Agriculture Sec retary Wallace spoke at that hour on "Matters of rarest National Importance." HOME INDUSTRY Since one of the major problems of Industrialized Brooklyn Is what in the world to do with a backyard if you have no child or pet animal to put In It, something of a bow should be made in the direction of Alfred Klttel, who lives on Nostrand near Tllden. AT. Klttel began with a fondness for Japanese gardens. Last Summer he grew posies in his backyard, and sold them, with the aid of a small sign outside his house, at three cents apiece.

His Ideas were hinted in the form of academic theories. Consequently, only the schooled technicians In and out of his audience at the Academy of Political Science, Columbia University, may have caught the full force of what he appears to have been driving at. Piecing it together with Mr. Wallace's latest depressing book and his other recent speeches, the economic experts have concluded that Mr. Wallace is NEW YORK CITY, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1935 Brookljn Dili, Sl'le) rl 'Q.

It may be known, for convenience, as the Wallace plan. rJSORY The way the economists condense the The trouble with Industry is that it is protected by unnatural tariffs and monopolies against natural bors to use their backyards and thereby become the only large-scale florist, so he claims, to raise his own goods in Brooklyn.

He said: "The backyards around me have good soil. I've made all arrangements. Between the soli, the neighbors' co-operation and my ability, we'll raise thousands of flowers. Ill sell them for three cents apiece, and the neighbors will get cut. Maybe some day IH control many, many blocks of backyards." It all sounded very rosy and sweet-smelling.

We wondered how Mr. Klttel had gotten into all this, found that: "I came to the United States as an artist seven years ago, turned to making Japan ese garaens and fish bowls because it paid better than painting. Then I turned to flowers. Believe me, that's the best thing I've hit. You see, I can make a barren backyard look like a heavenly garden In Just one year.

I'm not boasting. It's just a gift." We decided to go around again next 8pring and see how the backyard industry was developing. production and natural prices. During depressions Industrial prices do not drop appreciably. Only thing that happens is that production tops, causing unemployment, until manufacturers can again get their desired price.

The AAA tried to protect the farmer against that system by also limiting production and by maintaining an unnaturally high price for his products. But that system is wrong for the farmer as well as for industry. Men in White, on the Double-Quick What should be done is to create a free -flowing system for both. Everyone would then be required When It's a Matter of Life and Death, the to produce continuously. Thus everyone would also buy continuously.

Products would be sold for whatever they would bring, except that there would Agents of Mercy Are Always the johnnies-on-the-Spot, Whether It's a Fist Fight Or an Accident on the Corner be a celling beyond which they could not be lifted.

So the talk had gone, Joking but CAMILY GROUP It may interest you to know that there is no name prefix "Mc" in the Irish language.

There is only "Mac," and no one round here knows more of such things than Patrick S. MacDwyer, Brooklyn lawyer who lives at 111-50 117th Richmond Hill. We talked to him and his wife other day. Mr. MacDwyer, connected for many years with the Corporation Counsel's office, was born in County Donegal, emigrated to Schuylkill County, married, came to Brooklyn, now has five children.

And we're going to give a picture of the family group, because it strikes us as representative and noteworthy. Mr. MacDwyer speaks without trace of brogue, sounds and looks much like a Philadelphia lawyer or Hudson River squire. He has behind him service in the Spanish War and on the Mexican border. He's proud of the fact he spoke, wrote and read Irish before he learned his first English word.

And he's retained knowledge of his first medium of speech. We learned with surprise that the gentleman was the father of Robert MacDwyer, whose death came as such a shock to all who knew him three years ago. He died Just before he was to go to Poland with the Crescent Club hockey team to represent this country in the Olympics. A daughter of the MacDwyers, Patricia, now Sister Edmond de Bernard, has just arrived in Nyasaland, Africa, to do missionary work.

The ambulance doctor quickly cleaned up the wound, replaced the handkerchief with a clean bandage. The man was helped into the ambulance, and relaxed on the stretcher.

It was Interesting to go back to the beginning. The call started with someone phoning police headquarters. At police headquarters a man put a pencil on a map and selected the nearest of 17 Brooklyn voluntary hospitals with ambulances. A call was put through, on wires always clear, to Jewish Hospital. The operator quickly switched the call to the hospital garage, a place with potted palms and floors painted green and blue, and with three sleek monsters of mercy, one navy gray, one tan and one white, waiting in stalls like fire groping theory can be fully guaranteed.

