Each of the forty members of the
club must hold an aeronautical Ii
cense or be engaged in commercial
aviation. This does not mean that
all members can handle a ship.
since aercnautical licenses can be
issued to radio operators and me-
chanicS. The instruction commit
tee insists that each member must
learn to fly and to answer questions
which deal with motors, rules of
traffic, aerodynamics and the theory
of flight. This is necessary for the
safety records at meets which are
held during the year.

amusement this afforded, the stunt

Herbert Whiteman and his party
were going over in a big way at
Roth park, Freeman lake, until the
storm stopped them. These anglers
had a supply of choice minnows,
soft craw, helgemite and worms for
bait, and certainly were disappoint-
ed when they were forced to leave
the lake.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-07-03

A simple but effective method of
keeping night crawlers in good
shape during the hot weather is to
soak a supply of paper thoroughly
and then place the paper and worms
in layers in the container. News
zprint paper is best, as it absorbs
&nore water.

It's good life, and in spite of what we writers

Even among the intellectuals. They are a

culties, real or imagined, but a mood of honesty
impels me to warn you in advance that even they,
for the most part, live in domestic peace and joy.
If they don't, the reasons will be almost the
same for them as for any other class of people,
except that with the intellectuals the problems
of marriage are exaggerated.
Mt because they think too much! In many
The Washington times., 1933-09-09

FOLLOWING is the, fifth article in series by
/ celebrated writers on the theme. "What Is
Wrong with American Marriages." Its author is
the famous novelist historian and ssvant, John
Erskine, whose "The Private Life Of Helen of
Troy created an International sensation when it
first was published.
Professor Erskine, in his penetrating analysis
of the private lives of the welded hghbrows, makes
several remarkable philosophical disclosures.
He Speculates on Just what would have happened
The Washington times., 1933-09-09

What would have happened if Dante had
married Beatrice? You couldn't state the prob
lem in more majestic terms. One of the noblest
of women, married to one of the greatest of in
tellectuals! I doubt if they would have got on
we'll. But if they could indeed have been happy,
the reason would have been that she was, as he
liked to tell us, superhuman.
He came walking along the Florentine street,
you remember, and she passed, with two other
girls. That sight of her and her brief greeting
lasted him all his life, he being, from mans
point of view, a great lover. She married some
one else, and too soon she died, but his love was
accelerated rather than interrupted.
When she first occupied his thoughts, he con-
templated her heavenly beauty, but as his love
deepened he saw in her an angel, messenger,
to rouse and save his sluggish SOUL and as his
passion continued to grow, she became for him
the embodiment of Mercy and Grace and Para
disc and Beatitude and Theology.
Byron did not altogether miss the spirit of
Dante's creative love when he suggested that
perhaps Beatrice sometimes represented the
higher mathematics.
This was all very we'll, since Beatrice was not
his wife, was in fact dead and knew nothing
about it. But suppose he had married her and
then had behaved this way? There are plenty of
cheap jokes-Byron made some-to the effect
The Washington times., 1933-09-09

if Dante had married his
Beatrice instead of wor-
shipping her from a dis
lance; writes amusingly
of Lady Caroline Lambs
infatuation for Lord
Byron, who did NOT
marry her, and has some
interesting observations
to make about the long
procession of ladies that
occupied the time of
Richard Wagner.

He won't make her a substitute for his life
work, for his science, his music, his writing, his
research. 1t never occurs to him to do so, and
if she tries so far as to suggest it, he will be
prodigiously shocked. When he falls in love, she
becomes for him not substitute for his life work
but the most glamorous expression of it.

cared more for the girl he was engaged to or for
his poetry. He side-stepped neatly and no doubt
sincerely. "She is my poetry" 1t was strictly

The matrimonial difficulties of the intelec-

he is young and obscure. They increase when
he becomes famous. They are truly formidable
