There is something sweet and gentle about the name which well fits its mean ! inf, writes Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Amy Robsart is the most famous in his tory to bear the name. Its mean ing was hollow for her, for she was the unloved wife of the earl of Lei cester, favorite of Queen Elizabeth. She was found dead at the foot of a stairway, with her neck broken, and it was suspected that her husband was an accessory to her murder; but there was no proof of this and some modern historians believe her death was the result of a plot to discredit Leicester. Cisalpine, Short-Lived State Cisalpine republic was the name of the short-lived state in northern Italy which Napoleon created in 1797, to include Lombardy, the duchies of Parma and Modena, and some parts of Venetia and the Papal states.

SAN DIEGO. CALlF.—Man’s eter nal quest to fathom the mystery of his being will be further enhanced next May when the 200-inch “eye" of the Mount Palomar observatory will enable him to probe the heav ens for some 3,600,000,000,000,000,000 miles, Capt. Clyde McDowell, su pervising engineer, said. Because its 5,550-foot summit is enveloped by unsullied air, lonely Palomar mountain, 89 miles north east of San Diego, has been selected as the site for the $5,000,000 tele scope. Since early 1936 American indus try has been at work fabricating the scores of essential parts for the ob servatory. In dozens of factories throughout the country the various segments have been painstakingly completed. Piecemeal, the parts are being re ceived on the isolated spur of the mountain, where they will be as sembled, jigsaw fashion, to give the world the greatest astronomical tool man’s ingenuity could conceive. Peak Almost Inaccessible. Transportation now takes up where industry left off, for with all the parts completed, they must be moved to the summit, where five years ago only the hardiest of moun tain climbers ventured. Only access to the 720-acre ob servatory site is by road of which a new six-mile unit was constructed recently at a cost of $300,000. Every ounce of material used in constructing the 500-ton telescope and the buildings which will house it must be trucked over steep, wind- 4 ing grades from the port of San Diego or the closest railroad, 54 miles distant. The 99 tons of rotating machinery which will cradle the 200-inch mir ror have made the trek up the moun tain, but yet to be carried up the slopes of Palomar is the 300-ton horseshoe bearing which will sup port the telescope structure. Mirror to Be Ready Soon. The 200-inch aluminum coated mirror, now undergoing the last stages of polishing at the California Institute of Technology’s laboratory in Pasadena, soon will be ready for shipment up the mountain, McDow ell said. Three 10-ton trucks, harnessed to a 26-wheel trailer, are used to lug the precious cargoes up the grade. The average traveling time required to make the trip from San Diego to Palomar is about 36 hours for the 89 miles. So perfectly balanced will be the 500-ton structure that it will be capable of being moved by an elec tric motor developing only 165-thou sandths of one horsepower, McDow ell said. Installation of the rotating ma chinery which will synchronize the movements of the big glass with the heavens upon which it will be focused is expected to take about six months, the supervising engi neer estimated. The observatory and housing ac commodations for the glass are nearing completion and the entire unit will probably be turned over to scientists from the California Insti tute of Technology before June 1, 1940. Vanilla Is Most Popular Of Ice Cream Flavors CLEVELAND, OHlO.—'Til take vanilla,’’ still is the most popular demand when it comes to choosing ice cream flavors. The Dairy Industries exposition’s flavor salesman said' that the next most popular ice cream flavor after vanilla—varies in different sec tions of the country. The dairy in dustries displayed their products in Cleveland’s public hall in connection with their annual convention. Down south chocolate is second choice in flavors. Dark cherry and butter pecan tie for second place in Michigan. The ice-cream eating public now likes big chunks of fruit in its ice cream, the exposition revealed.
