If I did. I've seen too many Hor-
rible Examples in people who've
striven for such goals.
But If by success" you mean
an abundant life-a challenging,
colorful life-which will keep you
interested and interesting until
the end, then I can give you the
answer in three words:
KEEP LIFE DANGEROUS.
Why dangerous? Because that's
the only way to keep active. And
activity is the secret of growth
and constant growth is the basis
Of Big and Worthwhile Living.
BE ACTIVE
That's why comfort is such a
menace and pleasure such peril.
You'll never be really active, in
mind and soul as well as body, If
you're comfortable, contented or
safe, or "just having q good
time"
Human beings never reach their
greatest height when they're safe
when they can take things
easy" People get the most out Of
Life-and Life gets the most out
of people - when the going's
rough.
Pioneering life was never safe
or easy, yet there was more down
right fun in the days of '49-more
red hot drama-more passionate
pride in human life in one day
than there is in a year Of syn
thetic, modern living.
Your generation, youngster,
thinks that it's wild and reckless
and hardboiled because it can
drive an auto at 80 miles an hour
or do stunts In an airplane. But

through it all.
The great crypts Of Paris cover
about 1854 acres in all, under Belle
vile, part of Montmartre, and
most Of the southern part Of the
Latin Quarter, the Trocadero
section and AuteuIl. That, it hap

Of the city.
One remembers that in the
Deux Maggots they used to like
to sing that old English army
song: "Well drank one drink to
those already dead, and hurrah
for the next man who dieS!"
There are reports, less specific
than the above, that in various
other sections Of Europe catacombS
are being looked over and ap'
praised as possible bomb shelters

and doubtless there will be no
serious opposition to their use N

The 500 miles Of Roman cata-
combs, including the famous 16
miles of the vaults Of CaliXtuS,
came under the rule Of the Pope
in 1929. Sacred tradition and vast
archaeological interest have guarded
them in later centuries, but they
were ransacked by the GothS in
the Sixth Century and by the LON
bards in the Eighth. They date
from the Third Century, about 104
separate catacombs in all, the ref
uge and last resting place Of early
Christians, rich in carvings, relics
and entablature.
In the years from 366 to 3S4, the
great Damascus, THE Pope Of the
Catacombs," spent vast energy
and wealth in restoring and re
building the catacombs. They are
included among the Church's
great historic treasures. The huge
Nola catacombs, near Naples, and
those of Syracuse still await ex.
ploration. ..
