According to Dr. George Granger Brown of the University of Michigan, gasoline as an ex plosive has 10 times the explosive power of dynamite. 2. The building has a floor area of 14 acres. The structure stands in a park of nearly 50 acres. The dome is 387 feet in height. 3. It is designed so that it would immediately sink to the bottom of the channel and not congest the harbor. 4. It is almost 800 feet longer than a land mile. 5. A wall, the northerly defense of the city, once ran along it. 8. Italy is now referred to as a corporative state. The legislative powers of parliament were sur rendered to the council of corpor ations, set up January 18, 1934. Mussolini is the head of this. 7. It is said to be that of the late William Cullen Bryant Kemp. Returning to college at approxi mately forty years of age, he took courses in almost every school and department of Columbia uni versity up to the age of seventy. His degrees included A. B., A. M., Ph. D., LL. B., LL. M., M. E., E. E., C. E. and Phar. G. 8. In reality, it has not. Am sterdam is the capital and The Hague is the seat of government. The term, capital, does not carry the same meaning associated with it in the American mind. It con notes merely a chief city or me tropolis. Advertising Reduced Cost A third of a century ago the price of the cheapest automobile was about $5,000. Today a much better car can be bought for around $700. Advertising created demand, demand created mass production, with many times the rumber of jobs, and mass pro duction improved the quality and reduced the price.

She withdrew her hand from Trent's arm, walked back a step or two, tossed her bouquet among the bridesmaids, waited to see it scatter in four parts, turned, and ran out through the gateway to the limousine. Reporters and camera men flocked after her. Machines clicked. Mark Trent fairly lifted her into the car. He blocked the door from curi ous eyes as he bent forward and kissed her on the lips. It was a ten der kiss. There was reverence in it, there was a promise in his eyes, but laughter in his voice. "That’s an important part of the ceremony, isn’t it? Hold out your left hand, Brooke." He pressed a ring on her finger. "This is what I had for you." He turned away as Madame Ce leste hurried up. "Back to the salon!” She gave the order to the chauffeur with the air of a queen on location. She pushed aside billows of tulle, and sank into the seat beside Brooke who hid her left hand in the satin folds. As she drove home from Car- ston’s Inc. dressed in the tweeds in which she was to travel, Brooke kept looking at the ring on the third Anger of her left hand. The soft flush of a tropical eve ning was stealing forward when she entered the patio, the glamour of night was settling over the dark mystery of the sea. The afterglow turned the masts of the distant yacht to red gold. Birds twittered sleepily. The fronds of the royal palm stirred gently. A man who was pacing back and forth came to ward her quickly. Brooke’s pulses which had been none too steady broke into a quickstep. “I thought you would be flying through the air by this time, Mark,” she tried to say indifferently. "Did you think I would leave my Oride?" She avoided his disturbing eyes. “Bride! The wedding party turned into a riot, didn’t it? It was fun. Great theater.” "Just a minute, dearest. Stop and get your breath while I explain my part of it I told you that I met some men I knew this morning. They were all excited over a plan to surprise a wedding party at a fashion show with groom and ush ers; they were a lot of boys all set for a lark; made me feel young just to listen to their fooling. When I found you wouldn’t play round with me I joined them. I didn’t know till the last minute that they’d picked me for the groom—not a tactful selection, and I refused the honor. But when I saw you com ing up that aisle—well, they would have had to battle over my dead body to take my place. Forgive me, will you?” His caressing voice sent a ripple along Brooke’s veins. “There’s nothing to forgive. I thought it was fun." "Then we’ll let that ride for the present. We’ve got to hustle. I have a message for you from your mother.” L m 111 e V Lormcj “From Mother! Where did you get it? How?” "You dear! I phoned her ten days ago.” "Phoned! Not to England.” "To England. It’s being done some, you know.” "Of course I know. Don’t, don’t be so wooden.” "Wooden!” His laugh sent Brooke’s hands behind her to clasp each other. "First I was a silent policeman, now I’m wooden. That also we will take up later. I didn’t know what you had written your mother about the new will I thought she should understand that your Income was the same as when she left; otherwise she might not dare spend money to rush home for the premiere erf Sam’s play this week.” "It is not the same as when she went away.” "Your mistake. It Is. She ar rives in New York tomorrow." “Tomorrow! I