France, to eager Italian correspond
ents at Paris, I'VE are just beginning
to be able to draw picture Of what
Christopher Columbus looked like. He
had long face and long aquiline
nose. His dimpled chin showed
strength of character. His cheeks
were red like red apples. but his gray
eyes were wells of emotion. His whole
face was freckled and by thirty he
was totally gray.
''Even if Columbus had not discov-
cred America" continued Doctor Char
cot, ''he would have gone down in
history as the admiral who first pro-
vided seamen with hammocks in which
to sleep aboard ship. Columbus
was also one of the first great vege-
tarians He lived on fruits and
vegetables almost exclusively and
never drank alcoholic drinks, prefer