But the alacrity displayed at the White House in moving to prevent a repetition of the German steel incident was hardly in line with the Wallace theory.

In thermos bottles in wicker containers to rlgbt and left of the mirror gurgled hot coffee, useful in case of a fire call. There were also containers of bandages and adhesive tape, things like tannic acid for severe burns when the raw flesh hangs in strips and must be cut off with tweezers.

Official comment was not offered, but there was some pri vate comment indicating a light-hearted attitude.

One caustic associate of the President suggested that the famous radio star might have been fish diers. We wondered what Italian soldiers were doing so far down in Africa, learned they were being sent there by Duce on a pleasure trip. Seemed to us we'd heard this Italy was taking a war in Ethiopia seriously. We must have been wrong. 31ster Edmond, now 24, wanted to be a nun ever since she was 15, studied under the Sisters of St Joseph, then at the Lady of Wisdom Academy, finally entered the Canadian order, and is the first American ever to have been accepted for African service by that group, a French body.

The Sister will be in Africa at least ten years. Her parents are reconciled to the fact that they may never see her again, as sometimes nuns work ing in Africa, for the most part with leper colonies, elect to stay there permanently, never returning. Daughter Jane, with whom we talked, is about 20, pretty, soft-spoken, intelligent. She is atout to become an actress with the New York Troupe, which is trying to simulate the system used in for mation of the Moscow Art Theater. We asked her why she hadnt wanted to become a nun, too.

She said: "Why are your eyes blue?" That settled that, we thought, but she added: "I truly believe that God Is in the theater as much as in the Church. There is work to be done everywhere." Jane told us that people in general have a bad habit of looking upon stage folk as being strange and apart. We agreed, said being an actor was almost as bad that way as being a reporter. One of Jane's brothers, Patrick, is studying for the priesthood, was manager of the great Ford-ham football team of 1930. Another sister is Mrs.

In front of an open door, the ambulance stops. The patient Is rushed to the emergency room, stitches are taken in his head, he is given tetanus antitoxin and a rest. Later he goes home. The doctor attends to other duties, the ambulance driver returns the machine to the garage. At Jewish Hospital, which happens to be the largest Institution of its kind in Brooklyn, nearly 5,000 police calls are made each year by Its ambulances.

That does not include private calls. New York City does not have ambulances enough of its own, and allows $4,750 a year for each ambulance of the voluntary hospitals which It uses in this way. As a rule, police cases which must stay on in the hospital cannot pay and the cltyvallows $3 a day for them. ities do not regard Father Coughlln with as much terror as at this time last year.

He has used his stock phrase, "semicolon lawyers of 24-Hour Service the New Dealers," in every speech since the memory of New York newsmen runneth not to the contrary.

Their memories will rush back to earlier film days when Alice Joyce, the patrician star, was a prime favorite. The resemblance between mother and daughter is that strong. And yet, Alice Moore, 19, looks like her father, too. He is Tom Moore of the brothers Owen, Tom and Matt and still active in pictures. Alice Moore is Hollywood's newest bride and contract-winner.

The marriage contract is with Felix Knight, the movie one with Metro. Knight, a handsome young concert and radio singer, played the lead in the movie "Babes in Toyland" and In the same picture Alice Moore played the Queen o' Hearts. It was a year later that she went to Yuma with Knight and assumed that role in his life. Little Girl Grows Up Five years ago a group of us at Nell Hamilton's beach place met, among others, a chubby little girl in short dresses and socks who stayed shyly In the background.

It was fast enough, dodging past stilled traffic, with that curious swinging motion to left and right, and with the siren in one's ears. It was fast enough, even for a "hurry" call.

That it was not faster was due to the policy of the executive director of the hospital, Jacob Bass, that there was no sense endangering the lives of 10 persons in the street, trying to aid one person further on.

CNCOUNTER It has been written in fiction several hundred time, we suppose, but this is an actual story, and we know the principals. About two years ago a young Brooklyn couple, socially prominent, decided on divorce after four years of what had been Judged by outsiders as perfectly happy married life. They were awfully careful about not bumping Into each other after the split, frequently both refusing to go to this or that party in fear of meeting the other.

So for two years they dldnt as much as see each other. Both are attractive and popular, and many friend tried tenaciously to get them to meet other people, play bridge, attend parties and the like. Well, a few weeks ago the former husband was Invited to visit Manhattan people for dinner and bridge. He accepted, was told the girl they were asking was lovely and such. It was his wife, of course.
