Beveridge Apparently Defeated In In

Chicago, Nov Son of the face OF
late senatorial returns from middle
western states, the Republicans had
apparently lost two senators, Indiana
and North Dakota, but had gained two
seats, Ohio and Nebraska. There were
no other switches in the party sena-
torial lineups threatened in these
states.
In Indiana, where the battle was
particularly hot, Samuel Ralston,
Democrat and former governor, had a
comfortable lead over Albert j. Bev-
eridge, Republican and follower of
Theod IRE Roosevelt in 1912. In North
Dakota Lynn J. Frazier, recalled non
partisan league governor, running for
the senate as Republican, was be-
hind J. F. T. O'Connor, Democrat,
with some nonpartisan league pre-
cincts to be heard from.
Among the upsets was the defeat of

New York, Nov. 8.-Former Gov

greatest plurality New York city ever
has given any candidate in any elec-
tion, was swept back into the guber-
Material chair from which he had been
elected in 1920 by Governor Nathan

Republicans not only admitted the
defeat of Mr.. Miller, but conceded that

politics.
With the success of their ticket
leaders, Democrats were claiming
gains in congress and the legislature,
but the Republicans maintained stout
ly that their majorities in the senate

The victory of Smith was antici-

not predicted that in New York city

color and line is amazing: more than
amazing when one knows that he delights
in working out his fairylike stage effects
from mere nothings such as cvlored paper,
gray painted peanuts (Which look like

berry tree made Of tinted tissue paper), and
leaves that are pinned to their background
in such way that each pin glistens like a
dewdrop when the cleverly arranged lights

why, do you know" said Mr.. Walker,
I'VE haven't any childhood any more. The
little folk have been cheated out OF their
most priceless heritage, as they have been
robbed of their imagination. Many moth
ers, instead OF developing the best in them,
send their children to the movies to get
rid OF them, and the average movie isn't
exactly the thing to bring ou. the soul of
a child. II our imaginations are stunted
IL we are made incapable of believing In
fairies and visioned beauty, II we lack the
power OF transporting ourselves out OF our
everyday environment into a land Of
dreams we can never do great things in
the field OF art, and 1t will mean the de-
generation Of the race. Who will compose

deep yet quite impersonal friendship, for
though this occurred several years ago
these two have never yet met. Once. before
starting on trip around the world this
friend Of mystery wrote Mr.. Walker asking
to know what gift he would desire be
brought back to him. Mr.. Walker asked
for a bit OF earth and sand from every
separate body of land visited! Months
after he received many little bags contain
ing what he had requested This gift from
other lands arrived just after the publica-
tion of his well known book Dream
Boats So taking a little shell that had
become priceless to him in the associations
1t contained he filled it with some sand
from one of the little bags the label of
which indicated that the contents had come
from an island in the West Indies.
His retreat is a large glass inclosed
studio overlooking one of the citys noisy,
dusty streets. yet strange to say, while the
sunbeams dance through the glass the
noise and dust seem to stay without. One
also senses the presence OF wood spirits
and ocean pixies, elves of glade and wave
in this room Of strangely assorted me-
mentoes. The studio is lovely with many
exquisite bits from here, there and every
where, as well as with many beautiful
paintings and drawings of the we'll known
books he has so charmingly illustrated
There are seashells of every tint and form,
feathers from brilliantly colored exotic
birds, treasured mummies of butterflies
and other beautiful creatures.
An instance Of his versatility was the
pageant he arranged In honor OF Cardinal

