Suburban Landmark Razed
To Make Way for Gas Station
By BEN MAXWELL
Eppley's store, home of Eppley's Perfection Baking Powder,
Joy of the housewife who baked her own in the early 1900s,
Is now being razed and the familiar location at the southeast
jeorner of South 19th and State streets will soon become the
site for a Union Oil filling station.
Oldtimers remember Charles

Eppley were conducting a gro

1917 and the firm of C. M. Epp

Samson's Afraid of Violet
Sunderland, Eng., Jan. 28 (P) A stage strong man called
Samson declared in court yesterday he is afraid of a woman.
She is Violet Hanson, petite 29-year-old bus ticket taker,
who is five feet four and weighs 120 pounds.
"No man," said Samson solemnly, "is a match for a woman,
however strong he may be."
Sampson Joseph Bcsford in private life had Mrs. Hanson
arrested for "threatening to shove my eyes out." He said the
argument began when he tried to pass through the front door
of their apartment building just as she was trying to come in.
On the stage, Samson holds an iron bar in his teeth and
bends it into an arc. He lets two teams of nine men play
tug of war with a rope looped around his sinewy neck. He
has a truck carrying 10 men run over planks laid across his
powerful chest.
"And you're afraid of this woman?" asked the judge in
credulously, "Yes, sir, I am," said Samson.
Mrs. Hanson pleaded innocent to breaking the peace. The
case was dismissed.
Apartment of Tomorrow to Be
Circular; Outside Walls Glass
By LEO TURNER
(Ut-lted Prtas Staff Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 28 U.R) The apartment building of tomorrow
will be circular, the outside walls will be glass and every apart
ment will be a penthouse, William Zeckendorf said today.
Big Bill Zeckendorf is the man who owns a jail in Boise, Ida.
As president of Webb & Knapp, a big real estate firm, he owns
a lot of other property over the
country,
Zeckendorf sat on the edge of
a table beside a glass model of a
modernistic 14-story building
with duplex apartments spiral
ing from the ground to the top.
"There it is," he said. "There's
the answer for the man who
builds them and the people who
live in them. Convenience, flexi
bility, sunlight, fresh air and
privacy for the tenant, and
cheaper for the owner to build."
The apartment house of to
morrow is the result of the team
work of Zeckendorf and small,
modest, I. M. Pei, 32, a Chinese
who came to the United States
in .1935 to study architecture
and later became professor of
architecture at Harvard.
Zeckendorf arrived in this of
!ice one morning a little over a
,'ear ago after driving past some
if the city's new apartment
irojects. He was disgusted with

Moderately
New York, Jan. 28 Radio-television
stocks sprinted in
front of a generally higher stock
market today.
Gains for run-of-the-mill is
sues were limited mostly to mi
nor fractions although Chrysler
was an outstanding exception
with a rise of a point or so.
A couple of radio shares jump
ed as much as two points or so
at one time before profit taking
clipped the high points of the
rise.
Today's spurt in radio-TV is
sues was the latest evidence of
interest in a group that has ex
cited considerable speculative
and investment demand in re
cent weeks. Television set mak
ers have been enjoying a con
tinued boom and comments by
most manufacturers have been
highly encouraging. .
Strength in Chrysler develop
ed despite the strike that crip
pled the company earlier this
week.
Corporate bonds stuck to a
fairly even price course.

