FAGB SIX. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA \ THURSDAY, MAY DIG WATER TUNNEL FAR UNDER GOTHAM Job Costing $43,000,000 Is Nearly Finished. New York.—Some 500 feet beneath the point where Stein way avenue in Queena runs into the East river, at the foot of what is known as shaft 9A, drillers are now putting the finishing touches to their three years’ task <>f excavating the 19 shafts and 20 miles of city tunnel No. 2, the $43,000,000 :water conduit being built by the board of water supply. The last section of rock in the tunnel Itself, between —shafts 2A and 3A under the Brona^riv. er, was “holed through” recently. All that remains of the excavating phase of the work is to round out the system of access tunnels and pumping cham bers designed to permit drainage of the entire aqueduct from shaft 9A. Since March, 1929, gangs of men have been working 24 hours a day, six days a week, slowly linking up from Hill View reservoir in Yonkers to Red Hook in Brooklyn this rock tunnel, longer than any yet constructed by man. More than 1,300,000 drill holes have been “shot” with approximately 7,000,000 pounds of dynamite to dis lodge the 1,500,000 cubic yards of rocks that have been removed. Large enough to hold a subway cur with a man standing on top of it. and as long as the run from Van Court- landt park to Atlantic avenue, Brook lyn—in some places as far beneath the sidewalk as the Metropolitan tower is above it, and in no place less than 520 feet under ground—this mam moth pressure tunnel Is destined to supply Brooklyn, Queens and a part of the Bronx with 700,000,000 gallons of water a day. With this flow and that from existing aqueducts, it is es timated the city will be able to meet Its requirements as to delivery of wa ter until 1950. Engineers of the board of water sup ply report that the tunnel Is 90 per cent completed, with the contractor, Patrick McGovern, Inc., working about one year In advance of his schedule. They plan to open the gates to the downtake shaft at the southern end of Hill View reservoir and till the tun nel with water early in 1933. Communique of Premier Ha» Country Guessing Bucharest.—Kumanians, who are not a stupid people by any means, are trying to figure this one out. It is an official communique which was pub lished in Prime Minister Jorga's own newspaper. The communique reads: “The prime minister received no letter of protest from Minister t\ Argetolauu. “The prime minister was not phoned up by Mr. Argetoianu. “No ministers In the present cabi net are engaged to be married. “Subsecretary of State John Buz- dngan Is nobody’s fiance. "The prime minister has no mar riageable relatives. “Liars and slanderers like those living In Rumania don't exist even In the lowest of the low tribes of Afri can savages.” Stanford Coed* Pick ^ He-Man Student Ideal Palo Alto, Calif.—The answer to a Stanford university coed’s prayer is a tall, unshaved youth, who wears dirty “cords,” use.<\ a sweater for un derwear, and who might very likely knock down his female companion if ■be displeased him. That, at least, is what the coeds Indicated In a recent survey. Of the 500 girls in school, 325 said they liked the rough, he-man type; 150 said they preferred the sleek, fashion plate type, and 25 said they weren’t particular so long as they had a man. Man Hangs Self After Ten Minutes in Jail Herkimer, N. Y.—Joseph Vincent, thirty five years old, arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct on com plaint of his wife, told police he would hang himself If put behind the bars. The police laughed. Ten min utes later Chief Keller found him sus pended by his neck from the top of his cell block by his necktie. Idle Forfeit Labor Fees Through Trick London.—"Will six unemployed men go at once to the entrance hall, where they will be given particulars of a Job." This announcement flashed mi the screen at a Kennington cine ma was immediately followed by a rush of unemployed men. In the entrance ball they found a man who stated that he need ed six men for special work. Hi /said be would take a number of names and addresses and let * them know later who had been selected. But the men heard nothing further untij they visited the la bor exchange to draw their week ly benefit. Then, according to lalmr cir cles, those whose names had been taken were Informed flint their unemployment pay would be stopped for six weeks, as they had been found to be frequent ers of cinemas instead of using their benefit money for desirable Ancient Ethiopia and