"The Door of Death" By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter HELLO EVERYBODY: Well, boys and girls, this is the pay-off. A bird who had an adventure in church. I've always known that Old Lady Adventure was no respecter of persons. Now it seems that she doesn't respect the cloth either. Henry B. Willson of New York city is the lad who found adventure down at the end of the old sawdust trail. "As a boy," Henry says, "I had more than my share of particular escapes, but one in particular has left such a scar on my memory as time will never efface. Anything even today, that represents confinement anything from a small room to a tight collar throws me into a panic." Well, there's a curious reaction. The minute I started reading Hank Willson's. letter the minute I hit that opening paragraph of his, I wanted to know what sort of a scare it was that would make a man go nuts over a tight collar. And I guess you boys and girls will want to know, too. So here's the story. Hank Used Kerosene to Start the Fire. Hank was raised as they say down South in a little village in Georgia that went by the name of Cedartown. And like most kids did in small towns in those days, he worked around at various odd jobs to earn his spending money. Hank's dad was the pastor of a church in town, and one winter Hank had the job of taking care of the church furnace. Now there are probably a million ways of starting a fire, but Hank's plan was to throw a bunch of paper in the furnace, chuck a lot of wood in on top of that, and then saturate the whole business with kerosene. It's a darned good way to get a blaze going quickly, but some horrible things have happened to people who used kerosene too freely in places where it was never meant to be used. In fact, a very horrible thing DID happen to Hank. Hank built fires in the old church perhaps two dozen times always The Fire Blazed Up on the Instant. in that one particular way of his. And then he built one that brought Old Lady Adventure down on him like a ton of bricks. Early one Sunday morning, Hank got up, put on an old sweater, and started out to do his job. He tossed in an armful of crumpled newspapers, news-papers, and followed that with a couple armfuls of wood. He poured the kerosene on, giving the furnace an exceptionally liberal dose. Then, with a box of matches in one hand, he stuck his head and shoulders in through the furnace door to arrange the wood so that it would be sure to take fire quickly. , Caught in a Blazing Trap. So far, everything was all right. But it was the matches that did the damage. You know, when you've got a box of matches in your hand, it's the most natural thing in the world to light one. You do it automatically absent-mindedly. Well Hank doesn't know what got into him, or where his wits were at the moment, but before he knew what he was doing, he had lit a match and WITH HIS HEAD AND SHOULDERS STILL STICKING HALFWAY THROUGH THE FURNACE DOOR applied that match to the kerosene-soaked wood and paper. The fire blazed up in an instant. Hank's first reaction was to jerk his head and shoulders back out of the 'furnace door. He tried to do just that but it didn't work. His sweater had caught on the catch of the furnace door, and though he fought like mad to draw back out of the way of the spreading flames, he couldn't work himself free. Hank screamed. But his screams were so muffled by the furnace that no one in the street heard him. Meanwhile the fire was getting hotterand hot-terand closer. Hank's face was beginning to cook. His sweater caught fire and broke into a blaze. Death was leering at him through the flames that licked and lapped at his body. "It was the most horrible fate I could imagine," Hank says. "And it was happening to me." Fox Terrier Gave the Alarm. About that time, though, Hank became conscious that there was some sort of commotion going on behind him. A little fox terrier had come wandering in through the open cellar door, and the dog seemed to know that something was wrong. He started to yelp and whine, and run back and forth between the furnace and the cellar door. Early on a Sunday morning, when no one was about, that yelping little dog might easily have gone unnoticed. But fate had decreed otherwise, other-wise, it seems, and down the street came an old negro. The old fellow was curious to see what strange happenings would make a dog act so at a time when most dogs are asleep, and he stuck his head in the cellar door. That old fellow got the shock of his life. For what he saw was a furnace burning merrily, and a half portion of an eight-year-old boy sticking stick-ing out of the door. He grabbed Hank by the legs, yanked him out, and slapped out the fire that was consuming his sweater. Hank's hair was all burned off, and his face and hands were in a well-cooked condition. Two minutes more, and it wouldn't have been any use bothering with him. That's why he doesn't like confinement. Even a tight collar reminds re-minds him of that furnace door. Copyright. WNU Service. Speed of Birds The Baltimore oriole makes 26 miles an hour, as does the black duck. The sharp - tailed grouse makes 33 and the robin 36 miles an hour. Pigeon fanciers will be interested in-terested to know that an authority puts the speed of the homing pigeon pig-eon at 45 miles, but the starling makes 51. The eagle flies a mile a minute and so does the mallard and the Canada goose. The pheasant is in the same class, but the canvas-back, canvas-back, that prime prize of sportsmen, must be taken at 72 miles on the wing. , Early Prize Fighting Rules Under the London ring rules a round in prize fighting ended when a man was knocked, fell or was thrown to the ground. Some rounds lasted many minutes, others only a second or two. Tropacocaine, a Drug Tropacocaine is a drug having the general anesthetic and mydriatic qualities of cocaine.

Time Affects Ancient Pyramids Of the seven wonders of the ancient an-cient world, the pyramids of Egypt alone have defied time and the de-structiveness de-structiveness of conquering armies. There is probably no other man-made man-made structure in existence that will outlive these sanctuaries of the Pharaohs which were built by mas ter engineers. The largest pyramid, Khufu or Cheops, contains 2,300,000 blocks of stone, each weighing about 2Vt tons. Originally it was 481 feet high, but due to age and long exposure ex-posure to the elements its height has been cut to about 450 feet. Jud Tunkins' Idea of Fame Jud Tunkins says fame just naturally nat-urally comes to some people. George Washington got more credit for chopping a cherry tree than anybody else could get for breaking up a cord of wood.
