He is the big-boned writer of sea
adventure stories who recently was
described by reviewer as one
writer of herman tales who hasn't
false hair on his chest.
He wrote this:
1.-THE above remark merely con-
firms me in my belief that my friend
Morley would make a pun under the
very gallows."
And in a Worcester gale of ink
marks he signed his name.
.TARVETH WELLS, the explorer
~ writer, signed his name and
drew cute little elephant under it,
as if to support it. Will James drew
a picture of himself, in western
dress, and Smoky, his horse, above
his name.
There are the signatures of Pad
raic Colum, Thornton Wilder, Kin
Hubbard, Meredith Nicholson, Har-
riett Monroe, editor of Poetry;
Henry Seidel Candy, editor of The
Saturday Review of Literature;
Honore Willsie Morrow, writer of
historical novels and the Lincoln
trilogy.
Hugh Walpole wrote his name and
a quotation no one can decipher, and
Gilbert Parker scrubbed something,
goodness knows what. Hugh Loft
ing drew a sketch of DR.. Doolittle-
pretty good, at that.
There are signatures of people
from England and Mexico and
France. Some of them are writer's,
some librarians and some notables
on tour. For most of them the
staff of the library gave a late aft
ernoon tea, after the very best lit
erary tradition.
TOAN LOWELL, the gal who wrote
~ a sea story that had the book
world in spin, wrote her name,
drew a picture of a small child in
pajamas and wrote:
st view the world from portfolio
at the age of four"
Research into her juvenile life
later failed to disclose any mari
time experiences.
iona Gale wrote, over her flow
ing signature:
Life is something more than
that which we believe it to be-"
She is remembered as gracious
guest, who took lemon in her tea.
Mrs. Minnie Madden Fiske wrote
an entirely illegible signature and
statement. Whenever any one is
looking over the book and a hurry
call, who is it?" goes out, secre-
tary to the librarian in another
room calls back, without moving
from her desk, Minnie Maddern
Fiske."
At the time she signed the book
Mrs. Fiske was waging one-lady
campaign against trapping fur
bearing animals. She wore only
cloth coats, and she was furiously
Jealous. Below her name, just as
illegibly, she wrote:
1.-THE trap must CO."
THEN there is the name, Clara
- Laughlin. Miss Laughlin wrote
those travel books entitled, $50
You're Going to Italy" 80 You're
Going to SPAIN etc.. etc.
When she was IN Indianapolis
she told Librarian Luther L. Dick
erson this story:
She was in Spain to write book
about that nation. She saw and
chattef. with King Alfonso. 1t was
such pleasant talk that Alfonso
subsequently did everything a mon
arch could do to make Miss Laugh
Inns way easier in his country. which
was plenty.
When she returned. she and her
publishers decided to do something
nice for the King. They printed
specially, and bound gorgeously,
volume of the Laughln book that
was just coming of the press.
They. sent it to him. but before
it could have arrived he had aboi-
Gated and fed to London. They
don't know whether he received it
or not.
1t would have been such help.

all sorts of money on the island,
the Hathaways never need it and

something they want they merely

BREAK UP THAT

Times change with new medical
discoveries and it's just too bad for
folks who don't keep up with the

Now here's one Of the worlds
most famous chemists and he gets
together the greatest agents for
breaking up chest colds that science
knows of-to this already good
combination he adds active Aspirin
and he calls this potent and per
fected remedy-ASPIRUB.
Now when you rub white, stainless,
antiSeptic ASpirub over your chest,
shoulders and throat-it penetrates
swiftly and deeply without burn or
blister-then watch that tight old chest
cold start to break up and get out.
You get double action with Aspirub
for while it penetrates thru the skin
the body heat throws off pleasant
soothing medicated vapor that you
breathe right directly over the affected
pa Aspirub is the only rub containing
Aspirin-it's protected by U. s.. Pat

allowed his stcpladdcr to fall

putting in the new pane amounted

Should the woman have deduct

from what she owed the man?
Yes and no. Yes, because it
would have served the man right
for his fooliShncss and careless
