Penalty of Fame

The gifted author conquers lame
and alb the multitudes applaud, d
household word he's made his name
and gained most attractive wad. Men
see him banking large, pink checks
that call for most astounding sums
and getting smiles and bows and becks
from every rubberneck who comes.
They see him chased by movie chiefs
who want his story for their show
Here is a man who has no grlefs.
men say. "his life's devoid of woe. No
wonder that he smiles and sings, no
wonder that he's blithe and gay; he
has abSorbers on his springs, and all
life's joltS are smOothed away This
author, ere he gained applause, wrote
books that perished at their birth. all
full of blemishes and flaws and show
ing little signs of worth. 1t was by
striving to excel, and struggling for
the vital truth, that in the end he
rang the bell, and built in Easy street
his booth. And now he's won success
he hopes that those old books may
buried be. like clammy corpses tied
with ropes to millStoneS in sunless
sea. If they're forgotten he can live,
enjoying all there is of peace, and
have his limousine and give diamond
sunburst to his niece. But heartless
publishers recall that once they issued
books of his with new editions,
Spring and Fall. the presses then be
gin to whiz. And all his half-baked,
callow books are spread before the
peoples gaze, and they exclaim, "Ods
fish" Gadzooks. Why has he gath
cred so much praise?' And in his
home in Easy street the author
writhes and wrings his teeth, and
tears his beard and bites his feet and
at the tomcat throws his wreath.

WORK OF YIN. CA.
PRAISED AT DINNER
Banquet Given by 0rganiza-
ton in Honor of Visiting
Greek PreIate.

The y. NJ. c. A. as an agency for
spreading international good will and
for the perpetuation of the ideals OF
liberty. upon which this country is
founded, were themes discussed last
night at a dinner at the Metropolitan
Club given by a committee represent
ing the Washington Y. NJ. c. a. in
Metropolitan of Thessalonika. and
members of his party, who constitute
q commission of friendship to this
country.
The Greek visitors, who represent
the Hellenic Young Mems Christian
Association, have come to this coun-
try primarily to interest the Greeks
in America in the development of the
Greek Y. NJ. c. A. The dinner last
night at the Metropolitan Club was
the concluding feature of their three
day visit to Washington, one of the
cities which have been included in
tour they are making of the Eastern
part of the United States.
One OF the features of the dinner
last night was the announcement by
William Knowles Cooper, general sec
retary of the Washington Y. NJ. c. A..
that the 1000 Greeks of Washington
have pledged themselves to raise n
fund of $4,000. which will 20 toward
the upbuilding of the y. NJ. c. A. or
ganiZation and equipment in Greece.
A substantial start toward raising
this fund has already been made, Mr.
Cooper said. and the gift is only
part of that which it is hoped will be
subscribed toward the fund by Greeks
throughout the United States.
Weapon For Democracy.
In introducing the guests of the eve
ming Clarence Aspinwall, chairman of
the dinner committee. spoke of the
Y. NJ. c. A. as one Of the institutions
which is doing much to give practical
expression to the spread of good will
among the nations, and this sentiment
was echoed by Admiral Constantine
Melas, a member of the Greek delega-
ton. He has found in the Y. NJ. c. A,
Admiral Melas said. an institution
which does much to perpetuate the
ideals which were those of ancient
Greece and which have come down
to America today. The same spirit
which allows the existence of such
an organization in the United States.
he said, is an adequate explanation
of why bolshevism and communism
have been unable to get a foothold
on this side of the water. In the
Y. NJ. c. a, he said, Greece today
IL HCdpoIt anu VI
fighting the spread of communism
and the doctrines which tend to dis
integrate the republic. He described
the purposes Of the metropolitan s
visit to this country. and from it, he
said, it is hoped to interest the peo-
pie of America. especially those of
Greek origin, in putting the Y. NJ.
c. A. on a firmer and more pros.
porous footing in his country.
Speaking in Greek, the metropolitan
extended a greeting from his people
and took occasion to thank the Amer
lean people for their gifts and help
to Greece. especially since the war.
In the Y. NJ. c. A.. he said, people
of all nationalities and religions find
common medium of expression. His
remarks were interpreted by u. l..
Amoss. secretary of the Greek
Y. NJ. c. A.

Mr.. Cooper, in touching on the
international Y. NJ. G. A. movement,
spoke of it's progress in CZeCho-

he said, are taking an active inter
est in the foundation there of the
y. NJ. c. A., and recognize in the
association a valuable agency for the
dissemination OF the high ideals
which make for good citizenship.
The committee in charge of the
dinner and representing the Washing
ton association was composed of Mr..
Aspinwall. Coleman Jennings. II. l..
