9* ' • ' ' f ' • ^ • - • ! < :Sr THE WORLD'S GREAT EVENTS ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE <e by Do4d. M»»d * Compmjr.) : Arnold von Winkolriod SANDWICHED In between several large European nations Is a little, mountainous country made up of twenty- two tiny states. These state* differ from each other In religion, j ltlcs. Industries, language and a hundred other points. Yet each and all are spendfdly patriotic «nd united ft) their compact little federation. Their unity and freedom were bought by ccnturies of bloodshed-and heroic resistance of stronger powers. Tt^)» 'confederation of united provinces, or! "cantons," is Switzerland. It consists of former fragments of Italy, Germany and France welded Into one nation. A few of these cantons banded together In 1291 In a defensive alliance against any outside toe, but particularly against Austria. Other cantons from time to time joined the alliance, until by the end ef UJP Fifteenth century Switzerland was practically an Independent country, with German, French and Italian as its official languages. The chief promoters of the original anion were the men of the yohwy* valley, and teom these the names "Swiss" and •MBwItterland" are derived. Switzerland's oldest and most relentless enemy was Austria. Austria was a duchy, not an empire, in the early stages of the struggle and was ruled by the Hapsburgs. The Hapsburgs, eager to annex new territory, encroached on Switzerland. The hardy mountaineers endured bat a brief period of tyranny and soon flew to arms against their oppressors. Two heroes stand out as foremost in beating back the invaders. In 1315 an Austrian governor, Gessltr by name, was put In charge of the Url district of Swltserland. Among other acts of tyranny he caused his bat to be mounted on a pole and commanded all passersby to bow to It. ' William Tell, a peasant, happened along, his crossbow slang over his shoulder and leading his little son by the hand^ He refused to salute the hat Gessler ordered his arrest. Learning that Tell was a famous marksman, {he governor ordered |ilm by war of punishment, to slioot an apple off his own son's bead. Tell accepted the perilous test, ang at the first shot split the apple In half without injuring the boy. Qessler was about to release him, ^hen he noticed a second arrow stuck through the peasant's belt and asked why it was there. To shoot you If I had slain my soji!" was Tell's reply. Qessler, In fury, commanded him to be bound, thrown Into a boat and rowed to the governor's castle on Lake Lucerne. On the way a storm sprang op. The boat was In danger, and Tell, being a skilled sailor, was unbound and set at the helm. H{ steered the boat on a rock, leaped ashore and escaped, shooting Gessler through the heart as the latter reached land. Tell then fled to the mountains and rallied Ids countrymen to resist the Austrian punishment that was certain to follow. Nor was he mistaken In his belief, for the Austrian Archduke I^eopold, with cearly 20,000 men. Invaded Switzerland. Less than LflOO Swiss gathered to oppose the Invasion, and took up a position at the top of a steep mountain pass at Morgarten. The AustrJans charged up the slippery slope, bat were met by an avalanche of tree trunks and bowlders hurled down by the defenders. After a fruitless effort to overcome the handfal of mountaineers the Aastrlans were driven back In wild disorder, leaving 1,81)0 dead on the field. This victory attracted other cantons to-the federation and taught Kurope a wnoiesome respect tor the plucky little states. But sixty years later Leopold in, nephew of the archduke who was so soundly trounced at Morgarten, led an army 6.0UU strong against Switzerland. About 1,600 8wlss advanced to check him; and on July 9, 1386, the two armies met on a meadow slope near Sempacfe. The ground was uneven and marshy and broken by streams and hedges. The beavy-armed, mounted Austrian* could not deploy In such quarters as rapidly and skillfully as the lightly equipped Swiss infantry. Yet by force of numbers they made headway against the weaker foe and left nn weak place In their barrier of spearpolnts through which the patriots coald break. They were rapidly surrounding the Swiss preparatory to catting them to pieces, when Arnold •on Wlnkelrled, from the canton of Unterwalden, rushed forward against the serried line of Austrian spears, - and shouting, "Hake way for Liberty J" grasped all .the spears within his reach and gathered their points to his own breast. As he fell, pierced through and through, the weight of his body dragged the spears' points earthward With him, leaving a gap In the Aus- , trtan lli!ie which his comrades rushed though, over his dead body. The result of the battle of Sempach was to break Austria's power in the united cantons. Other nations from time to time attacked the little free country, but with no better result. ^ And so, through the centuries, the tiny independent nstion, whose watchword Was "Liberty 1" wrenched victory from adversity and freedom from the stronger bands of oppression, proving, even as the United States was later destined to prove, that mere force and tyranny can nev^r bind men who are resolved to be mfe 11 > t »•»»»»»»•»»!; Dad's Idea About Nancy's Hubby By DOROTHY DOUGLAS (Copyright) NANCY had come on' to New York to spend her last three" months of maidenhood with her loved parents before her plunge in October, into the matrimonial whirlpool. She want ed to have every precious minute she could with them before the ties usual with marriage bound her more or 1 to Snm and the Middle West. Nancy had been working hard and looked a hit peaked when she arrived at her parents' home In Staten Island. And to bring back the roses to her cheeks, Nancy's mothes had Insisted on her taking the ferry over to New York each morning with her fattier. Nancy loved the daily blow on the ferry and she and her father had chummy walks and chats daring that hour on the hay. "I wish sister could have come on for the summer," said Nancy. *'She gets a bit lonesome when I'm away." "Not half so lonesome as your mother and I are going to be when our pet Is married and tied down to her household In the West," said "her father, with much feeling In his voice and eyes. "-- Frankly, neither her father nor her mother was particularly fond of the yonng man Nancy was to marry but both were wise enough to say nothing about it. It was Nancy and not themselves who had to live with Sam. It was during one of the morning trips across the bay that her father broached a subject he had been pondering on for weeks. fl say, Nancy, do you think If we managed to meet a few nice chaps round about here, that your sister. Gladys, would consider coming on for a month? She's keen on a good time, and, as a matter of fact, I've sort of picked out a young chap whom I'd like her to know.'