WORLD

YARNS
by Lieut.. Fronk e. Hogon
Time Out for Tea


Edward S. Sothern, the Shake
spearean actor who has participated
In thousands of stage appearances,
played to his most extraordinary audi
ences and under the most unusual
conditions of his career, during the
World war.
Sothern engaged in a tour of the
British and American rest camps and
staged his shows on both the British
and American fronts. Like as not,
when the most dramatic moment ar
rived during a performance a sudden
cry of lights Out" would presage
an air raid and the performance would
suspend until the "All Clear" signal
was heard.
At other times a bursting shell near
the hut where the actor impersonated
his favorite bits of Hamlet or King
Lear added to the drama of the occa-
sion.
Once on the British front, Sothern
had need of a philosophy only years
of public appearances supplies.
The "Tommies" of the audience had
never heard of Sothern. They sat en-
tertained while a troupe of trained
dogs were put through their PAGES.
Then Sothern, and tea time, arrived
simultaneously. Being accustomed to
tea through generations of habit, the
Tommies walked out in body on
Sothern.
"There may have been times when
I would have simply been staggered
by such reception" the veteran
actor commented afterward. "But up
there-well, / understood"

Faith of the Child

Know you what it is to be child?
It is to be something very different
from the man of today. 1t is to have
a spirit yet streaming from the wa
tiers of baptism; it is to believe in love-
to believe in loneliness, to believe in
beliefs; it is TO be so little that the
elves can reach to whisper in your
ear; it is to turn pumpkins into
coaches and mice into horses, lowli-
ness into loftiness, and nothing into
everything, for each child has its fairy
godmother in its own soul; it is to
live in nutshell and count yourself
the king of infinite space: it is
To see a world in a grain of sand.
And a heaven in a wild flower:
Hold infnity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Shawls for Men

In the closing years of the Civil
war the cost of garments made to
order was so great and money was
so scarce that it was no sign of pow
erty to wear a shawl. Most men wore
them, says an article in the Milwau-
kee Journal. Mems shawls were most
ly good, heavy wool, dark gray or
brown. Some were striped and some
were checked with dark blue or green.
Men folded their shawls lengthwise.
Worn that way, a shawl was good
protection to the neck and shoulders
and took the place of both coat and
muffier. Most men were dressed
warmly underneath. They wore red
flannels and sometimes chamois vests

Thought" in Lower Animals

Some psychological laboratories
nowadays look like Noahs ark, for
many mind readers are trying to dis
cover whether, or how well, different
species of animals think. One trouble
with such methods is that animals
behave unnaturally in cages. The
way r. L. Garner studied animal
psychology was better. Instead of
putting animals in cages, he Gagged up
himself with a tame chimpanzee in a
Congo jungle for 12O days and OBJ
served the behavior of the creatures
that stared in at him.

The Gallo Temperament

Soldiers of the French army, as
they appeared to American eyes, were
q strange but likeable mingling of
vivacity and philosophy. The philo-
sophical ones, per example. were those
old fellows who, instead of peacefully
fishing somewhere along the Seine, or
Aube, or Aisne or some Of those other
streams, were holding their part Of
the line of trenches known as the
Western Front.
Their philosophy manifested itself
most noticeably as they trudged along
mountain roads, returning to their Sec
tors in the Vosges, stopping now and
then to nibble at the huge brown
bread each man carried. They would
be told to return to a sector at GER
tain time and each soldier would wan
der In promptly, on his own. Can you
imagine Yank regiment doing that?
Among the vivacious element were
the French engineers. One little Incl
dent illustrates them perfectly. 1t
occurred on a shell-torn road near
Verdun. The engineers were repairing
the road. A passing truck churned up
a soldiers body from the mud and an
engineer, thinking the corpse Boche,
jumped upon 1t with both feet.
"Cochon! Cochon!" shouted the ex-
cited Frenchman.
OF sudden, the engineer discovered
the body to be that Of one of his
comrades. His attitude changed in
a fash and, dropping to his knees, he
began wiping the torn face clean,
murmuring soft phrases, as tender as
woman. Work on the road was
stopped by the entire detail. They
turned to with their shovels and gave
the dead Poilu decent burial.

Revenge!

An English colonel who, this yarn
must reveal, was not too popular with
his troops, was prowling about one
night in No Mans Land, just north Of
Arras He was seen in the light Of
q star shell sent soaring aloft from
the German lines. When the next
shell shed its gentle light over the
disputed ground Boche sniper in
tree fired upon the Englishman.
The colonel rolled into a convenient
shell hole and lay there, unframed,
while succeeding star shells burst and
burned out. Came a lull and dark
ness and the colonel crawled back into
his own trenches.
"See here" he upbraided the lieuten-
ant in command. "What dye mean
by not getting that sniper In the tree
who fired at me?"
"We didn't see him, SIR" replied
the officer. But he shall be taken
care of Immediately. I'll put one Of
my best riflemen on the job at once"
The appeased colonel hiked back to
his dugout while sharpshooter was
summoned and ordered to bring down
the German sniper. The man took up
position at a rift in the parapet. adj
justed his sling and waited. A star
shell scared upward from the enemy
lines and burst Its radiance revealed
the German marksma1 in his tree.
When the next shell lighted up the ter
rain the English rifieman was ready
and sent bullet whistling true to its
mark.
As the German collapsed and hung
grotesquely from the branches Of his
hiding place, the English sharpshooter
remarked:
Take that, you for missing
our colonel"

E|NSTE|N ADMITS
BEING PERPLEXED
Does Not Know Answer to
/ Questions Astronomy Has
Raised About Universe.
By the Associated Press.


PASADENA, Calf, February Ia
Astronomical observations and physical
experiments are far ahead of theoretical
physics, says DR.. Albert Einstein.
The great mystery of the structure of
the universe rests in the movement of
island upiverseS. as the distant nebulae
are known. This perplexes Einstein.
Il don't know the answer" he said
Yin response to request from Mount
Wilson astronomers to give conclusions
from his unified field theory equations
as to what he thinks CT cosmology
discovery seven years ago by Maj.
!, Edwin p Hubble, who determined that
snebulae were island universes separate
from our own galaxy or milky way,
created a new problem for Einstein.
This problem revolves around what
astronomers call the red shift of distant
nebulae. In spectroscopic photographs
the spectrum lines of distant nebulae
shift toward the red.
Hubble interprets this red Shift as
apparently showing the rapid recession
of distant nebulae from our nebulae.
That is, the nebulae at 100,000,000 light
years distant, or 100000 600 900 900 ,000.-
600 miles, are speeding away from the
neighborhood of the earth at rate OF
1900 miles a second or almost 26,000,-
) 900 miles an hour
Astronomers generally interpret this
red shift as an apparent velocity. rms
is known as the Doppler effect. Elm
stein suggested that some other con-
clusion for this effect might be looked
for, but said he did not know how to
account for it.
