most of her time was spent in
Europe.
The King and Queen of the
Belgians attended her wedding.
Her noble husband was wealthy
in his own name; the aris-
tocracy Of his birth was beyond
question and he brought to his
bride everything to make her
happy.
A swift carriage took the
couple to the train and back
they went to the Chimay castle
near Brussels, where Clara hid
her man in a family vault
while she put together a few
trunkfuls of clothing, and to-
gether they fled.
"We stole from her palace in
the dead of night, like two real
gypsies," said Rigo. Hand in
hand we fled, and I took her
straight to my mothers hut, in
the mountains near Pakozd,
where was born. She was the
most beautiful woman in all
Europe. ALI the world was in
my violin until I met her. But
after that, she was all the world
to me. We went to Yokohama,
we went to Bombay; all over
the world we travelled, happy as
two children"

American Bulwark

Mr.. Pittman's objection to the
Doctrine upon the ground that
it is "still a source of annoyance
in many parts Of Central and
South America" indicates that
he laborS under the hallucina-
ton that it involves the relation
ship of the United States and
the Latin American republics.
On the contrary, as Mr.. Pitt
man could easily have learned
from reading Mr.. Clark's memo
randum:
"The Doctrine does not con-
Germ itself With purely inter-
American relations; it has
nothing to do Uith the relation
ship between the United States
and other American nations,
except where other American
natiOn3 shall become inUolUed
With European governments in
arrangements which threaten
the security of the United
States; and eUen in such cases
the Doctrine runs against the
European country, not the
American nation, and the
United States would primarily
deal Hereunder with the Euro
pe0n country and not with the
American nation concerned"
AS for Mr.. Pittman's serene
assurance that mo foreign gov
ernment would now make such
an attempt as that against
which the Monroe Doctrine is
maintained" the American peo-
pie before abandoning the doc
trine will wish to know by whose
authority the chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations
offers this unconditional guar
antee of international good
faith.
Is Senator Pittman speaking
upon the authority of Stain,
Mussolini, Hitler or the general
commanding the Japanese army
in Manchuria?

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

the limpid waters of the Medi-
terranean, all the problems and
perplexities of modern life seem
far away, as indeed they are.
Syracuse is on the east coast
of Sicily and toward the south.
Here one finds the student, the
historian and the archeologist
piecing together the story of the
past from its fragments that re-
main. But if one wants only
to idle away the days, Syracuse
is a grand place in which to do
it, especially if you select one OF
the hotels with pleasant gar
dens outside the town. Many
people do this while they brush
up on history for a few days,
after which they feel better
equipped to view the relics Of
the past. Then one can discuss
with authority the Greek
theater, the Roman theater, the
ancient walls, fortresses, tombs,
catacombS, temples, cathedral,
Fountain of Arethusa, and the
many other links with bygone
days.
A short run from Palermo is
Cefalu with it's cathedral and
interesting remains dating from
prehistoric times. Then there
is Termini Imerese, on the coast
between Palermo anI Cefalu.
In ancient days it was famed,
as Himera, for its curative
waters. Today there Is a big
thermal establishment, and a
modern hotel annexed to it.

The Human Side of the News
Sale of Old Violin Recalls Vivid Romance
By EdWin C.. Hill

The finishing chapter of ro-
nance which once set the en-
tire world talking is being
written in New York, through
the advertising of a fiddle for
sale. True, it is a very wonder
full fiddle, made 800 years ago
by Amati; but the instrument
is only a reminder of a story
which fluttered the worlds gos-
sips for many a year.
The violin which has been
put up for sale belonged to
Janczi Rigo, a gypsy orchestra
leader who set the hearts of
beautiful ladies aflame on two
continents with his sensuous,
frenzied rhythms. Not a note
of music could he read: all his
playing was done by ear, but
the lifting melodies Of the Ro-
many folk songs, which made
up most of his repertoire, went
straight to romantic feminine
hearts.
Born in a suburb of Budapest,
Rigo set out early in life to earn
his way with his violin. He
played his way to Paris and
there, in the heart of the French
capital, became an overnight
sensation. James Gordon Ben
nett, owner of the New York
Herald, who made his home in
Paris, was greatly taken by the
talent of the gypsy player and
made it possible for him to ap-
pear at Paillard's, leading res
taurant of the Paris boulevards.
Bennett had only to appear in
the place for the grateful fiddler
to direct all of his attention to
the American newspaper owner.

about marriage until he finds
himself buying the bassinet-or,
if he thinks about it at all, it
is merely academically, as some"
thing that may happen to the
other fellow.
On the screen, Englishmen,
Latins and Swedes may make
the most effective lovers. But
only an American gentleman
can divorce his wife as tenderly
and gracefully as he courted her.
The honeymoon is over when
they can scrap comfortably
about almost anything, without
ending in a Big Scene-and
then go right on as though
nothing had happened.
Marriage is never much of
a gamble to a woman; she
does the best she can. It is
only men who leave it all to
Lady Luck.