the adherence to the same old
designs, with builders cutting
corners on costs because of in
creasing prices.
"Instead of making technical
progress, we are going back
wards," he said.
He called Pei, who recently
had joined the firm as chief
architect, and told him to de
sign a new type of apartment
house.
"I drew a circle," Pei said.
"Inside the circle, I drew an
other one as a core. The me
chanical installations in a build
ing, heating, wiring, and things
like that, make up 30 'per cent
of the cost. If it is air-conditioned,
they from 48 per cent
of the cost. The core reduced
that.
"Next, for maximum reduc
tion of costs, the units had to
be standardized for prefabrica
tion. All segments of a circle
are identical. So it was a circle."
The spiral design came in to
allow for expansion or contrac
tion of apartment size to take
care of the tenant's finances or
growing family.
The apartment house of tomor
row is a series of wedge-shaped
units spiraling around the cen
tral core which contains the
elevators, stairs, piping, wiring,
ducts and air conditioning. Each
apartment is a simplex, duplex
or triple arrangement of one or
more wedges, each with 800 feet
of floor space and a 30-foot-wide
window. Each apartment has a
40 by 8 foot terrace screened
by the structural design from
any peeping neighbors.
The apartments will be rented
by the square foot, not by the
number of rooms. The spiral
design allows a tenant to ex
pand or contract to fit his pock
etbook and family needs. The
apartment can be partitioned as
a tenant wishes. The removable
partitions are insulated with fiber-glass.
The overall structure is rein
forced concrete, with no col
umns or other dead space.
The designers estimate that it
will take a year of experiment
ing on building methods before
they are ready to start. The site
for the first one will then be
selected.
"It may be New York, Los
Angeles, or who knows," Zeck
endorf said.

Dawn of History Studied
By Science on Clay Tablets
Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 28 U.R) Questions which have baffled the
world's historians for ages are raised by the discovery of Europe's
most ancient writings by a Bulgarian scientist.
Prof. Vladimir Georgiev, scientist who deciphered the 3,600-year-old
Minos (Cretan) picturegraph writings on clay tablets,
has thrown new light on the or-f-
igins of the alphabet and on the
migration of the Greek tribes
into the the Aegean basin, ar-
cheologist Ivan Velkov said.
One important question rais
ed by the discovery is whether
the alphabet came originally
from the Cretans or the Phoe
nicians, Velkov said.
It is already well known that
Cretan colonists settled in Cy
prus, Syria, Phoenicia, and Pal
estine, in the second millennium
B.C. It seems likely that the
Phoenicians got their alphabet
from the Cretans, improved on
it, and passed it on to the
Greeks.
The deciphering also puts
"under an entirely new light the
problem of the Greek migra
tion , into the Aegean region,"
Velkov said.
It now seems that no man
lived there in the Paleolithic
(Old Stone) Age. The earliest
population dates back only to
the Neolithic (New Stone) Age,
which may be from the fifth
millennium B.C. It spoke some
Indo-European dialect, the ar
cheologist said.
These tribes were not nation-
conscious at the time, he said.
They began to leave their homes
in the territory now known as
Yugoslavia and Albania, and
came from as far north as present-day
Hungary and Czechoslo
vakia, to settle in Northern
Greece in the 13th century B.C.
and later in Thessaly.
The further Hellenization of
the Aegean region was carried
on in the 12th to seventh cen
turies, B.C.
"The very Greek people of
the classic ages were the result
Spanish-American War Vet
Seeks Wife Divorced in '07
Madigan General Hospital, Jan. 28 VP) A 79-year-old Spanish
American war veteran here wants to find the wife he divorced
in 1907 and settle down.
Jacob Kaufman, for 50 years an Alaska sour-dough, is seek
ing the members of his family to share his estate in British
Columbia in case anything hap-$
pens to him. He is here for a
minor operation.
For the past several years, the
stocky woodsman has been mak
ing periodic jaunts from Alaska
and northern Canada to the Se
attle - Tacoma - Portland area
where he believes his ex-wife,
two daughters and grandchildren
are living.
Kaufman hasn't seen his wife,
Belle, since their divorce in 1907.
He exchanged letters with his
daughters, Nora and Lilly, until
1923. But there has been no
word from them since.
When Kaufman last heard of
Belle "the only one of my
several wives I really ever
loved" she had remarried and
was living in Seattle.
They were married in South
Dakota after Kaufman's dis
charge from the army. Later
they moved to Seattle and Kauf
man worked in the Arctic dur
ing the summer months, driving
freight trains in the Stony Creek
area.
He made trips to the north off
and on beginning in 1890. In
1907 the work became steady.
Kaufman says Belle became tired
of his frequent absences and
left him.
The old timer ran away from
his home near Grand Rapids,
Mich., at the age of 10 to become
a cabin boy on failing ships.

