A Norway Used UrafQii '
China is not the only CQUfltTJT fa
which dragons are used as a decorative
motif. The old "stavkirker"
or wooden churches, built centuries
ago when Christianity wus young,*
are forming one of few links between
modern Norway and the
Viking past, still show dragon heads
on gable ends. For centuries the
dragon was on$ of the favorite em- i
blems of pagan Norway, especially
as a figurehead for the prows of
her Viking ships. The men who
built the ships and decorated them
with dragon heads also built the nation's
first churches.- The church
f structure allowing them more exercise
of imagination, Viking carpenters
not only put dragons on the
gables but also carved those emblems
into the columns, the capitals
and even the door frames of the
buildings.
Varieties of Tea
The difference between black and
green ten is wholly a matter of preparation.
The green variety is what
makers call unfermented tea and
the black is fermented. Fermentation
in this instance means about
<4he same as oxidation, the leaves
remaining in the open air for 20 to
30 hours. Certain oxidizing ferments
work chemical changes in the leaf
that make it black.
100 Foot Funnels
The enormous size of the Queen
Mary funnels, 100 feet in circumference
and 36 feet in extreme diameter,
may be visualized when compared
with traffic tubes and tunnel^1
in operation in New York city. The
Holland tube i& 2916 feet in diameter,
the New York Central tunnel
25 feet, and the Pennsylvania railroad
and East river tubes are each
23 feet.

LEO, TURN8 PHILOSOPHER

Princeton's Don Hon ing.
Not that other parte of hie body aro
building up to offset the lose of the
Umbo. Weeks stretching into months
on a hospital cot aren't conductive to
building physical strength.
It is from the mental angle that
the law of compensation le building
and giving the big tackle a philosophy
of life which is deep and rich?far
beyond hie years. There Is plenty of
time to think in a hospital, and the
thoughts can make or tjjreak one's future.
They are not going to break
young Mr. Herring's future.
Had lie been made of less stern
stuff, he easily could havq .^resigned
himself to a future of self-pity, to the
role of martyr. His answer to such
an easy path is a robust razzberry.
In fact, he objects heatedly to the
mention of the word cripple.
In a letter to a similarly afflicted
youth, Herring exposes a philosophy
whij>'h many a graduate football player
would do well to heed. The letter
was to Edwin Collins, 8t. Benedict's
Prep player of Newark, N. J., who lost
a leg as a result of an injury in the
St. Benodict's-Vlllanova freshman
game.
"This Idea of being crippled Is all
baloney," Herring wrote. "It's up to
fellows like you or me or thousands
of other people who have artificial
legs today to go out an<r prove that
we can make good."
Pointing out that there are "a lot
more Important things than football
in life," Herring touches a point that|
too many former football stars have
realised too late.
* "There are a lot of former AllAmericans
who are failures because
they couldn't forget their football
fame and go out and make a success
of life," ho wrote,. "They try to live
on their past."
Then, as a word of encouragement
to younger Collins, Herring added:
"Nearly every great man had some
sort of handicap?not that I'll be a
great man or anything?but get the
idea."
Herring probably realized all this
in a detached sort of way long before
that ill-omened Saturday when he was
carted from the field on a stretcher,
but it hits him right between the eyes
now. He is well aware that football
is Just a game to be played and then
forgotten. It is to be replaced by the
more serious responsibilities of life,
and not something that, through a
boy's inability to forget his hour of
glory, will be a millstone around his
neck the rest of his life.
Nile Klnnick. the Iowan who had
heaped upon him this Fall about all
the honors the footbull world Is capable
of bestowing, took the honors
wilb-ft-dr.v. if appreuiHi-ive grin
"Next year it will be somebody else,
and I'll be forgotten," he said simply,
realizing only too well that nothing
is forgotten quite as quickly as yesterday's
hero.
The woods are full of yesterday's
heroes who,still are in a collegiate
daze?they are unable to- forget the
roar of the crowd and to take their
places in the background as new
stars flash.
That is not condemning the boys,
a vast majority of whom have the
same sensible outlook as Herring and
Klnnick. And it takes a level head
to keep on an even keel through the
sea of publicity and hero worship
which are accorded Saturday s heroes.
Young Mr. Herring is using _ just
such a level head to paint the sport
for with I It is?a sport, and a fine one.
STRANGE DOINGS
Late reports from fsendon make the
"suicide" of the C.rnf Spec seem
stranger. The German ship, clearly,
defeated the British cruiser, hixeter,
' and had the Speo turned on the Kxe
: ter, the latter might have been sunk
The Germans may not have known
' (he extent of the damage done to the
Kxeter, but they did know she had
been forced out of the fight, and fron,
i that fact they might have, concluded
that the Spee's gunnery wa? good
' and that in a dash and a fight fot
freedom other British vessels woulc
be injured, or even sunk. The Gra
Spoe, 1n other words, could have beer

Australian Forces
Now In England
London, Doc. 26 - The first contingent
of Australian forces to reach
England since the war started landed
at a south coast port today. All were
members of the air service.
Arrival of the tanned Australian
squadron marked the second such
demonstration of empire solidarity In
little more than a week. The other
was arrival of a division of the <^pnar'
dlun active service force Sunday and
Monday of last week.
The Australian contingent Is a ful*
ly tralfied squadron of alrmfen-rpUota,
gunners and observers?and ground
staff?mechanics ready to take over
their duties with the royal air force
Immediately.
They are under command of Wing
Commander L. V. Lachal, who preceded
the squadron to England and was
at the dock to greet them as they
marched off singing " Roll Out The
Barrel."
First wartime experience for the
Australians will be with u British
coastal command. ^
Bach of Liechtenstein's 1,800 school
children found a present of five SwIbs
francs (about $1.16) in an envelope
bearing the crown of this tiny principality
when they went to school on
Thursday. They were a holiday gift
from the young ruling prince, FranolS
Josef, who has left his estate and cas-j
ties in Germany and moved into a
castle overlooking the principality's
65 square miles, for tfyp 'ijrst time
since he was crowned his uncle's heir
last year. .
General Q. M. Stern, on? of the Soviet's
youngest military leaders, has
been put in charge of the Red army's
Invasion of Finland. He was in command
of Russian troops In the undeclared
qff-and-on war fought with Japan
in 1938.
Two train wrecks in Germany, both
caused by blackouts, took the lives ot
184 persons last Saturday. This brings
Germany's total railroad accident total
to 10, with a loss of 321 lives,
since the ivar with the Allies started
almost four months ago.
