her lips
Bright to her berth, the sovereign
of the storm.
/ never did, and many years went
by,
Then, near a Southern port, one
Christmas Eve,
| watched a gale go roaring
through the sky,
Making the cauldrons of the
clouds upheave.
Then the wrack tattered and the
Stars appeared,
Millions of stars that seemed to
speak in fire;
A byre cock cried aloud that morn
ing neared,
The swinging wind-vane flashed
upon the spire.
i had not walked that glittering
world before,
But up the hill prompting came
to me,
"This line Of upland runs along
the shore:
Beyond the hedgerow I shall see
the sea-" =
And on the instant from beyond
away
That long familiar sound, a ships
bell, broke
The hush below me in the unseen
bay
Old memories came: that inner
prompting spoke.
And bright above the hedge sea-
CULTS wings
Flashed and were steady upon
empty air.
"a Power unseen," I cried, "pre-
pares these things;
Those are her bells, the Wanderer
is here"
So, hurrying to the hedge and
looking down
/ saw mighty bays wind-wrinkl-
eQ Dlue -.-.-
Ruffling the image of a tranquil
town,
With lapsing waters glittering as
they grew.
And near me in the road the ship
ping swung,
So stately and so still in such
great peace
That like to dropping crests their
colours hung,
Only their shadows trembled
without cease.
/ did but glance upon those anchor
ed ships.
Even as my thought had told, I
saw her plain;
Tense, like a supple athlete with
lean hips,
Swiftness at pause, the Wanderer
come again
Over the water came the lifted
song
Blind pieces in mighty game we
swing;
Life's battle is conquest for the
strong;
The meaning shows in the defeat
ed thing"

ed. Ironically, the book was re-
issued in 1857 and sold for profit
as a collectors item.
The most recent-if not the
greatest-hoax of all was the Pitt
down man. For 40 years after
Charles Dawson, Sussex lawyer
and amateur antiquarian, discover
ed the skull and jaw bones near
Piltdown, they were believed to
have belonged to the earliest
Englishman "beetle-browed
chap with a murderous jaw" who
roamed the land 100000 years ago.
So rare were the fossils that
they were locked up, like the
crown jewels, for safe keeping.
Because a few authorities-among
them, the late DR.. Gerrit Miller of
the Smithsonian Institution -
doubted that the jaw belonged to

man, team of British scien-
fists finally decided in 1949 to re-
examine the bones.
Through radiation and chemical
tests, they have proved that the
jaw belonged to a modern orangu-
tan. The skull was real fossil.
But it had been doctored to make
it look 10 times older than its
actual $4,000 years. Like the skull
and jaw, other animal remains
found with them also had been
artificially aged. All the fossils"
moreover, had come from some
where else and had been planted
at Piltdown.
So far, the faker of the fossils
remains officially unidentified. But
it is certain that, in making a
man of monkey, he made mon
keys of men.

scrutiny revealed that the crystal
of selenite had been cut open, the
wing slipped inside, and the crack
pounded smooth over it. The wing,
long believed to be a fossil of the
Tertiary period, was nothing more
than that of common grasshop-
per.
Experts once identified a Wedg-
wood teacup handle as the stem
of "calamite," a fossil plant.
But their shame was small COM
pared to that of poor Johann
Beringer, the credulous professor
of Wurzburg.
An avid fossil collector, Beringer
used to take his students digging
in his favorite hillside. He believed
the Creator had planted fossils
there for him. But the students
didn't. They carved weird stone
images and struggled them into the
hill for the professor to discover.
AS fast as the students carved,
the professor gathered.
Not until after he had published
his unusual findings in an illus
trated volume in 1925 did Beringer
tumble to the trick. Then he spent
all he had trying to buy back the
copies of his book. He died shortly
thereafter, penniless and humiliat-

