ave, He was just a little bird when he was picked up about a year and a half ago. Mr, Case had been down in Clinton, Ind. and climbed a tree to upset a nest of crows. (That's one way farmers get rid of the birds when they are young.) But Jim survived the fall and Woody brought him home. At first he was fed milk with a medicine dropper but now he eats about anything. Until he was about a year old he wasn't caged up. - But he got into quite a bit of trouble. He'd constantly carry clothespins home from the neighbors’ back wards. And one day he had a feast on a bushel basket of tomatoes from a nearby victory garden. He'll perch himself on Mr. or Mrs, Case’s arm without any trouble at all, And he'll pick pennies or anything bright and shiny out of Mr. Case's shirt pocket. , . , Before he was caged up, he
used to sit on the back of the porch swing and yell
out “Hello, Woodrow” every time Mr. Case drove up in front of the house after work. ... Ever since Jim was a baby he has been quite chummy with Cleo, the Case’s black Persian cat. Now Jim sits inside his cage and the cat dozes on top.
Sevitzky Sees Brown County INDIANAPOLIS = Symphony Conductor Fabien Sevitzky got his first glimpse of Brown county Sunday although he has been in Indiana for eight years. Usually at this time of the year he's so busy with the symphony orchestra that he can’t find time to make the trip. He and Mrs. Sevitzky, his brother-in-law, George Dormont, and the Sevitzky's dog, Felix, got a good look at the Hoosier beauty spots from the tower at Bear Wallow, Dr, Sevitzky now says he's more of a Hoosier than ever. While in Brown county he got to see the paintings of Miss Marie Goth and V. J, Cariani at Miss Goth’s cabin. Although he has taken up painting for a hobby, he doesn’t expect to find time to even pick up his paint brush before spring. . . , The shoemakers evidently are having their troubles during the shoe rationing period, too, One of the shoemaker shops in Irvington has a sign in the window that non-rationed shoes left for repair must be paid for in advancg. Price of heels and soles on the flimsy unrationed shoes often have been so high that the women think they might as well buy another pair of shoes as pay for the repairs. ...

' Pringsheim was musical director of the Imperial Academy of Music.
Show Effects of Imprisonment
BOTH now show the physical effects of imprisonment in one of Japan’s most notorious concentration camps. They were sent there through the evi] offices of J. A. Meisinger, gestapo chief in Japan, in an anti-Semitic campaign which seems to have reached a furious climax after Germany surrendered. Pringsheim in particular looks as though he had scarcely strength to lift a baton. But now they had music on their minds rather than the memory of persecution. Their mission was to restore free music to the world, break the Japanese bond with the infamous Reichsmusik Krammer, and throw Koscak Yamada into jail as a war criminal, Yamada is president of the, Japan Music and Culture association.
* ° Aviation IT WILL take a little time to get the story out as
to just what won these two wars for us.
Superior mass production and the superior quali« ties of ‘our fighting men were two key factors. But along with more and better of everything to fight a modern war, we have another ace in the hole in our wealth of trained scientists and mass research facilities. We had more: of these assests than any other group of nations in the world, For instance, that afternoon's shooting by an American warship which burned 70 or 80 Jap planes out of the air with anti-aircraft guns, The gun pointing was no better than the usual high standard. Buf the planes were tumbling out of the sky just the same.
The answer was the result of a gunnery officer's idea and elaborate
scientific research—“proximity fuses” krdown as the VT-variable time fuse). The ordinary AA shell is a shrapnel projectile equipped with a time fuse that can be set, before it is fired, to explode at any distance from the gun. Each one of the fuses must pe set before it is fed to the gun. An error’in fuse setting, so easy to make where targets such as aircraft alter the range so frequently and rapidly, means missing the target.
Problem Wiped Out for Good THE PROXIMITY fuse settled this problem. It provided the first effective answer of ground and

Snow in November? IN JUST 24 days Indiana should have “real snow.” At. least that is what Prof. Visher of Indiana university says. He spoke at Butler university last’ week on “When the Seasons Begin in Indiana.” Real winter, he ‘says, is expected about Dec. 3—only 41 days off. . . . Prof, Charles H. Walters of Butler introduced one of his own speech courses at Block'¢ last night.

