Loop Traffic.
Perches on SieneI Light
\ Opposite City Hall

Pstrolmsn Sherman Walker,
who operates a tow wagon in the
loop. today should be issuing a
ticket for obstructing traffic to a
real queen
But he isn't going to do II be-
cause he had 10 work overtime to
rescue the queen and several thou
sand other bees from forced
landing they made on the traffic
signal light and sign post nearest
the city hall at Michigan avenue
and Griswold street.
What happened 10 the queens
calculations nobody knows. But
she and her followers turned up
in time to snarl up the 5 o'clock
traffic.
THEY GET INTO ACTION
Walker and Patrolman Dale Gil
man were dispatched with their
tow wagon to take care OF the
situation. Il
Hundreds below watched with
open mouths while Walker climbed
up onto the high crane at the
beck OF his tow car. Then he got
himself up on top the signal light
with the bees. Cars stopped TO
watch. Police whistles shrilled out
al the blocked traffic.
Everybody began to yell up ad-
vice.
Get the queen. or you're
sunk" shouted a woman above
the traffic roar. Walter teetered
on the signal light.
NOT ROOM FOR BOTH
There wasn't room for both
cops on top the signal light, so
Gilman had to stand below, parry
questions of spectators and give
moral support.
Demanded one severe looking
woman:
"Why aren't you helping that
poor man up there ?"
Said Gilman:
Lady. I'm doing my best.
There isn't a ladder and the
light is pretty well occupied
now"
Walker, wearing gloves, cor
rallied the bees in half an hour.
Patrolman Adam Fischaber of
the auto squad took the bees, VOL
unteering to give them a home on
his farm where there are no traf-
fic lights.

women are their equal In physical

The average person doesn't see
this war as q conflict between

fight for them as are men,"

Women Can Be Brave
As Men and Often
Are, PsYchiatrist Says
Pull Their Own Weight
In Boat When Crisis
Comes, He Finds
BY LUCRECE HUDGINS,
Associated Press Writer.

II q woman is afraid of mouse
why isn't she afraid Of air raids?
The answer to that poser. accord
ing to psychologists, is thata woman
isn't afraid Of : mouse In the first
place.
When . lady jumps on . chair
and screams at the sight Of a mouse
she instinctively is taking the only
constructive course Of action open
to her. Her scream scares the mouse
more than the mouse scareS her.
When a man sees the same mouse
he is too dignified to climb on a
chair and shrek. He hasn't gun
handy and the only available vase
is a family heirloom. Consequently,
while he appears to be courageously
nonchalant, he actually is paralyzed
with indecision.
Wemen Can Pull Own Weight.
'Our whole civilization has been
built on the thesis that men are the
stronger SEX" says DR.. Winfred
Overholser, famous psychiatrist and
superintendent of st. Elizabeth's
Hospital But, I think events in
this war prove beyond question that
the courage Of women is equal to
that OF men.
Custom has conditioned women
to a feeling of inferiority. Now
women, perhaps to their own sur
prise. are proving that they can
pull their own weight in the boat"
According to the psychiatrist.
there is no physiological reason
why women should be less brave
than men. Perhaps they become
frightened quickly but that may be
because women are more intuitive
and so realize danger more readily.
Brave Can Be Afraid.
But to act courageously in the
face of known danger requires
more pluck than to act with bravado
when scornful of danger.
when an individual shows
courage or cowardice 1t is not be-
cause of being male or female.
but because of being a particular
human being" says DR.. Oberholser.

Seomen, Torpedoed Three Times in One Month,
Tell Of Trying to Bring Ships Stern to Port
BY the Associated Press.

