Everything that I am today said Mr.. Vallee, as
he was cornered in q safety deposit vault, II owe to
hard work. I was born In Maine but left the state In
plenty Of time. I went to Yale to get q college edu-
cation and it was only through good luck that 1 didn't
get 1t. Another year or two in college and I would
have been q bond salesman or an engineering assist
ant at the General Electric plant.
Il left college because there we're no girl profess
sors and as soon as I confirmed my suspicious that
the dean could not be swayed by a soft voice. I would
have left sooner had I known that there was never
any chance that the faculty would let me sing my
answers to Greek tests through a megaphone.
MY folks said Go to college, my son. and you will
never regret i'll They were right. It was at col
lege that I first played the saEaphone. Had I played
It anywhere else ! might have been summarily stop
ped. No. / never went In for football. It Is probably
just as well as the best I could have done was to
make the All-American.
MY father wanted me 70 become a professional
man and he used to 60 into a quarry and pound his
head against the granite slabs whenever he heard
reports that 1 considered there was q great future for
me IN the world Of jazz music. The news that ! had
spent several years at Yale and had been turned out
as a first-class orchestra musician nearly killed him.
"It has been a hard struggle and my advice TO young
men is to hue TO the line. let the checks. fall where
they may. At first it was a bitter struggle and 7
found 1t hard to make more than 5000 or $500 a week
singing over the radio. 7 remember one cold wintry
night when, after a hard seasons work, ! found my
self with only $4,000 in my pockets.
II kept plugging away dauntlessIy and managed to
draw down $1,000 q week. Then $4,000 and then So
900. But was I discouraged? Mol Did I give up
like a ~weakling? MOI Did I say There Is no use
trying to succeed. Luck Is against me?' mol
Night after night I climbed to the radio studio
and sang 70 my unseen audience. Often II meant
a half-hours work. but 7 didn't mind it. I was de-
termined 70 succeed.
well. then came photograph records and talking
pictures just when il seemed I would never really be
a success. My weekly income son went into enor-
nous figures. I am q rich man. But 1t was q close
call. There we're dark hours when ] feared ! might
grow up to become President or something.

Texas teachers held a session. Some Of the edu-
cational problems OF the day we're presented to the
association by DR.. L.. H.. Hubbard, president Of the
State College for Women at Denton.
He declared educational advancement in Texas has
been rapid the last three decades and the outstanding
achievements were the expansion of the facilities;
increased financial support: consolidation Of rural
schools: improvement Of the professional prepara-
ton Of teachers; reorganization Of the state board
OF education.
There was q time when Texas was very low In
the list OF states. speaking OF It's classification as an
educator Of all the children Of the people. There has
been rapid progress along modern lines in recent
years. but there are millions OF iliterates in Texas
and iliteracy is crime in an American common
wealth.
Ignorance is the mother OF bigotry. the running
mate Of superstition and the i~nstigator Of intoler-
ance. It should be blotted out under the skies Of
the Lone Star.

CHAPTER 81


Rowdy dispatched Lowery TO tele-

post office to talk with John Shoe
maker.
IL was evident that Mr.. Shoe
maker was quite as unable to grasp
the fact that an airplane had
crashed two miles from the town
as the farmers wife had been.

man had disappeared he shook his

The postmaster was doubtful
again.

That's Missus Maggie Anthony. She
don't talk to nobody. She lives up
there by herself all time and never
as much as sets foot In the village.

Rowdy asked. rs she crazy?"

Schoolboy Kills Chum
 In Bitter Fist Fight

Chicago, June 25 R-A 15-year old schoolboy was killed yesterday when he and another youth of the same age fought with fists to settle thctr grievances.
 The victim. Harry Heavilin, was punched in the stomach by Roy Stokes, police learned, shortly after the fight started.
 Heavilin, it was learned. became angry a week ago when Ctokes, a member of the junior police of the school both boys attended. forbade him to cross the street against traf- fic. The fist fight was decided on as the best way to settle the differences.
 The Stokes boy was held for the inquest.

 Cool City Atop Equator
 Ecuador has new health minis try. Quito already is clean and healthful city. with q cool climate because of its attitude, despite the fact that it almost rides astride the Equator. Guayaquil has attained 2 similar health status and the sani- tary provisions that have made those cities healthful are spreading rapidly throughout the country.
 Peru has new. pure water sys- tems in it's principal cities. sewage disposal IS generally practiced. and President Lesuia. by decree. has taken effective measures to combat the bubonic plague in even remote districts.
 Brazil showed its effective health organization when it took quick measures to stamp out the recent recrudescence of yellow fever and now has the epidemic under control.
 Other Nations Also Benefit
 'The vigorous steps taken in South America rebound to the advantage of all other countries having com- munication with that continent, Dr. Long points out. The measures taken by the Pan-American Sanitary bu- i reau elimipates disases at the source the rational way to prevent their spread.
 ''The first attack on diseases has penetrated the strongholds of ty- phoid. the dysenteries. infant nor tality, and has been marked by . decrease in tuberculosis which 50 often follows from weakened re- sistance among those who have suf- fered from the other aforemention- ed causes.
 Though parts of 1t lie in the Tropics. South America is peculiarly free from malignant or peculiar types of epidemics. In few restrict ed areas occurs the eruptive disease. not found elsewhere. verruga. the cause of which is not yet known but which is being studied. Then there is the Chagos disease. transmitted by the insect il Barbero' 50 named by the natives because it's stripping sug- gests a miniature barber pole.
 HOnk Of Auto Keeps Doctor Away
 One other major factor, aside from the simple sanitary measures mentioned, in the attack upon hu- man disease, is good roads. Even the most ardent good roads enthusiast might not have thought that the honk of the motor horn helps keep the doctor away. But. pr. Long ex- plains, in backward areas many diseases follow in the wake of poor economic and social conditions By enabling the native grower to get his goods to market the living stand ard rises and the death rate is low cred.
 Tn one South American country, Dr. Long recalled. the government was criticised for heavy expendi- ture on new roads. The answer of the president quickly dissipated all opposition. He merely pointed out how many more bushels of potatoes had been hauled over the new high way to more profitable markets than ever crossed the old trails"