FAMOUS FABLES
INSPIRATION:
BY +. +. EDGAR

INSPIRATION: Whenever
British statesmen William Glad
stone was scheduled to make a
speech in the House of Com
mons. he would spend the pre-
ceding evening going over his
notes. He would still be concen-
trailing on his speech when he
went to sleep.
Gladstone would not bulge
from his bed once he had retired.
II a brilliant idea occurred to
him In the night, he would not
make a notation, Instead. he
would make a knot in his wifes
nightgown. Then, IN the morn
ing. he would count the knots,
recall the ideas and iot them
down.
One night. IN fever OF in
splration. ideas came to him
every few minutes. AS rapidly
as they came, he made another
knot.
The next morning, when Mrs.
Gladstone awoke, her teeth were
Ichattering. and she was sneez-
ing. That afternoon. her hus-
band made the greatest speech
Of his career.

But. lacking a club stopper,
Mrs. Keen elected to go to four
diamonds and Mr.. Meek carried
on to five.
Mr.. Abel cashed the king and
ace of clubs and led a third club
to his partners queen. Mr..
Meek ruffed the third trick and
stopped a moment to check on
his prospects.
He knew that a squeeze on a
player in two suits will produce
only one additional winner. For
the squeeze to work you must
have all of the tricks you need
except one. On this hand Mr..
Meek had contracted for IL
tricks and could take ten
five diamonds. two spades, two
hearts and a heart ruff.
Would q squeeze operate If
Mr.. Abel happened to be his
sides only guardian of the black
suits? Well, Mr.. Abel would
have to hold one club to top
dummy's ten. If he held a spade
stopper, it would be a third
round winner and therefore he
would have to hold three spades.
That made four essential cards
in all.
Three tricks had been played
and Mr.. Meek could win the
next seven outside Of the spade
suit; that is, four diamonds. two
hearts and heart ruff. That
would make 10 tricks and every
body would be down to three
cards.
Yes. the squeeze would be sue
OeSSful If Mr.. Abel had the jack
Of clubs and the queen-jack Of
spades or any four spades.
Beginning with trick four,
then. Mr.. Meek cashed two top
diamonds. Then he caShed the
ace and king Of hearts and
ruffed a heart on the board.
Next he played his two remain
ing trumps. discarding two small
spades from dummy.
On the last trump Mr. Abel
was reduced to the Jack of clubs
and three spades to the queen.
Dummy's ten of clubs was still
staring him in the face, so he
parted with a spade. Mr.. Meek
then won the last three tricks
In the spade suit.

Eight Witnesses
Accuse Kasper
OF Agitation

CLINTON, Tenn, Nov. 6 R).-
Criminal Court took an election
day recess today after hearing
eight witnesses testify yesterday
that John Kasper of Washing
ton, D. c., stirred up anti-inte-
grafton mobs here without actu-
ally urging violence.
Kasper is on trial on State
charges of sedition and melting
to riot in connection with Au-
gust demonstrations against the
court-ordered admission of u
Negroes among 800 white stu
dents at Clinton High School.
His activities already have re-
suited in one-year sentence for
contempt of the Federal Court
which ordered indignation of the
school and then ordered Kasper
not to interfere with 1T.
Appealed Conviction
Kasper, 26-year-old executive
secretary of the Seaboard White
Citizens Council, has appealed
from the contempt conviction,
Yesterdays court session drew
an overflow crowd of spectators.
PieketS carried signs outside with
such legends as. "Kasper de-
served fair trial" and mo
rugged jury"
The first eight State witnesses
testified to the effect that after
Kasper arrived here, two days
before school opening. with the
avowed purpose of "halting inte-
grafton" there were mob dis
orders.
His lawyer. Benjamin Simpson
of Washington, asked each wit
ness ON cross-examination: You
did not. did you. hear Mr.. Kas-
per actually advocating any VIC
lence?"
Each admitted he had not.
and Mr.. Simpson declared: I've
never heard, your honor, of a
person being charged with doing
so many things by remote con-
troll"
Witnesses Quoted
Yesterdays witnesses and some
of their testimony included:
City Policeman Jess Braden:.
"All I know is that he tKasper)
would talk to them tdemonstra-
torsl, and then they'd start up
again"
Leo Brunette, Clinton mill en-
ploye: HE came across my back
lot when I was washing my car
. and said he came to help
the people in this vicinity. He
asked if my wife would be will
ing to picket Clinton High. l
told him, NO."
Principal D. j. Britain, jr.,
Of Clinton High School: "Kas-
per asked me what / was going
to do about this situation. /
said l was going to abide by the
law He told me he was inter-
ested in only two things-get-
ting the Negroes out of the
school or getting me out of the
school"
Deputy United States Marshal
Josi Farmer, who helped serve
the Federal court Injunction on
Kasper:: "Kasper said Ito a
crowd in front of the court
house, that he had been served
with some papers and had to be
in court in Knoxville the next
day. He said. You people don't
have to pay any attention to
this because the will of the peo-
pie is the law"

