DOCTOR OWNS COAT OF ARMS
 OF MISSOURI
Pueblo Physician Bought Original Drawing Over
 40 Years Ago

Pueblo, Colo, (UP)-The orig inal drawing of the coat of arms of the state of Missouri is believed to be among the collection of old deeds, letters and papers owned by Dr W. G. Williams, here.
 The drawing, carefully executed in pen and ink, depicts sketches of Washington and Jefferson on either side of the bears which grace the present state seal of Missouri, and at the top is the legend, Future Capital of the United States"
 Two stamps, bearing a facsimile of the crest, also are owned by the doctor. He bought them 40 years ago, paying s125 each for them. He values them at present at $1,500.
 No estimate of value has been placed upon the original of the seal, but 1t is believed, should it prove to De genuine, it will be al most priceless.
 Dr Williams collection was started A years ago, when he came into possessio nof a letter written by Artemus Ward, the humorist.
 pr Williams also owns an order issued by Governor Brooks, Of Massachusetts, appoi nting Ward q lieutenant in the Third Cavalry, dated 1919.
 In addition to his collection on Ward, the doctor owns letters which crossed the plains on the , pony express. newspapers dated back to revolutionary days. and commodity price lists issued in | 1S31

 Under the schedule shipment from southwestern mills into the 20. O 000, ,O00-barrei consuming terr- tory of Ohio. Pennsylvania. Indi- ana. Michigan. Kentucky and West Virginia is on the same per mile basis as that from northwest ern mills.
 Under the rates in effect before the revision, the northwestern mills had a nadvantage of from two to ten cents per barrel.

COREY FORD TO
 GIVE RADIO TALK
HumOrist Is Scheduled for Wednesday Afternoon
 Broadcast

Corey Ford, the humorist. who especially delights in debunking travel stories, will discuss Max ing Africa Safe for the Africans in a radio talk to be heard over an NBC-WEAF network from 2:30 to 2:45 D. m., EST. Wednesday.
 MT Ford is alarmed about Afri- can explorers. "In every expedi- tion today that is an African expe- dition = and what expedition is not, -" he remarked, ''the in- trepid explorer invariably poses for a special brand of mattress, wrist watch, cold cream or yeast to which he attributes the success of his jungle trek.
 "The animals and natives have started scientific investigation to rid the jungle of these pests" he revealed. The author will tell about it in his broadcast.
 Ford, also known as John Rid dell," wrote of such wild adven- lures as revealed in "Salt Water Taffy" and contributes similar light fiction and essays to maga zines. He once grew serious about the exploring business, investigated the head hunters in Borneo, and returned unharmed.

ITALY TO REPAIR
 FAMED ROADWAY

Rome-Via Aurelia, the ancient highway which 2,000 years ago joined imperial Rome with Gaul. will be completely reconditioned and ready for use early next year from Rome to the French frontier, at tcording to Signor Pic Galletti, president of the state road board.
 The modernization of the. high way is one of the most spectacular of many remarkable schemes of the Fascist road board. Over the road on which thousands of Ro- man soldiers sweated on their marches to Gaul, tourists, next year, will be able to travel at un- limited speds with maximum of comfort.
 Via Aurelia was ancient Rome's coast route to the north, just as the Appian Way was the direct direct highway to Naples and southern Italy. For some time the road board has been actively en- gagged in resurfacing the entire road from Rome of Ventimiglia. on the French frontier, a distance of 430 miles.
 The Via Aurelia-and thus it will continue to be known because of Mussolini's desire to retain the ancient highway nanes-is the major link in series of trunk roads leading from Rome to every part of the nation.

WAR SCENES TO
 BE DESCRIBED
D. Thomas Curtin to Give Thriller Episode To-
 night

ehind-the-scenes drama of the great Russian retreat through swamps of the eastern front will be presented in another "Thrillers'' episode by D. Thomas Curtin, World war correspondent to be heard tonight from 800 to 9:30 P. M.. E. s. T., over an NBC- WEAF network.
 Curtin, who saw the war from both sides, will shift the scene to East Prussia. The episode, entitled "A Stranger in the Mill" will be laid on the edge of the famous Ma surian Lakes where Hindenburg made his great reputation by driv- ing Samsonov's forces into swamps during the battle of Tannenberg.
 Only two Americans got up with the German army in East Prussia during the Russian invasion in the first month of the war. Curtin, as rowing correspondent for London newspapers, was one of them. He unearthed so much f1rst-hand ma terial that General Hugh Scott, then chief of staff of the U. S. army, later invited him on a brief trip home to reveal his findings to the general staff in Washington.

 with the authorities at San Fran cisco and Monterey, secured a | half-hearted consent to establish an agricural and trading station on the Pacific coast.
 Following Rezanof's visit, Rus sian expedition, without asking
 leave of Spain, established a set- clement at what is now Fort Ross, | trading some trinkets to the In- dians for the land. Here was es- tablished the church, the gover- nor's residence, and facilities for farming and otter hunting. For several years, the Russians carried on their trade in grains and
 hides. But at all times, the Span- ish Californians watched with sus- | picious eyes every move of the Russians. The plan of the Francis can padres for spiritual expansion in California was completed when missions were built days journey apart from San Diego to San Fran cisco. To checkmate the Russians, the Spanish established missions across the Golden Gate at San Rafael in 1917, and at Sonoma in 1923.
 Steadily, the Spanish hedged in
 the Russians, fearful lest they at- tempt to establish Russian terri tory. Repeatedly, the Russians were ordered to leave. When Mex ico took possession of California, the Russian governor vainly sought a concession for larger territory. Failing in this, the Russians felt Ross by itself was not worth keep ing. and agreed to leave.