When th@ Berlin-Tokyo tie-up got around to music, the two professors lost their jobs and Goebbels reportedly dictated their successors. The Japanese considered the matter so important that they sent Viscount Hidemaro Konoye, brother of former Premier Konoye—and regarded as the bad boy of the family —to Berlin as ambassador-for-music, - Konoye, in addition to being somewhat of a playboy, fancies himself as a conductor, has less music in him than a fiddlestick. So the fascist rule began. Yamada made the rules. No music other than Japanese or German might be played in public. Every program must have 50 per cent Japanese music. No works detracting from the dignity of war or the warrict might be played. :
Love Music Was Banned
THUS “Carmen” was banned because it told the story of a soldier who was seduced from his duty by love. The “Bartered Bride” could not be played because its title was immoral! This in a land where marriages are arranged by the bargaining’ of the elders and love has nothing to do with the matter! At any rate, the two professors got along fairly well after being ousted from their posts because they had a number of piano pupils from among the Japanese aristocracy. Then, one by one the pupils began dropping away, Many of them apologized. “The gendarmerie have forbidden us. It would not be! well for us to be seen together. My parents have been threatened. When the war is over we will come. back to you” Finally the two. professors were a rested and nearly starved to death. “But the mental torture of prison,” said® Prof. Rosenstock finally, “was nothing compared ‘to. the
indignity of being forced to play the cacgphony of | -
some Japanese composer on the same program with the work of the immortal Beethoven.” :
(Tomorrow:
Kurusu.) a; or . Od oi By Maj. Al Williams waves which travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), These waves or impulses are reflected back to the fuse by any solid object. About the only solid objects found miles above the earth are airplanes. The nearer the shell approaches a plane the more electro-magnetic impulses per second are reflected | back to the fuse. When these reflected impulses reach | a predetermined intensity they activate an electric! switch which in turn explodes the charge in the main body of the shell, Thus a proximity-fused AA shell approaching to within 70 or 80 feet of a plane explodes, and another target plane is on its way to a final war audit. The heart of the proximity fuse is a tiny radio broadcasting station which starts “sending” as soon as the shell leaves the gun, and keeps on sending out impulses until enough of its “Sending” is reflected
back to.it to deteriorate the charge in the main body of the shell.
Every Field of Science Tapped YOU CAN make your own estimates of the labora~ tory research and. experiment which went into the proximity fuse. Every field of science was drawn upon. and the research was distributed to a great many laboratories, The Brivish and the Germans have Beén seeking, such a weapon for years, and ‘while both these nations possess scientific brains, theif numbers do not ‘come

By ERNIE PYLE
BROWN COUNTY, Ind. Brown county is to Indiana what Santa Fe is to the Southwest, or Carmel to California, or Provincetown to New England. In. other words, it is an art colony. But that is only a part of the picture. It became an art colony in the first place, like the others, because the scenery is majestic and the native people are picturesque, And, having become an art colony, it attracted non-artists and ordinary people to its loveliness, and eventually it became a haven, and people came and fell in love with its plain ways, and built beautiful homes and stayed to become part of the spirit of the place.
o 8 ” ON THE whole, I am {ll at ease in the company of artisis, for” so much of the time I don't know what they are talking about, And yet, invariably, I like the places they have built in- their “colonies.” And so it is with Brown county, Indiana. I have fallen head over heels for the place, and the people, and the hills, and the whole general air of peacefulness.
I even like the artists here. » t] »
THERE ARE 92 counties in Indiana. The average Hoosier could not name more than 10. Yet I
doubt that there is an adult in Indiana who does not know of Brown county. Brown county is not the Midwest at all, as we usually think of the Midwest. There is more variety of personality here, and more old-fashioned vitality of character. The people of Brown county are hill people, not prairie people. There is a difference ” » . ALL NORTHERN and central Indiana is as flat as a board, Neat farms checker it, and the roads make a chart, lines a mile apart, straight as a ruler. Barns and regular fences and waving fields of grain splash across the endless landscape. i But ‘some 30 miles south of Indianapolis the land begins to Undulate, “and the ‘hills are covered with - thick Torest, ‘and roads wind. and fields become patches on slope-sides.

never out of the hills, for they were hill people. :
8 » . BECAUSE of'a certain neces~ sary resourcefulness which makes’ hill people proud and somehow self-sufficient, the natives of Brown county for a long time lived their own lives in the woods and the tobacco patches and the little settlements, asking nothing of any man, and eventually they came to be known to the rest of Indiana as “quaint.” That is what first attracted the artists to Brown county 40 years ago—the log cabins, the lounging squirrel hunter, the leaning sheds, the flowers and the autumn leaves and the brooks and hillsides.
n Nd » THAT, TOO, is what eventually attracted the sightseers. But
many a sightseer comes to Brown county today filled only with wishful thinking for what he wants to see, and not with any understanding of human beings. Brown county i§ not the same as it was when the artists discove ered it 40 years ago. The artists no longer consider it picturesque, They say it is “spoiled” They would go away, except they say it's still better than anywhere else.
n ” » FINE ROADS and hotels have impinged themselves upon the hills and villages. The patch farmer who lives: up the holler is nearly pushed off the sidewalk by the gawkers from the city. There is-little privacy left. And yet the deep, fine attributes of the people endure, : The native of Brown county is innately courteous. He would do anything for you, and not think of pay. His honesty is ale most old-fashioned. Few people in Brown county lock their houses, and when they do they hang the key on a nail outside the door. 8 » E THE TYPICAL Brown county man plays a guitar in the woods, and raises a little tobacco, and goes to church, and drinks whisky, and is a dead-shot with a squirrel gun, and there are even those who can kill a squirrel with a rock as easily as with a gun. Sometimes he is prosperous and sometimes he isn't—but it doesn't matter whether he lives 20 miles up the crick in a clapboard cabin, or works in the garage downtown and wedrs a derby, still his code of oral and of honesty and his innate \sense of dignity remain the same,
