appearance being not unlike the Chi
cago & Northwestern station at Chi
eago. Twenty-three railroad lines
enter the new building. the architect
of which is Charles 8. Frost. One
of the delights OF the station is the
provision for checking, not only Of
baggage but of babies.

AS to history:
It's all wrong, son!
Queen Isabella never put the royal
Jewels in soak to aid Columbus in
his trip that resulted in the discov-
cry Of America.
Ponce de Leon was looking for a
slave mart when he explored Florida:
a fluid that contained perpetual youth
was farthest from his thoughts.

The Liberty Bell wasn't cracked on

All these, and many other his
torical legends that have been taught
school children for century and
fhat mark epochal events in the dis
covery and development of America,
are all bunk
Leastwise that's the way Thor,
M. Marshall, professor of American
history at the University of Colo
RADIO, characterized these beloved tales
OF Americas early history in

Prof. Marshall quoted numerous
historians in upsetting the generally
