Tests have proved that when a
parachutist jumps from a plane
he falls the first 500 feet in Ga
seconds; in 10 seconds he will fall
1000 feet; and at the end of Il
seconds he will have dropped 5000

Chariot in Romans Grave

Over $3.50 years ago a Roman
chieftain, noted for his magnificent
chariot horses and his daredevil
driving, was killed. They buried
him with his chariot and his three
horses so that he should never be
separated from them. Now his grave
has been uncovered in the course of
excavations at burial ground at
Agria, near Venice. The skeletons
of the horses, two of which were
buried harnessed to the chariot, are
well preserved. -

other explanation would be that a
person with sickly, greenish COM
plexion showed the effects of fear
or jealousy. The color yellow has
denoted envy, Inconsistency, faithless-
ness, and thus ,cowardice. In some
countries people have daubed the
doors of traitors with yellow, to
show their contempt. The terms
"red with rage" and "purple with
passion" indicate the observed eff
fects upon the complexion, of ex-
treme anger or passion.

Labor

Republic Steel corporations Tom
w. Girdler has never been soft
spoken. Last week he stormed
Washington and in one fell swoop
denounced % John L. Lewis c. I.
o. for violence and intimidation"
(2) the National Labor Relations
board for "abridging freedom of
Speech" and (3) Sen. Robert M. La
Follette's civil liberties committee
for keeping its work "one-sided."
Behind these blasts was last
years Little Steel strike. Ready
for release was an N. L. r. B. de-
cision finding Republic guilty of
unfair labor practices" in the Lit
tie Steel fiasco. Ready, too, were
orders for Republic to reinstate
5000 c. I. o. strikers, and to dis
establish alleged company-dominat-
ed unions.
That Republic objected, is to state
the case mildly. In its 136-page
brief were GIG exceptions. What
Little Steel most wanted was a
chance to state its opinion of c. l..
o., a chance the labor board
seemed unwilling to offer. Thun-
dered the report: "We contend the
National Labor Relations act, as
construed in this connection, is
unconstitutional as abridging free
dom of speech"
Next day Tom Girdler carried his
fight to the civil liberties commit
tee, climaxing a three-week probe
of last summers bitter labor strife.
Flaring up before Senator LaFol-
lette's quiet, relentless cross-exam-
nation, he proved no humble wit
ness. Denied was the right to read
a statement criticizing the commit
tees work as "one-sided," and de-
claring it would be only fair to probe
G. I. O.'s records to show what was
being done with a $1,500,000 steel
workers fund.

had with Helen. He had even, in the total absence of all emotion, told Terry all about Helen. He was not in love with Terry. Yet she understood him.
 "You must have loved her terribly, Joe" she told him, Sweetly and solmenly. Terry was not all effer- yescence and childishness. T guess man loves that way only once in his life-and only one man in a dozen even once, that way. It's something to be proud of and thank ful for. even though it hurt you so. Because it's perfect and nothing can ever make the least mark on it. Don't you feel that?"
 He did, in the end. But he had a thought, difficult thought. Perfection was not for any every day man in workaday world. \ A man who has known perfection once is ready to die. There is nothing left. He told her that, gropingly.
 "Oh, but there isl" she insisted | She seemed TOT an instant to nIL her bright eyes up to an ever shining vision There's so much left. I've never had anything, but always kept thinking of all I was going to have someday. Don't you ever think of home all your own, where everybody and every thing there is all yours and you can love them and nobody to stop you? Babies all your own ." She looked at him. Think of that!" she said.
 He thought. Those things were lovely. But they were not real. They were only scenery on stage from which presence was gone and where a voice was stilled.
 T don't know" he said It'll all work out. But quit thinking about things, any kind of things, long time ago."
 She laid her face close to his, her cheek touching his; her hand strok- ed his face gently. Poor darling" she whispered to him.
 No, he was not alone.

be rid of her and in a way that would justify them utterly. It was against nature and yet there 1t was!
 It caused a reaction in Joe Mur- ray. It set him to thinking. A man begins to go about with a girl, and pretty soon people smile and take matters for granted, and first ih'ng you know they are married, whatever they may have thought in the beginning. That was right enough. But here he was going about with a girl, and her family were thinking of marriage in their own twisted way other people probably drew their own conclusions as well
 His own people. He had long stop ped talking about Terry at home. Terry had long stopped dropping in. There was certain tension at home; they dared not broach per- sonal questions, but they were thinking, and he could feel it. They were like any family anywhere, jeal- ous and particular. They did not think so much of Terry as wife for him. With that family the best the kid had, you couldn't blame them. They wanted fine, proud, beautiful girl for him, somebody with substance and importance and cleverness, who would at the same time adore him madly and manage him coolly and expertly, saving his money and running his home and mothering his babies. His, mind you! How hopeless their dream!
 He could never make the grade with a girl like that, even if so miraculous a person did happen to want him. He might try. But he would fail. She would be too much like Helen. When he thought of falling in love again, of choosing himself such a fine, proud, beautiful wife, he only thought of Helen, and the other faded to nothingness.
 And what would they have made of Helen, if he had brought her to them? They called her "Polack." Not now, but once they had "Polack!" They new nothing of the pitiful endearment in that word. They knew nothing of the beauty he had almost, almost pos sessed. They knew nothing about the happiness, the suffering that came after happiness, the quality and power of his dream. They did not know anything about him. He was alone, among friends, among kin.
 Except for Terry. That was a strange thing. He was not in love with Terry. She did not stir him; he never felt brutal and tender with her, darkly, hungrily, as he

TWO years ago a tense Egypt
 mapped extensive border for tifications in the face of rising in- ternational discontent and Italian arming in neighboring Libya.
 Mersa Matruh, which became a large military post during the An- glo-Italian tension in the Mediter- ranean over the Ethiopian War, was re-fortified, special anti-air- craft batteries were laid out for the Nile valley, and Alexandria was placed under the constant guard of the powerful British fleet.
 But now the barbed-wire bar riers which were laid in the coun- try of the Pharaohs do not loom as significant since Great Britain and Italy have reached a treaty oS friendship" For under this treaty Italy has agreed to reduce her Libyan garrison 50 per cent, thus lessening the tension of Egypt.
 The British air force in turn has been sharply reduced along the 550-mile parched border. Peace seems to have come once more to the land of oases. A cur- rent. Egyptian stamp, showing an airplane in flight over the ancient Pyramids, is shown here.

flelders ever to perform In local

mildly happy over the dramatic
battle he unraveled in last nights

Twice in the first round and once
again in the second Steve was bat
tered to the e anvas by Earl Haynes,
an unattached welterweight. Referee
Eddie La Fond hesitated about al
lowing Steve to continue. but
Thompson M miraculously staged a
comeback. Suddenly he found the
range and rain ed leather of Haynes
head and body.
The situation was altered. With
Haynes whiting, Steve pumped stead
lily and viciously. Finally, La Fond
stepped in and stopped the scrap as
Haynes hung heiplessly and Steve
had registered a technical knock
out in 2 minutes Is seconds of the
