Environment
Part of Novel

That the environment of Gene
Stratton.P Porter, famous author of
down-to-earth American novels,
played a large part in her hui
man stories and the formulating
of the backgrounds. is evidenced
by the consideration of her most
famous novels.
These novels are 1.-THE Girl of
the Limberlost" and 1.-THE Keeper
Of the Bees" Both of them have
been brought to the screen dur
ing the past year and Keeper Of
the Bees" the most recent to
reach the screen, is to be seen at
RKO Keith's Friday with Neil
Hamilton and Betty Furness in
the two leading roles.
"A Girl of the Limberlost" is
definitely the product of Mrs.
Porter's girlhood environment.
Keeper of the Bees" product
of the later era when Mrs. Porter
had moved to California, is
nodded against much different
background. This time, Mrs.
Porter, influenced by her new
surroundings, placed the scene Of
this epic drama in q peaceful
California SeacoaSt community.

During the making of the mo-
ton picture Sanders of the
River" it was necessary for the
director and his white assistants
to venture into the cannibal coun-
try of Africa.
Not only did they want scenes
of these savages but the director,
zoltan Korda, had the courage
to convert these fierce wild men
sufficiently to make actors of
them long enough for him to
film genuine tribal ceremonies.
This dangerous feat required d.
plomacy to the nth degree and
Korda afterwards said had he
given the subject much thought
in advance he would have been
too scared to accomplish the job.
However, he won them over with
gifts of salt, beads, soap, toys and
small penknives.
The result of the courage dis
played by this nervy crew of
picture men has enabled them
to turn out one of the finest jun
gle dramas yet produced. The

Stupid Thief
BY JOHN BLAKE.

MIR. SHAKESPEARE. who had
AA something to say about every
thing, wrote:
who steals my purse steals trash;
It's something. nothing;
Twas mine, It's his, and has been
slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good
name
Robs me of that which not enriches
And makes me poor indeed"
I happened to read that the other
day. Mr.. Shakespeare has provided
us with great deal Of wisdom.
Most Of 1t was borrowed, but so Is
practically all literature.
While was reading 1t occurred to
me that there are many kinds Of
thieves in literature, but none that
recall who descants on the idiocy
Of stealing from yourself. And that
Is very common crime.
The time stealer is a particularly
silly thief, for he robs himself. Sit
ting beside his window and watching
the world go by, he observes to him
self:
Look at all those people out there
going places, hunting fun. Why don
do that? ThereIl be plenty of time
in my young life to work. I guess
Evening star., 1935-11-21
III take o little time out and enjoy

I'll take o little time out and enjoy
myself"
If he doesn't dare go out. on ac-
count of the boss eye being fixed on
him. he merely slows up. And not
on his own time, but the boss.
No form of stealing Is legalized by
the law. But the silliest kind of time
stealing is that which a person is
likely to do whenever his wits go wool
gathering, and he just sits and sits
and waits and waits for quitting time.
Why does he do it? Because he
likes to loaf. But he can't afford to
loaf.
You will not get much experience
or wisdom out Of loafing. If you do
loaf, then when you get along In
years you will think painfully about
all that time you wasted and wonder
why the dickens you did it. Then it
will be too late.
Pull yourself together while you
can. Put all your energy into what
you are doing. Try to do little
more every day.
You can't make up the time you
lose, as can the engineer of railroad
train. You've just got to use that
time while it is going by. If you
don't, somebody who doesn't steal
time will take your job, and then
it will be just too bad.
All thievery is pretty terrible. But
stealing your own time is the worst
Of all.

Ability.

COME fifty years ago Francis Gal
- ton, nephew Of Charles Darwin
made one Of the first studies Of native
ability-it is still the best. At least,
that's what some believe.
The man whom Cation would call
"illustrious" is very rare. There's only
about one IN each million. That
means that there are only about 130
"illustrious" persons in the United
States. 1t would be interesting to
have q straw vote on this question:
Who are the 130 ''illustrious" people
in this country? Not all persons would
be qualified to vote on the question.
The voters themselves would have to
be q selected group.
Perhaps the only persons qualified
to vote on that question would be
what Cation called eminent" persons.
There are, according to his estimates
about $50 eminent" persons pei
million, or 32,500 in the United
States today. Those eminent" persons
have nowhere been listed. The cur
rent volume of who's Who in
America" contains about 81 900 bio
graphies. But it certainly cannot be
classed as an almanac OF the most
eminent" persons in America, even
though many persons believe it to be
such. No one has improved upon Gal
tons list of traits belonging to an
eminent" person. According to Gal
ton, the eminent" person must be
haunted and driven by an incessant
desire to follow intellectual pursuits

When the young grubs hatch, each

to write the story Of how he worked
his way from the nursery to the main
hallway Each youngster makes his
own tunnel at right sngies to the
main tunnel. At the end Of his trek
he makes a little room for himself IN
which to rest (pupate). When this
period is ended, out from under the
protecting bark he emerges, and his
own exit, together with those of his
brothers and sisters, gives to the tree
a "shot" appearance.
Should the family domiciled under
the bark be a very large one, and
girdle the tree, 1t is doomed. A tree
peppered with these holes soon be-
comes an easy target for the flying

be given to the busy ones and the tree

vast in number. You would hardly
think that little brown creature
would have the strength to bore its
way through tough bark and there
flourish on the sapwood of the help

There is, however, great strength
behind the short beak, and the en-

getting under cover as soon as posi-

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

(The American 1-cent piece h

III coins.)
The rugged little pennies,
The strongest coins there are
I'll make a bet
That never yet
Have they been under par.
They may not be pretentious,
Like hundred-dollar bills.
But they appear
Year after year
In many thousand tills.
When you pick up a penny
You know just what it's worth;
Afar and near
1t spreads its cheer
About the rolling earth.
You'll find it down In Rio,
In Bangkok and Japan.
And many cent
Is daily spent
In Yap and Hindustan.
Keep moving, sturdy penny,
But though afar you roam,
Through many a cline,
Come back some time
To see us folks at home;
To tell us of your travels
In distant spots, and then
Lock up the fiat,
Put on your hat
And start away again.