some 10000 children took part. The mise

practical side always unusual in an

starved little personalities were discov-
cred, respected and encouraged by this
Robin Ringlet and led to that land where
dreams come true
He talks not only to children but to
grownups. He has visited cantonments,
naval training stations and shipyards
where he told men of the dainty intima-
cies of the fairy folk with always the same
result--of completely enhancing his audi.
ence and of succeeding in leading them
away from their prosaic everyday lives.
Once when lecturing to a Cornell alumni
club, he suggested a pocket competition
(who could bring forth from his pockets
an interesting object, at the same time
weaving a make-believe story about it, j.
and these grown men turned their pockets
inside out in the excitement of competing
for the prize.
And the prize" he added with a wistful
smile, was only green feather from a
parrots wing! True. / had beforehand
placed my own valuation on the feather
by having told them that we should strive
to be more like birds-go to flocks-feel
ing the impersonal unselfishness OF the
flock.
"A1l the underlying philosophy of fairy
lore contains the golden kernel OF that
Biblical adage Unless you be converted
and become as little children you shall not
enter into the Kingdom OF Heaven
'If you leave two children together for
an hour, even two children OF widely diff.
ferent cast" he added. they promptly de
eide that they love each other devotedly.
Children bear no dislike toward anything
unless we grownups either consciously or
unconsciously, instill In them a germ Of
friction or antipathy. These traits are
distinctly product OF later years. and
this is just as true as is the fact that chill
dren's minds refuse nothing we give them,
and 1t rests with us to give them beauty
and understanding rather than material
values. A discarded spool, its bright silk
run OF, will give tiny tot as great de-
light as some expensive and promptly
broken toy"

Heligoland's History One
OF Many Frequent Changes

Heligoland became German territory
thirty-two years ago. 1t repeatedly changed
hands in the course Of its history Origi-
nally domain Of the dukes Of Holstein-
Gottorp, Il came under Danish sovereignty
in 1714. A hundred years later the British
took possession OF it and provided it with

Negotiations between England and Ger
many in the latter part of the eighties led
to a treaty in 1890, whereby Germany.
against the cession Of rights in Africa, OBJ
tained the control OF the island and incor-
porated 1t In the Kingdom OF Prussia. The
ceremony of handing the island over to
Germany took place August 10. 1890. Brit
ish sailors stood In rank and file while
their superiors shook hands with the Ger
man commission which took possession.
The Notifications in Heligoland were
begun In 1908 and finished in 1914. Since
January, 1917, the island served as a sub
marine base, but the U-boat docks were not
completed before the last year of the war.

had commenced, the civil population was
removed to the German seashore, where the
city OF Blankensee became its temporary
abode.
In regard to the system OF its fortifca-

UGALD WALKER is the most whim-
sical of persons. Nor is any one

~ UGALD WALKER Is the most whfm-
sical of persons. Nor is any one
more sincere. He believes In
fairies, and as surely as truth Is relative
which 1t is-his belief Is well based, for
there are fairies. He knows them. He
has them in his studio.
Robin Ringlet is Dugald Walkers other
name. He must have another name-for
his fairies.
He Is about 35 years old. He Is serious
looking. He is an artist and writer and
a poet. He Is child and a man. No
child could ever believe In fairies more
sincerely than does Dugald Walker. No
belief as he Is in this.
Dugald Walker illustrates fairy stories
better than any one else can. His illustra-
tions of his own Dream Boats" of "Ander-
sons Fairy Tales" and of Irish folk tales are
pictures Of real fairies and brownies and
elves and pixies. He has seen the feeting
creatures with his own eyes and has pic
tured them as he has seen them.
II is not his work that has converted
him. He has converted his work. He was
not educated to believe In fairies. He be-
lieves In them In spite OF his education.
He Is really glorified sort OF child.
II you have your mind made up to not
believe in fairies, then you would better
not go near Dugald Walker. He would
make you believe. He would convince you
against your will.
II you could talk with this idealistic man
OF our coldly scientific twentieth century
he would soon leave you in no doubt of the
magic country OF fairies, his sparkling
Dyes (that are sometimes green and some
times Yellow would aid the enthusiastic
words in completely proving It to you.
A son OF Virginia, he has never forgotten
the stories Of elf land once told him by
negro mammies. A little depression will
illustrate his unQuestioning belief. II
seems that some one having lost beloved
parent, read poem Of Mr.. Walkers, THE
Legacy Of Prayer" and promptly wrote to
him. This letter was the beginning OF q
