ALEXANDER UNABLE TO SWIM A STROKE Classical Scholar Reveals Great Macedonian Never Took to Water Sports. By the Consolidated Press.

But this shortcoming of the great Macedonian wasn't shared by the wom- en. Court ladies of ancient times, Prof. Fosier reveals, were often competent swimmers, enjoying their daily dip. *‘Ancedotes of famous swimmers and divers among the ancients make it evident,” the professor says, ‘‘that Alexander and the mad Emperor Calig- ula were among the very few Greeks and Romans who were unable to swim. Caligula’s sister, the Empress Agri- pina, and many other women of promi- nence were competent swimmers. “Swimming was popular among the ancients, not only as a sport but as an aid to victory in war.

The hearing of the case was ad- vanced by the appellate court at re- quest of United States Attorney Pey- ton Gordon, who appears for Secre- tary of the Navy Wilbur, who was named co-defendant with MecCarl. About 100 cases are pending in the lower court awaiting the decision of the question of the right to withhold the pay. 1, represented by Attorney contends that he has the right to stop the payment of salaries al- together until any amount due the United States from overpayment to the officer has been settled. Secretary ilbur_does not agree with his co- ® 37 defendant and told the court that he merely issued the order providing for retention of 20 per cent of the pay- ment as a_compromise when McCarl wished to withhold the entire amount. Attorneys John W. Pricé and Joseph W. Cox, for the naval officer, asserted that McCarl has no legal right to re- tain any of the officer's pay, which has been fixed by Congress. Justice Hoehling took this view of the law and granted the injunction, from which McCarl appealed. — Valued at $50,000, a wonderful new telescope made for the Russian gov- ernment by a British firm contains a mirror 40 inches wide and nearly % inches thick. the scale moves the index six inches.
