AS it is, the pressure sometimes is so great that
the valves break down and sometimes the walls of

veins lengthen ard curl. When they get into this

valves prevent its return.
Another cause Of Breakdown of the valves in these
veins is the increased of pressure from above
brought about by sraning by lifting heavy objects.
In men, yaricose veins are most common among

It's a Great Mystery

TT is easy to exaggerate the importance of the great
stamp mystery because regardless of the value
of the freaks souvenirs dishonesty was involved
and the public lost nothing Even the strange science
mania of philatey stood to suffer no damage but
rather, in the long rum a certain enrichment from
the creation of set of freaks identified with very
special and mildly scandalouS circumstances.
Mr.. Roosevelt's own acceptance of gifts from Mr.
Farley having the value of philatec treasures could
hardly be compared with the discovery of the name
of Calvin Coolidge on Mr. Morgan's famous preferred
list. There were understandable reasons why Mr..
Farley, admiring personal friend of Mr. Roose-
velt wished to give him few sheets of rare stamps
produced at extra cost to the republic in the
routine work of the bureau of printing engrav-
ing. There were no such reasons why Mr. Coolidge
as an ex-President of the United States and doing
very we'll for himself as a syndicated columnst
should accept favors from the house of Morgan.

CHIEF grinder was North Car
~ olina's dour Josiah Bailey.
In 1928 McNinch bolted Al Smith,
an act Bailey has never forgotten
nor forgiven. So for over an hour
Bailey harangued the Senate to
reject McNinch But when Sem
ator Burton K. Wheeler, Nc
Ninch's hacker, suggested a roll
call, Bailey practically fell over
himself in his eagerness to avoid
a showdown.
Another Jealous foe was Pat
McCarran.
The large paunched Nevadan
Nped TO the breastworks with
cry of "unf1tness" But what
was really eating him was the
fact that he had tried to prevail
upon McNinch to appoint a Nc
Carran henchman to a job. Nc
Ninch had turned him down.
Most hilarious of all was the
attitude of North Cardinals jun
ior Senator Bob Reynolds.
During his campaign he had
declared that if elected he would
fight for the retirement of Nc
Ninch. But as the afternoon wore
on, Bob sat in his seat, a silent
spectator, giving no indication he
desired to say word.
THIS was too much for Mis-
l. souri's Bennett Clark
Just as confirmation was about
to be approved, he rose and with
a great show of solicitude in
quired if Reynolds did not want
to give his colleagues the benefit
of his views.
Reynolds colleagues roared
with laughter. They knew it was
the last thing he wanted TO do.
However. he rose. And for the
next IS minutes he delivered one
of the most stirring orations the
Senate has ever heard-on the
beauties of North Cardinals

glories of its highways.

The federal men looked at the
ashes. Here was a button. Here
was a shred of cloth. On the shred
they trained their special micro
scope for textiles and found that
it was serge, obviously blue, such
as Adams had worn on the day
of his wife'S death. The button
they identified as one such as
those on the suit.
They believed there were blood
stains on the shred, stains of hu-
man blood, but the fire had
thwarted a chemical test.
Nevertheless, that was Private

Mrs. Adams apparently had bled
a good deal, for there were brown
stains-identifed as human blood

stains. Maybe, the &c men" spec

bleeding body damned across the

that to Adams.

He did not know that at that
minute a hand reached out from
a plain gray coffin and touched
him on the shoulder.

the case.

A HUNDRED million atoms placed side by side
L n would make one inch long. This would be
the if you used uranium atoms, the largest in
existence. If you used hydrogen atoms the smallest,
you would need 250000000 of them.
The distance between atoms in piece of iron at
ordinary temperature is Observation-Disclosures of
inch Yet modern scientists have instruments of
such great accuracy at their command that they
measure the distances between atoms in a piece of
iron with greater accuracy than surveyor obtain
in measuring the size of a field.
X-ray apparatus used in the metals research lab

Pittsburgh, will distances of the sort just
mentioned to accuracy of one part in 10000.
BY such X-ray measurements, metallurgists
solving the age-old riddles of metalurgy-why some
metals are more ductle than others, why some have
greater tensile strength, why in general alloys
tougher than pure metals and so on.
TWO words the keys to this story of metallurgy.
l. They are crystals and lattices
"As ordinarily SEEN" DR.. Robert F. Mehl director
of the metal research laboratory says metals do not
look crystalline, crystals do for example. But
when polished and treated with acid and viewed
under the microscope every metal alloy resolves
itself into large number of tightly packed grains
each grain single crystal in its right
This granular structure may be seen your brass

and thus worn by long handling, or on new galvan-
lied iron bucket where the zinc crystals easily

The X-ray in its turn reveals that each crystal il
built up of three dmensona lattice work Of atoms.
IL model OF Sucn lattice is bulIt, and then
turned about in the hand and inspected, it be
seen that the atoms arranged in sets of parallel
planes of atoms, some of the planes having many
atoms others having few atoms,' Dr. Mehl continues.
>HESE atomic planes serve to explain many of the
Il phenomena which take place in metals. When
crystal is deformed-and this is what happens to
metals when they rolled hammered-the crystal
changes along these atomic planes.
These planes become planes Of slippage' The
crystal defOrmed

placed with reference to another part
THE simple analogy of the act Of pushing deck
of cards from the side with the displacement Of the
cards by slipping is quite accurate" Dr. Mehl says
Now it is evident that if you bend deck of cards,
it is more difficult to dspace the cards by pushing
from the side And that Is exactly why metals are
hardened when they hammered or rolled.

But the special agents found a

midnight on the night of tragedy
a hot fire in the kitchen stove,

What the idea of fire in the

But low the American archi-
tect ir charge says that Russian
workmanship is not sufficiently
skilled to build the Embassy. And
the State Department is support
ing him.
The situation is delicate because
the United States Government
can not well go on record against
Russian engineers. At the same
time it can not proceed unless it
is sure the finished building will
pass final inspection tests.
One difficulty is that 50 much
ballyhoo has been given to plans
for the building that any failure
to proceed can not escape notice
in Russia.
All of which leads the State
Department nowhere, and is one

bullheads were not biting,
so two bored young couples,
fishing on the south bank
near Fl. Sam Houston, Tex,
could hear distinctly an

splash, they heard no other sound.
The girls screamed. Then the
men-sergeants from the military

coach, half submerged in the
creek, they found a fair, glazy-
eyed young woman, the wife Of

Within half an hour after the
crash, two significant discoveries
we're made.
First, the sergeants found the
coach had been left in second
gear with the starting motor run
ming which would have made it
possible for the car to drive itself
without 2 driver feeding it gaso-

Second, a Federal doctor, reach

ty minutes after the tragedy,
scrutinized the wounds on the
young woman's head. touched her
flesh, considered the degree of

been dead before the car rolled

minutes ago. maybe u.s. one of the
