AROUND THE TOWN with Several prominent Minneapolis women (and don't ask us their namesvet) have to contribute columns to The Star. These women are prominent in varied activities in Minneapolis. Included in the group are social leaders, members are the best clubs, world travelers, style experts and A University of Minnesota student. For the most part they are neophytes as columnists. si These columns are uncensored--so let the quips fall where they may, The following column was written By THE LORGNETTE LADY A Minneapolis society woman who is (1 member of the Revelers' club, social organization of young married women from Minneapolis and St.

One has only to visit the children's ward of the General hospital to see real tragedy. A charwoman, after hard day's work, descending the stairs, her eyes blinded with tears; a couple who haven't left their place on the stairs for four days, their three year old dying after a mastoid operation.

She showed me a picture of the child, laughing and healthy and wearing clothes she had carefully tailored. It makes one realize the sad balance of life. We hope Leon Barzin is here to stay. He has vitality, musical feeling and the confidence of his orchestra and audience. We do think the first movement of the Berezowsky symphony (played Friday night) was lousy, but it was that before he attacked it.

The Brahms First symphony more than brought the evening up to par, and as for Helen Jepson's gown, moulded to fit the most drastic model of the most ultramodern corsetiers, it cast about her a most distinct virginal aura. We had it very straight that Helen's sense of humor cannot accept gracefully the pedigreed (if there is such) rabbit she is forced to carry for publicity purposes. We suggest, as something more trite, a boa constrictor. Once a week it might kiss or playfully caress her neck Our Eugene Ormandy must be depressed to see Barbirolli definitely swaying the musical world. Unknown until this year, the New York Philharmonic, after two months under his (Barbirolli's) leadership, signed him up for a three year contract.

In view of the fact that the Philharmonic's policy for years has been Toscanini inter. spersed with other great conductors, it is a drastic step. No one can fail to realize that he's a genius. A composer, he is also simple enough to use a score. We still have a picture of Heifetz when he played the Brahms concerto here last spring, nervously agitated over Mr.

Ormandy's conducting without his marked score. The audience felt it, as must have the orchestra.

SPONSORS WANT PARLEY ON PLAN FOR CITY CHIEF Civil Service for Police Head Meets Opposition at Meeting By BEN HOLSTROM Staff Writer for The Star An invitation to a "get together" discussion of the proposed charter amendment to put the chief of police under civil service, was issued to organized labor today by the Junior Association of Commerce. This move came after the proposal was officially laid before the charter commission at a hearing Monday at which opposition developed from labor representatives.

Call Plan "Fascism" Some opposed the idea of a chief with permanent tenure as cism." Others said the city's voters would never accept it. Still other labor leaders thought they should have more time to study it. S. H. Gainsley, a member of the Junior Association of Commerce, said: "I am a liberal, and I am for this amendment.

If I thought there was the slightest thing in it to injure labor I would oppose it." Among opponents was Mrs. Blanche McIntosh, member of the last grand jury, who said she spoke for a Farmer-Labor women's group. It was with the expectation. that labor's objections to the plan might be resolved that Arthur B. Geer, chairman of the association's municipal affairs committee which prepared the amendment, ed a round table discussion.

Geer reiterated that his organization had been actuated by no political motives whatever in advancing the proposal. "The single motive for presenting this program has been efficient police administration." he said. "With our present system of changing chiefs virtually every time a new mayor is elected, sometimes oftener, there can be no continuity of policy, and demoralization always follows a change in chiefs. Minneapolis has had seven chiefs in nine years, and the average tenure for the past 30 years has been only 2.3 years." ments on the amendment, the referred char. ter commission Monday the proposal to its research committee for investigation to report at 2 p.m., Jan.

28. At that time Thomas E. Latimer and Chief of Police Frank P. Forestal will be asked to appear to tell their views. Chief in Civil Service The amendment, as outlined by association representatives at the hearing, provides for the selection of the chief of police by the civil service commission which would conduct an examination with the assistance of three carefully chosen police authorities.

After a six months' probationary period, the chief could be removed only for cause and after a hearing before the civil service commission. The amendment would fix the chief's salary at $6,000 instead of $5,000. Walter Frank of the Lathers' union declared: "This is a move to remove the chief from politics and therefore from scientific government. No one would suggest taking away the command of the army and navy from the president of the United States. I think cism is concealed in this attempt." Joe Pease, business agent of the Machinist's union, said he opposed the proposal "because anybody in an executive position should be OK'd periodically by the people." "This is a move to change a strategic part of city government into a permanent setup that will have nothing to do with city government," asserted Hillard Smith, secretary of the machinists' union.

R. D. Cramer, editor of the Labor Review thought "it not only puts the chief of police under civil service but also greatly enlarges the power of the chief as a. possible enemy of labor. However, we want more time to study it." Gainsley Defense Gainsley then got up, and "as al liberal," defended the amendment.

