ATLANTIS TALE
CONFIRM LOST
Disappearance of Lost Con-
tinent Now Believed
BY the French
FIND SUBMERGED PEAK

Paris.-French believers in the
existence of lost continent, At
lantis, have been greatly encour-
aged by the announcement that the
French ship Ampere has discovered
a submerged peak in the Atlantic
in the region Of where they think
the lost continent had been.
Paul lie Cour. director of the re-
view Atlantis and founder Of the
Friends Of Atlantis society, has left
for the Azores, where he is study
ing the possibilities raised by the
Ampere's discovery.
1t is his belief that the conti-
nent which sank below the level of
the sea existed In the neighborhood
Of the Azores at point in the At
lantic where there Is a submarine
plateau surrounded by ocean depths
which 60 down both on the Euro
pean and American sides to 6,O0O
meters (19,6SO feet).
Mr.. lie Cour was not at all dis
mayed by recent reports to the
French Academy of Sciences by
Professor Chevalie1 of the Museum
Of Natural History that his botani-
cal studies in the Cape Verde is
lands gave proof that no lost conti-
nent had existed near there.
''This only confirms that the site
of Atlantis was elsewhere" said
Mr.. lie Cour in an interview before
he left. I'VE have always main
tained that the Cape Verde is
lands, the Canaries and the Ma
deira islands could not have been
colonized by the inhabitants of At
lantis. The ocean plateau which
includes the Azores marks the spot
where Atlantis seems to have been.
Already numbers of legends, myths.
traditions and geological, botanical.
linguistic and oceanographic proofs
for this theory have been collected
by our society.
1T seems certain that lost CIV
ilization existed, and that either
European civilization was carried
to the Americas through the inter-
mediary of the lost continent or
else the lost continent was the
birthplace OF civilization and its cul-
ture spread to the rest of the
world"
Mr.. lie Cour said that In some
ancient writings the inhabitants of
Atlantis were referred to under the
name of Ethiopians, and that in
Pliny's text Ethiopia was called At
lantis.

Discover Mummifed Body
of Man in Mammoth Cave

Mammoth Cave, Ky.-The num-
mified body of man, perhaps one
thousand years old, found in the
Mammoth cave here, was the sub
ject of intense interest among not
ed Psychologists.
Grover Campbell and Lyman Cut
lift, cave guides, discovered the
body on 30-foot ledge of the cave.
The man had been caught on the
ledge by the fall of four-ton rock.
Marks of an implement near the
base of where the rock had been
indicated the man had been digging
under it when 1t became dislodged.
Near the body was found torch
made from reeds bound with
grasses. 1t still was sticking near
ly upright in the sand. Among the
crude implements found was a dag
ger-shaped limestone rock believed
to be a weapon.
The man wore a loin cloth Of
fiber. 1t was well preserved. The
mans stone spade was near his

REVIVE ARCTIC
ISLAND STORY
Soviet Fliers Sight Peaks
North of Siberian
Coast
MAY SOLVE MYSTERY

Moscow.-Discovery of a noun
famous, uncharted island in the icy
wastes of the northern coast of ST.
IBERIA was reported by the Soviet
airman Maslenikov, during a flight
from Cape Schmidt.
The report, wirelessed to Mos
COW from Dixon island, said the
aviator believed the island to be
mysterious Andreyev's land, the ex-
istence of which has been debated
for two centuries.
Maslenikov made two flights over
the mysterious Arctic island, lying
northwest of Cape Shalaurov, he
reported. The center is a valley, he
said, surrounded by mountains.
Commander Otto Schmidt of the
northern sea route department ex-
pressed belief the aviator may have
mistaken an ice formation for land.
At the same time uncertainty sur
rounded the plans of Sigmund
Levaneffsky and his two compan-
ions, forced to turn back to Lenin-
grad when oil trouble developed
during their projected transpolar
flight to San Francisco.
Although there had been no Off
cial Information concerning the
plane since it landed near Lenin-
grad, it was generally believed the
flyers would return TO Moscow
shortly. direct repairs and prepare
for a new takeOff from here.
A new wrinkle in aviation-thp
parachute balloon"-meantime was
tried out successfully near Moscow.
Pilots Modestoff and Lisoff scared
1860 feet in the balloon, expelled
most of the gas in midair. and land
ed safely.
simultaneously with the escape
of the gas and the consequent de-
scent of the balloon, the underpart
of the bag is designed to fold up
ward in such a manner that the
bag gradually takes the form of
parachute.
The balloon. of 1850 cubic me-
ters, was invented by Tikhon Ku-
linichenko.

