This ancient cemetery lying on the shores of the Bosphorus is one of the oldest in Constantinople. Hundreds of soldiers and prominent people of the Turkish Empire are buried within its walls.

On X-ray film, flaws that might cause failure of these vital parts show up plainly to the expert eye, and the part is discarded

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. Fresh from the shakeout pit, where the mold is broken up and the sand sent back for reconditioning, new castings go to the core cleanout room to have the core sand removed with air and sledge hammers, vibrating machines and powerful hydraulic jets. Notice the core arbors sticking out of the sand. They are placed in the cores for the same reason that steel reinforcing bars are put in concrete floors and pillars. Each of these castings has by now become the body of a milling machine working for victory

If we have to make speeches until morning!' Austin on Senate filibuster. Washington, D.C., July 1. The Senate met at noon yesterday and kept going until 1:53 the next morning. Reason was that a republican bloc, opposed to allowing the President continued power to devalue the dollar and the Treasury to dip into the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund, filibustered until midnight, at which time the power was supposed to lapse. Some opinion held that the power could again be granted, even after that time, so Senator Warren R. Austin told reporters that he had a list of 10 Senators who would speak if it held the Senate in session until dawn. The monetary authorization was, as was promised, 'talked to death'

Waiting for the semimonthly relief checks at Calipatria, Imperial Valley, California. Typical story: fifteen years ago they owned farms in Oklahoma.

War alarm clocks. 1,700,000 of them will be produced this year to meet demand that was normally 12,000,000. Will be distributed by all pre-war alarm clock manufacturers. War alarms are of the hand-wound type, not nearly as durable as pre-war models. The case, about 6 x 6 x 2 1/2 inches, is of molded pressed wood and paper pulp. Mechanism contains only about 1/10 ounce brass and 6 1/2 ounce of steel, compared to pre-war average use in the low-priced alarm clocks of 6 and 13 ounces respectively. For this reason, and since the programmed supply for the year will barely cover the needs of workers in directly war-essential occupations, War Production Board (WPB) has requested that no one buy a war alarm unless it satisfies real need, not merely want, wish, or whim

First woman congress member protests increase in nation's armed forces. Washington, D.C., Feb. 7. Jeanette Rankin, first woman member of Congress, told the Naval Affairs Committee for the House today that there is 'much technical opinion within the Navy Department against the fortification of Guam as there is for it', and that the reason that the committee had not heard such opinions is because, 'announcements of policy come only from the top.'

Congress urged to remove tomahawk-swinging Indian statue from steps of Capitol. Washington, D.C., April 27. If Rep. Usher Burdick, Republican of North Dakota has his way, the 87 year old statue standing on the steps of the Capitol which depicts a frontiersman rescuing a white woman from a possible redskin tomahawking will 'be ground into the dust and scattered to the four winds.' Introducing a resolution in the House to that effect, the legislator said, ' the American Indian was no worse than some of our own ancestors, and there is no more reason to memorialize his misdeeds than there would be to set up a monument to the witch burners of Salem'
