Food Stores May Be Circular in Future Chicago (UP.) Circular food tores may be the shape ot the future. According to the National As sociation o Retail Crocers, such stores would provide maximum selling area and the most effic ient operation. The N'ARGL'S Bulletin, official publication of the association, presented a circular layout and described the advantages and dis advantages of the "circular store." The article quoted architects to the effect that there is 30 per cent more shelf space in a round building than in a square one and customers can see 70 per cent more of the merchandise on cir cular shelves. The bulletin itself drew no conclusions, but said, "it is pos sible and workable." In another article on tomor row's grocery, the publication said covered walks would offer protection from the weather from the shopper's car to the store Interior. "Pick-up stations near the exit will eliminate need for carry-out boys," the article said". "Loudspeakers will flood the en tire area with soft music, inter spersed with shopping suggestions." Fighter John L. Sullivan used to eat as much as IS pounds of beef at one time.

OBOWCl ASK ABOUT BEXEL VITAMIN PAYMENT PLAN Central i?enafl Drug Main & Central Ass is Dismissed From Cicero Tomb Rome U.P.) Italian offic ials disclosed that they plan to dispossess an ass now living in the tomb of Cicero, the great Roman writer and statesman. The officials said the square, tower-like tomb, now covered with vegetation, has been turned into a donkey stall by the farm er who owns the land. But the government's antiquities depart ment plans to start restoring it soon. Like many other glories of pagan Rome Ciceros tomb has been desecrated in the Christian era, although it never suffered the ultimate degradation of the Roman Forum. The Forum was turned into a garbage dump af ter noblemen and priests had taken away the magnificent. marble columns to build villas and churches. The tomb of Marcus Tillius Cicero, who lived from 106 to 43 B.C., lies off the ancient Appian Way near the town of Formia. It is about 36 feet high. Local authorities have started action to get possession of the hectare of land on which the tomb is located. Despite its long abandonment the tomb is considered to be among the best preserved of its time. Cicero, who studied oratory and law in Rome and Athens, be came a consul and won fame for crushing the conspiracy of Cat iline. He was the leader of the opposition to Julius Caesar. When Ceasar was murdered in 44 B.C., Cicero denounced An thony. For this he was prose cuted and put to death. His writings include De Ami citia (on friendship) and De Sen ectute (on old age).

Tlie tent a wedge-shaped pup-tent that sleeps three peo ple is light, compact, self-supporting and economical, the in stitute said. Students at Illinois Tech's, in stitute of design were required to create such a structure as part of an experimental design project in camp-housing for the Young Men's Christian Associa tion of Chicago. Richard Baringer, institute lecturer under whose direction the project was carried out, said the tent designed by the stu dents utilizes the space it en closes most efficiently. "It is a self-contained struc ture that overcomes many dis advantages of conventional tents," he said. He said the entire tent, skin and supporting poles, weighs less than five pounds and can be packed into a compact roll about one yard long and with a diameter of seven inches. One person can erect the tent in less than five minutes, Bar inger said. It requires no tent stakes and thus can be set up on rock or sand. j Instructions. j University physicians found It I made pshychological sense to let i patients handle their own cases.

Water Hydrant Helps Willow Tree Grow J)urant, Okla. U.R) Back about 1926 a man rode up on a horse one day, dismounted and stuck his willow switch into the ground in front of a general merchandise and grocery store. Today a big, shady willow tree stands in the spot. It has become a popular meeting place for poli tical candidates and other speak ers. The tree's humble beginning was helped along by a water hydrant. The overflow of the hydrant supplied plenty of water for the switch and it sprouted and eventually grew into a tree.

(U.R) There's a new boom at the University of California where you can shout to your heart's content or scream for that matter and no one will be able to hear a sound. This unusual room, an an echoic chamber, is equipped with special fiberglass wedges that absorb noises. University engineers use the room to study noise radiations from small machines, such as electric motors and drills. The main project is to find out in what direction sound waves from such machines travel and how much sound travels in each direction. About 3.000 two - foot - long fiber glass wedges went into the chamber's walls, ceiling, . and floor, to be covered by a four inch thickness of glass wool mats.
