He, too, exhibited a remark
ably unchangins character. After
his studies in Paris where he
worked under Ferdinand Ellie and
l. Allemande and was influenced
by engraVingS of the works Of
Raphael and Of GiuliO Romano,
he wished to go to Rome which
was at that time the art center
of Europe.
In 1920 Poussin set out for
Rome, but at Florence he was
forced to turn back because Of
lack of funds. In 1921 he tried
again, but only reached Lyons
Finally in 1924 he arrived in
Rome which he left only once,
between 1910 and 1912, when he
was recalled to Paris by the king
In Rome he plunged into a
study of the remains of antiquity
especially Of the statues and the
friezes which were to be found
there. The results of this study
are often to be seen in the atti-
tlldes of his figures and in their
congressional grouping.
This is especially true in the

One of the earliest records of
draft lodging was established by
Achilles at the start of the Tro-
jan War. His mother dressed him
in Women's clothes and sent him
to live with the daughters of
Lycomedes at Skyros, for it had
been prophesied that he would
be killed if he fought in the war
He was discovered by the
Greeks who used the ingenious
device of sending emissaries dis
guiSed as merchants with Jewels
and Warlike weapons. Achilles
companions looked at the jewels,
but the young Achilles was recog-
nized because Of his preference
for the weapons.
Ever since the Greek poet
Homer used the episode, it has
been favorite story for pointing
up the unchanging character Of
the individual the manly love of
weapons. the triumph of intel

Too Much to Bear Brglin EEibernates In the Basement

HAYNES R - MT and Mrs Blake Graham, who rent a home in this Southeastern Alaska city, have a small complaint to make about life on the last frontier.
 There is a bear hibernating under their house.
 'I know he's there," Graham explained. "I had part of the floor removed when I saw him."
 Graham said that last summer a bear was seen in his back yard. The animal apparently mistook the small hole in his concrete block foundation for a cave.
 "There is one opening in the foundation where a person can crawl under the house to inspect pipes. The bear went in there to hibernate, and snow has now piled so high the hole is blocked and he can't get out"
 Actually, the bear doesn't want to get out. He sleeps virtually all the time.
 But you can wake him up if you make too much noise,' Gra- ham said Sometimes if we have guests and are too noisy, the bear gets up and rumbles around"
 Graham complains that he, and his wife, and Judy Tanape, who boards with them, must constant ly be reminding each other "don't make so much noise, you'll wake up the bear"
 Graham said he first noticed something was wrong" with his house last fall. There were strange rumblings and noises coming up from the floor. Final ly, while trying to repair an ap- pliance that he thought was at fault, he removed a portion of the floor and sighted a black bear, all curled up and sleeping soundly beneath his home.
 "I'n be glad when spring comes," Mrs. Graham said. "It's enough work taking care of your husband without having to tiptoe around so you won't disturb the bear"

House Passes JFK's Get-Industry Started Bill

WASHINGTON R - The House today passed 259-167 President Kennedy's $394-million bill to help industry get started in chron- ically depressed areas.
 It was a substantial victory for the administration, whose forces beat on two votes a Re publican attempt to scale the pro- gram down to $275 million.
 The Republican effort was first defeated 242-139 on a teller vote in which the members are not recorded by name. It was beaten 292-125 on later roll call vote.
 The Senate already has passed the administrations measure in slightly different form. It re- sembles legislation vetoed in past years by former President Ei- senhoWer.
 Today's action by the House cOntrasted with a Kennedy de- feat last week on minimum wages. The House at that time adopted a Republican substitute greatly scaling down the Kennedy bill. This issue now is up to the Sen ate.

Legislators are
 Red-F aced = Rider On BillOyerloOked

OAA RPs HI @-g ' 1E ANFNIN Nd
 JUNEAU Qp - The Legislature discovered to it's red-faced hor- TOT yesterday that it had unwit- tingly approved a bill with a rider repeating the 1859 legisla- tive pay bill.
 The rider was attached to a bill relating to notaries public, which had been considered by a House-Senate conference commit tee to straighten out amendment differences between the two chambers
 The rider was not discovered until after both the House and Senate had accepted the confer ence committees recommendations and approved the bill.
 Some joker sneaked fl in" Rep. John Hellenthal told tHe House.
 "That means we've rep raIe5 the law twice." said Rep. Will liam Erwin as the House roare3 with laughter. ''We already re- pealed it when we passed the new legislative pay bill"
 The House rescinded it's action in accepting the conference com mittee report, and bucked the whole thing back to the commit tee for another trip.
 A few minutes after the House took it's action, Senate Majority Leader R. J. McNealy related the sad story to the Senate.
 q have a hunch that the in- sertion of the repealer was not an accident and I would be will ing to make a guess as to which member of the Legislature is the guilty party" McNealy said.
 Sen. George McNabb got slow ly to his feet and told the Senate:
 'This has been one of the most interesting legislative experiments can ever recall.
 "Yes, I'm the guilty party, but not an unsubstantial number of the majority party members knew what the amendment actu- ally did.
 Actually, it was test of the minority party, test which was failed most dismally, when you consider that of the seven Repub- licans only Sen. Engstrom of Ju- neau voted against the bill.
 "The experiment proves one of two things: The minority party doesn't know what it is voting on, or it wasn't acting in good faith when it went along with the pay cut bill"
 Sen. HCWard Pollock, who has had several floor brushes with McNabb since the session began, commented:
 "The silver fox has shown gross responsibility. After this, I don't think Sen. McNabb war rants the trust of the Senate, and, certainly, he should never be permitted to ask unanimous consent for anything again.
 The talking over, the Senate followed the lead of the House and rescinded its action in ac- cepting the conference committee report and tossed the bill back to the conference committee.

The Alcorn College Braves de-
feated the stubborn and inspired
MVC Devils on the hardwood at
Itta Bena, Monday night, January
80, 1854.
The strong defensive play of the
entire Braves team was outstand-
ing. However, the hard fought
ball game featured the rugged
floor play Of Thomas Bailey, and
the outside shooting of Odell Ag-
new. Agnew scored 16 points to
become the high scorer of the con-
test. The rebounding of Bailey
was worthy of praise.
The Delta Devils were good on
defense and their shooting was
good enough to make the game
uncomfortable for all the Alcorn
partisans. 1t may have gone either
way. This indicates that the tour
nament, February 24-25, will be
close and thrilling in the extreme.
The 1960-61 edition of the cham
pionship bound basketball team
has record Of IA games won and
8 lost.

staged February 24-25 in the Gym
nasium at Alcorn College. Coach

to measure up to the best in the