don’t care what it costs. I'll fly.” ”1 thought you’d feel that way. I have reservations for us for the night plane.” He glanced at his watch. "Throw some things into a suitcase, air-weight, remember. I have a car outside. We have just time to make the flying field.” Was she real, was anything real, Brooke asked herself, as the auto mobile burned up miles and the broad road flowed away from it. It was alive enough now; the Palm Beach world was hastening to eat, drink, and be merry. Above, through the warm black velvet dome, dripped a million or two stars. A magic night. Shining auto mobiles, gracefully long and low; others, silent, powerful, fast, pro vided glimpses of gay wraps, films of chiffon, glints of lame, smooth heads, waved coiffures, sparkling jewels, the sombre black of eve ning clothes. Chairs propelled by boys with faces dark as chunks of obsidian held gayly appareled oc cupants. She glanced at Mark Trent beside her. Was he real? As if he had divined her question, he touched the ring on her left hand. “Like it? Is it big enough, gor geous enough?” "It’s perfect” "Then you’ll wear It always, won’t you? You know that I love you, have loved you from the moment I caught you up from in front of that roadster, that I want you to marry me, don’t you? You didn’t think for a minute that I would leave you behind here, did you?" His hand tightened on hers. He caught her close. His eager, ardent lips on hers stopped her un steady voice. The car drew up with a jerk. The driver pulled open the door. "We made it, boss—” He stopped. Put his full-moon face Into reverse. Reminded over his shoulder: "You’ve got three minutes. Boy waiting for your bags. If you’ve de cided not to go—” Mark Trent jumped out Turned to Brooke. "Coming?” She put her hand in his. [THE END.] World May Have Been Without Bugs for 60 Million Years, Scientists Suspect Was this an almost bugless world for about 60,000,000 years? One of the enigmas of paleontology is that so few insect remains have been found in rocks of the Cretaceous geologic period which just preceded the coming of mammals, birds and flowering plants, says a writer in the Chicago Daily News. The Cretaceous was a time of abundant life. It was the heydey of the great dinosaurs. The Juras sic period which preceded it was notable for the abundance and vari ety of its insects. Yet up to the present practically none has been found, except for one locality in Germany, in Cretaceous rocks. There is no known reason why there shouldn’t have been insects. Abundant before, they became abundant again in the succeeding Eocene and have remained one of the dominant forms of life on earth ever since. Cretaceous climates were propitious for them. There was plenty for them to eat It is, of course, only by a rare accident that insect Imprints ever are preserved as fossils. But there are such vast numbers of "bugs” that even the rare accidents be come rather numerous. Smithsonian institution paleontol ogists are loath to believe that there actually were few Cretaceous in sects. The probability is that there are plenty of fossil imprints which haven’t been found in spite of in- , tensive search. While this condition remains, however, there is essentially a 60,- 000,000-year gap in the life story of * a * a. a a a a a a a. a a a a a > a winrn mnrmnrir wwwwwww ! STAR ! one of the dominant forms of ani mal life. Hence any sort of Creta ceous insect fossil is like the rarest sort of gem in the eyes of the pale ontologist Hence special signifi cance is attributed to two wing prints which have come into the Smithsonian collection from a Cre taceous sandstone in eastern Colo rado which have been tentatively dasified by Paul W. Oman of the department of agriculture. Both are "bugs.” A bug, m the terminology of the entomologist has the restricted meaning of a "HfeWr- opterous hemipterous” insect, and the word is correctly used in ref erence to the bedbug, the stinkbug, chinch bugs, and the like. Closely related are the hoppers, mealy bugs and the rest. One of the creatures described by Mr. Oman was a giant leaf hopper. It was bigger than the average of this family now extant and nearly as large as the largest The other, described from a smaller fragment of wing impression in the sand stone, was probably closely related to the present-day squashbug and not far distant from the bedbug or stinkbug. It is hardly conceivable that these two fragments and a few more like them are all the trace left behind them of the billions of billions of insects which must have infested the Cretaceous landscapes. >wb ta mg Sunspots were discovered in 1610, not long after telescopes were in* vented. | DUST * * JVlovie • Radio * ★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE*^ TITHEN motion picture pro- ▼ V ducers wander away from their office desks, they get the most promising ideas for pictures. For instance, it might never