BY lne ASSOClhCtQ FIcSo.
AN EAST COAST PORT, June q.
An amazing story Of three torpe-
doings in three weeks, two of them
only four days apart, was told by
three men who had first-hand ex-
perience Of the Axis drive to break
up American shipping in the Carib-
bean Sea.
The men were Ross Hover Of
Wellsboro, Pa, second assistant en-
gineer of a large American mer-
chantman: Harold Wheeler, 10, Of
Canton, Pa, fireman, and Simon
San Juan. 80, Filipino, who lives
in New York.
They were first attacked May 20
and the loss of their ship was an
nounced by the Navy June 2.
The men told of losing their own
ship despite a valiant effort to sal
wage half of it, and of having two
rescue vessels blasted from under
them-and insisted they would go to
sea again.
Man Lost Oversize.
Fireman Hover, a veteran OF six
sinkings, felt certain that the entire
38-man crew and five of the six
man gun crew were safe, but he did
not know their whereabouts. One
gun crewman was washed over
board in the first torpedoing and
was believed dead.
Their ship was hit May 20 about
90 miles from West Indian island.
A naval craft swept over the hori-
zon and raced to them. dropping a
heavy salvo of depth bombs where
the submarine had been. There
was no evidence that the raider
was destroyed.
The men were landed at the is
land by the naval craft, but next
day IL men, including Capt. A. J.
Beck of Plainfield, N. j., went back
to their torpedoed ship. 1t floated
bow and stern high, awash amid
ships where its back was broken.
The forward half had burned out,
but the remainder Of the vessel was
in good order.
Fired Boiler in Wreck.
The dozen men asked a naval YES
sci to pump a few shells into the
forward half. hoping it would break
away and sink. They intended to
sail the rest to port and had even
started a fire in one boiler to get
up steam. Their strategy failed,
but they remained aboard for sew
eral days and drifted nearly 300
miles before the vessel went down.
A Dutch merchant vessel took the
II men toward a United States port.
On June 10 torpedo sent it to the
bottom.
An American merchantmen res
cued them. On June IA two sub
marines teamed up to blast that
craft One raider approached life
boats, asked if every one was off the
damaged ship and sent it plunging
beneath the waves with Is shells.
This time a naval craft picked up
many crewmen from all three craft
and no more attacks came.

Where They Are Fighting

Since the Crimean War the dead
of Sevastopol have always outnum-
bered the living residents. In ad-
dition to separate cemeteries for
French and British dead. a COM
mon grave north of the city holds
the bones of $4,000 Russians who
died in the city's defense. Having
grown to half again its 1925 size,
the city in the 1899 census counted
$4,000 inhabitants. An additional

year before the war stopped over in
Sevastopol to take advantage of its
pleasantly warm climate or its
health resort facilities.
Worms retarded the early develop
ment of the city AS soon as the
Crimea was annexed to Russia, in
1888, Prince Potemkin and Empress
Catherine the Great fostered the
building of a naval base. Ship
worms flourishing in the warm
water gnawed the wooden hulls and
necessitated constant repairs. At
the beginning of the Crimean War,
the city had only 47,000 inhabitants,

The rolling plain of Russia has
offered every advantage to Nazl in
vaders, with no obstacles except
Russian arms. But Sevastopol has
had the natural ramparts of rocky
hillsides to aid in its defense and
has withstood Nazi siege for seven
months.
The highest land in Russia west
of the Caucasus shaped the terrain
that helped Sevastopol's resistance.
The city climbs the slopes OF
rocky plateau more than 800 feet
above the sea. This is the western
end of the flat-topped Yaila Noun
tains, which barricade the southern
coast of the Crimean Peninsula
with SUBMITS almost mile high.
Sevastopol Harbor is a fJordllke
blue inlet reaching inland miles
to the east between steep limestone
bluffs of brown. and gray; 1t out

massive knob where the mountains
subside into the sea- 1t has been

harbor. About 100 miles farther
south than the rest of the Black
Seas northern shoreline, this naval
base has been the greatest Russian
threat to Nazi hopes OF controlling
sea lanes between the rich Russian
Caucasus and German-held ports
of the Danube and the Western
Black Sea.
Notched by Four Bays.
Sevastopol's great sheltered basin,
three quarters Of a mile wide ano
deep almost from shore to shore,
is notched on the south with four
bavs. then indented at its eastern
end where the Chernaya River pourS

the hillside city of Sevastopol, rls-
ing in terraces to the historic heights
of Malakhov Hill. Flights OF steps
help in the climb from one broad
tree shaded street and its tier OF
stone buildings to the next.
The rocky bluffs Of the harbor's
southern wall are described as hav-
ing turned besieged Sevastopol into
an underground Gibraltar, with ex-
cavations to shelter soldiers, in
habitants, provisions, and even air
port facilities. Cliffside grottoes
that protected early Christians still
exist in the vicinity. To the north
is a mountain of refuge with thou
sands of old caves carved into the
rock on 18 different levels.
Its rock bastions helped SevaSto-
pol resist 332 days of siege in the
Crimean War, against British,
French and Turkish attackers.
When, on September 8, 1855, the
French took Malakhov Hill above
the harbor. the Russians abandoned
the city in the night. blowing up
