French Archeologists at Work Upon -
Alesia Battlefield Find Roman Coins

Thirty-seven Roman coins, also
179 diverse objects which might
have belonged to julius Caesar, all
of them dating back to the Roman
occupation Of Gaul, have been dug
up by a group of French archeolo-
gists at work upon the historic bat
tlefield of Alesia, 40 miles from
Dion.
For three decades excavations at
Alesia have been carried on, but
during the past few months the
harvest was so abundant that it
has inspired the psychologists,
working under the direction of M.
E. Esperandieu, to continue their
digging with increased vigor.
Among the 179 Roman objects found
were locks, keys, cramp irons, nee
dies and fragments of pottery; also
an deliberately decorated table in
the form of an altar and q striking
lion in bronze (almost intact). A
''hypocaust," an underground fur
mace for heating baths, was also dug
up.

has plodded through Caesars ssCom-
mentaries" is acquainted with Ale

STA today bears the name of Alise-
Sainte-Reine and, since the Middle
ages, has become a religious shrine
much frequented by Burgundians.
Saint Refine was one Of the early
Christian martyrs in Gaul and every

Each year an average Of 10000
visitors comes to Alesia, some as
religious pilgrims, others as tour
lists. All Of them walk about the
battlefield where the independence
of Gaul was lost some 1000 years
ago; they stand in awe before the
heroic statue of Vercingetorix,
erected on the summit of Mont
Auxois.

Vacuum Cleaner With
Clean Dust Bag Best

A vacuum cleaner with a clean
dust bag does the best cleaning job,
studies at Purdue university expert
ment station show. For best serv-
ice the bag should be emptied after
each daily use. Never wash the
bag, as that destroys the finish that
keeps it dustproof.
How much dust machine draws
from a rug, the studies indicate de-
ponds partly on how fast it is pushed
back and forth. Most machines
clean best if they are moved at a
speed of from one to two feet a

Naturally, the machine should not
be allowed to pick up pins, tacks, or

It is also desirable to keep the
machine in a clean place, protected
from dirt and dust.

passed all day long in a weaving
pattern to and fro. She knew the
springfield pond deep in the woods,
and sometimes she took off her
shoes and stockings to wade in the
clear water there; or she would sit
very still on the rocky summit OF
the knoll above the pond to watch
through the intervening branches OF
the trees the cars 60 by.
Uncle Jim found her there one
day. She was at the time about ten
years old. He spoke to her, smiling
", and asked her name; and she
told him what it was, and watched
with interest how the blood drained
out of his lips. Later she saw him
more than once again, and one day
she told her mother of these en-
counters.
Kitty Leaford was soft, queru-
lous woman, who lived resentfully
but not rebelliously, complaining
without struggle. She heard June's
report in an unaccustomed silence,
and without comment; but she must

EVE, because later Aunt Evie told
June, in her soft, irnplacable tones,
not to walk in the woods again for
a while, and she babe the girl for

Many Electric Outlets
Important to Kitchen

When electric outlets are being
planned in new house for lamps,
clocks and radios, the kitchen is
often neglected. It has more uses
for plugs than any other room.
Within reasonable limits, there
cannot be too many appliance OUT
let's in the kitchen. In this room
electricity is used both for lighting
and for motivating power.
Consumption of current varies
widely with kitchen appliances, and
special attention should be given to
the load the outlet is expected to
carry. :.

stronger fiber than her mother. She
disobeyed Aunt Evie once, and met
Uncle Jim and told him what had
happened. He came to the house
that afternoon June saw him meet
Aunt Evie. She did not hear what
passed between them; but after that
Uncle Jim built a cabin on the
rocky knoll above the pond, and
dwelt there sometimes for weeks on
end; and June often went that way.
These hours when after her les
sons under Aunt Ewes tutelage
were done June could slip away to
the river, or to see Uncle Jim, made
life endurable for the child. AS she
grew into a young woman, they
were a part of the routine of her
days. Her days all were routine;
Just as it was a part of the routine
which held them all, that every Sat-
urday night after supper they came
together in the big sitting-room in
the Hurder house. They did not
meet for supper, because that meant
extra work and even a certain adj
ditional expense. But after supper
they all met and were determined
ly festive.
''It is duty we owe the chill
dren," Aunt Evie used to say. "To
make home pleasant and attrac-
tive for them in whatever ways we
cam"
June and Rab and Asa were the
children. When June was eighteen,
Rab was twenty-six, and Asa seven
years older; children no longer. But
the routine bound them still
When this particular evening be-
gan-though June would remember
its every detail all her life-there
was nothing to make it seem any
different from others that had gone
before. The day had been warm
and sullen, and there was promise
Of thunder-shower to relieve the
heat; but Kitty Leaford hated thun-
der-showers, so that June did not
welcome the prospect of this relief.
She was always apt to suffer when
her mother did.
The girl did the supper dishes to-
night as her regular duty was; and
while she was thus engaged, Uncle
Justus and Aunt Evie came in
through the kitchen from their house
next door. There was a half-bottle
of milk on the table, and Uncle JUS
tus, as he passed where it stood,
knocked it off with his elbow, so
that it spilled across the floor. June
had to mop it up, while Aunt Evie
thrust Uncle Justus on toward the
sitting-room. She did not scold him,
because she always spoke in low,
gentle tones; and Uncle Justus was
stone deaf and never heard anything
she said. June sometimes thought
his deafness was an armor that
served him well.

Under normal life of the contract,
the balance woulda be paid up by
1914. If the secretary uses his full
powers to extend the contract the
payments might be scaled down to
last until 1949, thus relieving the
district of heavy immediate pay
ments and allowing diversion of
funds to storm repairs.

He said it would take a year to
return the system to its condition

Prime Minis+erin
Statement War to
Crush Hi+lerism

LONDON, Sept. 20. (UP)
- Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain today denoun.
ced Soviet Russia's cynical
but decisive intervention il
Poland, assured the world that the
allied powers will vigorously carry
on the European war, and said
that six or seven German submar-
ines had been destroyed.
Adolf Hitlers speech at Danzig,
offering peace on his own terms
or years of war, will not change
the determination of the allied
powers to crush Hitlerism, Cham
berlain told the House of Com
mons.
The achievements OF the British
navy and the Royal air force
against U-boats, which have been
chiefly responsible for the sinking
of 81 allied and neutral ships, as
we'll as the British airplane carrier
Courageous, was described by the
prime minister as exceeding any
thing achieved in much longer per-
iods during the World war.
Chamberlain said that so far 139
British and neutral lives had been
lost and A persons were missing
as result of U-boat attacks, ex-
cluding the Courageous casualties
The dead or missing on the Cour-
ageous total 578, thus making a
total of 76l dead or missing.
The British policy is to crush
German warships and prevent the
enemy from getting supplies from
overseas while protecting British
and neutral shipping. the prime
minister said.
Crews of German submarines
have been captured in some in
stances, Chamberlain said, and the
allied strength on the sea-strongly
supported by airplanes-already has
made clear that the navy and mer-
chant marine will be able to MAIN
tain the flow of essential supplies
of raw materials and food to Brit
ain.
Thus Chamberlain indicated that
the government was confident the
German U-boats would fail to
starve England as they had threat
ened to do at one time during the
World war.
Denouncing as "misstatements'
various parts of Hitler's speech at
Danzig Chamberlain said that
Britain did not speak with boasts
or threats" He referred to the
German fuehrer's indirect threat
to loose the Nazi aerial armada on
England if the British blockade of
Germany is continued.
