To greet its dele gates and thousands of guests Lima is dusting off the old and rushing completion of the new. New buildings are being con- structed especially for the con- ference and additional floors are being added to the leading hotels.
 But Lima will retain its 400- year-old atmosphere in any event. Its great catheGrals, in one of which reposes the mummy of Pizarro in a glass casket. its in- tricately carved balconies. its cob- 5lestone streets but a step from its gay paved ways. distinguish Lima as one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in the entire world.
 Lima is city of about 350.000 today. a great number of whom are Indians. Its founding 400 years ago is commemorated here on a stamp issued in 1885. It shows Mt. San Christobal near the city.

 'T asked the hall operator to switch me to your room; but you Sound-strange."
 'I'm reeling with sleep, if you want the truth. What do you eX- pect - waking me up this time in the morning?"
 The clock by her bed registered S:30.
 And what on earth she was going on, her voice rising as her grievance grew upon her but Cynthia broke in:
 Hush! Don't let Grams hear you I'm down at the drug store at the corner. And I've got to talk to you, Jan"
 Well, you know where to find me any time you choose to call it night" Janet said impatiently "But if you think I'm coming down to the drug store in my-i"

Speaking Of Sports
Baseball Color
Most Powerful
Drawing Card
BY ROBERT McSHANE

THOUGH baseball officials are
= prone to boast that the game is
efficiently organized, professional
and businesslike, still it is beyond
their earthly powers to subdue those
uncomfortable souls who, by their
odd antics, add vivid color to Amer
ica's own game.
Baseball color isn't confined to the
players. One Of the best known
figures Of the diamond world today
is Bill Klein, the "Old Arbitrator"
Klein is the dean Of all major league
umpires, with more than 80 years
continuous service in big league cir
cults. He has called 'em for no
less than II World series. He Is a
man Of supreme self-confidence, and
once declared that he had never
made an incorrect decision.
"Nary a one, Bill?" demanded
questioners.
"Nary a one!" he replied stoutly.

he wrote thesis on earthworks
which attracted the attention of
Charles Darwin. His correspond
ence with Darwin put him in touch
with Alexander E. Agassiz, the
American naturalist, and, when he
obtained his doctorate in 1873 and
removed to America, the two men
formed long and fruitful associa-
ton. For 40 years, Doctor Eisen
was on the Pacific coast, working
at times with the late Luther Bur-
bank on plant research.
Last year, the California
Academy of Science honored
him as the founder Of the states
great fig-growing industry.
Smyrna figs frequently had been
taken to California, but there
was no yield. Doctor Eisen
studied this problem and
reached the conclusion that the
failure was due to lack of fer
tilization. Male trees were
brought over and California be-
gan gathering fig crops.
The chalice, which had been found
in the ancient ruins of Antioch in
1910 and placed in the Louvre, in
Paris, was brought to this country
in 1914, to safeguard it during the
war. Doctor Eisen's conclusion was
that it had been made by a great
Roman artist, Appollodorus, who
lived from so to 120 A. D.

Atom Bombarded
At Indiana u.

Scientists have long regarded the
atom as the smallest indivisible par

under attack through the use of
atom smashing apparatuses, known
as cyclotrons. Physicists at Indiana
university, Drs. Allan Mitchell, left,
and Franz Kurie, through careful
measurements of the vacuum cham

Eisen will be 90 years old. 1t was
his research that established, so far

through the motions. But every
time he steps up to the tee he leaves
little doubt that he is the super
golfer of today. Especially when
the class of the field he dominates
is considered. He has won the
Western Open for the past three
years and the National Open the
past two years.
In winning the Masters, Guldahl
called his shot. Before the tourna-
ment began he announced that he
would win II. His successive rounds
were 72-68-70-69, for total of 279,
the lowest score by three strokes In
the six-year history Of the most ex-
elusive tournament Of the game.
From the moment Guldahl steps
up to the first tee the thought never
occurs to him that he isn't the
worlds best golfer. Which he very
well may be.

Who's the Best?

TODAY'S ring addicts can b
segregated into three groups:
Those who believe Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis to be a good
fighter, those who think him great
fighter, and those who believe him
to be the greatest fighter of all time.
Several Of the nations outstand-
ing boxing authorities are enthusi-
astic enough about the Brown
Bomber to regard him not only as
today's best fighter, but as the king
Of them all, past and present.
Those same sports authorities will
find many to disagree with them.
And the dissenters are bold enough
to say that Louis isn't even the
greatest fighter in the ring today.
They back that statement up with
cold, convincing logic.
Henry Armstrong Is their choice.
Henry's recent knockout victory
over Davey Day at Madison Square
Garden was his sixth successful de-
tense Of his welterweight title in the
10 months that have passed since
he took the toga from Barney Ross.
1t was the forty-fifth consecutive
victory in his featherweight, light
weight and welterweight campaign.
Armstrong won all three titles in
the course of a year, relinquishing
one voluntarily. Day was his thirty
ninth knockout in the string of fights.
That record stacks up very favor
ably with the one hung up by Louis.
In one way it is even more impress
sive than the heavyweight's string
OF victories. Armstrong has gone
out OF his own weight class to &C.
count for many of his wins. When
ne conquered all contenders in the
featherweight field he abdicated,
moving into the lightweight circles,
where he removed the 135-pound
crown from the brow of Lou Am
bers. Hammering Henry captured
his third crown in the heavier well
terweight division.
His natural fighting weight Is be-
tween 133 and lbs pounds. When he
defends his welterweight title his
opponent is allowed to pack lat
pounds, which means that Henry
gives away from IL to IA all-impor-
tant pounds.
The busiest fighter in the ring to-
day, Henry is one big barrage of
fists from the minute he steps into
the ring until he has knocked out his
opponent or has heard the final bell.
Usually his opposition isn't bothered
a great deal for the first few rounds.
But his constant clouting wears
them down until victory is within
sight. And once he has it sighted,
he doesn't let it get away.

King of Golfers

TWO years ago, when he was
playing at Detroit's Oakland
Hills, Ralph Guldahl demonstrated
the same relentless, driving force
that carried him to victory in the
recent Masters golf tournament on
the Augusta (Ga.) National course.
While playing the Detroit course
Guldahl was at the top of his swing
vhen he noticed a newspaper pho
osrapher in direct line with the
all. The cameraman was leaning
ar over the ropes. Barely pausing,
Ralph stated in even tones:
IF you want to get your face
knocked of, it's all right with me"
He followed through with a ter
rife poke as the photographer
jerked back his camera and es-
capped in the nick of time.
