Ten Days for Him OMAHA, NEB.--Edgar Stevens has an answer to what's in a name--in his case 10 days in jail.

"They call me 'Ten- Day Palmer/ " the judge said. Camera Rivaled r ;J Unusual Eyes 1 Could Tell at a Glance,' Meant by This Man; One-Half of National Wealth Land and buildings in the United States are now valued at approximately $170,890,000,000, or 54.4 per cent of the total national wealth. Great Dipper lime are eight stars in the Great Dipper. At the break in the handle is a double star. If you can see it, your eyesight may be considered good. FOR SPORTS WEAR ELKHORN, WIS.--Harold Gruewwald, 39 years old, means it when he says, "I could tell at a glance." He is gifted with what can best be described as a, "photographic eye." His eyes take in as many as 20 to 25 letters at a glance and his mind retains the image so that he can quickly give the middle letter of each word or the total of letters in each word. With amazing speed he can total the number of letters in a line of type after only a cursory glance, or enumerate the alternate letters and then go back and pick up those he missed. His vision also is sharper than ordinary in that he can read the letters on a distant billboard when the billboard itself is just discernable to others. Gruenwald says he first noticed his unusual ability when he was about nine years old. He rtiakes no attempt to explain it, but asserts: "When I was a boy I was ill a yeaf and read a lot. Numbers began associating themselves with words at that time. But it can't be just memory work, because I can give you the numbers of letters in a book of scientific words that are strange to me as easily as with more common words." Gruenwald's seven-year-old daughter, Jane, shows signs of developing the same ability, he says. So far, the man with the "camera eye" uses his gift only for amusement, but he hopes some day to find a practical purpose for his faculty. Objectors Find Ways to Dodge Service in Army LONDON.--Here are some results in the court for conscientious objectors to war service: ° 1.

( Steeplejack Atop Stack Clings Long in Danger LONDON.--A young steeplejack, Edward Teagle, 23, had a terrifying experience for more than half an hour as he clung to the top of an 80-foot chimney with no means of descent, while his mate lay dead on the ground below where he had fallen. Teagle and James Braham, 45, were standing on top of the chimney knocking away bricks with hammers and chisels. Braham lost his balance and fell. Clutching the ladder as he fell, he broke off the top portion, which went with him. Teagle thus was stranded. Firemen, using extension ladders, finally rescued him. Two days later Teagle was back at work on top of the chimney. Drowns in Vain Effort To Save His Fishing Pal MUSKEGON, MICH. -- Cecil Venne, 15 years old, small for his age and a weak swimmer, did not hesitate when his friend and fishing companion, Clarence Van .Orman Jr., 11, fell from a dock into 30 feet of water in Muskegon lake.

Norse's Blood Saves Lives A French woman of La Rochelle is to be reckoned among the outstanding blood-givers of the world.

She has given more than 454 quarts of her blood. Between Bordeaux and Nantes, that is to say for almost the entire length of France's western seaboard, Mile. Pineaud is the only "universal" blood giver.
