The thing to do is to concen- trate on the "Conquering Lion of s Jsdah," otherwise the Negus, or "Pow er "of Trinity." , . Make It clear that modern war means "the ruler of the country first, the little people afterward," and war will not last long. The "Conquering Lion" has expressed willingness, al most eagerness, to die for bis country, but that must not be taken too lit erally. Near Burbank, Calif, a plane crashes. Three occupanjs, two pilots and a stewardess burn to death, after striking a live wire. It has been said, "Alcohol and gaso line do not mix well," meaning that men should nor drive when drunk. Air fields snd live wires do not mix well either, The Department of Com merce, ruling aviation and exercising admirable rules, might Include among the latter a rule against exposed live wires near air fields. There Is an unnecessary fnss about American business men having secured lnN Abyssinia rights to develop oil and mineral wealth. An American should be sble to go shopping at hla own risk and on his Own responsibility, wherever he chooses, as Englishmen do, without having the State depart ment indulge In "fits." If one of the great American or ganizations. Standard OH, Du Pont or another, undertakes to do business in Ethiopia, It will not ask Uncle Sam to send, over any of "our boys" to shed their blood. 1 .

AND here's as strange a true tale, boys and girls, as Poe ever con jured up in his most imaginative moments. ! While the club secretary jots down the name of Mrs. Ralph John son on my well-worn note book, I'll spin you the yarn. Incidentally, we've had a lot of hair-raising tales in this "thrill corner" of ours, but in this one Mrs. Johnson's hair not only rose on end, but it actually LEFT HER HEAD 1 Mi.

Hair Pulled Out by "Ghost," .The sensation that her hair had been pulled was so strong that she turned on the light and looked around the room. ... Seeing nothing alarming,, however, Margaretta says, she decided that she had been -dreaming the whole thing and went back to sleep. She took the pre caution,' however, of closing the window at her head, but as nothing more hap pened that night she said nothing to her family about the Incident. The next night the same thing occurred. She was awakened from a sound sleep By a stinging sensation on her scalp exactly as though v aome one had pulled her hair. The feeling wae so vivid this time that she knew she had not been dreaming, and she eat up terror-stricken In bed and called to her father. - Well, you know how fathers are. Margaretta's was no exception, and he Just laughed and said she had a good Imagination and suggested that she go ' 8he Was Awakened by a Stinging Sensation. back to sleep. But Margie wasn't ready for sleep yet so she did a little sleuthing herself. She looked the room over very carefully not forgetting to look under the bed but all she could .find out-of pace was a little boudoir doll that she had left'slttlng up. on the dresser. 1-a: V ji.'iThe doll had. fallen. over on res siae wiw n nir uuni.n and that doll had 'natural hair! Was She Mad or Dreaming? Well, sir, Margie began to think she was about due for the psycho pathic ward. She glanced again at the window by the head of her bed. The window was closed, but Margie 'swears she saw the shade move I All thought of sleep driven now from her mind, the panic-stricken girl kept the light on and, taking a book, tried to read. Her hand strayed to her scalp and she found It sore to touch. She lay there quiet as a mouse, listening for the slightest sound and wondering fearfully If the house were haunted. ' Suddenly Margie sat straight up in bed and nearly screamed the window shade at her head had rattled as though shaken by a terrific gale. But the curtains of another open window were not even stirring I Margie says she was now simply scared to death. The rattling of the shade soon stopped and she lay shivering as the long hours of the night slowly dragged on. Daylight that solver of Night's mysteries came on and the exhausted girl dosed. Her frayed nerves were getting some much needed rest when suddenly every nerve In her body tingled with terror. In Which the Ghost Becomes Alive.

Over Roman Station Uncovered by the low tide, 32 oak piles 1,700 years old have caused the discovery that the modern Durham village of Piercebrldge has been planted over the site of a once large and Important Roman station. The modern village Is located where the Roman road known as Dere Street crosses the Tees and excavation has revealed that the Roman camp was a few paces west of the road. Nearby has been dis covered the site of the Roman bridge. The 32 oak piles were to be seen in the bed of the river when the river was low, and fragments of Samlan were found In the bank nearby. Color and Light Are Co-Partners Official of Decorators' So ciety Urges Protection of Eyesight The Imnortarrf nart that nalntlnK and decorating play In aiding eye sight Is emphasized in a recent state ment by Ray Isard, well-known dec orator of Omaha, who la also first vice president of the International Society of Master Painters and Dec orators. "It ia not onlv Important to have dMinate llehtlnz facilities." says Mr. Isard, "but It is imperative to have wall surfaces that make tne most oi that llsbt. All members of the paint ing craft In the country are being urged to support wholeheartedly the splendid Better Light Better Sight Movement Such backlnr is not only a benefit to every community but a humanitarian service for those wno, as a result, guard their priceless gift of good eyesight" Mr. Isard calls attention to the fact that this movement applies not only to the home but also to the factory and office, to schools and hospitals. In talking of such structures, Mr. Isard says that window openings in the walls of light shafts and exterior areaways need particular attention. Manv such "wells" receive I'rtle light and cause the rooms on wLlch they open to be dim and gloomy. "When such areawavs and light shafts are painted white," points out Mr. hard, "a flood of lieht Is re flected through the windows and the adjacent rooms are made much brighter. Seeing conditions are great ly Improved and effllclency Is in creased. "Owners of large office buildings are becoming more and more con scious of the way Illumination can be Increased by reflection and of the saving of their tenants' eyesight This has brought about the painting of the dark and dismal areas," Mr. Isard states. "Scientists have established the fact that unpalnted red brick has a co efficient of light reflection of only 15 or 20 per cent, while the same brick painted with a high-grade white paint has a reflection co-efflclent of 80 per cent," Mr. Isard points out. He urges all owners of buildings to get behind the Better Light Bet ter Sight campaign by repainting dark areaways. "They will not only be rendering their tenants a real service," Mr, Isard atates, "but. ten ants will be easier to attract and hold as s result of the brighter Quar. ters they have to offer." , v Mold Dafiat Rataarch " The tobacco raiser of the South Is forced to carry on a survival of the fittest battle against a disease which appears to have obtained a firm foot bold. The disease, designated by the rather poetic names of blue mold or downy mlldev., attacks the plants In the seed bed. Despite years of re search, no effective method of di rect attack on the disease have been perfected. The only method left to the tobacco grower la to plant so much of the seed that enough sur vivors for transplanting may be ob tained despite the disease. An Advantage Whatever busies the mind without corrupting It has at least this ad vantagethat It rescues the day from Idleness; and he that Is never Idle will not often be vicious.