Sicily
The majority of casual travel
ers who have visited Sicily ad-
nit knowing only Palermo,
Taormina and, Of course, Mt.
Etna; but they do not seem even
to have heard of such places
as Agrigento and Syracuse. or
the many other places in Sicily
that are of intense interest,
scenically or historically. There
isn't a hamlet in Sicily, in fact,
that isn't well worth call, even
if it does mean going out OF
ones way, for the beauty Of the
island really defies description.
Agrigento, or Girgento, was
originally the Greek city Of
Akragas, and later the wealthy
and prosperous Agrigentum.
Today. it is still a busy town,
with mining and the export of
sulphur as its main industries,
but it is for it's Greek remains
that the town is principally
visited.
Old Greek Temples
On a hill apart from the town
are wonderful Greek temples,
the best preserved being the
exquisitely beautiful Temple Of
Concord. To see these poems in
marble in the early spring, in
their setting of almond blossom,
is to carry away a view etched
in the memory forever. When

pine tree. That tree is probably
100 years old. It has thick
ridged bark, very beautiful.
and very necessary. That bark
has enabled the pine tree to
stay on its job through 100
years of sleet and sun, drought,
flood and blight. Without that
protective bark, the pine tree
would have perished as a sap
ling. But nature has decreed
that tender saplings MUST
GROW BARK. And so the tree
has been able to live on, doing
it's work. And today, I am
grateful fo it's cool shadow, and
scores of tiny creatures feed
upon it's bounty.
THAT TREE GOT TOUGH.
IT GOT TOUGH BECAUSE
TT HAD AN IMPORTANT JOB
TO PERFORM AND A GER
TAIN TOUGHNESS w AS
NEEDED TO PROTECT IT'S
VALUABLE MECHANISM.
If the tree could talk, would
it be whimpering because it
had to protect itself? Would
it go around sniffling because
life was full of danger and dis
comfort? Would it condemn
the whole forest because it
couldn't stay a tender sapling?
Silly questions-aren't they?
YET THAT is EXACTLY
WHAT MOST HUMANS SPEND
THEIR LIVES IN DOING!
We too, live in a forest
of folk. We. too, face drought,
\ frost, flood and blight. We,
too, I5art as saplings. AND
LIKE THE TREE WE, TOO,
MUST GROW BARK TO PRO-
TECT OUR VALU A B L E
MECHANISM. TO ENABLE
US TO STAY ON OUR JOB.
Growing bark. what does
that mean in a human? It
means exactly what it means
in a tree. growing a protec-
tive covering so you can work
at your job and keep the other
fellow from spelling it. "a pro-
tectivl covering of wit and
common sense. tolerance, un-
derstanding, good nature and
plenty of spunk.
Hothing unnatural in that.
Nothing cruel, selfish or un-
Christian. Merely a normal and
necessary procedure Will C h
every proud and sensible per-
son should perform as a mat
ter of course.
Then why don't we? Why
do we feel so mad and abused
because we have to protect our
own interests, even from those
who are nearest and dearest?
Is it because it's Noble To Live
Soft and Sappy? No, it isn't.
IT'S BECAUSE IT'S EASY.
WE DON'T WANT TO GET
TOUGH, NOT BEG AUSE
WE'RE so GOOD BUT BE-
CAUSE WE'RE so LAZY.
WE LIKE TO STAY SOFT,
NOT BECAUSE IT'S NOBLE
BUT BECAUSE IT'S EASY

FLABBY SPINES.
AND IT'S A LOT EASIER
TO BLAME THE OTHER
FELLOW FOR OUR MISFOR-
TUNES THAN 1T IS TO GET
BUSY OURSELVES.

And while they were happy,
the millions of old Capt. Eben
Ward, of Detroit, were dwin-
ding fast. Clara placed no
bounds on her generosity.
my Princess" said Rigo,
"built me white marble palace
on the Nile. An italian arch1-
tect designed the stables for
the 16 jet-black Arabian horses
she bought for me. No place
was ever lovelier than my
stables. They were fitted with
silver trimmings, and beautiful
to behold"
Clara came back to America
only once, shortly after the
outbreak of the World War,
when her mother was dying.
Back to Italy went Clara
Ward and nothing more was
heard of her until her death
in Padua, where she had been
living practically unknown.
But the castle on the Nile
had no walls strong enough to
hold the love of Clara Ward.
RIGGS fascination soon faded
and died. The waning of the
American princess affections
for the gypsy violinist was
accounted for by the disclosure
that she had fallen violently
in love with another. The
turbulent Clara, on a visit to
Vesuvius, saw and was cap
tured by the station master OF
the little railway running up
the side of the volcano.
