That was the first job Captain Ed- ward V Rickenbacher, American ace of aces in the -World war, ever held in his lite. He was getting $6 a week. Later he gladly accepted a job in a gadage. It paid $4 a week. Rickenbacher was born in a little trame cottage close to the Columbus Driving park. From the days when he was big enough to peer through the fence, the track fascinated him. When automobile racing started, the Driving Park was his mecca. His crowning ambition was to drive a rac- Ing automobile. He reached his goal when he was 18 years of age. At that time, he was sent to Texas by a local automobile concern, in whose factory he had been working, to demonstrato its speedsters. From then on, his career was meteoric. He became one of the best known automobile racers in the coun- try. HERE ARE 21 OF THE 55 CHILDREN THAT MR. ESTRADA OF DOUGLAS, ARIZ., HAVE TREME RIGHT ARE MOTHER AND DAD. CITY ITEMS = ADOPTED.

Art Students In Rome Go Out And Get What They Want—Natives Shocked. *h Rome, Aug. 29.—Students at the American Academy in Rome are requir- ed to make close studies of the master- pieces of architecture, painting and sculpture in Rome. The other day some of them were seen crawling over the Pantheon scaling the dizzy heights of the rotunda in an effort to study the forms and structure of the old Roman landmark which has stood for 2,000 years. They take their tapes and other measuring instruments and get the dimensions of these buildings and their decorations right off the work itself. Two American neo-architects, stud- ents of the academy attracted an en- ormous crowd of Romans recently by their scaling of the Trajan columu. They measured every detail of the his- toric piece from top to bottom copying the decoration with zealous application. They scale the roofs of churches, ramble all over the imposing facades and nose into every nook which they think might add a little more to their knowledge of the art of the ag Some of them have made exact reproductions in coloring and size of some of the greatest masterpieces in mural paint- ing, mosaics and friezes. “‘We find this a most efficacious method in aiding the men to get the first hand knowledge of the various masterpiece: said Assistant Director G.
