A man was riding on 1t one day, hundreds of feet up, when a fellow workman several feet above him suddenly fell. With amazing presence of mind, the worker below swung out on rope and caught him, saving his life. Just like circus stunt.
 A few people cheered the spec tacle, but 1t was all in the days work; most residents there now don't even recall the two mems names.
 FIRED FOR AERIAL ACT
 Two other men, really good amateur .trapeze artists and full of daring, did 8 little impromptu stunt on the cable hoist one day, as they were being lifted from the powerhouse to the canyon rim. Just risked their lives to give spectators thrill.
 But their boss calmly awaited them on the rim, paid them off. and told them they were fired"
 Most of the workmen wear metal helmets, similar to those of soldiers. One day Frank T. Grove, general superintendent for the construction company, was hit on the head by a rock that fell some 500 feet.
 Normally 1t would have torn right through his skull and brain. but he pointed to his helmet and smiled, That's why we wear 'em."
 Four workmen, deep under ground, suddenly broke a wall of rock one morning and let the water from the Colorado above them come rushing in. They were hundreds of yards from safety, and death gushed at their heels. One of the men, furthermore, was

It is not inaptly called "the best town in America" because through its federal management all unemployed, all buns, beg gars, and other undesirables are instantly escorted out. What a Utopia!
 The town might have been named Hoover City, because the dam itself was once called Hoover Dam. But circumstances does queer things with the popularity of hu- man beings.
 MAE WEST BEATS HOOVER A while back Hoover came to Boulder City, and-so the work CTS here tell-fully 200 people went to hear him talk. But when Mae West came in. 5000 men
 laid off work to join her audi ence!N
 Question Number 1 that tour ists at the dam ask is, How high is it?" The second usually is, What did it cost?" And the third is, Say, has anybody been killed on this work?"
 | Yes, somebody has been killed. Not one, but more than 100 lives have been sacrificed that Boulder Dam might begin render ! ing its incalculable service to humanity. But-the proportion of lives lost here is much less than on the average construction project.
 Boulder Dam is ust bigger than anything else of its kind ever attempted before. 1 TUMBLES zoo FEET; LIVES One poor man slipped and fell seven feet and was killed. But another workman lost his footing on a cliff edge, slipped, skidded, scrambled, tumbled, rolled, and "fell" a total of 700 feet, and kept right on working!
 Great cables cross the canyon l and drop hooks down 800 feet to hoist or lower machinery and men. Men dangle that distance out over the rocks with utter non- chalance, where one slip would mean death. On one lifting unit some wag has painted Flying Trapeze."

If you have yen for those stories of mystery thrillers packed with gore' You'll have noticed the artful dodger Who appears in quite score. He may be the dapper detective On the trail of the crime suspect But he moves so fast and furious He's devilish hard to detect. Locale: the heart of London As he emerges from taxlcab, Disappears around corner A slippery fellow to nab Slips into building neatly, Takes elevator right to the top, Promptly descends without accident By the stairway without stop Leaves building by back entrance Scuttles into a nearby pub, Out again turns right then left, Then enters a we'll known club. Reappears pronto makes for the underground Come up at ultra Bond street, Doubles back to where you first saw him, Oh. the sleuth is tough lad to beat!

Tuu-of-War Is Renewed on
Death of PiIsudski; Troops
on Guard in Warsaw

WARSAW, May 10 tI.N.S).
In a bereaved capital briStling
with armed preparations against
possible disorders, sorrowing Po-
lish statesmen today planned a
national funeral for their idol,
Marshal Josef Pilsudski, who died
yesterday at the age Of 81 after
q long illness.
Services probably will be held
Thursday, and at one. Of the most
critical moments in the history
Of Europe, the man responsible
for Poland's rebirth and an &C.
tive key figure in Continental
politics, will be laid to rest.
A tug-of-war Is expected to de-
velop with renewed energy be"
tween France and Germany to
capture decisive influence here,
but at the moment the entire ma
ton is occupied with honor1ng
its departed leader.
Plan Two Funerals
Pilsudski will be accorded two
funerals-the first in Warsaw and
the second at Cracow, where he
will be buried. Between now and
the day Of the services, the body
will lie in state at Belvedere Pa
lace, where his people and foreign
representatives will pay him hon.

Advices from all parts Of Poland
indicated the country was calm,
but adequate precautions were be-
ing taken. Flags were flown at
half staff and draped with crepe.
Troops remained in their bar
racks as officers, wearing black
armbandS, read to their regiments
a statement from President Mos
cicki announcing the dictator's
death. Messages Of coincidence
poured in upon Pilsudski's family
and the government from all over
the world.
Meanwhile, one of the most
dramatic testamentS Of recent
times, in which Pilsudski disposed
of his heart, brain and body, was
revealed in the following state
ment:
"A few years ago, in CONVEX
sation with those closest to
him, PiIsudski evidenced. his de-
cision concerning disposition Of
his body i'm case Of death. The
deciSiOn comprised several
points.
DISPOSAL OF BRAIN
First was special disposal Of
his brain-the marshal willed
it be given to science, thereby
demonstrating his sincere attt-
tude toward science.
Second, his heart was Spe-