have occurred to the head man of the 20th Century-Fox studios to cast Shirley Temple and Sonja Henie in a film together if he hadn't happened to pass the ice rink where Miss Henie practices. At first he was horror-stricken to find the company’s precious child risking her neck try ing to learn Sonja’s whirlwind capers, but when he saw that she learned them as easily, and safely, as she does tap - dancing rou tines, he decided that she must do a skating picture with her teacher. At Paramount, the big boss heard sonja Henie shrieks of hilarity coming from the portrait photog rapher’s studio, and on investigat ing found W. C. Fields and John Barrymore clowning around as Ro meo and Juliet. Right away he was inspired to cast them together in a loony story called "Things Begin to Happen.” —+— Grown-ups may well envy the school children of today who learn their history lessons through such an exciting medium as the R. K. O. motion picture, “Victoria the Great.” Filmed in England with Anna Neagle in the role of the queen, this picture was made with the hearty co-operation of govern ment officials, so all the glory of real castles and authentic royal set tings make it a feast for the eyes. Sixty years of her life are cov ered in this story, so it is a series of dramatic high spots. And so skillfully has the story been told, it is just the story of a woman’s heart, a woman who was willful and pathetic—with all her regal splendor. —■¥— Lanny Ross was all ready to sign a contract to make pictures for M-G-M, when it occurred to him that with Nelson Eddy and Allan Jones already signing on that lot, there wasn’t much room for another singer. So, the shrewd Lanny hus tled over to Columbia Pictures’ stu dios and arranged to make pictures for them instead. There he will be sure to get all the good singing roles. Those folks you hear on Gabriel Heatter’s "We, the People” pro gram certainly enjby the evening of that broadcast. After the first broadcast, Heatter takes the whole troupe of visitors across the street to dinner. Afterward, they return to the studio for the repeat western broadcast. —*— All the youngsters who were thrilled over Dick Merrill’s ocean flights will wont to arrive for the first showing and stay all day when “Atlantic Flight,” starring Dick Merrill himself comes to their local theater. In the picture he is the ssme engaging, modest, casual young msn that he was in the news reels. And the picture boasts some hair-rsising stunt flying. —*— All three of the Lane sisters are now working for Warner Brothers. Priscilla, who with her sister Rose mary, provided many bright mo ments in Waring’s “Varsity Show,” will do the same for the next “Gold Diggers” in support of Dick Powell. And Lola, who has been in pictures much longer than her sisters, will be seen in "Hollywood Hotel” —■¥— Turning down several coast-to- coast radio programs offered him, Henry Hull, the dis tinguished stage ac tor, is going to try motion pictures again.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—How Christians Become Fruitful. v Thanksgiving day hag just afford ed each one Of us a special oppor tunity. to return praise to God for the fruitfulness of America’s broad acres. It is appropriate that we think today of the Christian life as manifesting itself in the bearing of fruit Christian work of which we spoke last Sunday may (at least in a meas ure) be imitated, but fruit cannot be imitated. It is the result of life and only those who know the new birth bear the fruit of Christianity. The chapter before us is a portion of Scripture which has been the pe culiar favorite of God’s children in all generations. It is at the center of our Lord’s words with his disci ples immediately before his death on the cross. Many are the expositions of this passage, but a beautifully simple one which came to the writer from Dr. W. Graham Scroggie is suggest ed as most helpful. I. Life and Fruitfulness (w. 1-8). Life results in fruit and there can be no true fruit where there is no life. Christ is the vine, the Fa ther is the keeper of the vine. We who are Christ’s are the branches abiding in him, that is, living our whole life in and for him in such close union with him that his life as the vine brings forth fruit in us as the branches. That is real Christian living. But, alas, there are branches that seem to belong to the vine but they lack the one indispensable evidence of life which is the normal bearing of fruit. These the Father must take and cast away to be destroyed. While we must not read into these words more than our Lord intended, let us beware lest we explain away their serious import. These are grave words of warning to false pro fessors of Christianity, but they are not spoken to distress and disheart en true followers of the Lord Jesus. Fruit in the Christian is undoubt edly first of all the fruit of charac ter but that character is also to show