"I do not question the sincerity) of the representatives of the unions who have spoken here, but I suggest that they give it more study." "Would you be willing to limit the powers of police in time of labor trouble?" Carl Schmidt the flour, feed and cereal workers asked Gainsley. "That might be a good suggestion," Gainsley responded. "Labor should bring in its proposals and see if they would not fit into the proposal." Viewpoint of A. H. Urtubees, president of the Central Labor I Un- ion, was that "the rank and file of the labor movement must be sold before this can be put over." He also suggested that more time should be given to study it.

Neil M. Cronin, chairman of the commission, said "everyone will have all the time he wants to discuss this proposal." After the close of the discussion, A. C. Godward, commission member, moved to refer. the question to the research committee.

Wife Frightened as Cops 'Nab' First Careful Driver CHIEF FORESTAL, E. V. CLARK, CAPTAIN BAKKEN only doing his duty E. V. Clark Wins Free '37 Plates Given by Star All right, all you youngun's from 16 to 40, here's a man no longer in his "teens," 67 years old, to be exact, who steps right up and takes the first 1937 license plates given by The Star to the "outstanding careful driver of the day." The first winner in The Star's latest effort to cut the toll of careless driving is E.

V. Clark, 4127 Lyndale avenue N. To him go 1937 plates with the compliments of The Star. Officers on Lookout Two more of plates will be given this week, and three more next week. Traffic patrolmen are on the "lookout" every hour of the day for careful drivers.

Mr. Clark maintained he wasn't frightened when the patrolmen tioned him to pull over to the curb at Douglas and Lyndale avenues, but Mrs. Clark, who was riding with him, exclaimed, "Edwin, what have you done now!" She should have had faith, though, for Mr. Clark has been driving for five years and never has received a tag. Chief Calls Personally Mr.

Clark had hardly arrived in Captain Bakken's office, when Police Chief Forestal called and askto congratulate personally the first careful driver. "I don't know why I should be congratulated," the careful driver said. "I was only doing my duty." When presenting the license plates to Mr. Clark, Chief Forestal declared The Star's effort to encourage careful driving was a splendid movement and deserved the co-operation of every driver. List His Record Here's how Mr.

Clark won his 1937 license plates. Excerpts are taken from the full report of Patrolmen John James and Iver Swanson. "He drove an average speed of 18 miles an hour for the streets were in very slippery condition. "He made A complete stop for the school sign at Eighteenth avenue N. and Lyndale.

"He came to a complete stop for the Stop and Go sign at Plymouth and Lyndale avenues and did not start until the sign turned. "He drove the whole route well to the right side of the street and at a safe distance from other cars." Through more stop signs and more school signs, through the bottle-neck at Hennepin and Lyndale, the patrolmen followed him until their report was completed. A timely piece of advice comes from Captain Bakken for those who would prevent accidents while streets are in bad condition: "Use good judgment and always be prepared for the condition of the street ahead of you," he warned. Take his advice. Be the next to win free license plates.

Drive carefully! Girl's Spending Spree Results in 'Tummy' Ache Three royal "tummy aches" were all the punishment needed by a 13-year-old Minneapolis girl, who took $200 her mother was saving for spring clothes, and two boy friends out for a "terrific" spending spree. The 12-hour escapade included four movies, cigarets, candy, gum, double orders of chow mein, milk, hamburgers, pop corn, peanuts and root beer. When she ended up in jail, the girl had $180 left and a "tummy and the boys -police aren't certain-but they are willing to bet the boys are also groaning in bed. After midnight the boys couldn't keep up with the party and left the girl waiting in front of a Washing. ton avenue shooting gallery.

She waited until half-frozen. then started for home, sneaking in about 2 a.m. "I don't care if I never eat again," the girl admitted to detectives after refusing all food in the matron's quarters. CITY LOTTERY PROPOSED FOR SCHOOL FUNDS Plan to Seize Dormant Deposits Also Discussed A municipal lottery scheme and seizure by the state of unclaimed deposits in banks today had been advanced as new sources of revenue for the financially pressed Minneapolis school board. Proposal for a lottery by school director Jay F.

Gould provoked the most comment, but the suggestion by director Arthur LeSueur to claim dormant bank accounts appeared to be more feasible in raising revenue for the present year. Claims State Lags LeSueur said that Minnesota lags behind other states in now permitting banks themselves to appropriate the deposits. He thought the length of time which must elapse was 10 years. "Here are a good many hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be added to state funds and distributed to the schools," LeSueur said. "We might get $700,000 a year out of that fund." Dr.

Charles Drake, another board member, objected that bank deposits always belong to the depositor, no matter how long they go unclaimed. Would Lapse 16 Years LeSueur replied that the depositor could always put in a claim to the state, which would not use the funds until after 16 years, according to his plan. Use would require action by the legislature. The bank deposit plan and the lottery scheme were both referred to the school board's finance committee, which will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. to consider three legislative bills to raise more revenue for Minneapolis schools.

Gould said: "There isn't a day in the year passes but 1,000 to 5,000 Minneapolis citizens don't purchase tickets in the Irish or some other sweepstakes. You can say what you want but you can't beat human nature and human nature likes to gamble. I'm in favor of keeping some of this money at home." Endorse Ryan Bill Striking in another direction, the board endorsed a federal bill being prepared by Rep. Elmer Ryan of South St. Paul which would pay $25 annually from federal funds for each school pupil enrolled.

