Five years Of experimentation, with
testing at various navy yards, have
gone into the product. which Is de-
signed to prevent workers from being
subjected to silicosis. A patent ap-
plication is pending, Biggs said.
Made on the order of wartime

vention weighs only 43 ounces, about
half that of the appliance now in
ordinary use. 1t is adjustable to all
types Of faces, the safety engineer
explained, and the worker is isolated
from any source of air supply other

Mans Innate Heroism

Whatever we may think about the rights or wrongs of the struggle in Spain, all of us can at least recognize dogged human heroiSm when we see it. And as the correspondents at last pick their way over the ruins of the Alcazar fortress in Toledo and tell what they saw there, we have to realize that here, once more, has been retold the great story of the way ordinary human beings can set their teeth and take a beating. There are times when life suddenly turns into melodrama; when men are thrust into positions where there is nothing to do but to hang on tight and take the worst that can happen in the way of pain, hard ship, danger, and death.
 Their lives resolve themselves into a struggle btween the human spirit and the gathering darkness; and as the struggle goes ahead we suddenly discover that death is only an incidental thing, that to endure and to be dauntleSs is to win a victory that defeat and the grave can not affect So it was with the English at Lucknow, with the Texans at the Alamo, with the Light Brigade at Bala- clava, and with Lees exhausted army at Petersburg; and so, too, it seems to have been with the rebels in the Alcazar..
 Eleven hundred fighting men went into the Alczar When the rebel troops finally fought their way into Toledo and raised the siege, 90 of these men had died, 58O had been more or less seriously wounded, and 57 had vanished. There had been 52O women in the place when the siege started. Two died and nine were wounded; two gave birth to children during the fighting.
 The defenders had quantity of grain, 07 horses and 27 mules, and a chest of medical supplies when the siege started When it ended, one horse and five mules remained (the rest had been eaten), and the doctors had one bottle of chloroform and one bottle of alcohol left of their supplies. During the siege the assailants rained $500 shells and 4,000 bombs and grenades on the castle. They made eight direct attacks on it, raided it by air 30 times, threw 200 jars of inflammable liquid into it, and set it afire 10 times.
 For n days the defenders had crouched in underground cells and burrows, fight ing and sleeping and eating and fighting again in a dreary, heart-breaking, end leSsly monotonouS round. Those statlS- tics sound dead and dry, when you write them down. But they do give us the outlines of an epic of endurance and solid, undramatic courage which deserves to be remembered.
 For struggles like this one tell us more about the spirit of man than a while volume of ordinary annals. They remind us that there is something utterly uncon- querable in this blind, selfish, and ire quently ignoble descendant of the angels; that he can, on accession, look death in the eye without trembling, fight in the dark without a qualm, and hang on grimly when the last shadow of hope seems to be gone. With all his faults, he can be a great guy when the pinch comes. Can we learn that lesson too often?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-06

This may be National Fire Prevention week, World Series week, or perhaps Cleanup week, but it is also Madison Avenue week down in New York city. The avenue is celebrating it's one hundredth birthday. Originally the avenue ran from brief number of blocks as in com parison to it's length today, and the ave- hue at about forty-second street was con- sidered uptown. The year that the ave nue was opened, our fourth president, James Madison died, thus the name as well as the square at it's foot. It was originally street of fine residences; it still boasts some, one of the outstanding ones, the residence ofe Patrick Cardinal Hayes and the Cathed-al property run ming through to Fifth avenue. Many noted hotels, the medium sized exclusive type, are on this avenue, as are no end of small shops for ladies costumes, art and decoration shops, flower, bakery and fine grocery shops. It also boasts many pub lie buildings and the Manhattan Club, the city's leading democratic club in 1865. Madison avenue has seen many changes since it first became an import ant artery with it's select Murray Hill, which was the territory between thirty fourth and forty-second street.

Continued from Page One.

So we went up. Al always had Suite 2021 at the Biltmore dur ing the campaign, and I went in the bedroom door because there were a lot of callers in his sit- ting room.
 Al was on the wire talking to the editor of The New York Sun.
 ''If you don't retract that islander about me and the milk racket" Al beloved, you'll have a libel suit cracked down on you that'l knock your presses onto the pavement"
 "That cOnvinces me-" says Raskob. 'That's all want to hear." a,. Old Pals
 Meanwhile Jim Riordan, head of the County Trust company, tried to kick us out of the room. So I showed Jim into the bath room and explained that this was the head fo General Motors and the duPont Corporation.
 It don't make no difference" said Riordan, i've don't want him in here."
 However, I finally got chance to explain who Raskob was to Al, and he stuck out his hand as if he'd known Raskob all his life.
 Hello, John," says Al.
 It wasn't long before Raskob wanted to know if Al needed money for his campaign, and wrote out a check for $50,000.
 "I'm running for governor, not for president" says Al, lock- ing at the check.
 What's wrong with it?"
 "TwO things. It's got to be made out to the democratic committee, not to me, and sec- Ond $5,000 is all the law allows"
 So Raskob tore up the check and wrote another.
 High Finance
 Next morning when Jim Rior- dan had walked up to who Ras- kob was, he came round to me and said:
 Eddie, your friend has $3,- 100000 of General Motors and duP0nt money on deposit in New York city. If I can get him to put it in the County Trust company, my bank will jump from $2,0OO,Q00 bank to a $5,0OO,000 bank"
 So I saw Raskob and he made the transfer. He also transferred the deposits of the General Mo- tors Acceptance Corporation so instead of becoming a $5,000,000 bank the County Trust jumped to nearer $10,000.000.
 AL WAS THEN MADE CHAIR MAN OF THE BOARD. THAT
