STRATEGIC BASE IN DANGER

PEIPING, Sept. 24.-The Japan ese Army is reported here to have completely surrounded the strategic Chinese base at Paotingfu, 80 miles south of here and an ultimatum has been issued to the Chinese army to surrender or be annihiliated.
 In the midafternpon, the. Japan. csc announced the Chinese defend CTS had been driven from the north south and west gates in fierce hand to-hand fighting. The Japanese are said to have taken over the three gates commanding entry to the city and just IA minutes later began pushing in through the first break in the walls of the city
 Achievements
 The Japanese are bringing ur tanks and heavy artillery to support the infantry attacks.
 Paotingfu is the capital of Hopeh Province and if the Japanese have been successful in capturing the city it likely means, according to observers, that Chinese resistance in North China has been broken and probably means the signal for con- trol by the Japanese of the. whole region. The cty's population is about 100000.

There was barely time to exchange
her house dress for a street frock so
she might run down to the corner to

Alexander Graham Bell
Among Worlds Greatest
Inventors

Who are the twelve greatest Amer
lean inventors Who are these men
of genius, considered in light of the
value of their work for the present
time?
These questions were answered by
a committee Of scientists chosen at the
recent celebration of the Centennial of
the American Potent System held in
Washington, D. C.
Heading the alphabetical list of the
twelve chosen was Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor CT the telephone, followed
by Thomas A. Edison Of the incandes-
cent lamp, talking machine and other
fame; Robert Fulton, first commercial
steamboat; Charles Goodyear, vulcani-
cation process for rubber; Charles
Martin Hall, aluminium manufacturer;
Elias Howe, sewing machine; Cyrus
H. Mccormick, practical reaper; Off,
mar Mergenthaler, linotype; Samuel
F. B. Morse, telegraph; George West
inghouse, air brake; Wilbur Wright,
airplane, and Eli Whitney, cotton gin.
Dramatically beginning the honor
roll call with the name of the tele-
phone inventor, the voice of the indi-
vidual making the announcement came
to the assembly hall by radio tele-
phone from transport airliner in the
sky overhead. Another thrill for the
audience was hearing Edison's voice
from a record he had made on one of
his machines. Morse's first telegraph
message was also sent from Baltimore
to Washington-the same route it
travelled ninety-three years ago.
Sixty-one years ago, on March z,
1875, the fundamental patent for the
telephone was issued to Bell. Follow
ing this basic invention, he made many
improvements. A host of other tele-
phone pioneers, following in his foot
steps, continued to improve and adapt
the telephone to one purpose and an
other. The work of research and de-
velopment is carried steadily forward
today by the scientists of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories in New York
City.

Through the Clouds and
in Time for Christmas

THE plane, "The Betsy Lee"
had climbed to 10000 feet. The
Il man at the controls peered
through the misted glass at the
dense bank of clouds ahead. He
had already encountered one squall,
and there was a coating of ice on
the wings.
Should he turn back, and take the
train that would get him home too
late for Christmas? Then he thought
how disappointed Lucy and the kids
would be. Christmas without Dad
dy. He squared his jaw and mutt
tered: "Bill Parker, you're no quit
ter; Betsy, we are going through"
He grasped the stick with steady
hand as the bank of clouds doomed
closer, and plunged into them.
The wind tore at the plane, caus-
ing it to zigzag crafty and it took
all the strength of Bills iron mus
cles to prevent tailspin. Rain and
hail fell in torrents, with an occa-
sional flash of lightning piercing the
inky darkness.
"What a storm to fght!" II he
could climb high enough he might
get above it. The roar Of the en-
CINE answered, as he opened up the
throttle, and the plane began to
climb. Twenty thousand feet, the
instruments registered. The storm

calm, moon-silvered night.
