Walls of Old Fort
Much Like Concrete

The remains of blacksmith's shop,
beautifully ornamented bracelets, OBJ
jects like napkin rings, and imple-
ments that might possibly have been
used for writing are among remark
able discoveries made in the vitriied
Dunagoil fort in the island of Butte,
on the west coast of Scotland. The
weapons and utensils date back to
from 200 B. G. to 100 B. G.
Sacks filled with bones of red deer,
the early Scottish OK, swine, and 9TH
er animals help to show what food
was eaten over 1000 years ago.
The walls of the fort were IL feet
thick, the interior being filled with
rubble or land-gathered stones. These
were covered with brushwood, and
the whole sealed up with clay. The
brushwood was then ignited.
The smothered combustion stopped
the stones from fracturing, but al
lowed them to become viscous and run
together, thus forming a kind of con-
crete of immense strength to which
the two dry-stone settings became
fixed. This was the forerunner of
our modern reinforced concrete and
cement structures.

City Life Tending to
Wipe Out Sex Lines

City life Is rapidly making women
masculine and men feminine, contends
a writer in Liberty. male and fe-
male created He them," the writer
points out, but the cities have all
tered His plan and more and more
are wiping out sex lines.
'The male and female work at the
same tasks" the writer explains, ride
the saline subways, drive the same
cars. play the same games, see the
same shows. More and more, there
fore, they think the same thoughts
and have the same feelings.
"Man is as adaptable to his environ
ment as a chameleon Is. The unsex.
ing of men and women through city
life is natural. City life softens men,
makes them shrink from discomforts,
standardizes their lives and thoughts.
City life hardens women. The first
ride in crowded subway train is a
shock to the natural modesty of girl.
"Cities are necessary in this COM
plicated modern world. The country
is the great restorer. Our dandifed
clerks and Office workers, restored to
the farm, quickly revert to shaving
every other day or once week, wear
ing old clothes, and stabbing across
the table with fork. In war the
counter-jumpers begin to sing bass in
a few months and revert to cave-man
tactics"

m MUD or dust, concrete or boards,
MI rain or shine-these make no
~ Il difference to young Frank
Lockhart, of Los Angeles, who today
at "a is the fastest automobile driver
in the United States, if not in the
world.
Few motorists, even of the harden
ed professional racers, have had the
varied experience Of Lockhart, who
has driven on almost every kind of
track.
His best record-and he is after
more-was set ON dry lake bed at
Muroc. near Los Angeles, California,
last April when he whirled over the
alkah sands at 171.02 miles an hour
figure comparable to that of Major
f. o. D. Segrave, the Briton, who
drove his Mystery Sunbeam" at
203.79 miles an hour at Daytona
Beach. Florida. Major Segrave holds
the British record, of course, and
Lockhart the American.
Previous to Lockhart's feat, the
best American record was established
by the intrepid Tommy Milton, who
a few years before he retired whizzed
along at 1864 miles an hour at Day
tona Beach.
What makes Lockhart's figures more
remarkable than even Major Segrave's
is the fact that the American used a
car with a displacement of only 91.5
cubic inches, as compared with the
displacement in the Englishman's ma.
chine of 1900 cubic inches.
Rain likewise holds no terrors for
Lockhart for racing fans recall that
he won the Decoration Day race on
the indianapolis Speedway last year
In driving rainstorm. So Sudden was

the deluge and so dangerous did the
track become that the Speedway Off
Gals Immediately cut the usual 500
miles down to 400 miles.
Lockhart, driving without RELIEF
shot his tiny car around the brick
track 100 times at an average speed
Of 94.63 miles an hour and finished
five miles ahead Of his nearest rival
Harry Hartz, also Of Los Angeles.
Then he followed up that victory by
running first on last September 18th.
at the Altoona Speedway, with speed
of lit miles an hour. He interspersed
those two notable winnings by captur-
ing the Charlotte, N. c., race on Au.
gust %, with an average speed Of
1904 miles per hour, faster than
either Of the other two races.
For some time Lockhart was I'M
disgrace" with the American Auto
mobile Association for taking part in
dirt track competition, most of which
he won handily. He had considerable
experience on dirt tracks and in 1924
he ran first in the Thanksgiving Day
race at Ascot Park, Los Angeles.
His most notable recent victory this
year was in May when he drove his
machine 147.729 miles an hour at the
Atlantic City Motor Speedway. 1t es-,
tablished a new record for board
tracks.
In the following month, just to show
his versatility, Lockhart won a dirt
track at the Michigan State Fair
Grounds, on June 5. The track had.
been treated with calcium chlorideI
and it was dustless, firm and, as]
Lockhart explained later, ideal in
every respect for automobile racingI

