Movshe Aksendrot Retires After Educating Chil-
 dren by Labors

WARSAW, July 3.-There is ex- citement among the beggars of Warsaw, comparable to those high moments when a king abdicates or an industrial overlord gives up his mastery of men and wealth.
 For Movshe Aksendrot, the news papers report, has sold his stand at the gates to the Jewish ceme- tery, station which for genera tions has been the property of an Aksendrot.
 There was Mavshes grandfather When he died Movshes father be- came a fairly wealthy man, it is said. But Movshe's father contin- ued to beg. At his death he left his oldest son very decent house. To Movshe, the youngest, went the stand" and some money.
 Movshe carried on the tradition. He educated his children. He lived as an honorable citizen.
 But one of his daughters, it is reported, could see no glamour in the old stand" could not apprec- fate the generations of effort which had made it a source of endless coins falling into her fathers out stretched hand.
 So Movshe retired. But first he called for bids and a fellow-beg gar paid $1,000 for the Aksendrot place of business.
 The number of beggars in War saw is reported considerably re- duced from the figure of 5000 es- timated last fall. Five hundred have been arrested, police report, and placed in "beggars' homes" where they must earn their Keep.
 Another 800 are reported to have fled to provincial towns to escape the threat of labor.

AMERICANA, EARLY

The United States in 1856 pro- vides the background for cork ing good adventure story with historical flavor The author IS Neil Swanson, who did good job some time back in ''The Judas Tree" His latest is "The Phan- tom Emperor" (Putnam) and there are Indians, marches through virgin forests and a grandiose plot by an adventurer to make himself ruler of the southwest through domination of the Indian nations.
 Needless to say, even in those adventurous days the scheme did not succeed, although the nucleus of an army was raised and became a menace to the countryside till the phantom emperor's" followers died or dwindled away and he himself disappeared from history.
 The author has followed the route of this army" and absorbed a. good deal of flavor along with his historical documents and such.

AKRON, O., July 3. - Enough cloth to make 20-inch ribbon reaching from earth Is miles into the stratosphere will go into the huge balloon in which two army officers hope to soar to that same height in June.
 On the flight the balloonists will entrust their lives to 300 gallons of rubber cement, for the balloon is being stuck together" instead of sewn, and not single stich of thread is going into it. The cemented seams are stronger than the fabric itself. Three acres of cloth, cut in strips shaped like slices of orange peel, are being nodded into the balloon at the Goodyear Zeppelin factory here.
 Largest Balloon
 When finished it will be the largest free balloon ever construct ed It will hold three million cu- bic feet of hydrogen gas, a capac- ity three and one-half times great CT than any previous free balloon and nearly half that of the Navy dirigible Akron.
 The balloon will be used on the National Geographic Society," Army air corps stratosphere flight on which Capt. Albert w. Stevens and Maj William E. Kepner will seek to attain new altitude record and gather much new knowledge of conditions high above the earth.
 The balloon will consist of B. 482 major pieces and scores of smaller fragments, all pasted to- gether with the greatest care with rubber cement, and the seams cov- cred on both sides with fabric backed rubber tape.
 Thin Spots Probed
 After it is cemented together air will be pumped under the sections of the bag and inspectors will look through it toward strong light to detect any thin spots so that they may be patched. All the cloth in the balloon has received 30 thin coats of rubber.
 Rubber cement will be used to attach the catenary band-from which the gondola will be suspend ed-to the balloon. This band con- sists of belt of heavy cloth with it's lower edge cut into 160 seal lops Hemmed into these scallops will be a small wire cable form

been locomotive engineer, con-

The chair is in the state peni-

already have gone to death in it.
But none went during the design

Before Walton was impeached
a scant 10 months after taking Of

intervene to save at least five
men from the piece of furniture
he had devised.
PARDONS CRITICIZED
Walton's use of the power of
