For many years scientists have

The usual way of making them

Peruvian Firm Loses Suit
AGAINST U. 5. Government

A once wealthy Peruvian i'm
port-export firm yesterday lost its
suit for Sc million damages
against the United States Gov
ernment which it claimed i'm
properly included its name on q
war time black list.
The ruling by the United States
Court of Appeals went against
Reynaldo and Guillermo Gubbins
trading as Gubbins & Co. OF
Lima.
The name of the partnership
appeared on the Governments
proclaimed List of Certain
Blocked Nationals" early in World
War II, as one of a number of
firms believed to have traded with
the enemy.
Gubbins & Co. protested in the
courts here that it had never
traded with the Axis and that,
through government negligence,
its name appeared on the black
list without proper investigation.
The company charged that the
action practically put it out of
business.
The Appeals Court, in an opin-
ion by Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man. ruled. however, that the firm
had no redress in the courts since
the Government has not consent
ed to be sued under provisions of
the Federal Tort Claims Act.

This is done with a phase micro

fact that light rays reflected of

each other-one color gets a bit

Army Inspectors Give
Excellent Ratings 10
District Guard Units
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey

FORT MILES, Del, July 90
District National Guardsmen In
camp here and at Bethany Beach
are beginning to puff out their
chests a little more as the reports
OF the Regular Army inspectors
begin to trickle into brigade head
quarters.
officers say they are the best
reports ever received by any local
Guard units for field training &C.
tivities. The intense interest of
the men in their tasks, it was
pointed out, is traceable, perhaps,
to the grim possibilities of actual
field service that face them.
Of course, 1t. Col. Robert F..
Cocklin. chief of staff, explained,
the Army inspectors found some
faults. but they are minor. They
include such reports as leaking
valves in the showers. dirty rife
here and there. But what pleases
the inspectors, he said. is the
promptness with which corrections
are made.
One of Best Bands.
The pleasing reports go all the
way down the line. Maj. George
H. Rafford. from Fort Meade,
Md, reported to headquarters that
the Guards 257th Army Band, di-
rected by Warrant Officer Al
phonso Esposito, is one Of the
finest he has ever heard.
The Headquarters Detachment,
commanded by 1st 1t. John H.
Bolton. was highly commended for
the smooth operation of the con-
solidated mess, which is directed
by 1st 1t. Belgium Borzella. Mill
tary courtesy and saluting on the
part Of both officers and enlisted
men was highly commended. The
conduct Of the troop information
and education sections was re-
ported to be developing excellent
results. The participation of the
troops in the discussions was
marked good.
In Operation Homesick," con-
Quoted by Maj. Allan G. Crist, in
volving a map problem on the In
vasion Of coast line, there was
evidence of considerable time and
effort spent in preparation Of the
exercise. The interest in the prob
lem was marked excellent, as was
the conduct of the class. The reg
ulars even volunteered the fiat
tering statement that they got
something out Of the exercise.
Other Excellent Ratings.
The Radio Controlled Airplane
Target Detachment. commanded
by 1t. Raymond A. Payn was
marked excellent.
The 340th Anti-Aircraft Artil-
lery Gun Battalion, commanded
by 1t. Col. George v. Selwyn, in
the field for the first time with
90-mm. guns, the inspectors re-
ported. had shown considerable
Improvement since coming here in
their gun section training.
The 104th Ordnance Mainte-
nance Company. commanded by
1st 1t. Raymond L. Healy, was
marked excellent in shop training
and also in preparation for the
reception of the District Commis-
sioners. The general appearance
Of the outfit was marked excellent.
The manner in which 1t. Bolton
conducted his group in the con-
struction of hasty Notifications
scooped out Of the sand with steel
helmets was called well conducted
by the Army observers.