HENCE ALSO the appearance OF Nixon and Ke-
faver at the convention of the Zionist Organization
of America The appeal to the Jews is based pri-
marily promises of interest to Jews made in the
political platforms adopted by the national conven-
tons of the two parties E.
Both platforms contain declarations opposing
discrimination by foreign governments against
American citizens the ground of religion
Jews in the United States now, the eve of the
elections watching with special interest what the
Republican Administration will do to check the Arab
boycott against American Jews
THIS INCLUDES not only the trade boycott,
but also the Saudi Arabian ban on Jewish servicemen
at the American military base in Saudi Arabia On
this point all the Jews in this cOuntry-Without eX-
ceptionare united since it affects their dignity as
American citizens as we'll the dignity of the United
States itself -.
The question of Israel looms large for the great
majority of the Jews in this country
THE REPUBLICAN plank makes no promises
of defensive arms to Israel, the Democratic plank
does . However, this obvious difference is not be-
ing exploited in the election campaign by any OF the
Jewish groups friendly to Israel not even by Zionist
groups.
Despite these differences, friends of Israel take
satisfaction in the fact that both major parties are
in accord on the issue of IsraePs security and have
committed themselves to stand by 1sraePs in
dependence

Don't Kibbitz- -VOTE!
Are you a street corner politician?

Are you street corner politician?
Or lounge politician?
If you're fortunate to live in the United States
you can be either without fear of punishment. But
have you qualified yourself to be corner or
lounge politician?
There is only one qualification for permission
to talk and argue politics. The one qualification is
that you MUST get out and vote.
If you don't vote don't criticize!
So while you're belaboring the Republican
party-or the Democratic party-make your plans
now to vote Nov. 6. Voting is trusted part of
citizenship of this great country. Don't be kib-

THERE is ANOTHER story Sid tells very we'll
1t concerns the man who went into Jewish book
store to purchase yarmulke.
II would like to purchase very fine and special
yarmulke," the man told the store proprietor
The proprietor smiled and went to the back of
the store He returned with yarmulke of fine silk.
"This," he said, "is very fine one and priced at
only $1.95."
"Take it away" said the buyer, "and bring me
something more elaborate, more expensive"
Soon the store owner returned with another var
nuke This was a cleaning white one, embroidered
delicately and with price tag of $685.
NO. no, no!' shouted the irritated buyer. Bring
me something really fine"
This time it took longer for the store owner to
return And this yarmulke was thing of beauty
two colors and with sequins But again the purchaser
shouted to bring something even finer.
"Ahaw shouted the storekeeper upon returning
for the fifth time Here is My very finest 1t costs
SIS for this yarmuke. Not cent less"
"That will be fine" the purchaser said.
The store owner dropped the yarmulke in bag
and handed it to the customer.
The customer looked at him sharply and re-
torted: "Humph Is that the way to wrap Christmas
present"
