Mr. Colona, delivered a brief
eulogy on the deceased emphasizing
the clean, noble and upright life liv-
ed by Fox IN the community here as
well as abroad. He reminded the
audience that the life OF a nation de-
pends upon the clean living OF It's

left behind them a legacy Of clean
and upright life in all things.
He spoke OF tho loyalty OF the
deceased and said that the sacrifice
he made was for the good OF the
nation. Mr.. Colona also said that
had Fox done as many others he
might have been exempted from
army duty and by legal rights as he
was entitled TO exemption being the
support Of a sister and a widowed
mother. and yet because OF his con-
scientious spirit and desiring to
shrink no duty placed upon him. he
nued out his own questionable with

permitted Madalynne to divorce him

loved her too much to stand in the

A Catastrophe Averted

Certain that death was at hand, these simple
minded folk rushed to the village priest for help
and comfort Two hundred of them knelt before
him outside his humble abode and tried to hear his
prayer for divine help above the thunderous voics
of the avalanche. AS he prayed, those villagers
will assure you, the roar degenerated into dis
appointed mutter, as if the genius of the ava
lance, having just buried the forest of Pourtoud,
had found discomfort in the loss there Of much Of
his substance. And as the priests voice became
louder in the diminution Of the avalanche's sound
the mutter died away to a rumble and the rumble
to a rattle and the rattle to mere scraping. And

When a Mountain Tumbles

Then came the first heavy storm of early win
ter with Boreas raging through the valleys and
roaring among the lofty crags of the Alpine
country. The great head trembled and shivered;
more stones clattered down the face Of the cliff
but still the King of the Alps retained his throne.
But, even as kings fall when their inconsequen-
tal people individually separate their affections,
SO this head fell at last, one Sunday morning a
few short weeks ago.
When a great man loses his head all sorts Of
things are apt to follow, sometimes anarchy,
sometimes only the Indifferent shrug of peoples
shoulder. But when mountain becomes decapi-
tated the result is certain-everything in the path
Of its fall must be demolished. Trees become
reeds. rocks become pebbles, rivers flowing unds-
turbed through the centuries in moment are

vide Directly in its path lay the Italian village Of
Pourtoud, quaint little hamlet nesting in the
lap of the Alps. The villagers heard the slide
coming, saw it coming, watching with staring
eyes and blanched faces as the thousands and
thousands of tons Of granite and ice and snow
cut down giant trees, dslodged great boulders
and levelled rocky eminences in its path which
had sat in grandeur for centuries. These added
their crumbled ruins to the destructive mass
rushing toward the little village.

To begin with, when considering the causes Of
