killed his victims exquisitely - with
music.
If one of his courtiers offended by
intrigue or irreverence, or even looked
as il he might be capable of such a
crime. the emperor had only to drop
a word to one of his lords.
When the unSuSpecting courtier
left the palace, a captain would be
waiting for him with file of squat
little warriors in lacquered armor.
After an exchange of bows, the of
ficer would state his mission politely.
"Excellency, IL is the wish of His
Majesty that you listen to music"
The novel death was spoken of
with dread through the length and
breadth of the island kingdom, but
the man summoned to il had to ac-
cept as calmly as If he were going
to a geisha party. Otherwise he
would lose face"
With elaborate ceremony, he was
escorted to q low tower in which
hung a great bronze bell, weighing
several tons. It's huge clapper swung
just two feet above the granite floor
Beneath the bell, four ring.bolts
were set in the floor. At nod from
their captain, several soldiers flung
the doomed man down and lashed
his arms and legs tightly to the bolts.
The soldiers then took hold of the
bell rope and pulled. The first note
wasn't very loud. But as the ringers
gained momentum the blows crashed
like thunder claps over the helpless
man, and the reverberations beat
endlessly in his ears.

The chicken stealer argued that
the evidence as to how the chickens
acted should not have been presented
TO the jury.
But the high court disagreed. 1t
said that the chickens were corrobo-
rating witnesses.

@ argued in the Kentucky Court

The court was upholding the con-
viction of a chicken thief. The evi-
dence against him was largely the tes-
timony of a police officer who had
returned the birds to their supposed
ly rightful owner.

verSations paused for
an instant until some
one supplied the victims name. Then
talk was resumed, in louder tones
Only the emperor listened unmoved
He loved the bells clamor.
After half a day of the maddening
pounding, the culprit forgot all con-
sideration Of face and wept, screamed
or foamed at the mouth. Still the
soldiers swung the bell in shifts.
II the offense was relatively minor,
the transgressor was cut loose after
"a hours and carried away-a raving
maniac. But II the emperor was real

made about az -heuFss later.

fixion, partition with bamboo SnY,

and decapitation were among the COM

Because of the dark record, contin-
uing down from the earliest times TO
Hongkong, Singapore, Bataan and
countless other scenes of recent atroc
tiles, the historians suggest waiting.
They don't rely on any overnight

Science Group Tells Court
.0fS7, 500 SettIementin SuiI

Attorney Warren E Magee, rep
presenting the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, in
formed Justice T. Alan Goldsbor-
ough today that the association has
agreed to settle with Ware Cattell
for $500 in connection with a suit
which has been on trial in District
Court since Monday and in which
Mr.. Cattell sought a total of 1880.
In the suit, Mr.. Cattell claimed
he was hired in January, 1943, as
editor of the Scientific Monthly, a
publication of the association, at a
salary OF $1,000 a year for period
of four years. In July, 1943, he
claimed the association failed to
continue him in the position. The
sum he sued for represented, he said,
the difference in money paid him
over a six-month period and the
total sum he claimed he would have
received but for the alleged viola
tion of contract.
The settlement will not become
final until the consent agreement
is signed.

|Ad 'BIackout' Seen
Saving 10000 Tons
|0f Coal a Year Here

The order banning all outdoor
ornamental signs and advertising
using electricity produced by coal
will result in the annual saving of
approximately 10000 tons of the
Districts coal consumption, it was
estimated today.
Coal officials, however, we're not
certain what effect, If any, War
Mobilization Director Byrnes' appeal
to householders to maintain So
degree maximum in heating their
homes would have on the District
coal supply.
Charles H. st. John, vice presi-
dent of the Griffith Consumers Co.
District coal firm, said the saving
would be very sizable" if the ap-
peal is needed. But he said some
sort of educational program aimed
at householders might have to be
undertaken to make the coal con-
servation program work
James H. Ferry of the Potomac
Electric Power Co. said the adver-
tiSing and display blackout has
already been in effect in some in
stances since the war began.
We have urged in the past that
advertisers black out their lights
during the war. and many of them
have taken our advice" Mr.. Ferry
said. He pointed out that the large
sign atop the Pepco Building and
the firms window display have
been blacked out since the war.
He said, however, that result of
the compliance by those who have
not dimmed advertising display
signs since the start of the war
should mean a considerable saving
of coal.

sioner of the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration, said the coal conserva-

Army, Navy Prepare
Big Drive for Nurses;
Won I GIamorize Jobs

Both the Army and Navy have
moved On the problem of recruit
ing an adequate number of nurses
to care for their wounded. One of
the Army's steps is a definite re-
lection of any suggestion that the
nursing service be glamorized. The
Navy's latest move is to modify reg
ulations so Navy nurses now in the
service may marry.
Assigned to Maj. Gen. Norman T.
Kirk, surgeon general of the Army,
to help in the recruiting of nurses
is Miss Evelyn Blewett, staff man
ager of the War Advertising Council
of New York, who says the prob
lem is rot one of glamorizing the
Armys nurses but to tell the women
of the country of the need for
nurses.
Miss Blewett maintains there are
enough trained nurses in the coun-
try to provide nursing service both
for the armed services and civilians.
4l,000 Nurses Classed la.
"FOrty-one thousand nurses in the
United States are classified by the
Procurement and Assignment Office
of the War Manpower Commission
as IA" she said. That means
they are in nonesSential service, re-
tired, or available for military Serv-
ice because of some other reason"
Miss Blewett sees the problem as
one of telling every woman in the
country of the need. Every woman
has some one dear to her in the
service, Miss BleWett says. If that
man is killed, 1t has to be accepted,
but if he is wounded. she believes
he will come back"
To bring that wounded man back
we must have professional person.
nel," Miss Blewett said. Nursing
care is vitally necessary. Our need
arises from the fact 10 per cent of
the service nurses are overseas.
Huge Load on Those in U. S.
The 80 per cent in this country
are here because they are over As
years old, or they are on limited
service because of some handicap.
or they are at home on rotation
from abroad The load this 80 per
cent faces can be realized when we
remember that 10000 wounded were
returned to this country in Decem-
ber."
The Navy expects the modifca-
ton of its marriage rule-a rule
which did not apply in the Army
will help in achieving authorized |
strength of its Nurse Corps. More
than 80 per cent of all separations
from this branch of the service
have been due to the marriage bar. |
However, there is no change in the
present policy which disqualifies I
nurses from entrance into
the Nurse CorpS.

attempted to duck under them when

tried to blow it up with hand
grenades. Others were shot in the
water as they resisted capture.