* "Oh. dad, I think that a corking idea. Sis would certainly come Bast if we had some good ellgibltes about Who Is this wonder man?" "Well, when we reach the other side of the ferry, you just cast a glance at the man standing alongside the railing. His hair is short and sort of reddish and be has a dauntless look about the eyes that makes me think he's made of the right stuff." , , All interest and with a somewhat flushed face, in case dad's young man was the very one she herself had selected as being of unusual attraction, Nancy went along with her father. - i The young man with the reddish hair and dauntless eyes had be?n finding NanCy good to look upon for many days. All this was quite apparent to dad. •'Weil?*' questioned her father when they were out of earshot, "what is the verdict? Think Gladys could fancy him?" "I'm quite sure--Gladys could," replied Nancy and the slight hesitation was not lost on her father. "He looks just about as fine a type as one could wish to see," she added, and somehow the vision of Sam, out in the Middle .West, suffered by comparison. "All right, I'll get acquainted with him this evening on the way home and ft the sails are set right I'll ask your mother what 8he thinks <>f Inviting him to the house." "I'm sure mother will be game," laughed Nancy. "You know she'd tell in with any scheme that was to bring her family all under the same roof." Nancy's vohre broke just the littlest bit and she snuggled her arm close within her father's. "You know, dad. I sometimes feel as if I just simply couldn't stand It to marry Sam--and live way out West with him. It nas seemed so heavenly being here with you and mother that--that--" "There, there Honey," said her Wise tether, "you'll get over that feeling once you're Sam's wife and the kiddles are all over the place." And though dad was teasing Nancy to bring back the smiles he knew deep in his heart that the trouble with Nancy was that Sam was not Mr. Right. And what's more dad knew that the reddish-haired man with the brave eyes was, and that if he could manage things properly without bungling-- well, Nancy would not be tied down matrimonially in the Middle West . Nancy was filled with tremendous «fcyness next morning when on the ferry she realized that dad was making straight for the new friend he had made. The two men shook hands and there was no doubt about the younger •one's delight at meeting both dad and a second later dad's daughter. "This daughter of mine is enjoying all the freedom she fan before jumping Into the hoop," laughed her father; "going out West to be married in October." And, as he knew It would, the Information cut like a knife and dad felt that Nancy herself had l&t the eflge of it «, However, there were two or three glorious summer months ahead in which to form friendships for Sister 'Gladys. And all the time Gladys' mother and father sat back "comfortably wondering when the bomb of love developing rapidly under their happy eyes, would explode and Nancy and the rMhaired man come to their senses and express openly what was smoldering within fhelr 'hearts. Kut the.v didn't know that Nancy had already written t*» Sam and that affairs were straightening out Ulcely. for sister Gladys had already vStfiped Sam ifor hersert. - j FIND SOUND WAVES w *1MAT DEAL DEATH ittfi met# »* 6, 1928 mm rj&o,".

Berkeley, Calif. -- Death souud vrvesl • ^ An experiment in this strange new field has been successfully carried out by three University of California scientists. They demonstrated that! high-frequency sound waves, emanating from u crystal vibrating at the rate of 75u,uvx) times a second, will kill large protozoa. So terrific and so Instantaneous was the effect of the lethal sound w ves, that the gill filaments of the protozoa were torn from their bodies: Strange fields of conjecture for scientists of the future have thus been oi>enf$. -.-'VV" Tell of Work: A. R. Olson, associate professor In the department of chemistry, one of the experimenters, pointed out that previous xperiments had been con ducted iif this same field* that he and his associates, F. O. Schmltt, research assistant, and^C U. Johnson, teach ing fellow, have merely carried <»u tinwork to a higher degree of perfec Uon. KencflciaJ rather than destructive results art more the goul of the 'ocai scientists. Bloodless surgery ha* been accomplished by the same metli wis used to kill the microscopic or ganisuis. j In carrying out the experiment, which was begun two yeurs ago, the.\ found it necessary to invent and to build much of their own apparatus They perfected glass needles to carr.v the sound vibrations, the points of which were so fine as to be almost invisible. * This delicate instrument was neces sary because all the experiment? must needs be carried out under, powerful microscopes. They were ex pioring In a World unknown to the naked eye. , First a drop containing the protozoji was placed on a microscopic slide and a glass cover laid over it. The slide was then laid over an oscillator dteh. Sensitive Needle. The oscillator dish contained a crystal which was caused to vibrate by the passage of an electrical current through the liquid in which It Was Immersed. , In conducting the experiment with planarlan worms, the glass needle was used. The large end of the needle was placed In the oscillator dish, and the point of the needle di rected against the worm. So delicate was this operation that the scientists used an extremely sensi tlve instrument the micromanipulator, with which to guide the needle. They discovered that when tfte needle point was placed against the wofrm, even though lightly, the vibrating' point instantly burned the worm. If the shank of the vibrating point was placed across the worm, the. body would be seve/ed. . Other men have worked on this phenomenon of the effect of high frequehcy sound waves, it was explained, but none have developed the technique to such a high point. With the glass needle as perfected on the, Berkeley campus It Is possible to observe the effect of sound waves not only on each tiny cell, but even on parts of the celL and Mrs. Grantfcaitf, Sr., spent Thanksgivllp^wy with Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Burfjptt at Slocum Lake.
