Celebrated Artist
Is Sick and Lonely

dres-sur-Loing, France. Feb. ~
R-Half paralyzed and almost blind,
one Of the acclaimed composers of
the world, Frederic Delius, is spend
ing the remaining days of his life In
this tiny hamlet about fifty miles
from Paris.
The man who imagined the music
for "Koanga" and "Margot lie Rouge"
no longer writes music; his greatest
effort Is to shelter himself from the
world. Each day his devoted wife
reads him the French, German and
English newspapers, then, II the
weather Is good, he Is pushed In q
wheel chair to the river that flows at
the foot Of his garden for an hour or
so Of fresh air.
Even the touch Of his beloved plano
is denied him. for his hands tremble
SO that they cannot find the keys.
The recognition that has come to him
Of recent years was too late, for De-
Illus cannot hear the plaudits that
are accorded his compositions.

'An1erica's Rich Men Make Money
But Bad Love-, Says Lily Dan1if,

New York. Feb. a. = (NEA) =
America millionaires are dull! And
the richer they are the duller they
are!
Such is the report Of the blond and
lovely Lily Damita, who captured
the time and fancy of Prince George
in Hollywood, and who bases her as
sertion on experiences met on the
first half Of cross-country "person-
al appearance" trip.
"They talk only Of business" she
reports in her still faltering Eng
lish. "lmagine-five beautiful wo-
men standing in a corner having to
talk to themselves, while the men
all stand around talking business.
And when they do talk to you-what
is it? 1t is the stock market and
how business is bah! There is
no romance.
"The French millionaire what
of him? Well, they are SO few COM
pared to your American rich men.
And the French are the French
whether they are rich or not.
Detroit the Worst
"No-1 have met hundreds of
your American rich men. They make
good money, but bad love. They do
not know romance. They know bust
ness. Detroit was the worst. There
were-oh so many millionaires-but
what good? l would not marry one
of them. It would not be amusing
even to have a romance. They are all
too dull. They can keep their money
poor things-they must need it
since they do not know how to have
fun.
1T is too bad. In Detroit they
gather around and say have drink
and come and see the night life. But
l do not drink-and the night life?
1t is $3.50.
ION the Pacific coast they say
F. come and sail on my yacht!
And the beautiful movie girls sail
on their yachts. l have sailed just
so-they have yachts like a Euro
pean palace. Yet the rich men are
dull, the yachts are dull-they must
drink the bad gin to even talk.
Poor Boys Interesting
"1n America it is the poor boy
who is interesting. He knows Of
books and the theater and the arts
and the music-ycs. and he knows Of
the romance. He has the ideas and
he knows the struggle. He does not
need the money !. yet he tries to
get it and when he gets it, he
gets fat and dull. 1t is all too bad"
Miss Damita, appearing in con-
nection with her first American pic
ture, "The Rescue" already has Wis
tied half dozen key cities in the
middle west and after stay in New
York returns via st. Louis, Indian
apolis, Kansas City and way points.

Editor Tribune:
Bismarck Is city that we citizens
caB feel proud Of. AS capital city,
1t has every opportunity Of becom-
ing 4 great city, and the growth Of
the past few years indicates that It
is fast shedding its old garments Of
provincialism and gradually replace
ing them with up to date ones.
Our city has made rapid strides In
the last decade and those of us who
have watched the process Of her ma
turing have been happy to note that
. great deal Of it has been In the
nature Of Identification.
I have long felt that this city could
be made one OF the most beautiful
places In the northwest, If we would
exert ourselves enough to put over
the necessary movements that would
make 1t 50.
Situated as we are. with two en-
frances and exits. both Of which offer
many possibilities for identifying, we
could make the approach to Bismarck,
frd either side, 50 attractive to
tourists that tho city would profit
greatly and our reputation would be
one that we could feel proud Of.
have always felt that where q
city has been made beautiful, that
tho soul Of that city was different
than the other kind, and we've always
found It true In our journeys across
the country.
pin my faith to the results that
viii b accomplished through the
Garden Club. As q small organize
ton, II Is handicapped because Of
lack Of funds and further because Of
not enough members to make the
movements successful. so far the
Club has done q great deal Of good
considering the limited means, but
the chief results have been In the
help to the club members Themselves.
As Z club, for the benefit Of the
community, 1t should be able to direct
and encourage and supply. to the city

- possible. think the club has done
