is that this is the beginning Of the
restoration Of the monarchy in
Russia, with the young Grand Duke
as the monarch-under reliable
pro-German hetman until he gets
the hang of the job. The first move,
according to this story, would be
establish Vladimir as the ruler Of
the Ukraine.
The Grand Duke Cyril, father of
the pretender, was cousin of Gar
Nicholas II. He announced his claim
to the Russian throne in 1924. He
died in the American Hospital in
Paris october II, and November
his son proclaimed himself the En-
peror of Russia, in an eloquent and
fervid document, in which he pledged
just rule and the restoration of the
virtues and glories of old Russia to
his subjects.
Since then the Ukrainian 1ibera-
ton movement has been boiling.
The young man, personable youth,
is said to have the undivided sup
port Of White Russians everywhere,
which his father did not enjoy. His
late mother was the Duchess Vic
toria Feodorovna. She did not join
the Greek Orthodox Church until
after her marriage There was
criticism of the marriage and Cyril
did not have undivided allegiance
among the Russian emigres. His
son, however, Is a devout member of
the Orthodox Church and is said to
have a much more compact fol-
lowing.
He was an undergraduate at Lon
don University when his father died,
described as a somewhat preoccupied
youth with a mystical absorption in
his responsibilities as the ruler of
Russia. The jeweled family sword,
revered as was King Arthur's
snickersnee, was stolen from the
Hammer Galleries in New York in
1884.
Since the young Grand Dukes
November proclamation there has
been tremendous campaign in va
rious countries, including the United
States, in behalf of the "50000,0O0
oppressed and enslaved Ukrainians, :"
who would carve out a new state.
1t is possibly significant that, with
Vladimir's ascendancy, there be-
gan both the worldwide agitation
and Hitler's drive against Memel,

TORPEDOES.

Robert Fulton, a portrait painter
studying in England, recognized the
Importance Of steam driven ships in
the development of an American
merchant marine. He abandoned
art to invent the first commercially
successful steamboat. Then he
turned his attention to a defense of
the fleet in time of war.
Alter years Of laborious effort, and
at great expense, he designed sub

nit a given spot at q given time.
American statesmen were not par
ticularly interested.
Fulton demonstrated his invention

from my knowledge of those noble
men" wrote Fulton, "and their sen.
tlments on the subject, can predict
that they would feel much disposed
to respect the rights, nor enter the
wars, of a nation who should use
such engines with energy and ef-
feet"
The use Of torpedoes was not gen.
orally adopted until 100 years later,
when Germany, in her submarine
attacks on shipping during the
World War, combined the torpedo
with the submarine boat. Then its
terrible power was felt.

How Fast
Do You
Walk?
Watch and Knotted
Cord Will Tell
Your Speed

Here is very simple method of
telling how fast you walk.
Take a piece of thin string, say
80 or 100 yards long. To one end
tie weight. This weight can be
piece of lead or other metal or
even stone. Tie a knot exactly
"A feet from the weight and con-
tinue putting knots A feet apart
until you come to the end of the
string.
In one hand take a watch with a
second hand In the other hand
hold the string with the weighted
end on the ground beside you. Now
walk along at an ordinary pace
allowing the weight to remain
where it was placed and the string
to run through your fingers as you
walk. The number of knots that
pass through your hand in half a
minute are the same as the number
of miles you can walk at that pace
in an hour.
Here's the explanation of this sim
pie pedometer. Forty-four feet is
1/120th of mile because there are
$3.50 feet in mile, and if you divide
$3.50 feet by 100, you will get A feet
Half minute is I120th of an hour
because there are 60 minutes to an
hour. Then, since half a minute is
1/120th of an hour, and A feet is
1/l2oth of a mile, you are able to
walk 1/120th of mile just as many
times in 1/12Oth of a minute as you
can walk mile in an hour.

Bu JULIA YARNALL, 13, {

By JULIA YARNALL, 13, of 470l
Connecticut ADe. NV.
There's an old d-fashioned house on a
hill far away,
With a stream flowing calmly before;
'Tis beautiful place, where the
humming birds dwell
And the roses climb over the door.
It is built of huge stones and Is
many years old,
'Tis the loveliest sight ever seen,
And the quaint little windows are
charmingly draped
With the ivy so shining and green.
BY the side of the creek is a moss
covered path
In the shade of the old elm trees,
And the flowers that bloom by the
old whitewashed gate
Send their fragrance aloft to the
breeze.
There's dear little garden in back
of the house,
Where my grandmother played
when a child;
'Tis a place with such charms that
they can't be expressed,
Though the country around it is
wild.
In this garden of memories she
walked in her youth,
Plucking violets that bloomed in
the spring,
And the sweetness and charm that
they gave to the air
Put new life in the songs she
would sing.
But this old fashioned house and its
garden so bright,
Where the odor is always SO sweet,
Are surrounded by forests of lovely
old trees
And by fields that are golden with
wheat.
And this heavenly home all the
artists adore,
lis place where the hummtng
birds stay,
And the rambling roses creep over
the door
or the house on the hill far away.
I'm getting more and more out
OF this chemistry course every day."