Egypt Under One Ruler The country known today as ancient Ethiopia, wag known to the Greeks and Romans of that time as Aethlopia and to the Hebrews as Cush. It lay to the south of Egypt, and In Us most extended sense It embraced modern Nubia, Sennanr, Kordofan and, north ern Abyssinia that is about the region now known as the Sudan and northern Abyssinia, The northern boundary of Ethiopia was the southern boundary of Egypt, and It is Indicated in Ezekiel 29:10, where Syene is mentioned as marking the border. The Hebrews do not appear to have had much practical acquaintance with Ethiopia Itself, though the Ethiopians were well known to them through their Inter course with Egypt. The Inhabitants of Ethiopia were a Hamitic, or as one might say, an African or negro race, and were divided into various tribes of which the most powerful were the Sahaeans. The history of Ethiopia is closely Interwoven with that of Egypt. The two countries were not infrequent ly un I ted under the rule ofthe same sovereign. Shortly before the birth of our Lord a native dynasty of females, holding the official title of Candace, held sway In Ethiopia, and even re sisted the advance of the Roman arms. One of these queens is noticed In Acts 8:27. The latter part of this chapter, beginning at verse 20, tells the beau tiful story of Philip coming upon the man of Ethiopia journeying “unto Goza, which Is desert.” The traveler wag “of great authority under Candae, queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for worship.” 26TH, 1932. German Folk FcstiraU Recall Old Tradition* Many a tradition and ancient observ- British Royalty Seen Without Its Trappings One day he (William IV) went to inspect the Tower of London, and a contemporary writer gives this picture of the royal party, wrote Clare Jer- rold In “The Early Court of Queen Victoria.” “The king is a little, old, red-nosed, weather-beaten. Jolly look ing person, with an ungraceful air and carriage; and as to the duke of Sus sex. what with liis stiff collar and cocked hat bobbing over his face, noth ing could be seen of him but Ids nose. He seemed quite overcome with heat, and went along puffing and panting with the great, fat duchess of Cum berland leaning on bis arm. The queen is even worse thuM I thought— a little insignificant person as ever I saw. She was dressed, as perhaps you see by the papers, ‘exceeding plain,' in bombazine with a little shabby mus lin collar, dyed Leghorn hat, and lea til er shoes.” Famous Bank Vault* Specially constructed vaults have been provided to bouse the gold re serve of France. Tlwse vaults are in a big chamber, covering two and a half acres, 200 feet below the - earth’s surface. Above the ceiling is first 40 feet of water and then 50 feet of solid rock. This safety dejmsit was built since the World war. A place was planned which would not only be safe from bombs but where the bank force guarding it would be safe from gas attack. A supply of fresh air Is drawn Into the vault chamber through a se cret source. The fact of the vaults being under water is explained as re sisting from the flow of a river be neath tlie city of Paris. This was dis covered when the opera house was built, Just before the War of 1870. ance have succumbed 'to the frantic speed and Insatiety of an Increasingly materialistic age, hut one still finds In Germany folk festivals that go hack many centuries for their beginnings. This is especially true of religious fes tivals—like that of Oberammergau— In Bavaria, and other parts of the country where ths population Is pre dominantly Roman Catholic. In some Instances, despite the march of secular and sordid trends, these archaic cele brations are perhaps more affection ately observed than ever before. The “Iveonhardtritt,” or procession of St. Leonard, which takes place in parts of Bavaria every November, Is one of the most popular of these old anniversaries. The most notable fes tival in honor of this saint is held an nually at Bad Toelz, a spa renowned for Its Iodine springs, where thou sands of sufferers from goiter and sclerosis seek relief. This famous re sort Is in the center of a rich farm ing and grazing country, and as St. Leonard has been the patron of cattle and other live stock ever since the Seventeenth century,* it seems only be fitting that his day should be specially honored here. In these ceremonies numbers of domestic animals, espe cially horses, are Included, moving In columns around the churches. In hum ble obeisance to their patron and pro tector.