Dwindling Bird Species
Find Protected Haven

Yellowstone Park.-Three species
of North American birds which were
rapidly nearing extinction are find-
ing a protected haven In Yellow
stone National park. Such were the
findings Of Mrs. @. n. Edge, New
York, chairman of the emergency
conservation committee, after a re-
cent inspection trip in the park,
which covers some Of the remote
and carefully guarded haunts Of the
three distinctive birds.
Most precious Of all is the trum-
peter swan which has in recent
years found in Yellowstone almost
the only safe waters for nesting
and rearing its young. Mrs. Edge
found that under the protective
guardianship provided by the ma
tional park service the adult
swans and their cygnets are thriv-
ing and on the increase.
The huge white pelican is an
other rare bird receiving encour-
agement TO thrive and increase un-
der the parks protective policy
Third species is the handhill
crane, the gawky, long-legged, long
necked bird who looks like the
stork's nearest cousin. They find
the river through the Firehole ba-
sin most attractive for feeding and
nesting.

The Trials of a Physical
Examination

"A notice is brought to the door
by a messenger stating, "All those
who expect to enter physical ac-
tivities this year please report to
the nurses clinic today" We inn
mediately become nervous and be-
gin to ''giggle." At last we are
told by the teacher, whoever it
might be, that it is our turn and
we leave the room on our way to
what might be our doom, judging
from the expressionsson the faces
of the pupils who have returned
However, we soon learn that it is
nothing to be feared.
We enter, the clinic and see at
once the doctor sitting in the mid
die of the room. After we have
prepared for the examination the
nurse then takes our pulse. We
are then told to sit on the stool
that has been placed in front of
the doctor. He first examines our
throat and, after a couple of "ah's"
on our part, he turns us around in
preparation for examining our
dorsal side. After numerous
thumpings he presses on our ribs
and tells us to say ninety-nine sew
eral times. Next we have to
Whisper one, two three about six
times. He then tests our heart and
the greatest part of the examina-
ton is completed.
To stand, and jump up and down
fifteen times is the next ordeal.
Then, after our pulse has been TAX
en- again and we are pronounced
all right, we leave the clinic and re-
turn, greatly relieved, to the class
room so that we might give one of
those sly glances, which seem to
SAY you don't know what you
are in for, to the next patients.

The Value of the School Library

AS we all know, the library here
at school is used for study hall.
Some students think that is the
end of it. With the exception of
reading a few books a year fer
book reports, they do not read any
books, magazines, or news papers.
The lack of reading material can
not be used as an excuse for not
reading because last year, when
the new school was completed, we
were given new books, and this
year we are expecting more. The
librarian has asked pupils if there
were any books they would like to
have bought for the library. There
is no reason why everyone should
not read at least twenty books
during the school year.
Not only does reading afford us
many hours of amusement and en-
joyment but it is also valuable in
enlarging our vocabulary and max
ing us familiar with different kinds
of people and life.
We can further familiarize our
selves with people and life by read
ing magazines, of which we have
a large collection. We are priv
ileged to take one out over night.
Out of group of between twenty
five and thirty magazines each
month, each person certainly
should be able to find something
interesting and beneficial to him
self. For this reason all maga-
zines are valuable to us.
Because of the reading material
we have in the library, the stu
dents of the school should take
more interest in reading.

SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY
Told By L. L. Stevenson in
His Own Immical Way
of Doings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

Maybe you've heard of Harold
Pfeger, who, since last November
has had IA blood transfusions. That
fourteen-year-Old's fight for life has
been grim business indeed. But he
has refused to take it that way. SO
the doctors and nurses of New York
hospital are strong for the cheer
full, game youngster-SO strong in
ded that they desired to do some
thing more for him than called for
in the daily routine Questioning
developed the fact that the one thing
in all the world he wanted was
a dog. AS a matter of fact, he
had even picked out a name, Terry,
for the dog he hoped some day to
own.
In a short time, Harold's wish
reached the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. 1t
came at just the right moment, too,
because there was waiting at the
animal hospital at Avenue A and
Twenty-third street, a dog that
needed a boy-a stray wire-haired
fox terrier with a tan face and
white whiskers. The dog wasn't
transferred to Harold-that couldn't
be done because of hospital rules
so his brother acted as his repre-
sentative. Then with Terry, the
brothe. went up to New York hos
pital.
Harold was waiting. His bed is
five floors above the street, but
those doctors and nurses pushed it
close to the window and he could
see his brother and dog walking
slowly up and down on the side
walk below. Every afternoon, there
is that same parade. Maybe it was
that last TRANSMISSION and maybe
it was the dog. At any rate, a tel
ephone message TO the hospital re-
veals the fact that in a very short
time now Harold will be well enough
TO go home.