of an extremely complex mix
ture of pre-Greek and Greek
tribes," Velkov explained.
Much earlier, Crete had been
a center of a flourishing civil
ization. By the second millen
nium B.C., it had a well-developed
society. Slavery predomin
ated and slaves were highly
praised as merchandise.
Kings or "passilos," as the
Cretans called them, headed the
state. Their palace possessed
well kept archives of clay tab
lets, which now serve as a source
of information for scientists.
The palace also had a military
arsenal, probably the one re
ferred to in the notation on a
clay tablet: "To Turanik was
given 1 war chariot, 1 mailed
suit, 1 horse."
Mighty Knosos, capital of
Crete, spread. its power far into
the continent. Athens, Tirint,
and numerous other cities were
under its heel and they had to
pay tribute in kind. A decipher
ed tablet tells us that "Tirint de
livered 100 rams, 650 sheep, 30
oxen, 151 cows, 80 pigs and 6
mares."
The subjugated tribes were
forced as well to deliver some of
their people as slaves. "Athens:
7 women, 1 boy, 1 girt," one tab
let reads. As Velkov remarked,
the legend that King Minos, fa
bled King of Crete, levied on
Athens a yearly tribute of 7
young men and 7 girls is seen to
have some basis.
The U.S. Public Health Serv
ice gave emergency aid to 17
states striken by epidemics or
disasters in 1949,
He circled the globe several
times before joining the army in
1898. And he's held a wide
variety of jobs in the far north.
During World War II, Kauf
man and a partner bought 150
ac-es of timber from the city of
Port Coquitlaim, B. C, about
nine miles north of Vancouver.
Kaufman now owns the prop
erty alone.
The value of the land now has
increased from $125 to $300 an
acre. Kaufman says he has
some workshops and a small
sawmill on the property and now
he wants to build some small
cabins to rent.
And he wants all the members
of his family he can find to come
and live with him. He's espec
ially interested in a grandson
"a red-headed kid between 14
and 20 who I understand looks
and acts like his grandmother."
"I'm sure I spotted him on a
bus in Seattle last year," Kauf
man says. "I offered him a dol
lar to tell his name, but he re
fused. "Just like Belle lots of
spirit," Kaufman chuckled. "I'm
sure that's the boy. But some of
the family had better show up
pretty soon I can't last more
than 10 or 15 more years. May
be Belle will come back to me
now that I've settled down."

It was as if to say, ,4I don't see why I have to be discharged
from the WACs just because I'm expecting.
"It's in the regulations, that's why", came the militant reply.
"See for yourself , . . Here it ls
. . Section 3, Ar 615-361 . . .
Discharge from the army due to
pregnancy."
Pfc. Twinkle, a six-month old
black cocker spaniel, lowered
her head and pouted.
This scene was enacted at
headquarters of the WAC de
tachment here when Pfc. Twin
kle formally discharged from
WAC unit she had served so
well. Her individual service rec
ord with its many superior
marks proved her unwavering
loyalty. But even with an out
standing record, the inconsis
tency of modern living left her a
marked woman.
She needed help. The father of
her unborn had deserted her.
Former Pfc. Twinkle's bud
dies came to her aid. A letter
was sent to the American Red
Cross to prepare for maternity
care, hospitalization and future
planning.
But Ex-Pfc. Twinkle still won-
deded about getting into her old
outfit.
She walked disconsolantly
around the post, but finally took
actoin. She joined the WAC re
serves. Now she is looking for
ward to her 14-day period in the
maternity ward and rejoining
her old outfit the 6006 ASU.
In spite of Twinkle's wayward
life, the WACs intend to take
her back.
Soon after Pfc. Twinkle join
ed the WAC outfit here, she
was given a service record, com
plete to the final paw-print sig
nature. Then she was assigned
as clerk general 055 with basic
duty of greeting and entertain
ing all guests that enter the
WAC building.
The WAC detachment states
that the hospitalization and mat
ernity care afforded Twinkle Is
the best that can be offered any
where and future planning has
provided a home for each of her
expected puppies.