Colleges Discriminate
Against Labor; Tests

Swamped with applications, col

east are using class, race and creed
as bases for discrimination against
thousands of applicants.
Applicants who come from work
ing class families, who are Negroes
or jews. or who are known to be ra
dical are regarded as particularly
undesirable by registrars and
barred from universities. By devices
like references" which are required
at many universities, and by per

have been barred.
Definite limits have been placed
upon the number of Jews allowed to

INDUSTRIAL LOAN
in SOVIET union
is BIG SUCCESS
100,0O0,000 Roubles Are
Raised in First Week

Especial Cable TO Daily Worker).
MOSCOW, Oct 9. Turnout the
q. S. S. R., during the past week,
large public subscriptions have been
raised for the Industrialization Loan.
All layers of the population Of the
Soviet Union. particularly the toiling
masses contributed to the success OF
this loan whose object is to promote
Soviet industry.
In all factories, the wokers created
committees and organized collective
subscriptions. Facilities were pro
vided for the payment by installmeuts,
and thus rendered possible for huge
number of workers to subscribe sums
larger than their monthly incomes.
Enthusiastic Response
Characteristic of the enthusiastic
spirit Of the workers of the Soviet
Union, the response yielded nun
bred million roubles-a half Of the
total loan.
The enormous success of the loan
is declared to be the best refutation
of the lies Of the CAPITALIST class re-
garding the economic crisis" in he
U. s. S. R., and the Failure Of the
present loan. At the same time it
also testifies to the absolute conf
dence of the population in The Soviet
government as well as the peoples in
terest in Soviet industry
The results of the first week Of
subscription. to the loan also proves
that the Soviet state has at its dis
posal considerable money reserves
from economies realized by the toiling
masses as a result Of the higher stan
dard Of the workers life here

Police Unable to Solve
Explosion on Saturday

Police have failed to arrive at
solution Of the mysterious bomb ex-
plosion which killed 4, injured II, and
demolished q four-story building at
4l6 West 35th ST., late Saturday after
noon.
The most plausible explanation Of
fered was that the bomb was placed
as a result of trade war. Justifica-
ton for this theory is found in the
testimony of an Italian barber located
in the building who said ne had many
enemies and had received numerous
threatening letters.
Thwarted in their attempt to solve
the mystery, police have again re-
sorted to the worn-out subterfuge that
: was the work of ''terrorists."

Right Wing
Seeks Insurance
Fund Of Workers

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Efforts to OBJ
tain possession Of the unemployment
insurance funds Of the cloak and
dressmakers are being made by the
right wing clique of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
The Sigmanites have promised the
bosses that if they help them obtain
these funds they viii allow the manu-
facturers concessions at the expense
of the workers in the shop.
The right wing spokesman have ap-
peared before Judge Harden, trustee
of the fund, to demand that he turn
the money over to them.
J. Levine, manager Of the Joint
Board, was present when the demand
was made. He told Harden that if
the money was given to the right
wing it would be used to engage
gangsters to beat up progressive
workers who were on strike against
the union-wrecking tactics of the Sig
man crew.
Levine then demanded that the
money be turned over to unemployed
cloak and dressmakers. The right
wing was not pleased at the sugges-
ton, not being interested in the well
fare of the rank and file workers,
Wanted to Give Them Money.
The trustee proposed that the money
be given to the right wing and the
surety bonds be given to the Joint

Paris Demonstration
for SaccO and Vanzetti
Despite the Government

PARIS, Oct Thousands of
French workers paraded before the
death masks of Sacco and Vanzetti
on the outskirts of Paris this af-
ternoen in silent tribute to the two
murdered workers. The masks
were fastened with black and red
drapery on special stand erected
at st. Ouen Cemetery.
The demonstration was held in
spite of the French government
which had attempted to forestall
it by routing Miss Vanzetti's spe-
cial car, containing the ashes of
the two workers around Paris to
Mondane on the Italian border.
