The State Department said today it
has decided to use the less-deteriorated
section of the Bluecher Palace to
house the various Offices Of the Amer
ican Embassy in Berlin.
At present the American Govern
ment is paying rent for three houses
in which the various services of the
Embassy are located.
Since Congress has not appropriated
the necessary funds for the Embassy
the funds used for paying rent will
be employed for some light repair
work in the Bluecher Palace. There
is no question. however, of doing any
structural work to provide for living
and entertainment quarters for the
Ambassador who will continue. as in
the past, to rent a house for himself.

A relic Of the reconstruction era, the
system grants the Democrat of an

metropolitan area.
Counties are assigned units votes in
proportion to their representation in
the Georgia Legislature, not less than
two nor more than six. The candi-
date getting the most popular votes in
a county gets all its unit votes, two,
four or six.
The runners-up get nothing but ex-
perience.
For the Democratic nomination for
both Senate and governorship, tanta-
mount to election, FOG unit votes are
required. If none receives that
amount, run-off election is held be-

lesser but still considerable extent,
England, too.
Italy Could Hamper France.
Thanks especially to the footholds
they have acquired in Spain, the
Italians could make it extremely hard
for the French to move their African
troops to Europe. Even if France
should succeed in moving them it
would be all the more vulnerable to
italian attacks on French colonies
italian and German planes could
operate from Spain and threaten both
France and England and their vital
routes of communication. The French
would have to keep armies on both
their Spanish and Italian frontiers.
Italy could also strike at the British
positions in the Mediterranean.
The fact that Italy could make such
trouble for France and England II
they should be involved in hostilities
with Germany is one of the best rea-
sons why France and England are so
anxious to avoid getting involved in
hostilities with Germany. And this, in
turn. may make it possible for Ger
many to deal with Cgechoslovakia
alone without France and England.
Thus effectively does German Italian
cooperation work in enabling both

But DR.. Craze is more hopeful.
"It is wise to make resolutions,
he says, "since the first step in
progress of any sort consists of for
mulating the plans"
For those without sins to expiate,
he suggests the following ideas:
"Pay a sincere compliment to
your wife or husband, your children
or neighbors.
Don't wait for death to tear the
selfishness from your eyes, after
which, in remorse, you heap extra
bouquets on the coffin.

Rivers of Mud Inundated Herculaneum,
Town Named for Hercules, Strong Hero

The people were saved, but their
homes were buried under the mud
like stuff, to depth of from 80 to 60
feet
Not quite 230 years ago, an Aus
trian prince (who had come to Italy
to live) ordered a we'll to be dug
near the edge of town which had
grown up on the side of Mount
Vesuvius. The workmen struck a
stone wall some distance down, and
wondered what it had been used
for.
The prince ordered a great deal
more digging to be done, and it
was found that the wall was part of
an ancient theater of the open-air
Greek type. Marble statues and
other relics were found as we'll.
In later years, Spaniards, Eng
lishmen and Italians carried on dig
ging and drilling. Step by step,
they brought to light parts of an
Gent Herculaneum.
Much work has been done during
the past few years, and a good part
OF the town is now in view. Scores
of houses have been laid bare, along
with the theater, temple and other
public buildings.
The mud-lava saved some things
at Herculaneum which were not so
well saved at Pompeii. Most i'm
portant is the wooden framework of
houses. Stairways, doors, and win
dow frames Gall of woody are to be
seen, after being cased in the mud
for from 16 to ID centuries.
Here is cupboard with necklaces
and other jewelry in it when the
volcano erupted. In another cup
board we find the shells of eggs
which would have been cooked if
the life of the town had gone on.

''More than ordinary good looks.

"Well, you do paint rather a

a provocative smile.
'Stop it, stop it," Jack pleaded in
mock alarm. "Turn it off, turn off
the charm. I'm too susceptible.
Cali right. Since you had the cour-
age to tackle the glummest girl on
board ship, maybe I'd better try
making myself agreeable" Molly
was still smiling, but there was a
look of determination on her face.
"Sure thing. Be a good sport.
Take life as it comes"
A trace of bitterness returned to
Molly's tone as she said: cts easy
for you to talk, with health and
good looks and everything to make
life easy"
Jack laughed. ''Lots you know
about it. They told me five months
ago I had six months to live. But
I'm showing them they're mistaken.
Aren't your eyes better?"
Molly looked at him in astonish-
ment: "You mean it, really? And
you so full of fun all the time? Oh,
my eyes, you say. Yes, they really
are better"
II was sure of it, Well, I'm off

Herculaneum, or the 'Town of
Hercules was one of the villages
around Mount Vesuvius long ago.
1t was settled by colonists from
Greece, and later was occupied by
Romans. The name was given in
honor of Hercules, the Greek and
Roman hero, observes writer in
the Portland Oregonian.
When a volcano breaks loose, it
throws out material of different
kinds. Ashes, stones and cinders
fly into the air, and great deal of
steam may rise.
Now and then a deadly gas
sweeps through the countryside,
and chokes those in its path. More
often, the damage is done by
lava, a kind of rock which can be so
hot that it runs as a liquid.
Herculaneum did not suffer much
from the fall of cinders or ashes.
The damage was done by streams
of hot mud, or "mud-lava," as it
has been called.
1t is believed that the streams of
mud-lava were formed by thou
sands of gallons of hot water which
welled from the volcano and mixed
with powdered rock around the
cone.
Down the mountainside flowed
the mud-lava, and covered many
homes, including those in Hercu-
laneum. We may guess the feelings
of the people as they saw the
thick, dark rivers coming toward
their little city.
The population was about 1000.
Old and young and middle-aged fled
from their homes. Almost all, if
not all, escaped. They jumped into
boats, and rowed or sailed away
or escaped by running to Naples.
