Very few persons in the world perhaps none possess such objects as the two that make Sergeant Best smile. One ia a picture of his own grave in France. The other is his death certificate, issued by the United States Army. Best, who is employed in the Veterans Bureau hue, doesn't know just how the strange cir-stances of his death and burial if near Pittston. Loss was estimated at $15,000.

Firemen were unable to battle the flames because of the absence of water plugs and confined their efforts to the use of chemicals in preventing spread of the fire.

Patriotism Theme of death. With some 150,000 thrill-hungry spectators eyeing the two and one-half -mile brick track, the twentieth annual Indianapolis motor derby was to start at 10 o'clock (Central Standard Time). Record-breaking qualifying trials, in which two men were killed, assured lightning speed in today's classic. The 1932 winner probably will have to beat the 101.13 miles an hour average established by Peter de Paolo in 1925. America's premier race drivers were to compete for prize money aggregating $100,000.

Educationally Alive The Finley address was on "The Education of Abraham Lincoln" who largely educated himself through reading the papers, making his own interpretations and putting his words into understandable phreasology.

Lincoln, all told, had not attended school for more than a year and had never been in an academy or a college until he was given a degree in later years, Finley said. He cited the Gettysburg speech as an example of clear thinking and asked the question of whether a college education would have harmed Lincoln. Lincoln, he said, kept educationally alive until his death, adding to his education as the years passed.