in conduct. Note the progress —“fruit” (v. 2), “more fruit” (v. 2), “much fruit” (v. 5). In order to bear more fruit there is need of pruning and cleansing (vv. 2, 3). Pleasant? Not always, but always profitable. Let us thank God for even the pruning knife when its work is needed. Do not miss the prayer promise In verse 7. It is an unlimited prom ise with a closely limited condition. Let us meet the condition and claim the promise. II. Love and Friendship (w. 9-16). “This is my commandment that ye love one another.” In verse 10 we read that to abide in the love of Christ we must keep his command ments and now we learn that it is his command that we love one an other. We are not to await the impulse prompted by the beauty or kindness or propinquity of someone, but we are to love one another. Many a Christian who has obeyed the commandments against steal ing, adultery, and blasphemy has never noticed that he is commanded to love. The joy of Christ was fulfilled on the eve of Calvary by the love of his disciples for one another and for him. He rejoices today tfhen we love the brethren and love him, for thus we enter upon the beautiful relationship of friends. Dr. Scroggie says, "We may be God’a children without being his friends; the one is based on his gift of life to us; the other, upon our of fering of love for him. Are you a friend of God? You cannot have God and the world for friends at the same time. The friendship of the world is enmity with God. The world hates Christ, and therefore will not love you if you are like him.” But, oh! the sweet intimacy of fellowship with him. Read verses 14 to 16. Chosen and appointed by him, for "he first loved us,” we are not kept in the distant position of servants but are brought into his circle of friends with whom he shares the glorious secrets of his Father, and our Father. It is a great thing to be a Christian, a friend of toe Saviour. Note how closely this friendship is linked with assurance and power in prayer. Dr. Gray points out that "there is nothing in this sublime discourse of more practical value than what it teaches about prayer. See 14:13; 15:18; 16:23-27. To ask in Christ’* Name is as though He asked Himself with all the assurance of answer which such a fact implies. This is the privilege of the true be liever who is thus a member of Christ’s body and of Him only, and it is a revelation of truth which Christ at no time had made known to His followers until now.” Silk Shades Give a Soft Glow 'T'HERE is subtility in the light that glows through a silk shade, and many decorators are using them "-for the room that needs the softness of plaited folds and the mellowness obtained by placing two tones of fabric on* over the other. Two tones of China silk, on* to be used for a plain lining and the other for a gathered outsids covering will make an attractiva shade. Before you buy the ma terial it is best to experiment with samples one over the other trying them both in daylight and over an artificial light. You will also need a roll of silk binding tape matching the top color of the shade. This tape is to wrap (he wire frame. And fancy braid ei ther in gold, silver or a harmoniz ing tone of silk is used to bind the top and bottom of the shade. Use cotton thread to match the out side tone of the silk. Slip the binding tape off the roll and wrap a rubber band around it as shown here at A. Working from the inside end of the tape wrap the frame as shown at B. The outside layer of silk is put on next. This is gathered both top and bottom and pinned to the wire covering as at C and D so that it is stretched quite tight. Joinings in the outside covering need not be sewed but may be hidden un der the folds. This material is sewed in place as at E. Next, cut a straight strip for the lining and fit it around the out side of the frame as shown here at F. Trim the joining allowing a seam as shown at G.

Good cooks in the home get mountains of praise—and that’s their chief recompense. Experience is profitable, but it frequently leaves scars. Don’t mention your friend’s first gray hairs unless your friend does. We do not want any more things that are a trouble to look after— and a steam yacht is one of them. Ideals Are Our Rudders "A rudder,” explained the boy who knew his boats, “is a stern necessity.” People with short tempers have to go through life “being for given.” Fond mothers scarcely ever want their sons to be President. They want them to be what they are best able to be. His Inspiration We prefer, perhaps, our imagi nary picture of our friend, rather than the real one. He, in his af fectation, tries to live up to it. “Protecting” wild animals merely to slaughter them doesn’t seem to be the ideal ideal. It doesn’t matter so much if a very young man loses his heart and his head at the same time. It is expected of him. frame at the bottom as at H. Trim quite close at the bottom.
