Amnndsen's Medals

Roald Amundsen's vast collection of medals has
been sold to defray the debts of his estate He died
in debit and his medals go to the King Frederick
university of Oslo, Norway.
1t is a rather melancholy thing to think about
Amundsen was one of the giants of his time; yet
when he died. he left nothing tangible to settle his
estate except collection of medals and decorations
However, we need not waste much sympathy
Amundsens name is secure enough. Medals after
ALL are only things that to call attention to
unusual exploits; and Amundsens record will be re-
membered long after the medals have been forgotten
entirely.

Reason

THANKSGIVING is worth while,
Il for it does us all good to call
the roll of our blessings one day
in the year, since we spend the
other 1854 calling the roll of our
calamities, real and imaginary.
If those home-sick Pilgrims,
grateful for bare existence, could
establish it, we who have more than
any other people in the history Of
the race should find no difficulty
in observing it.
Twenty couples, all of them mar
ried fifty years, just have been pho
tographed in Los Angeles, which is
little short of marvellous, when you
consider how close Los Angeles is
to Hollywood.
In this picture, not one single calf
was on display, and this, too, is
little short of marvellous.
Through all the wild weather the
super dreadnaught Maryland en-
countered, Mr.. Hoover did not COM
plain, thinking possibly how the
ship of state was tossed by the
storms of war while Lincoln and
Wilson were its pilots.
Explorers claim they have found
the missing link in an African jun
gle just north of Cape Town, but
as he lives in a hole in the ground
and worships a grasshopper, we
haven't missed much.
Ex-AtCorney-G General Daugherty
claims that he induced Harding to
appoint Hoover Secretary of Com
merce, and if this is so, then
Daugherty rendered the country
more service before he entered the
cabinet than afterward.
The religious service of the Twen-
ty-first infantry at Honolulu last
Sunday night was featured by a
hula dance, which was very appro-
pirate in a way, inasmuch as it sug-
gested the scenery worn by our first
parents in the Garden Of Eden.

When John Barrymore went to
get his last marriage license he gave
his age as Al, but when we first
saw him in Cincinnati twenty-five
years ago he was in imminent peril
from whiskers.
If John is only Al, then we are
only learning to walk.

Twenty-one million gallons of
liquor were consumed in Germany
during 1927, which would indicate
that all Of them, except the former
Kaiser, have drowned their grief.

No One Believed Him

81 know there is little happiness
in a million dollars" an old New
Highlander used to say, because I
have it," yet who believed him? 1t
was like an inveterate smoker ad-
vising his son not to smoke. Much
OF the good advice we get by word
Of mouth is spoiled by the bad ad-
vice we get by way of action.
The man who advises other peo-
pie not to do the thing he keeps on
doing wastes breath. What we
practice is of greater influence than
what we preach.
There is nothing wrong about per
Sc, but there is everything wrong in
the failure to realize that enough is
enough.

Cry Saves Life

Croesus, so the legend runs, called
on Scion as the wisest man in the
world while waiting for slaves to
light his funeral pyre, and calling,
saved his life, for Cyrus, who had
taken his capital. heard his cry, and
thinking it referred to some strange
god, demanded that Croesus be
spared, that he might explain.
That is another aspect of the
symbolism commonly overlooked.

CIingS to Wrong Idea

In essentials, the experience Of
Croesus has been repeated over and
over again, but still we cling to
wealth and power as the all-im-
portant goal. Still, the world vi
sualizes them as offering the most
certain assurance of happiness.
Still, that type of prosperity which
runs to palatial establishments, dis
play and the control of other mems
fate challenges our admiration and
ambition.
Still, the multi-millionaire, the
chairman Of the board, the pro-
moter of trust and combine is looked
upon by the majority of people as
not only successful, but happy,

MARTrN JOHNSON. vino. witf

MARTIN JOHNSON, who, with his
wife, osa. Is responsible for the
big-game hunting picture "Simba." has
been an explorer since he ran away
from home at II years Of age.
Living in Independence. Kans., he
dreamed OF adventure. as most boys do,
but It is hardly probable that even his
dreams carried him as far as have the
realities of his life since.
One night he boarded a freight train
at Independence--a runaway, adven-
ture bound, He had no objective; he
just wanted TO roam. He worked as q
bellhop In Chicago, Travelled East and
then shipped ON a cattle boat TO Liver
pool. For year after that he lived
from hand TO mouth In London. He
slowed away on liner bound for Amer
lea. and while on the ship read in q
newspaper the story OF Jack LOndon's
plan 10 cruise around the world in the
Shark
Arriving In New York, young Johnson
wrote 10 London for q Job. He got a
reply Offering him the Job Of cook.
Martin went home. took some cooking
lessons from his mother and Joined
London. When the ill-fated expedition
ended In the South Seas. johnson spent
a year on the beaches there, during
which time he met stranded French
cameraman who taught the boy how
10 operate a motion picture camera.
Johnson photographed the natives and
such animals as he could find. The pic
lures were sent 10 Paris by the French
operator. but johnson had had the ex-
perience. and 1t stood him In good stead
In after years.
Returning 10 America. johnson be-
came lecturer IN vaudeville. telling his
experience with London and In the
South Seas. He was such n success
that he soon became an attraction on

mony that sweep through sue
ceSsive scenes with an unstudied
freedom that suggests iinprovisa-
ton. Every quickening of the
pulse in the stimulation of JOY,
every depression Of heart throb
in answer to sorrow, are told in a
song which seems to arise from
nature itself and defy the re-
Straints of technical notation. A
study Of this presentation Is like
turning back the pages OF time
and finding acquaintance with
grand opera in its primeval be-
ginning.
II "Porgy" may be accounted
the first almost inarticulate ex-
preston of music drama, IL comes
in close range Of contrast with the
last word as voiced by the Metro
politan Opera Co, which after
many years Of absence from this
world capital succeeded in COM
bining with Baltimore to give the
two cities half week each of its
time. while en- route from New
York. This city has a liberal
music patronage but has been
educated to the afternoon concert
through so many seasons that an
operatic engagement of the same
length as those undertaken In
other cities would mean an ex-
tensiye art menu where small
portions have become the habitual
fare.
The population of Atlanta, Ga,
Is recorded as 203, $50.
Statistics have, or should have,
little TO do with high artistic en-
deavOr.
In this case they serve to point
a paradox, and TO dispel the
mathematical delugion that the
supply Of grand opera will natu-
rally be regulated on terms OF
population.
