Count Niklas Zrinya used a charge of mortar Filled with broken iron to deftnd himself and his army in battle. The Czirknicz Lake is sometimes without water and at the bottom herbs grow. This may continue for weeks or mouths at a time before water again tills it. Zeuxis, who was a great Greek artist, thought his work so good that they could never have a price set on them because it would not be nearly cnou h, so he gave his pictures away free.

The cry of the umbrella bird resem- bles the lowing of a cow. The trunk fish got its name because of an inflexible arntor of hard plates that covers its body. The tirst umbrellas were not used as a defense against rain, but by the upper class of people as a sign of dignity or royalty. The Vicuna, a species of genus, has hardly ever been taken alive, and rc- sists all efforts made to domesticate it.

The night before the Ace had stolen 35,000 worth mf bonds from him. I-Ie said. he woultl ,give them a reward if they could get them back.

They made their plans :md calleal up the polieedepartment in a nearby town and asked them to come over when it was dark so that they could get the whole gang. About 7:30 they heard the sound of a horn and they knew that it was the police department. Both were very anxious to go to their job. On their way they saw a fire and some men. The police surrounded the camp. The signal was given and all the men ran for the plane h'it the Black Ace got there first and pot the girl in the rear cockpit and just had time to get away from the police. Tom caught one of the wing wires. He climbed to the Ace and started to light. Tom was knocked down. He was half dead but he managed to open his rarachute. As soon as he touched the ground jim asked him if he was hurt. Tom smiled. That was enough for jim for he knew that he was all right. Torn and jim went for the plane. They knew that they could beat the Ace because their plane was larger. ,lim took after the gun while Tom was on the wing, Jim swooped down and Tom jumped on the other plane.

Then Tom took the bonds from the Ace's coat and sent him for a ri'le. The last that lim saw of Tom and the girl was behind the clmvls. LIFE'S MYSTERY Once a lonely child there wandered, Fair and sinless was his face: Ile had seen no earthly sorrows, Forth he walked with childish grace liflnre his eager foosteps led him, There he turned his head so fair, In the studio of an artist He gazed at paintings rare. Then the artist was before him, Vlfondering, gazing. angel face. Rapture on its eager features That no sorrow could erase. Swiftly then he sketched the features Sketched the hairtof softest gold, Slcetched the parted lips of wonder And the round eyes, blue and bold. lindless years the painting hung there, Still the wondering artist kept it, Still he looked upon the fair child, IX-'ondered what was pure except it 'tN'here. he wondered. is a being XVho, as the child is as pure, l.: as bad, a face so hateful. Captured by cruel Satan's lure?