At the same time, the board opposed the Harrison-Fletcher bill for allocating federal funds to schools on a supplemental aid basis. EQUIPMENT MEN SEE GOOD YEAR Dealers Report Business Best Since Before Depression Minnesota farm equipment dealers have just completed their best year since before the depression, and 1937 prospects are for a further rise in business, delegates to the thirty-third annual convention of the Minnesota Implement Dealers association were told at their opening session today at the West hotel. Reports on the year's activities were made by M. J. Nehring, Paynesville, president, and John A.

Buxton, Owantonna, secretarytreasurer of the association. "Most retail implement dealers sold more farm equipment in 1936 than in any year since the depression, despite the drouth," Mr. Buxton said. Agricultural income in 1936 exceeded 1935, and farmers enjoyed increasing buying power. Prices were well above the cost of production.

There is promise of an even more successful season in 1937 with hand labor on farms being replaced more and more by power." Farmers are in an excellent position to increase their volume of buying this spring, Mr. Nehring said. Pen Points By DR. FRANK NELSON Church Editor of The Star In spite of all that is being said, the world is better than it was a century ago. There is a marked difference between what we have done and what we intended to do.

Cecil Rhodes made this comment at the close of his life: "So much to do. So little done." Every idea that serves human betterment becomes a part of the co-operative forces that seek to improve the conditions of life for everyone.

Skis were invented and first used on the Finnish-Lapp border. In fact, the people there were called "The sliding people" and the word Finland, according to our correspondent, is a nickname derived from "Finen" which meant sliding. Still another angle brought out in the same communication is this--many students claim that Longfellow's "Hiawatha" is an Indian version of the great Finnish epic, "Kalevala," which Longfellow read in A German translation. The locales (Minnesota and Finland are almost. identical), the plots, the meters are strikingly alike.

"Don't," the writer warns, "refer to Finnish folk as We resent the appellation."

EXCLUSIVE in The Star 2 FAIR-TRADE BILLS OFFERED State Senate Given Measures-Follow Congress Lead By LEWIS C. MILLS Staff Writer for The Star Two fair trade bills, similar to the Robinson-Patman act passed by the last congress, headed the list of a series of bills introduced in the state senate today. The bills, offered by Senators A. O.

Sletvold of Detroit Lakes and James A. Carley of Plainview, provide for agreements between manufacturer and seller regarding the minimum price at which a patentled or trademarked article may be sold, and prohibit give-aways or combination offers. The second bill proposes to amend the anti-price discrimination law, making it applicable to retail dealhers as well as manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors. Other Measures Other bills include three workmens' compensation measures sponsored by G. T.

Mullin of Minneapolis and Patrick L. Farnand of Hibbing. One would make workmen's compensation mandatory for all except farm laborers and domestic servants, and a companion bill would require insurance companies to issue policies upon application and payment of premium. "Bad risks" would be required to be accepted as well as good. The third bill proposes to enlarge the scope of the occupational disease section, making all occupational diseases that arise naturally from the employment compens- able.

Election Date Bill Senator A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota introduced his bill proposing to eliminate small employers from the terms of the unemployment law, by reducing the coverage to employers of eight or more. Another bill, by Senators Val Imm of Mankato and W. B.

Richardson of Rochester, would change the state primary election date from June to Sept. 15, to eliminate the long period of campaigning from June to November, Senator J. L. McLeod of Grand Rapids offered the first of a series of administration bills aimed at the iron mining companies, proposing to increase the assessed valuation of mining properties from 50 to 60 per cent of full and true value.

A total of 32 bills was added to the senate grist.

A momentary flareup was 00 casioned by a motion by Senator C. A. Hauseler, St. Paul, that the senate request the secretary of state to send up the lists of appointments since the last session by the late Gov. Floyd B.

Olson and former Gov. Hjalmar Petersen, Senator C. N. Orr, rules com mittee chairman, objected, sug. gesting that Gov.

Elmer A. Benson should first be given an opportunity to submit the lists. Hausler withdrew his motion but warned he may renew it in a few days. Rules Adopted Hausler's interest in the appoint. ments is understood to be in Wik liam Mahoney, former St.

Paul mayor, as liquor control commissioner. The senate adopted permanent rules for the session, after a brief debate on a motion by Senator George Lommen of Eveleth to amend the section calling for appointment of committees by a committee and restoring this right to the lieutenant governor. Senator A. O. Devold of Minneapolis, a liberal, opposed the motion, explaining that the "reactionaries" were all on record anyway, and nothing would be accomplished by putting them on record again.

The amendment was withdrawn. MRS. E. A. CRANMER DIES AT HER HOME Mrs.

Emma A. Cranmer, national woman leader in the campaign for both the women's suffrage and prohibition amendments to the constitution, died at her home, 2431 Hennepin avenue, following a brief illness.
