enormous facade follows the
curve of the square. Its VIM
dows are triple lighted, and the
center Of the building is tower
a wonderful Gothic structure:
In contrast is the more tlorlo
Palazzo Piccolomini of the Re-
naissance period in which are
kept the state archives, records
of the whole history of Sienna
from the time it was an Euro
pean center.
But all the glory Of the
palaces fades when contrasted
with the Cathedral of Sienna.
It is impossible to convey in
words, tithe Of the beauty
of this edifice with it's marble
facade marked by lace-like
decorations, it's golden mosaics,
it's interior of black and white
marble. In the church is
the famed Piccolomini library
where Pinturicchio, in the six

Sienna
If you have ever visited the
glowing city of Sienna, you
surely can vouch for the truth
of the legend inscribed over the
Porta Camolia, the main city
gate. In substance the inscrip-
ton announces that Sienna
opens it's heart to you even wider
than it's doors. To linger a
while in this lovely city, indeed,
is to be EMBODIED in it's mythical
charm and loveliness. Walking
through the winding red streets
lined with palaces Of the old
lords, visiting the marble cathe-
dral, strolling through the Pa
lazzo Publico with its wonderful
collection Of paintings, is to
catch something Of the past
to partake of its serenity and
beauty at it's best.
Beautiful Buildings
The Camo, or principal square,
is lined with some of the most
beautiful buildings in the world,
including that gem Of Gothic
architecture, the Palazzo Pub

Scientific Dream

DR.. Andrews has two sons
who are being educated at
Oxford. He has a casket
full Of decorations from gov
ernments, universities and
scientific societies. His life
has been one long, thrilling
adventure, and he knows
more good stories of far
places and strange people
than almost anybody who
walks the good earth today.
He likes polo, good talk and
detective stories, and will
lose himself in a crime
thriller not really half so
exciting as any one Of 20
adventures he himself has
had with Chinese bandits
and arrogant Chinese gen.
erals, or fighting sand
storms and wild tribesmen
in the Mongolian deserts.
Some men spend their
lives pursuing gold or fame,
or riding the highhorse Of
hohbv. hut Row Chairman
Andrews has given more
than a quarter Of a century
to pursuing a scientific
dream, a will-o-the-wisp Of
humanity, the secret Of
mans origin.
When he finds it, as he
is certain that some day he
will do, he will be able to
tell us how closely related
we are to the apes, if re-
lated at all; whether or no
we ever lived in trees in the
dim and misty ages OF a
hundred million years ago;
why we are like what we
are like and do what we do
as human beings, not as
tailed or tailless monkeys
and apes.

In some lines Of production
it means a degree Of perfec-

But in most lines required
speed also is a necessary fea-

This does not mean that you
