History has given to mankind the

will show us that while there have
been many men who have become
famous for having done some one
thing, there is but one man who is
famous as having done everything.
It's an enviable place in history-to
be the one man who has done every
thing-but one man has really done
just that. AS you think it over, you
will find that the statement is true,
that just one man has done everything

he wished to do it, but because the

No, not George Washington, who
really did things; nor George Creel,
who talks about them. Just George.
When the ziest-man-in-the-

and outdoor sport of pass-the buck,
he made George the recipient of the
honor. for honor it was. Think of the
credit of having done all of those