NEVER call a cat a "tabby"
~ unless you know what
you're talking about. Con-
trary to popular belief, a
tabby Is not necessarily a
female and it certainly isn't
an "alley cat"
Tabby markings are the
most ancient and yet. in per-
feet form, they are very rare.
A cat that doesn't have iden-
tical swirls on both sides Just
isn't a show tabby. An un-
broken line across the chest
also Is required.

longed to Mr.. and Mrs. Harold

monoxide poisoning while 60
ing through the Baltimore
tunnel on a train last De-
cember. The lh-year-old cat
was returning from a show at
which he became a double
champion, a rare distinction
for any cat but especially one
so young. Rusty had deep,
rich, red markings against a
light orange ground color. He
had butterfly markings on his
shoulders, a perfectly ringed
tail and distinct bracelets
about his legs.
or course, not all tabbleS
are red. They come in brown

varieties, too.
There are five main breeds
of cats: The domestic short

Manx. The last three are
called foreign short-hairs.
Most common Is the do

Every year about this time, the
Sons of Norway in Seattle usually
arrange a Newcomer Festival

day, November %.
This Newcomer Fest" is not
only meant as a welcome to late
arrivals from Norway but also
Observation-Disclosures from other
parts of United States. The pur-
pose is naturally to make them
acquainted with Sons of Norway
and if possible get them to join.
The committee of arrangements
has plans for good program
that night and cordially invites all
Norwegian-American newcomers
to Seattle.

"Nordlandslaget" of Seattle had
a very interesting meeting last
week with a program in the line
of something "super-new". One of
the members had composed
"revy-vise' where more than 20
of the society's members were
mentioned in a complimentary
way. The song to the tune of
"Clementine' went over big, and
everybody is already clamoring for
more of the same dish.
The idea of this kind of enter
tainment is perhaps new to Sc
attic, but nevertheless worthwhile
trying also in other societies. Fact
is that the attendance at Nord-
landslaget that night was way
above the average.
One of the troubles with many
II dlciii VI dllIZdllOHS Is, IN my
estimation, the lack of a snappy
program after the business meet
ing. Too often the meeting is I'M
necessarily dragged out just be-
cause there is no need of hurrying.
Nothing to do afterwards except
drink a cup of coffee, play cards a
lite and go home. If the busi-
ness meeting is cut a little short
with a program to follow there
still will be ample time both for
a cup of coffee and a little card
playing, making the evening
pleasant all around.

l was best man at wedding that
took place in one of the famous
mining camps that was located in
the upper regions in the cool Col
orado mountains.
After the ceremony and the
banquet were over, small group
of close friends escorted the bridal
couple to the depot, where they
embarked to the lower and much
warmer regions of the state for
their wedding trip and an abbrev-
lated honeymoon.
On the way to the depot and
while we were waiting for the
train, many of the customary
FRANKS were played on the bridal
couple, and much rice was spilled.
In an unguarded moment, man
aged to deposit a handful of rice
inside of the brides low cut dress,
where it lodged between the tight
fitting corset and her tender skin.
Through another friend of the
bride, I learned sometime later
that that act came close to hav-
ing serious consequences.
With this introduction, shall let
the bride herself tell what hap
pened in her own words
Before my newly acquired hus-
band and I had settled into our
seats on the train" she began, Il
became aware of the fact the rice
had settled around my waist line,
next to my skin beneath my very
tight-fitting corset. I also realized
that I would be unable to have
the already annoying rice remov-
ed until 1 had an opportunity to
undress.
After a couple of hours train
ride over a very crooked and steep
road, my husband and 1 reached
the city where We intended to en-
joy our honeymoon.
THE city was located some five
thousand feet below the little min
ing camp where had been raised,
and to me who had been used to
the cool air in the upper regions
in the cool Colorado mountains,
the heat in the lower attitudes soon
became very oppressive.
1.-THE rice that was lodged below
my loving heart increased my dis
, comfort, and soon after our arriv-
al in town I began to look for a
place where I could shed my
clothes and get relief from my
misery by removing the rice that
was digging into my skin.
Bent on pleasing his loving,
young, and very bashful wife, my
darling husband began to plan a
string of entertainments for that
afternoon and evening. There was
the customary street car ride into
the surrounding country and a
visit to the city park with it's
elaborate zoo.
There was also a hot ride on
a burro to a popular hotspring
with it's very exquisite hotel AMI
surrounding flower gardens.
