then looked over American naval
bases in France. It Is recalled that
he took a hop in naval seaplane
at Pauillac in France and went
aboard a lighter-than-air craft.
Mr.. Roosevelt conferred with off,
cials of the French Navy at Brest
and gained intimate knowledge of
the scenes behind the war. At the
Citadel of Verdun, whose heroic
defense has become one of the clas-
sizes Of that entire conflict, the Com
mander In Chief of the Army and
Navy Of the United States of today
saw the thrilling battle-ground, with
Col. de Haye, the commander.

guest of the late King Albert. The
group Of airmen known as the
Northern Bombing Group received

he went on to visit the American
sub-chasers in the South of England,
saw the majestic British Grand
Fleet in the Firth of Forth and saw
the operations incident to the North
Sea barrage, out Of Scotland.
Mr.. Roosevelt had another narrow
escape from death aboard the Brit
ish destroyer H. M. 8. Obedient,
when he was nearly swept over
board In Q heavy sea. A man on
deck was lost, but Mr.. Roosevelt
was saved, thanks to the quick
action Of his aide, Comdr. Elliot G.
Brown, in anchoring him to a
stanchion when q wall of water

was invalided home aboard the

Mr.. Roosevelt was sent abroad to
aid in hquidating the Nays assets

President Went to
France With Nayv
in 1918
By WiIliam A. MilIen.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
addressing the Nation by radio on
the eve of Labor Day, with a new
war in Europe breaking, told his
audience that he had seen war. And
truly he spoke.
For this civilian who is Com
mander in Chief of the Army and
Navy has witnessed the closeup of
the spit of fire of the great guns;
has talked with the newly wounded;
has watched the lines of fighters
in battle array; has seen the convoy
system in action and has crossed the
submarine infested deep. He, more
than many Of his fellows high in the
Government, has a deep apprecia-
tion of the terrors of warfare.
Il have said not once but many
times that I have seen war and that
I hate war" the President said into
the microphones on that fateful
September 3 night, with the caissons
rolling once more in martial earnest
ness, and the submarines, marauders
of the deep, again bent on the quest
OF ships to sink. II say that again
and again."
And he spoke out of an abundance
of personal knowledge and expe-
rience that had taken him overseas
during the height of the World War
to see at first hand its dreadful i'm
port.
President Roosevelt schooled him
self for his task Of learning about
war when he was Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy. For nearly four
years before the United States en-
tered the World War, Mr.. Roosevelt,
from an oficial seat of Government,
saw the catastrophe building up,
witnessed some of the intrigue of
European diplomacy, caught some
Of the swirl Of events that sent mems

BY Hook or by Crook
Saying of Middle Axes

In the Middle ages the common
people were forbiddea to cut down
trees for firewood. This was a priv
ilege specially reserved for the
Lords Of the Manor. Naturally, a
great deal of hardship resulted, and
to avoid unrest a dispensation was
given whereby they we're allowed
not only to gather deadwood but to
be permitted to break OF with bill
hook any dead branch. The crook
enabled them to pull such branch
within reach.
And so people spoke of getting
frewood "by hook or crook" This
phrase came to be used for other
things as well and so we still say
Wen get something by hook or by
crook when we mean "by any meth
cd possible" says a writer in Pear
sons London Weekly.
The phrase Ito eat humble pie"
originated in the Middle ages from
deer hunting. The coarser parts OF
this animal were usually given to
the inferior servants. These parts
of the deer were called "Umbles' or
Nurnbles" and in the course of time
the word was corrupted into Hum
ble." So to eat humble pie meant 70
be one of the common folk, whereas
today ii means 10 accept an inferior
position, or to climb down"