V Y junior Y 17 Class Propheozasf PROPHECY OF 106 I Th - dcor bell rang at 10:30 and the maid. with a pale face ran to answer it. VVe had been hearing queer stories of doorbell robberies, and naturally she was startled. To our intense relief, it was Melvin Harris. the patrol- man of the beat within which my home was situated. Inv ting him in I learntd tl1e reason for his late call, and to my surprise it was an order for subpeana. I had given my name as a witness in a recent murder. which took place at a week end party. a friend of mine, Eddie Dire, gave at one of his country homes, at New Years. The next morning. while breakfasting. I read the Morning N.ws to quiet my nerves. I learned that Superior judge Dienstag would preside, that the cele- brated Louis Barnett, would be defending attorney, and that States attorney. VVeichelsbaum, would be prosecut- ing attorney. The paper gave a very vivid account of the hz ppen ngs. I was present at the time. but my memory was quite blurred and the procgedings quite bewildering. 'the following announcement was written by-who do you suppcse? RUTH MILLER! GREAT MURDER MYSTERY TAKES PLACE AT HOME OF PROMINENT ATHLETIC! On January Ist, 1950. occurred one of the greatest murder mysteries known to Chicago pol'ce. The so-called N w Ytzr's Eve murder occurred under most peculiar circumstalnices. VVhile New Year's was being celebrated. at one of the country homes of Edward Dire. the mil- lZcnarc basket ball player. all of the help with the cxccption of three maids, a butler. and the livery men. left without notice. minus their baggage. A note with merely a figure 7.was found pinned to a sheet of music in the guest mns'c room and six others, in different colors were distributed throughout the house, Five more were found in tl1c servants' quarters. At about midnight thr air was r.nt with a piercing scream. The dancing :topped immediately, and a cause for the disturbance was sought, At about 3:30 A. M.. a body was brought in: that of a veiled woman in black. A quick check up was made. but none of the guests were missin-1. In the morning the servants returned, but would offer no ex- ' lf nation of thtir .unusual action. Among the guests were Mr and Mrs.. Berger tShirley Brusinl, Mr and Mrs. Levine lMi'dred Skcrosztwskal. and many others in the 1 cial l'm'ilight. Before their marriage. Shirley Brusin :nd Paul Berger w re the best professional dancers on Broadway. but they returned to Chicago for the wedding. Meanwhile Louis Lev'nc. had become one of the fore- mort basketball'-ccaches in the U. S. A.. while Mildred lad att'-ined fame through her vocal efforts. Detective Elv in Duda was working on the case. .. .-Xs I entered the court room. I was ushered to a side- l'0 lll. with tl-fee of my acquaintances: Clara Tessler, Dfirc-thy Tug nhaft. and Pearl Lichtcr. Clara had bc- c -me qu te wtIl.kncwn through her work in the field of business, and Pearl as well. Meanwhile Dorothy, had l't-cstne one of the for most teachers. at a fashionable tr vate school in Chicago. They told me that suspicion ' :ts thrust upon George Lucas. and Harold Marker. D:-rothy ti:rfu1'y informrd me that she and George were tngag d. and she ws to tzlze the stand in his defense Al! at once there was ,a commotion in the next room. Finally Iwas admittfgd to the court rcont, and, taken to tl e press table by Oscar Boxer. world famous, rpporter for the Tribunc. . He was acting in the capacity of Ccnnt R- potea, dur'ng the illness ofha friend, but was the regular South America corresponde,nt. Through his infiucnce, in spite of my being a witness. I was permitted I to hear the entire case. a part of which was beingbroad- cast over the raido-by Abe Miller. VVhen Dienstag entered the crowd raised a lusty cheer. but was soon quieted by bailitf Sidney Mesirow-after two hours of very effective pleading and surprising brilliancy. Barnett :uccetded in proving the innocence of the two suspects. When they wcre freed, the crowd seemed to agree with the verdict. and he became much more famous as a result. As we were leaving the court-room. I met Marie Steinke, a v.ry popular stenographer. in a large business concern, situated on Michigan Ave, That evening I decided to attend the Chicago Civic Shakesperian Society's presentation of The Tanning of the Shrew. A friend of mine. knowing my fondness for this sort of a drama secured tickets and at my interested inquiry answered lfVhy didn't you know-the great Madey is appearing tonight. ' The box office is always :old out we ks in advance for her presentations. The' name Madcy seemed so familiar I was simply bursting with curosity to see who ithis person could be. The play was a great success and'we' waited after it was over for zn ntrodncticn had been arranged. llvhen I finally did get a moment with her, I recognized her immediately. She l'ad not changed except to become prettier. and we ar- ranged to have dinner togttherthat evening. Wfe went to a prominent night club+the Rabin- owitzf' and we were. telcordially by Gertrude herself. It seein' d more like a lilream than reality. Very soon we mtt Mr. Paul Borgir and his friend. Abe Kluber, who was a renowned musical comrdy star, while Paul had attained fame through his printing. Suddenly the electricity failed. and in the confusion that followed much dan1age was done. Finally after at least thirty tninntes of darkness, electrician Emanual Lashover found the cause of' disturbance. and soon every- thing was going smoothly. After the evening's excitement we retired to Mis Madey's exclusive apartment in the Lobodinsky hotel. one of Chicago's most well known, and best patronized. The next morning we were told that the picture, Auld Lang Sync. was being played at the Abt Theater. The stars of this were Emily Kcuter. Eugenia Kuklevicz and Nathan. Goodman. This. being a talkie. was certainly :I howling success. The director was a woman, julia Shumorftz. who certainly did know her a b c's in direct- .ng. At that time of the year it was customary for thc employt rs to give vacations of one month and three days t-v their bfst stenographers. The lucky stenos were J nnie Farkas. Mi'drtd Miller. Ruth Miller, Jennie 0zo'v. Lillian Rome and Sarah Sager. They decided to spend th ir vacations in I-Europe, and as my Parisian trip was scheduled for that month. I agreed to accompany th in tl'ere. The th'rd day of the trip I was summoned to the c p':t'n's cabin on account ot' a difficulty concerning nn' iassport. I was nearly stunned, to see Raymond Larson rented in a comfortable deckrhair tilted in an angl-. smfkini a pipe! Vlfhcn the difference was adjusted. h- lD'C1ZlllC very friendly and invited me to din- -:'t th- t tiiic rs' table that evening, which I accepted. On !ook'n 1' o'er the passenger list. I was surprised to see that Flfr nc'- Abitz. Bessie Zitnick and Mildred Sclmeider were aboard also. ' In Prris I attended :t very well known ni'l-t club. for a thrill. and certainly received one whe't I heard Bt-rn'ce Deutsch playing with tl1e jazz orchestra. I returned to the United States well pleased with nty experiences and still marveling at the freak of fat - which caused my Zllllllllllg' reacquaintancc with former Sabiuite: Bee F:'.-enrm.
