I, Great Occasums Marked In Odd, Ummial Ways Man celebrates big events and big moments in unusual, unique and odd ways. Delving into ancient history, legend has it that Cleopatra dissolved a pearl worth around $375,000 in her big moment of meeting Mark Anthony. Emperor Vitellius celebrated his victory over one Otho by just eating and eating, mostly flamingo tongues. Milo of Crotona carried an old bull on his shoulders the length of the stadium at the Olympic games back in the Sixth century, B. C., establishing a world's record for the event and sending his name down the ages. The Messer Marco Polo, his father, and his uncle, to mark their return to Venice in 1295 after years of absence in far Cathay, appeared in their ragged garments, slit the seams and released streams of diamonds, rubies and sapphires, proving to all concerned that they were genuine Polos and relatives worth having. And going back about two centuries it is found that Benjamin Franklin in 1750 decided to kill the Christmas turkey by means of the latest thing, electricity, and proceeded to do so for the edification of a circle of friends. In the excitement, Franklin forgot to let go of something and the current miased the bird and gave um 0*e of the shocks of Ida life. i Letter] Washington, June 4>---Ventilation «f opinion witMa sffMaMten conthMsa to show iiiMiaitaliili an to President in tA, , Tha* aaa ot. ita ji hill| 'PMMna was to awaken the $«6ple 1 boaae front alarming Inertia a boat defonae is JaneraHy eoneered.

It is cogently Argued here that an overt act by a foreign power will determine th« time and place of this country's direct involvement fe vmr. No prophet is rash enough to answer the recurrent question -- "When?". Lawmakers returning from speechmaking tours over the holidays report .people at home are likewise unsettled in their opinions about the course of our international relations. The PresidentVSiscourse has provoked flocks ni rumen about the Capitol and in seetfoas rsanOto llrom this Whispering gaBaiy. Tbe proclamation of an "unlimited •mragsaCy" stirred laymen mere than eatpatta.

The ukasef on citizens cauthmed-partideatioe «ih anjiV <b ohwaniaation. insisted that the poUay "shotdd not be construed as implying an unfriendly attitude toward farm organisations." Meanwhile, highly placed agents went out among the farmers to recruit members in a new outfit committed to support of Administration farm plans. All of which indicates hot political battles in Congressional rural districts as the breach widens. If one of the hundreds of Army aircraft now traveling through the skies drops in on your backyard accidentally you have certain obligations in your role as an unexpected host. Orders have been issued by the Adjutant General of the Army reminding aviators of their duties to the government in paying these informal calls The flight commander or the next ranking survivor are requir only for to; will be eial Army fofms: flyers must nesses and info damaged proj matt is res; done by the aircraft or incident to ito repair or removaL" Furthermore, <&a wrecked flyers must inform their ItOat. that souvenir hunters shoald not be permitted to visit the scene es 'ft la the duty of the owner and not the Government to protect his property*' from intruders."

His opinion is that a alow driver causes the greater number of accidenta, becauae a slow driver is often lulled into a false sense of security. It is also a atrong temptation for the driver behind him to pass him and risk a collision. On the other hand the motorist who drives fast is conscious of his speed, is more alert and his reflexes, act more quickly i{ an emergency arises. .. . New Serarn Cares Meningitis "Paddy" Murphy, 14-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Murphy of Washington, D. C., was back at home recovered from a two-week siege of one of the deadliest of childhood diseases, influenzal meningitis. "Paddy"_ was taken to the hos- Sital with a fever of 103 degrees. trs. Murphy and hospital attendants said at that time be was not expected to live. Placing full confidence in the child's doctor, Mrs. Murphy gave permission for him to administer a new serum, never before tried in Washington. It worked perfectly, abetted by the chemical sulfapyridine and four blood transfusions. Somewhat weakened by the ordeal. but smiling nevertheless, Patrick played with his brothers after coming home, and for the first time in two weeks, slept in his own little crife.. v,}<P.^' a .$'•& .. taS . tVYf -- '-r '• IT . -f-i • • t.•*' r :•-#* • •••' -J - ,\i Oen't Be Match Maker Don't try to make every piece in the room match.

Probably this aspect of Congressional thinking hadsomething to do with the President's declaration that national defense pro-' duction must not be interrupted or obstructed by industrial disputes. Despite Capitol Hill criticism the Whiter House has handled the defense strikea with kid gloves. Apparently the Ad^ ministration followed the pattern of the British. Though nearly two years of active war has sorely tested theiit rate of production, reports show that; the British are still seeking the re quired intensification of production along a number of paths. Their first head- on collision was with powerful labor groups and only recently the froverament was compelled to tempore arily suspend "trade union privileges.'* It is doubtfal that Mr. Roosevelt will take this step to speed production un4 less public opinion seems to demand such action. * .