Elasticity of Rubber Is.
Explained by Scientist

From its fiexibility and elasticity
DR.. Eugene Guth of the University
of Notre Dame infers that rubber is
composed of curved molecules. He
recently outlined his hypothesis be-
fore the American Chemical soci-
ETY..
Pull out piece Of rubber and it
snaps back. The scientist says that
rubber has reversible elasticity.
Stretch rubber and it becomes hot.
Piecing together these clues Doc
tor Guth decides that the rod-like
molecules of rubber must be curved
and that they are linked together In
chains.
Along a chain are many smaller
molecules in constant rotation.
thinks Doctor Guth. This motion
is caused by heat. In unstretched
rubber the long molecules are in
curved form because such a curved
form is the probable form of fex-
ible chain. and nature prefers most
probable forms over all others" An
ordinary string when thrown into
the air always falls to the ground to
form curve and never a straight
line, argues Doctor Guth. So to him
it is reasonable to assume that the
most probable form of rubber's
chain molecule is also curve.
When we stretch the rubber chain
we do work. Some disposition must
be made of the unclaimed energy.
II appears as heat
From all its solidity rubber be-
HAYES much like a gas in its ex-
FEASIBILITY. There are more than
100, 000, 000, 900 chains of flexible mol
ecules in a cubic inch of rubber
says Doctor Guth. these chains
are connected with bridge-like struc-
lures so that ultimately we have an
elastic network OF molecules"
Doctor Guth thinks that his the
ory-a statistical one-should lead
to better understanding of the
properties of rubber, which, in turn,
will provide guide in the devel-
opment of new natural and syn
thetic rubber products and In the
fashioning of rubber in q way to
render it more efficient for the use
which it is intended to serve"

1t would be q physical impossible
ity for milk snakes to milk cows,
DR.. Doris M. Cochran, assistant Gu
rator Of the Division of Reptiles
and Amphibians, United States Ma
tional museum, points out that the
milk snake has no sucking muscles
in its throat and that the sharp
teeth In the mouth of the snake
would certainly cause the cow TO
rebel if the reptile attempted to
milk her. Doctor Cochran says that
the milk snake is a very helpful
reptile which destroys more than
its share of rats and mice around
barns and does man absolutely no
harm.

is Of black crepe, collarless but with
round neckline and pleated from
throat to hem, the pleats released
and flaring at the hem. The trim
waist il spanned with pigskin belt
that IL set with big cabochon-cut
stones. Prints, good for wear under

are in all the shops now. Tie silk
is used for some of the smartest
frocks, many with matching boleros.

MARS VISITATION
 GESTURES MEXICO
Natives Looked for End of
 World; Amazed to Be Alive Today

Mexico City, July 28-(UP)-Thou- sands suffered from orthodox or emotional hangovers today as Mars swung away from the earth.
 Ia the cities, and particularly heIe [, gay crowds celebrated "the end of the world" derisively with drink ing parties and dances. The local celebrants hardly noticed that clouds obscured Mars from their sight.
 Tut out in the states, to the peas- ana who are so much nearer to the | sky and stars, the phenomenon was a solemn manifestation of divine power--and, they feared, displeas- ure. Many people believed that the end of the world was at hand, and il was with some surprise that they awoke today to find things going or as usual.
 In Jalisco state, churches were crowded last night with fear-stricken people believing that they were about Ito be called on to answer for their lives. Long queues formed before the ConfessionalS.
 In Vera Cruz state, many people |spent the night in the open, watch ling the sky and waiting for the end Many peasants traveled long dis Itances to bid farewell to relatives Iwhile others crowded churches to bray.
 Mexico's Mars casualty list was mot high. Sonora Josefina Guerra had died at Atlacholoaya of heart attack induced by terror at the pros- pective cataclysm. Paul Dominguez Do, unsuccessfully attempting suicide by dropping poison in his beer at a Mexico City bar, had explained that he preferred death to witnessing the Approaching calamity.
 The style of witch doctors of Jal- ksco state was cramped when police faided their convention and seized hhem and the skulls of snakes, cats land other instruments of witchcrafl over which they were muttering in. cantations intended to stop Mars ir hts tracks.
