mental markers. State markers and
statues dotted the landscape about
the famous battle-ground. However,
the hideous calamities of war we're
likewise visualized, for all along the
roadways were crosses and tomb
stones, marking the final resting
places of heroes fallen in combat.
Incidentally, my study of these
equestrian statues revealed an inter-
esting fact. I learned that if the
horse stood on two feet, the rider
had been killed; if on three, the
rider had been wounded, and if on
four, the rider had been unharmed

relics, including uniforms, guns and

Upon leaving the museum, we
were requested to sign our auto
craps in an ancient ledger. Since
the State possesses similar records
dating back to 1882, I felt as if I
were inscribing my name on the
pages of history.
My visit to Gettysburg was one
of the most valuable experiences I
have ever had. At the present mo-
ment, I can still remember many
of the sights I witnessed, especially
when I renew my acquaintance with
my souvenirs of the trip. One of
them, a cannon, was made of wood
purportedly used in Gen. Meade's
headquarters. I also own metal
saber, a model of a Civil War pistol
and numerous post cards, which will
help me to recall Gettysburg in the
years to come.

Old Testament, beautifully illus

OF course, the Old Testament has
not been reproduced In full. The
material has been carefully selected
by Elsa Jane Werner, with a view
to presenting a volume which young
readers will understand and appre-
ciate. Portions Of the Bible of in
terest only to adults have been
omitted or condensed, and the
vocabulary and phraseology have
been simplified wherever necessary.
The result is book well worth
owning.

One widely-read Newspaper col-

planned New Zealand's decision TO
vote for partition instead Of abstain

"Freda Kirchwey, editor Of the
Nation, called Foreign Minister Carl
Berendsen of New Zealand on the

New Zealand's VOTE"
How was that again, please? Sir
Carl, who is his country's minister

against partition?
Here is how it happened:
Greeks at the U. N. General AS
sembly sought out members of the
united States delegation and asked
!or guidance. The idea seemed tc
oe mat II the Americans put it down
hard and firm the Greeks might be
induced to swing away from the
Arabs or at least abstain.
But the Americans, consulted in
formally in lobby talks, told the
Greeks in effect that Greece was a
democratic country and free, there
lore, to vote as its conscience die
tated.
Pressure Reported.
The factor that dictated to Greek
conscience was largely the presence
IN Egypt of 100000 Greek citizens
1t was made plain enough in lobby
1nnuendo from Arab representatives
that these Greek residents of Egypt,
many OF them wealthy merchants,
would find life exceedingly difficult
II the Greek vote favored the Zion
lists.
Some Of the Greek delegates got
the inference that Zionist vote
by the Athens delegation would re-
suit in expulsion for the Greeks in
Egypt.

Dorothy Dix Says

Probably the greatest mystery in
life is why so many husbands and
wives who really love each other
live together in perpetual strife
Why they do this makes the riddle
of the Sphinx child's guessing
game, for these people are not
morons who are SO stupid that they
are incapable of understanding the
nature and quality of their acts.
Nor are they sadists who enjoy tor
turing any one who is in their
power.
They are intelligent men and
women who are perfectly aware of
the crime they are committing
against those who are near and dear
to them. They know that they are
destroying each others happiness
They know that they are sabotaging
a marriage that should have been
successful and turning it into a
CHASTITY wreck. They know that they
are blighting their children's lives.
They know that instead of making
their homes sanctuaries to which
their families can flee to find peace
and healing for the wounds the out
side world has dealt them, they turn
them into backgrounds on which
the fighting never ceases.
If only husbands and wives who
are congenital criminals or danger
Gus hnatics found pleasure in hurt
ing each other, or if they hated each
other and were trying to avenge
themselves for some wrong, one
