The question of whether Christianity was ever professed in ancient Pompeii is about to be solved, according to information obtained from fyigh authorities of the management of Ancient Arts and Monuments in Rome. Historians and religious scholars have tried to determine if Christianity, which' had already been introduced in imperial Rome, had reached Pompeii, the city destroyed under the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A. D. During excavation work in Pompeii recently workmen discovered the clear impress of a Christian cross on the corridor of an ancient i villa. Professor Amedo Majuri, superintendent of ancient art, was summoned. Under hia guidance excavation was continued cautiously until the wall of the corridor was brought to light The sign of the cross was unmistakable and dis- Peerless Laundry SNOW WHITE CLOTHES 2182- - Hylarfl 1184 East 21st So. : Reminder - A Gcn'Js Not A Summons f The unlimited parkins in Sugar House is a privilege not to be abused. h! you are a customer nse it to an advantage but if you are a merchant or an ens doyee of Sugar USING IT TOR A GARAGE please consider The loss ci '.aiiai to your own concern as well as thd rest of the places in SUGARHOUSE. tinct.

Two years ago he boarded ship as a stowaway and there he has stayed because 30 countries have refused to admit him. Leo, as his fellow shipmates have christened him, is deaf and dumb, and is believed to be French, but is unable to produce any definite proof of his nationality or birthplace. Recently the captain made Leo an assistant steward on salary. Rumblings and ruminations: A idjui .

"Its simple," said Rubin, who amateur pilot, when an enemy plane is behind you on your tail, the pilots call it it is Just too bad. But with my idea you have him where you want him, because all you need to do is turn a valve, spray the enemy with acid and he' down." The invention, he explained, merely ia a glass acid tank, from which the acid is forced by the exhaustive pressure. Caught in the propeller blast, the acid is thrown over the enemy plane, destroying the wings, wires and possibly the pilot. Hopes to Interest Army. Harry said that J. J. Matwig of the department of commerce was to have recommended the idea to the secretary of war. "Meanwhile, Im working on my powder ice, getting ready to market itr" Rubin said. According to the inventor, who in 1933 won first prize at the Inventors' congress with a refrigerator he called "canned ice," his powder ice is a mixture of three chemicals, which is not cold, but when added to a liquid, chills it. One spoonful to a glass of water at faucet temperature cools it to freezing. Add more powder and a cold slush ia formed, although it never freezes solid. "Funny thing about it," Harry said, "if I add a fourth chemical to the mixture, it generates heat when added to a liquid." Rubin quit school at 16 at his teachers suggestion after a burglar alarm he was inventing went off, by mistake, in history class. "They were talking about the rise and fall of the Roman empire when it happened," he said, "I thought I could do a little work on the alarm behind my history book. When it went off, the teacher was pretty sore and told me either to quit inventing or quit school" He Is Never Idle. Since then Rubin hasn't been idle a minute. He has turned out in rapid succession a gasoline-save- r, windan oil purifier, a shield screen, a double-ga- p sparkplug, the garbage deodorizer, a can of chemicals which keeps an iceless refrigerator cold during the night (to save current) and metal ice cubes, which can be used over and over. Between inventions, Rubin has had his share of adventure. In 1934, while trying with another man to set a new outboard motor boat record, he was caught in a storm and cast upon a breakwall When the craft caught fire the two had to swim a to shore through mounquarter-miltainous waves. While working as a cab driver in 1936, Rubin was attacked by a robber with a knife. The youthful inventor grabbed a crank handle, knocked the knife to the ground and routed the thief. once was an , The Eskimos Reduce Cost of Wooing New Marriage Law Makes It Easier for Lads of SL Lawrence Isle.

Furthermore, selecting a mate is no longer to be a family affair, but one in which young people may make their own choice.
