Sailing Glory Revived
by Recent Fast Voyage

To those who thrill at the sight of
sail. a four masted barque called
Parma is the newest heroine of the
seas. Parma won the Australian
grain race for the second successive
time, establishing a modern record
for sailing vessels on the course from
Australia to England. Her time was
SO days. 10 days longer than the all
time record for the distance. but six
days better than the best modern
mark. set by the grain ship MARI
borough Hill in 1921. The new mark
Is 20 days better than Parma's first
winning performance, and 1t gave
Parma nine days advantage over her
closest rival
The grain race has come down to
this generation as the greatest of the
few remaining reminders of the days
of wlnd-borne glory on the seas. Aus
tralia's vast wheat harvest is large
ly an export harvest. 1t goes to the
mills and the bakeshops of England,
of China, of Spain and of France.
To travel those distances and still to
provide any profit for the Austria
lians, it must be borne at the lowest
possible rate. For that reason, many
sailing ships bid for the business.
And out of the traditional sporting
spirit of the trade under canvas has
grown the annual grain race, with
masters of sailing vessels vying for
honOrs in the run from land to land,
Australia to England.

If the belief is widespread that the
world Is going mad, counter-evidence
Is furnished In quarter least to be
suspected-Russia.
That country has removed its ban
on children's classics and fairy tales
Robinson Crusoe" is first on the list
of nursery favorites to be reprinted
by the hundred thousand.
1t may be that this book will not
come from the press just as Defoe
wrote it, for it has an element of
piety that Soviet Russia does not
formally endorse.
Robert Lynd, of the News-Chron-
icle (London), finds it difficult to I'M
derstand how the Russian authori-
ties originally came to believe that
reading the nursery classics was like
ly to turn good Bolshevik children
into wicked reactionaries. He points
out that 'The Emperor's New
Clothes" is 'as sharp satire on the
ways of courtiers as any Communist
that the marriage of a poor man
with princess or poor girl with
king might be used as propaganda
for human equality. but ideas were
rushing too fast in one direction for
Soviet officials to see it that way.
He draws upon America for support:
1.-THE American Republic has sur
vived the perils implicit in fairy tales
for a century and a half without ever
having had to revise the stories so as
to make the beggar-maid marry the
president instead of the king and to
leave Cinderella living happily ever
after as the wife of the mayor of
New York"
Mr.. Lynd does the Russians jus
tice in saying that they have not
been the first people to suspect the
presence Of poison in nursery litera
ture. "There have been Puritans of
so stern cast that they looked on
fairy tales as frivolous lies which il
was dangerous to put into the hands
of children" 1t might also be added
that modern radicals have come near
the Puritan ideal by condemning
fairy tales for another reason-that
they give false ideals Of life.
Our early Puritans may have
known nothing of these stories and
so did not condemn them, but the
substitutes they offered are shown in
recent book by DR.. A. S. Rosen-
bach, early American Children's
Books" upon which Miss Carolyn
Wells offers this comment in the New
York American:

interest, because it convinces me of

THOUGHTFUL PATIENT

One winter night, when the ground
was covered with sleet and the rain
was freezing as it fell, the old doctor
received very late call from FAM
lily living away on the other side Of
the city. 1t was after one o'clock
when he left home, and his horse
this was in the old days-slid all the
way to the patients house, says the
Toronto Globe.
He got there about three o'clock
and found that a girl in the house
hold had severe cold. 1t was moth
ing dangerous.
'How long has she had it," asked
the doctor.
Three days." answered the mother.
"Why didn't you call me Ia the
daytime?" asked the doctor.
Then came the answer, which made
this the favorite story of the medical
society for many, many years.
1--WE are poor people, and we aren't
able to pay very much, so we thought
we would call you when you weren't
busy"
