm and stress in the industrial situation, Dr. Maphis has already begun to plan ahead to have the program of the 1938 institute developed around phases of the relations between employers and employes. This Summer even Democrats and Republicans have been asked to forget party differences and to join in one effort toward peace among the na- tions. Frank Wickhem of Sfoux Falls, S. Dak., president of the Young Dem- ocratic Clubs of America, and J. Ken- neth Bradley of Bridgeport, Conn., national head of the Young Repub- lican Federation, will speak July 10 on the rights of nations and the paths to peace. Rotarians Invited. Inter-American relations, the es- sential conditions for international security, and world peace through the churches are the subjects of discus- sion groups for the first week. Second week subtopics are international or- ganization for collective security, storm centers in the Far East, and collective security as a national prob- lem Virginia Rotarians are sponsoring the discussion of conditions for inter- national security, which will be di- rected by Dr. Robert E. McElroy, pro- fessor of American history in Oxford University. Members of Rotary from | all over the State have been invited to a dinner Tuesday evening at the Farmington Club. Dr. John A. MacCallum, noted Philadelphia clergyman and author, will deliver the vesper service address tomorrow night at the first scheduled meeting of the institute. Debate Scheduled. R. Walton Moore, counselor for the Department of State, and James H. Price, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, will speak at the formal opening of the institute on Monday evening. President John Lloyd Newcomb and Dr. Maphis will welcome the institute members. Herman G. Brock, vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co, and Kirby Page of the emergency peace cam- paign are evening speakers for July 6. while Sumner Welles, Undersecre- tary of State, and Senator Key Pitt- man of Nevada are to be on the eve- ning program July 7. “Can America remain neutral?” is the question to be debated Thursday night by Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, and Dr. Clark M. Eichelberger, director of the League of Naticns Association. MELLON ART PLAN CALLED INADEQUATE Head of Baltimore Parks Com- mittee Says Six-Acre Site for Museum Is Too Small. Srecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 3.—Declaring the Andrew W. Mellon plan for a na- tional art museum in Washington is a “step in the wrong direction which will take years to retrieve,” William M. Ellicott, chairman of the Parks and Planning Committee of the Balti- more Chapter, American Institute of Architects, yesterday asked President Roosevelt to condemn the museum site selected by the Mellon Committee on Art Gallery. In a letter to the President, Ellicott said the Mellon site contains only six acres which will be lessened consid- erably by architectural considerations, Wwhereas the Metropolitan Museum in New York contains over eight acres with provision made for extension, and all of the major cities in the United States have sites ranging up to an indefinite space for growth. “My studies as chairman of a com- mittee of the Baltimore chapter of the American Institute of Architects brought us to the conclusion that a site should be found of upward of 25 acres and that all galleries of art hereafter planned should find accom- modation within its limits,” he said.

This record was made when they called the cards as another person looked at the deck. Telepathy might be at work in this arrangement. But these blind made a still better score when they called cards that no one had seen. For telepathy their average score was 5.69 correct calls per pack: for second sight it was 596 correct. In telepathy the packs were called 2,024 times; in second sight, 911 times. The Journal announced a study of whether luck, or the laws of chance, work differently with human beings than with the statistics on which mathematicians have based “laws.” No difference has been found yet, the Journa! stated. Children Also Better. Another experiment was reported showing that children possess the “second sight” ability better than adults. The children's superiority was given as about 20 per cent. The Duke experimenters have been told that possibly subnormal intelli- gence favors second sight. They tested this on 22 retarded children, No_superior second sight was found. Experiments were also made in dis- torting the symbols on the faces of the cards.
