GIBBS AS A REPORTER
Noted War Correspondent Was Dead
Iy Solemn, Companion Says

Sir Philip Gibbs, one of the greatest
of war correspondents, seems to have
been a dub of reporter in his youth.
He was one who matured slowly, and
his ideal of thoroughness was not read
lily adapted to the limited space condi-
tons Oil the London Daily Express.
There was a daily column in the Elk
press then to which members of the
staff contributed in turn. When Gibbs
turn came there was an internal con-
vulsion to get him to do it in time,
and within the space limit. He was
likely to start out with brilliantly
worded and carefully balanced para
gdOprs, and then have to recast it or
throw it away and start all over again.
At least this is the version given in
the Canadian Bookman by Beatrice NJ.
Hay Shaw, who was on the Express at
the time, Here is her picture of the
serious young man
He was without exception the most
solemn, the most deadly and awfully
serious, and tremendously -in-earnest
young mani have ever meet-whether,
outside the office he was ever known to
smile l do not know-he certainly
never ventured upon even the tiniest
flicker of one while he was with me in
it-needless to say he never made
joke or joined in that ripple of light
hearted witticism and ribaldry which is
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-11-02

characteristic of the average reporter.
He was swathed from early morning
until midnight in a mantle OF gloom
and dependency, and venture to say
there was not one living soul, least Of
all Gibbs himself, who ever for mo
ment dreamed that in twenty years
time his name would be at the head OF
the list of modern journalists, while
many of those who bantered and whof
laughed about him and his solemnity,.
his pedantry and his supposed lack Of
humor would be buried in oblivion.
1t was not that hes had no literary
ability. He could not bring his work
down to the light quick, comprehensive
methods necessary for a successful re-
porter on a paper where space was SO
limited that even an important news
story often had to be condensed into a
half or three-quarters of column.
Reading his latest work l often smile
to myself when | recall him and his
desperate struggles in those days, for
even now there are traces of the careS,
fully weighed and thought-out sem.
tencs, the polished and rounded para
graphs which were the breath of life to-
him and anathema to the editor underc
whom he worked - >;
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-11-02

it came to giving up anything which
was necessary to achieve her ambition,
she would make excuses to herself
which convinced her that she could not
do it.. -
However, l do believe there are a
good many women who would like to be
doing something but who do not use
their Imagination sufficiently to think
up job which would fit into their lives !;
consequently, 1 am gong to write a few
articles giving specific examples of
jobs there are to be done. But one thing
must be taken for granted, and that is
that l am writing them for women who
really want to work and not for women
who would like to say that they have
job, but who would not for anything
undertake either the responsibility or
the necessary concentration and eff
fort that the work would demand.
There are. of course, two kinds of
women to be considered; the woman
who, even though married, is indepen-
dent-in other words, can employ one
or two servants and is able to go out
all day or part of the day, and the wom-
an who must stay at home and yet
would like to fill in extra hours and,
incidentally, make little money.
One other side of the question think
is worth while bringing up (and this
holds good for men as well as women)
1t has been my observation that many
people think that it is disgrace if one
does not succeed in the first job that
one attempts. I think this is an en-
tirely wrong attitude. None of us
unless we happen to have special tai
ent or urge can be sure until we have
tried a job whether or not we are suited
to the work. There is no disgrace in
this and the only intelligent attitude of
mind to have is that if we do not sue
coed in our first attempt there are
other fields open to us.
The main point is that believe that
today the woman who really wants
job has no excuse for not finding one.
1 shall first take up the fields open to
women who are free to give most of
their time and later the women who
have homes and children to care for.

Bandits Get Away
$165,OOO Jewel
Haul in New York

New York, June lin one OF the
most daring daylight holdups Of this
city, 10 automobile bandits today
waylaid a customs truck near Green
witch Village, kidnapped the driver,
terrorized spectators and escaped
with 20 packages of imported Jewels
and watches of an estimated value
Ct $165,000.
The lot, in a sealed mail pouch, was
consigned to Tiffany and Company
on Fifth Avenue. and q importers in
the Maiden Lane district of Lower
Manhattan. 1t had arrived on the
steamships Leviathan and Paris, and
was intercepted en- route from the
general postoff1ce to the appraisers.
While the traffic policeman on the
corner nearest the appraisers build
ing was issuing a summons to q law
breaking taxi driver, another taxicab
cut off the mail truck and forced It
to the curb. At that moment a sedan
drew up on the opposite side of the
street.
Two armed men leaped from the
taxicab to the truck. Eight others
issued from the sedan and with wav-
ing pistols cowed spectators into
voiceless immobility. Edward Foy,
driver OF the truck was hauled to the
SCuah, q piioOucT, WHO MS COM
panion on the drivers seat, Daniel
Keshon, vice president of the truck
ing corporation which was trans
porting the government mail under
contract, was dubbed with pistol
butts and flung into the gutter, I'M
conscious.
Before the nearby traffic officer be-
became aware of the affair, the val
tables were transferred to the taxi
cab which speeded off, as the sedan,
with FOy a prisoner, darted in an
other direction.
Keshon was first to telephone an
alarm. A few minutes later Foy
phoned from Washington Heights,
seven miles from the scene OF the
holdup, that he had been dumped
out at 14Sth street and Broadhurst
Avenue. unframed. His captors
headed north. he reported.
