Historical Russian Kerch The Golden Mound on the slopes of Mount Mithridates in Kerch, Russia, concealed a big stone vault containing golden dishes. The Mound of Cinders was the tomb of an ancient Greek king and his queen. He wore golden bow and buckles. She had a golden diadem, necklace and breast jewels. A golden vase lay at her feet. Another tomb contained what is believed to be the oldest Greek mural existing. It dates from the Fourth century B. C. A Christian catacomb bears the date 491. The Church of St. John the Baptist, built in 717, presents a specimen of purest Byzantine art. For 2,500 years or more, Kerch has felt the impact of the wars between civilization and barbarism. First known settlers of Crimea were the Celtic Cimmerians. They were driven out by the nomadic Scythians, who allowed the ancient Greeks to establish colonies. Many Crimean towns still bear names of Greek origin.

Roll Over Three Times! The Northwestern university traffic institute, Evanston, 111., reports that at 40 miles an hour a car will collide with a fixed object with the same force that it would exert if it were dropped from the top of a four-story building—or from the height of approximately 54 feet. A headon collision with another car traveling at the same speed would double the force and probably would be fatal. At 40 miles an hour it also develops enough energy to roll over about three times. Grade School Pupils’ Eyes Eighty-five per cent of our knowledge comes to us through our eyes, and for that reason it is important in education that visual efficiency be raised and maintained to as high standards as possible. Unfortunately, the problem of protecting young eyes in grammar school has not received the attention that it merits from parents and educators. That this is all too true is indicated by a number of surveys revealing that approximately 20 per cent of the pupils graduating from grade schools have defects in vision. One out of five leaves school with a handicap to his enjoyment of and progress in adult life.

'UJhat 'lfw. fciUf, With WAR BONDS

Gas masks which came into use in warfare for the first time when the Germans used poison and mustard gas in World War I, are much improved today over those used then. The Chemical Warfare Branch of the War Department issues these gas masks to every man in the service. We are taking no chances.

The type pictured here is the “can” and “elephant nose” mask and costs about $9.25 each. The headgear is transparent, made of materia] resembling cellophane and does not cloud with the breath. You can buy two of these gas masks with the purchase of an $18.75 War Bond. We need thousands of them. Don’t fail to give at least ten percent of your income every pay day for War Bonds. Buy them at your bank or postoffice, regularly. U. S. Treasury Department Sounds We Don’t Hear It is curious that our universe is loud with a mighty chorus of sounds and songs which we human beings never hear at all, just as (according to one entomologist) it is full of lights and colors that ants see perfectly but we do not.
