With a little mere weight but as modest as when he left here four years ago to enter Harvard, Henry Clark. who made athletic history and won many scholastic honors during his abser'ce, returned to Ketchikan this morning for a short visit in the North, alter which he will return Eas. to enter business at Manchester, N. II. Accompanyin him on his trip north is Mrs. G. C. Clark, his mother His wife and child are in Seattle awaiting his return to the States
 During his course at Harvard. which came to end in December when he was graduated, Henry Clark won numerous scholarships and a high place in college circles on the grid iron and as member of the track team. He had intended to eEtter the law school of Harvard but has been given such flaftering offer at Man chcster that ha VII take il up for the present.
 Harvard, although reputed to be the alistCaatic institution of the United States, the home. as many be- lieve, of snobs and sn1bbery. is the most democratic in the world, in Clark's belief, and nowhere is the fellow without financial means given greater assistance in putting himself through. Everybody there, from the president and faculty to the most humble student, is there with the helping hand for the fellow who is trying to help himself.

GIBSON AND DU MAURlER
French Author And Artist Paid High
 Tribute To American

cannot mention that delightful play of "Trilby." so skillfully drama tized from Du Maurier's novel by Paul Potter. without telling little story which proclaims the authors very sim cere admiration of the talent or Charles Dana Gibson.
 It seems that when the latter was beginning his career he desired above everything to meet George du Maurier who was then a master in that form of art which Gibson most desired to emulate. While in London, unheralded and unknown, he called upon Du Maurier and timidly showed him some of his drawings while seeking his ad- vice.
 No one could have been kinder or more encouraged than Du Mourier When they parted he told Gibson how proud he would be to have him as a pupil.
 Years passed before they met ever again. Gibson in the meanwhile had risen rapidly to eminence. His name was known in every American house. hold and his fame had become inter- national Remembering his first visit, I thought a portfolio of his drawings fin reproduction would interest Du Maurier, so on reaching London called upon him, taking the sketches with me.
 AS Du Maurier turned them over and said, "When you see Gibson tell him that our roles have changed, be- cause he has now become master while I shall be proud to be his pupil. Elisabeth Marbury in the Saturday Evening Post.

FORD IDEA MAY FILL AIR WITH "FLIVVERS"
Impressed By Fact That Bird Lizzie
 Can Beat Earth Variety

F'ARMINGDALE, N. r., Oct. 1S.- Henry Ford, who speckled the sur face of the earth with flivvers, has ideas that may fill the air with them. Mir. Ford's theories on the future Of the lair Lizzies" as heard by Law renee Sperry, American father of the living fllvver, were reported by MT. Ford today on his return from a 2.000-n1ile trip in his tiny plane, the Messenger.
 A month ago Mir. Sperry left Farm ingdale on his tour, during which he visited Washington, Detroit and St. Louis. At Detroit he talked with MT. Ford. MT. Sperry said MT. Ford was impressed by the fact that a flying flivver could go further on a gallon of gas than an earth flivver.
 The city boy, MT. Ford thought, was quicker to accept a new idea than the country boy, as proved by the country boys reluctance to give up the plough horse for the tractor. So MT. Ford thought Mir Sperry should try to sell his planes to city boys first
 The three-cy cylinder aircooled motor with which the Sperry flivver is equipped, interested Mir. Ford a great deal, MT. Sperry said.
 Mr. Sperry said MT. Ford expressed the belief that in large numbers the engine could be built for $50
 If he is right" MT. Sperry said, the first air flivver could be put on the market for less than s1,O0o."

 When told he was not, MT. Ford replied:
 "Quite right. It would be unfair to have a new medium of transporta- ton held back by the prejudices of an older generation"

EX-PREM|ER PAYS LINCOLN TRIBUTE
Lloyd George Is Officially Welcomed To Illinois By
 Governor Small

SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. 1S.-David Lloyd George was officially well comed to the state tonight by Gov ernor Small at a public dinner in the Leland hotel. Speaking of the dis tinguished visitor, the governor said that "his has been a courageous life of service to his country and to his fellow men, as was that of our mar tyred President"
 In his address Mr. Lloyd George saidt
 T have come here today with one purpose and with one purpose only to pay my humble and reverent trib- ute of respect to the memory of one of the great men of the world. It is difficult to express the feeling with which l visited the last resting place of one of the noblest figures in the history of mankind. There have been great men whose lives constitute part of the history of the world; there are a few whose lives have be- come part of the legends of human ity. These are the greatest, and Lincolns name will ever remain con spicuous among them. His fame is wider today than 1t was at the date of his death, and it is still widening. His influence is deeper and it is still deepening.
 Belongs To Race.
 Even if this were the occasion, I do not feel competent to pronounce any judgment on the qualities that made him great or the deeds or the words that will make his name en- dure forevermore. Least of all would I presume to be so in the city where there are still living men who knew him. All I know about him is that he was one of these rare men whom you do not associate with any par ticular creed or party or even coun- try: he belongs to the human race in every cline, land and age.
 There are the great men of a party or of a creed. There are great men of their time and there are great men of all time for their own native land, but Lincoln was a great man of all time for all parties and for all lands. He was the choice and the champion of a party, but his lofty soul could see over and beyond party walls the unlimited terrain beyond. His motto was: Stand with anybody who stands right. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong No pure par tisan would ever assent to so disin- tegrating a proposition.
 .Life saddest Of stories.~
 T have read many of his biogra- phies. His career was highly suc- cessful, judged by any standards from the wretched log cabin of Ken lucky, of which I saw picture to- day, through that comfortable home I visited, CT the official residence Of the President of the greatest republic on earth, seems a triumphal march enough for any career. And yet his life is in many ways one of the sad dest of human stories, and even the tragic end comes as q relief,
 He once said: T have not will ingly planted a thorn in any mans . bosom and yet, as soon as he | reached the height of ambition, this man, who summed hurt and scat tered kindness on his path, was doomed by a cruel destiny to send millions of his own fellow w-country- men through the torturing experi- ences of prolonged and fierce war against their own kith and kin"
