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

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

But the men heard nothing

Then, according to lalmr cir

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.”

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

Britain's Varied Climate*
There is no other country of similar
size which has so many climates as
Great Britain. 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.
Beat the egg yolks, add sour cream,
then sifted flojir; combine well, add
shortening, and lastly, beaten egg
whites. If the dough is not thin
enough to pour add cold water or
milk as needed to give the desired

large waffles. Tlie amount of fat

JIRA6 ABOUT FAMILY OELCO-LIBHT
Peripatus’ Folks Here Half
Billion Years.
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. Recent
studies have revealed its apparent re
lationship to the peripatus of today,
which crawls in the dark places of
Africa, Australia, South America and
the East and West Indies

Tlie army air corps says that a bi

because the two wings permit truss

better; also it permits the use of

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.

Syrian Goat Immortalized
The common gent of Syria and
Palestine, which is probably a sim
ilar animal to those tended by Abra
ham, Isaac and Jacob, stands on longer
legs than some other varieties, hut its
hair in some cases reaches almost to
the ground. 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. I) from which we gather
that, like the daughters of Erin,
though her skin waa fair, and her eyes
blue (like dove’s eyes) she had long

Remember that theire^are just as many different grades of paper
