Live Longer in Australia

Mans normal life span ranges
from so to 80 years, but his longev-
ity chances vary from country to
country. According to the Statisti-
cal Year Book of the League of Ma
tons, a man may expect to live
longer in Australia and New Zea-
land than in any other country on
earth. In those two countries, q boy
may look forward to IS years of
life, a girl to So years. Next best
place seems to be the United States,
where life expectancy is 63.8 years
for the girls and 6o.72 for boys.
Worst country of all in this respect
Is India, where the life expectancy
Of male infants is only u years.

San Antonio American Venice

San Antonio, Texas, city of light
and imagination, of beauty and ugli-
ness, old and new-saunters, smiles
and ultimately arrives, like her
clear little river, winding under AZ
bridges to give her the name of
1.-THE American Venice" The river
is being "beautifed" these days,
with Venetian bridges, ctrving stair
ways, fagstone paths, tropical
plants and a small open-air theater
with the seats on one side of the
stream and the stage on the other.
A hint of Athens in the masses OF
garden flowers and oranges for sale
along the sidewalks; a reminder OF
Italy in the rdse red tower Of the
courthouse and the expresses that
lift long fingers into an almost Ital-
ian sky-though Italy would never
hang Christmas lights and tinsel on
q cypress tree!

perfect sinking technique that when

FISHING BOAT IS
 BACK IN FRANCE

St. Malo, France, Dec. 3,-(UP)- The fishing schooner Immaculate Conception, which left here March 10 forsa summer of cod fishing off the Newfoundland banks, returned today and the crew learned for the first time that France had lost the war and that German troops were in control of this English Channel port.
 Unwittingly. the schooner had run the British blockade to bring car go of fish and cod liver oil home. Twice during the crossing it had bumped into darkened freighterS at night, had recognized them as part of British conveys, had not realized that the British now consider French ships lawful prize, and had proceeded on it's way unmolested,
 The Immaculate Conception is one of the oldest French fishing ships. It has no radio.
 After filling the hold late in the season, the captain decided to run with favorable winds directly for the Brittany coast rather than call at the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, as WaG his custom.
 Six hundred miles from home the crew passed a convoy in daylight and British destroyer came along side. The schooner'S crew gave a salute, thinking it was hailing all ally, and the destroyer pulled away. A few hours later a German air plane flew overhead and the crew pulled down the boats tricolor. The plane ignored the old tub.

Ruins of Ancient Rome Greet Nozis in Rumonio

MONUMENTS to the power of A the Roman Empire, which European dictators would initiate, are pictured on the Runanian stamp above, one of recent semi postal issue for Boy Scouts.
 The Rumania of today was known as Dacia during the Ro- man era. Its people had achieved l high degree of civilization even before the advent of the Romans. Wars were fought with Rome as early as the 2nd century B. C.
 Trajan conquered the kingdom of the Dacians in 102 A. D., made it a Roman province. Colonists were imported from Rome for work on farms and in mines; forts were built, four great highways constructed.
 Roman ruins are plentiful in Rumania. Roman towns have been excavated; evidences of highways and bridges remain visible. Ro- man mines are still in existence.
 Rome's control over the prov nce ended with the invasion of oarbarians in 256, except in a few fortified cities. In 27O, Aureliar. withdrew all troops, settled col- oniSts south of the Danube.

 Sure I won't make a three some?"
 'Ronnie, you are an inveterate tease!"
 Wesley York was highly eXhilar- ated by this call from Ronnie Bailey. For days he had literally moped. He had avoided her, then sought her without success. Not that he had actually tried to tele- phone or call on her, but he had ceased dodging and had begun hop ing to meet her casually. Fate is seldom kind in such instances, but now she herself had popped up in characteristic style.
 She was like a chemical stimu- lart. In matter of minutes she had lifted him. When he met her at the University stables half an
