MY DIVING RIG

Lots of people envy the guy
who can go under the seven seas
and still breathe. They are right
they should
But as for goofs, like me, who
stick their necks. out with a HONS
made contraption that has neither
principle nor practieability, they
ought to get a swift kick in the
pants.
My outfit is nothing more thar
a five gallon can with the bottom
, cut out in an arc to fit the curve
of your shoulders. The glass /.
just a piece Of pIexiglass attach
ed by means of wool bracing and
couplings.
The life line is just piece OF
discarded plastic garden hose
which is really about as danger
Gus as sticking your right nostril
in cars exhaust pipe and
breathing.

had about twenty pounds OF
weight around my waist and
around fifteen on my head.
The helmet had many faults
which will explain later. The
screws holding the weight to the
helmet were arranged SO that nc
matter how you move the darn
thing you had two choices, wear
it one way and gouge your eye
out, wear it another and have a
hole in the back of your cabeza.
The first time / went down I
also noticed that a small hole
just above the left side of the
glass emitted a small stream OF
water which was aimed at my
right eye. AT first / thought, My
gosh. must be deep, my eye
busted from the pressure" but
was really only four feet under.
The life line, oh, the life line
Never be surprised if you see d
couple of spiders or mice crawl
out when you're under, for any
thing and perhaps everything gets
in it while laying on the closet
floor. Well, the line is only about
20 feet long and you forget and
walk away a couple of feet toe
far. Ops! The line just removed
itself from the helmet Inciden-
tally, the line is just stuck on &
piece of pipe and is sure to fall
off at any time. Well, anyway
you let go of the helmet and
stick your finger in the pipe and
then the helmet usually decides tC
float off so you get drowned eth
er way.
The next great danger is ths
glass that you look through i

things bigger than they are. L
you ever saw a grunt about s.
big you'd probably faint from fhe
shock of seeing a Jewish.
The really bad danger of this i.
the biting reefs. If a shark should
come up he'd look so big tina
you think him a reef and 60

The Moving Finger
Wilhelm
BY L. A. THOMPSON

Crown-Prince Wilhelm of
Germany, who was never, crown
ed. died on July 20 in his late
sixties. Three days later, Mar
shall Petain, 95, of France, drew
his last breath. Thirty-five years
ago the former was in command
Of the crack German army which
met the French army under the
latter, at Verdun. "They shall not
pass" was the battle cry of Pc
tain and his army. Sure enough
the Germans did not pass.
When the bloody strife was
over, everybody knows what
happened. The old Kaiser went
into exile and so did his son. Pc
tain gained for himself high
berth among the military imrnor-
tails of France - and the world.
Peace lasted a good while. Then
Mussolini came to power in Rome.
Hitler soon had the Germans
housekeeping and then - World
War II. They tell us that during
all the ado in Germany t h e,
French were having their fun
under the delusion that the Magi-
not line could do the trick. Some
one had Numbered. When the
shooting war got hot the French
folded just like that! There was
not a really strong man to take
the helm of the ship of state. Old
man Petain, "a, was put at the
head of the Vfchy government.
Just what the folk expected out
of a man of his age in that crit
ical situation is more than you
and I can figure.
Having failed to measure up
to the expectation of his country
men, Petain was branded a trait
or, sentenced to death, but they
changed the sentence to life i'm
priSOnment.
Such is life. Maybe Petain liv-
ed too long. Had he died thirty
years ago, France and the whole
world would have knowed him.
Such is life The path of glory
does not lead to the grave -
alWasy. 1t may do otherwise
And now they would not even
allow Petain'S body to be buried
in any place of fame on French
soil.

what was the trouble with Hol-
ton Newbold, a witness in the
Dave Kaminski and Sollie Isaac
laundry union case in which
were charged with intent to kill
and are out on $4,000 bail,
while Newbold was being held IN
jail.
The explanation was given on
Tuesday when two letters signed
by Newbold were read in Judge
Wizards court. In one letter
Newbold mentioned plans he had
for going to Nassau, Bahamas,
so as not to appear as a witness
in the case, and in the other
made certain threats. The judge
placed Newbold's bond at $4,000
and he is being securely held.
