Now He's Broke

He had to come home for two big
reasons-he promised his folks that
he would forget Ulysses for awhile
and put his feet under the family
table for Christmas in Memphis and
also, he is broke, although his par
ents are wealthy.
While in this country, he will give
more than a hundred lectures. He
locked last Saturday in New York,
gave two lectures there Sunday,
landed in indianapolis this morning,
left at IL a. m. for Memphis and
home.
The world is Halliburton's play
ground and Homer's Ulysses is his
companion. For more than a month,
this man studied in the libraries of
Athens. Greece.
II know that there are geograph-
ical locations in the stories of
Homer" he told me. II know be-
cause I have been to every place
visited by Ulysses"
And so this twenty-five year pld
vagabond of literary fame goes on
and on. hunting adventure grand