A man traveled In Feb ruary from Abenieen down to London, and next day went on to Falmouth. Around Aberdeen the country was deep in snow. The Cui{pgoRjps were absolutely Arctic, and on Deeside curl ing was in full swing. Forty-eight hours later, at Falmouth, the sun was hot. daffodils and other spring flow ers were in bloom, and it seemed like another world. From northern Perth shire up to Braemar is a great stretch of country where snow falls at the end of October and ns a rule lies until the following March. Peat Still Popular In many places in the British Isles peat is still exclusively used for heat. The custom of cutting the peat and drying it for use during the winter months still persists in the very north ernmost part of Scotland, the county of Caithness. One of the features of a pent tire is the “lazy hole.” so-called because its contents, the ashes which fall from the lire, need only be re moved once a week. The last mem ber of the family to retire at night removes the embers from tlie hearth to the “lazy holof” where they smolder among tlie ashes throughout the. night. When morning comes, the embers are replaced on the hearth, and in the company of a fresh piece of peat soon brtfak into a cheerful blaze.

Washington.—All you who boast of ancestors, pause and take heed of the Beripatus. His family tree may go buck 500,000,000 years. The Mayflower? .William the Con queror? Adam and EveT Just fleeting incidents, modern up starts, to the peripatus. His clan may have known the time when it was the only living 1 creature on dry land. Evidence has been discovered by the Smithsonian institution that the peri patus, a small worm with many legs, has lived on earth at least half a billion years, practically without change. Fossilized remains of a crea ture preserved in rocks believed 500.- 000,000 years old, have been found tt be so much like the modern peripatus that it seems probable it must be an ancestor of his. If so, It mean6 the peripatus clan is one of the earth’s very first families. Dine* on Flies. The modern peripatus is described as the “world’s champion spitter.” He dines on flies that he brings down by “spitting” slime at them from reser voirs In his body. Powerful Jaws, pushed out of his mouth, then tear the fly to pieces. ( Evolution, apparently, didn’t h$ve much effect on the peripatus. The bid ways were good enough for him. The modern peripatus. slinking in the dark under bark of trees and stones, looks enough like his reputed ancestor to be his twin. The main difference Is that the older insect lived in the sea. The fossil believed to be the very distant great-grandfather of the peri patus of today was found in rocks in the Cambrian age, the oldest geologi cal period in which life is known to have existed on earth. Peripatus* may have been the first bold pioneer in the process of evolu tion. says the Smithsonian announce ment—perhaps the first to climb out of the primeval oceans and try living on land for a change. All life, most scientists agree, originated in tlie sea. Same Class. Wldle it is not positive that the half- blllion-year-old fossil is a peripatus, says Dr. Charles E. Resser of the Smithsonian, it lias been identified as a member of the same class of tlie family of nnthropods, a peculiar type of insects to which the peripatus be ltings, by Dr. G. E. Hutchinson of Yale, The foskil was found in British Co lumbia several years ago by Dr. Charles D. Walcott, former secretary of the Smithsonian institution.

America to Lead World in Architectural Ideas Rejecting imitation, architects and producers will create in America an, architecture more splendid than the world has ever known, it is predicted "by Harvey Wiley Corbett of New York, chairman of the architectural commis sion of the Chicago World’s fair in 1933. in a statement made public by the American Institute of Architects, of which he is a fellow. Architectural styles based on models from the past have served their pur pose, Mi*. Corbett declares, and are giving way to a “style of urehitecture which will not be a rehashing of some thing that has gone before; which will not be masquerading 1l borrowed clothes, but which will be a style and type of building absolutely expressive of this time, of this age, and of our life.” Our whole social organization, our industrial, commercial and leducatioha! Institutions are so totally different from anything tlie world has known before that for us to continue to try to house those industries within old forms that come out of the Middle ages and antiquity is ridiculous, he asserts. ft f ❖ f ❖ f T f ♦ T T T sis f X The People-Sentinel stands ready and willing to meet any reasonable copetition on job printing by out of town printing con- A) cerns, quality and quantity of work considered.

It has curiously long drooping lop-ears of about a foot long, which give It a strange uncanny ap pearance. and is nearly always oU a black color. “Thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Mount Gilead.” sang the writer of the Song of Solomon to his feloved one, (Song of Solomon IV.