TEMPERANCE TALKS
By Lucy Smith Guseman
CLAYTON, Delaware

AS l lie on my bed of pain 1
keep thinking thinking of the
dear boys and girls and what
wonderful men and women they
will make if they will only live
right. Then my thoughts wander
back to the time when l was a lit
| tie girl in log house among the
West Virginia hills. Oh, what day.
i dreams | hodi | never expect to
see that house again. But 1 often
think of the happy times we had
eight Of especially during the
long winter evenings as we roasted
chestnuts by the big, old fireplace
where our only cooking was
done or read by the candles that
mother made-the only light that
we knew
As time passed on l wanted some
place to keep my treasures and one
of my brothers made little wood
en- box for me. In it / kept a
glass marble, a string of buttons
and several pictures. The picture
I priced most highly I had cut out
of an old almanac. 1t is hard to
describe although it is as plain in
my memory as if it were yester-
day. It was picture of an OLD
house with one window Across
this window was a shelf on which
rested several bottles of different
sizes filled with some kind OF
liquid. Over the door was a small
board on which I could spell these
words BEER AND Wills
KEY" but in my childish mind
they meant nothing to me.
The door was open and Just in
side stood well-dressed and
smiling. Quite contrast to the
ragged, pitiful looking man who
stood on the doorstep with little
girl holding to his hand. She was
poorly dressed and barefooted, al
though there were two inches of
snow on the ground, and was gaz-
ing up into his face with a plead
ing look which I shall never for
get. did not know then what it
meant. Underneath the picture
were these words
Father, dear father, come home
with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes one,
You said you were coming right
home from the shop
As soon as your days work was
done.
Our fire has gone out, our house is
all dark,
And mothers been watching since
tea
With poor brother Bennie so sick
in her arms,
And no one to help her but me.
Father, dear father, come home
with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes
two,
The night has grown colder and
Bennie is worse
But he has been calling for you.
Indeed he is worse, Ma says he will
die
Perhaps before morning shall
dawn,
And this is the message she sent
me to bring
Come quickly, or he will be gone"
Father, dear father, come home
with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes
three,
The house is so lonely, the hours
are so long
For poor weeping mother and me.
Indeed, we're alone, poor Bennie is
dead
And gone with the angels of light
And these were the very last
words that he said,
Il want to kiss papa good night :"
Hear the sweet voice of the child
As the night winds repeat as they
roam,
Oh, who could resist this most
plaintive of prayers
PLEASE, father, dear father, come
home"

The Use and Duties of a Nurse in
Our School

We all know that a nurse is very
important in everyday ife; thus we
see how important one is to our
school.
Some of the duties of a nurse
are: to teach sanitation to all pu-
pills in order that they may be
aware Of diseases, to care for the
injured when hurt in gym classes
or elsewhere, to advise the sick, aid
the doctor when examining pupils,
visit homes and advise sanitary
methods, and go around to the low
er grades and help them to under
stand how very important it is to
have the thorough cleanliness.
In order that the smaller chill
dren may have better health. and
know sanitation, a nurse is needed
to help advise.

Breaking Myself of a Bad Habit

1t has been said that we are
liked or disliked on account of our
habits. Often times we do not
realize having these habits until
someone tells us of them.
One of my most outstanding
habits is using coarse language
whenever anything goes wrong. I
have had this habit ever since I
can remember and have never
really tried to overcome it. When
ever I get irritated or, as is often
said, something has crossed my
path usually such words as
gosh" darn it," heck" "dog-
gone it." etc, escape my lips and
! think nothing Of it.
One time one of my closest
friends said why do you use those
expressions They don't sound
like you?" I considered it a joke
and laughed it off, but now I see I
am wrong and for the sake of my
friends and own pride I am de-
termined to break myself of it.
