TROOPS WATCH AS STEEL MILLS OPEN
IN OHIO-PICKETS ARRESTED; CXO.
LOSING GROUND AT A RAPID RATE
CANTON, O., Jane 39.—Djruaih blasted a water main. telephone wires
were ripped from poles, and pickets hooted and Jeered, as the RepobKc Steel
corporation successfully opened its four plants here today under protection
of the Ohio national guard.
Two low flying guard airplanes acted as “eyes” for the heavily armed
troops, spotting any disorder and sending guard detachments to quell it.
Forty pickets were arrested.
By mid morning, Republic announced that 112 automobiles had hurried
approximately 451 workers into the plants, and the movement of cars in and
out kept up.
Some 299 pickets, many women, were kept moving smartly along by the
guardsmen.
Reluctantly, they kept on a patient march, two and three in a group,
shouting "scab” at the soldiers.
Comparative quiet ranged along the other fronts of the Great Lakes
steel strike, now entering the second month of a walkout called by the steel
workers organising committee over refusal of four independent companies
to sign labor contracts.
The concerns are Republic, Youngstown Sheet and Tube, Inland Steel
and the Bethlehem Steel corporation.
At Johnstown, Pa., where the Cambria Works of Bethlehem was harried
yesterday by roaring dynamite blasts which snapped two water pipelines.
Mayor James J. Shields ordered CIO leaders to leave the city.
Janies Mark, CIO leader in Johnstown, was called before council meet
ing last night and told his presence was inimical to community peace.
(And on and on, day by day, the grip of the C. I. O. is lesseriiag, here,
there, everywhere.)

DESCENDANT SUES
SCION OF REVERE
Their Marriage Just Didn't
Work, So They Both
Seek a Divorce.
Boston.—Anywhere you go in Bos
ton society these days you’ll hear
this two-line parody of Longfellow's
immortal poem:
Listen my children and you shall
hear
Of the wreck of the romance of
Paul Revere.
They’re talking of the divorce suit
filed by Mrs. Dorothy Brown Re
vere against Paul Revere, the
great-great-grandson of the Paul
Revere of 177S.
It is a suit that has startled proud
New Englanders no less than did
the earlier Paul when he rode
“through Middlesex village and
farm” to warn embattled farmers
that the British were coming.
The astonishment results from the
fact that imperious dictators of the
society of Boston town have beamed
on the Reveres since their marriage
eight years ago and have said:
“There is a marriage that should
be held up to all newlyweds as
one to pattern after.”
Personal Matter.
Mrs. Revere, a lineal descendant
of Priscilla and John Aden, whose
love saga set the tongues of stem
Mayflower settlers wagging with
gossip, marched into Denham pro
bate court without advance warn
ing.
She filed her complaint on grounds
entirely technical and said after
ward:
“This is a personal matter entire
ly between us. The marriage just
didn’t work and we both want a di
vorce.
“I see no reason why I should
make any other comment."
The couple were married in 1929
after a romance of the campus and
society salons.
Dorothy is the former Dorothy
Frances Brown, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Gardiner Brown of
Brookline, and was a member of
the Junior league and the ultra
swanky Vincent club during her
debutante days.
She was graduated from fash
ionable Cambridge Haskell School
for Girls and was prominent in
theatricals.
Revere was the son of the late
Joseph Warren Revere, whose es
tate, “The Cedars,” in Canton,
Mass., was built on land once owned
by “Revere the Rider.”
The present Paul Revere was
graduated from the exclusive St.
Mark’s school and took up a bank
ing career after he got his sheep
skin.
Officer Gets Shock
In 1930, the year after his mar
riage in Emmanuel church, Revere
figured in an episode which caused
newspapers to carry the headlines:
“This Paul Revere Uses Automobile
for Speed.”
That occurred in Quincy, Mass.,
when he drove just a little too fast
and a traffic cop with no respect
for illustrious ancestry stopped him
and demanded:
“Who do you think you are, Paul
Revere?”
Without a word, Revere handed
over his driver’s license. The traf
fic cop gulped, wrote out the sum
mons and sped away on his motor
cycle, resolved never to deviate
again from that cliche of his kind:
“Where do you think you’re go
ing—to a fire?”
Revere’s father was a widely
known mining engineer. The pres
ent Paul Revere was his only son.
Last Bullet Saves Party
From Charging Elephant
Colombo. — The last cartridge
among a party of six government
officials in Ceylon saved them when
they were charged by an elephant
in the jungle of the Nawi region.
Assistant Government Agent M.
D. de S. Jayaratne and G. de Zoyas,
deputy registrar of co-operative so
cieties, had gone to the district with
friends to transact business. In
the morning they went, to see the
large herds of deer often encoun
tered in the Nawi plains.
Going along a narrow jungle
track, they turned a bend only half
a mile from camp and came upon a
wild elephant. The beast was about
to charge when a Singhalese chief
tain accompanying them brought it
down with a single shot.
Recovering from the shock of
their escape, the officials found that
the hi.l.’et which saved them was
the ruy one in the whole party.
C- or Traps B*rd to .
Crown 20-Year Search
Philadelphia.—After twenty years
of persistent jungle exploration,
Melbourne A. Carriker, associate
curator of the Academy of Natural
Sciences here, returned with a rare,
turkey-like giant tinameu bird
Carriker started his latest South
American hunt for the big, buff col
ored bird ten months ago fought
through jungle ur.dergi r*ih, and
clambered an Andes mountain peak
with a fractured ankle to bag seven
at once.
The curator's only regret is that
after his battle against starvation
when food supplies ran low, deser
tion of three of his four Bolivian
guides, and six weeks of constant
struggle, he and his remaining
guide had to eat two of the rare
fowls.
Some Groceries
You May Buy
Without A Tax
RALEIGH, June 26.—North Caro
line shoppers, starting today, will
save a few pennies on their grocery
purchases.
When the new sales tax rules go
into effect July 1, flour, meal, meat,
lard, molasses, milk, salt, sugar, cof
fee, bread and rolls will be exempt
from the three per cent state levy.
The exemptions were defined by
th state democratic party as “all nec
essities of life.” The 1937 general as
sembly which re-wrote the sales tax
law, called them “primary and es
sential articles of food.” The state
merchants association, which oppos
ed the revised statute, termed the ex
emptions “a nuisance.”

Slaves Brought Leprosy
Leprosy was first recognized in
the United States in Louisiana,
where it is supposed to have been
introduced by the slave trade from
the West Indies, says the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. The far greater pro
portion of the known cases began in
Louisiana, and the next greatest
numbers come from California and
Florida. The prevalence of the dis
ease in certain sections of the trop
ics establishes the fact that warm
sections where plant and animal
life luxuriate in moist heat and
where the rainfall is heavy are most
conducive to the spread of the dis
ease.
Dodo Could Not Fly
The dodo was a large bird dis
covered by the early voyagers to
Mauritius, notes a writer in Lon
don Answers Magazine. It was
equipped with a large beak but very
small wings—so small that, like the
penguins we know, it could not fly,
and was a very slow mover. For
this reason it fell an easy victim to
hunters. It was finally exterminat
ed towards the end of the Seven
teenth century, this process prob
ably being helped along by the im
portation of pigs, which devoured
the eggs which the dodo laid in
nests on the ground. -
Respect for Royalty
Japanese respect for royalty is
notorious, but only when it con
cerns their own royalty. Japanese
papers once told of England’s king
being thrown from his horse, il
lustrating the story by a picture of
the king of a large barrel-shaped
nursery horse with three soldiers
pushing behind, with appropriately
scurrilous remarks.
