franc at about IS to the dollar,

have a sizeable advantage over Pres
dent Coolidge, who gets $4,000 salary
and $4,000 for travelling and entertain
ment.
The French presidents encourage
claims that the two and half million
francs allotted their chief just about
suffices to make ends meet. While his
travelling expenses are normally less
than Mr.. Coolidge's, he has to enter
tain, they assert, on far more lavish
scale. When it is taken into account
that he must provide champagne and
other -Volsteadian beverages for
all his official receptions, there seems
to be ground for that assumption.

Cyril Mannester, globe trotter,
wanderer on the face of the earth,
who has been five times around the
world as camera man for news
serials, is now painting signs in
Douglas. Alert, compact and smiling,
Mannester's appearance bellies the 40
years to which he admits. He has
light blue eyes and sandy hair and
takes life as he finds it. He has
the frank, open countenance of a
man who has spent much of his
time in outdoor life and travel.
From Cape Town to Stockholm,
from London to Shanghai, Mannester
has matched his wits with the ad-
venturers Of the world. He has been
broke in foreign ports, where but
few men spoke English. Hardship
and adventure he has met in every
corner of the globe and conquered.
Mannester was born in the southern
part of what is now Arizona when
it was a territory, he said. He
does not know the exact place of his
birth, for his parents were travelling
at the time. His early schooling was
in a school at Cape Town, South
Africa. Later he attended normal
school in Wisconsin and studied for
a time at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology he said.
For more than ten years Man
hester said he Travelled with a moving
picture camera. He took pictures on

John Brown came to North Elba
in 1848, when he was 48. He had
been in the WOOL business in Mass
achusetts, but ne believed he could
do more for The cause OF abolition
by moving to this part OF the Adiron-
dacks. Gerrit Smith, a pllilan~
thropist, had set aside, 10000 acres
for worthy negroes. Brown bought
some of Smiths holdings and the
next spring established his family
in a rude cottage.

high plateau, rir2med by the high

the Pathe and Fox companies. During
that time he took pictures Of the
earthquake and tidal wave in Japan,
the crater of the Kilauea volcano
in Hawaii, the Victoria falls in
central Africa and many other
hazardous and difficult scenes.
He rode elephants through the
iungles of India on tiger and lion
hunts. He rode camels in Arabia
and padded a canoe on the zam-
bezi river in Africa. During the time
he travelled with his camera he took
scenes in China, Africa, India, Siam,
Japan, Russia, Norway, Sweden
France, Denmark and other countries.
The Victoria falls are the most inn
posing he has ever seen, Mannester
stated.
In China Mannester took pictures
of portions of the Great Wall and
of peasant life 1t was by chance
that he was in Toxic when the
earthquake hit Japan, he said. He
had been there but two days. During
his travels Mannester has learned
to understand smattering of Span
ish, German, French, several Hindu
dialects and several of the dialects
spoken by the negroes of Africa.
Much of Mannester'S travelling has
been on a motorcycle, he said. He
has been in Douglas about five
months. w" ny

"There can be no objection to
