ged with stealing. Judge Stephen

PROFESSORS PONDER
ABOUTS OF WATER
The mystery of 8000 gallons of
water and where it went {is still
puzzling civil engineers at the Penn-
sylvania State College.
This miniature flood disappeared
suddenly from the cistern tank, 10
féet square and 10 feet high, in the
hydraulics laboratory in the base-|
ment. Containing 15000 gallons of
water, the tank mysteriously became
half-empty one night. There was no
possibility of a leak !

of the laboratory, sald that either
students drained the water for a
prank or the water ran uphill to a
constant level tank. In either case,
he said, the waters hideout has not

ALMANAC POINTS
That longing in most of us
take a peek into the future may find
some satisfaction in the latest edi-
tion of “old Moore's Almanack.’
which has been published in London
for the past 245 years
This famous almanack, noted for
its accuracy in forecasting coming
events, says the stars point to dis-
aster for Adolph Hitler and Empor-
er Hirohito in 1843, but don't indi-
cate the oollapse of Japan and
“"compiete final peace” before the
spring of 1044
Boasting that {t foreseen the Eu-
ropean crisis and the abdication of
Edward VIII it says that 1043 would
be “a year of reckoning.” and celes-
tial signs show that!
Fighting again will sweep Western
Europe during the spring; peace
with one European enemy is pos-
sible by July or early August; mis-
fortune and death are in store for
