A Book a Day
Inside the Vatican With Q Reporter

Probably the strangest reporter. ial stint in the world is that of GOV. ering the papal court m Rome. IT the first place, the Pope Is seldom interviewed, and may never be asked questions. And in addition the news to be obtained is by It's very nature intricate an6 involved.
 Thomas B. Morgan, veteran United Press correspondent has covered the Vatican since 1921. Those i6 years have encompassed a wealth of history and Morgan has packed Q whale of story Into his book, Reporter at the papal Court" tLongmans. Green: $3).
 As sheer Journalistic writing, it's a grand effort. Actually its Q narrative of the reign Of Plus X1, beginning with the death of Rene. dict XIV. You go behind the scenes for the first time for that incompatible story of the election of Plus: how Cardinal Laurenti had previously efused this pow erful office; how Achilie Ratti, relatively obscure priest, had risen to the rank.
 No Pope In modern times has had more dramatic reign than Plus. Morgan recounts, again from the inside, the reconciliation of the Holy See with Italy, the subse- quent quarrel with Mussolini. And here too Is a closeup account of life in Vatican City from the coffee shop to St. Peters most sacred sanctums.
 If you've wondered about the importance of the Vatican as a focus of world news, you ought to read this book. It's probably the most intimate account of this vast institution that one is likely to see in Q long time.-p. c. F.

Selected Poem
THE RILL

AAA6 4SAAA oerley A. Gilmore, in the New Haven Journal Courier) A thread of water, A mountain Till, Hurrying, scurrying, Down the hill, Ever haStening Its course along, Singing a wild Discordant song, Tuning and fretting In curious acts, Tumbling headlong In cataracts; At last escaping Its mountain home, It flows along Subdued in tone; Thro' glades now winding. Oft playing pranks, It moves serenely Twixt petalled banks, And broadening onward By village and lea, A beautiful river It is to see. Its shores reecho The boatman's song. And prim-sailed ships Are borne along, Along. along Tn ecstasy And the little Till Is lost in the sea.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Nov. { - There were nights when Broadway lights flick cred off at the ynilkman's hour. The grey and black of the night crept over the Gay White Way after 3 Q. m. And the effulgent stem grew depressingly dark in the shadow of the giant signs and narquees.
 But those nights are gone, too, with the constant march Of the neons; and the running electrics that spell out messages all night, in praise of this product or that. These behemoths of electricity stay on these nights until all hours and the giant cabarets don't turn theirs of until near-dawn. Now when dray horses chatter along dark blocks, the main stem remains as bright as in the high hours of the evening.
 Signs of Popularity ..,. Y. '
 Broadway's signs, by the way, be. come bigger and better and more ingenious with each passing day. The novelty of Q complete ani- mated cartoon romping among the many bulbs of big sign, has worn of. Pedestrians now demand even more brilliant tricks. A little while ago, a genius of the mazdas con- trived to have live steam emanate from the electric coils in adver. tisement of @ film having to do with devils fire. These, in the par lance of their makers, are known as "Spectaculars."
 Probably the most highly illu- minated place on Broadway is the International Casino, with Q glit- tering array of electrics that runs halfway around the block and keeps pedestrians busy reading a continuous blurb about the place. A like sign on an opposite cor- ner gives lot of tropical informa- ton such as the weight of last years fullback on Notre Dame's team. along with a blurb about this whiskey or that. q
 Innumerable people who pass along the Main Stem and marvel at the free incandescent shows atop the buildings. write fan let- ters to the makers of the products they advertise. Douglas Leigh, who devises many of Broadway's most brilliant electric displays, gets at least a fourth as much fan mail as an average movie player. That, among the sign makers is 6 sign of true fame.
 And they tell the story, well- confirmed, of the Maharajah who strode Broadway one night and admired the electric sign that stood outstandingly on the other end of the Rialto. He admired it so much that he ordered a replica built in his Oriental palace. He turns 1t on now and then, they say, to startle and impress distinguished guests.

SANCTUARY FOR BIRDS.

Greensboro Daily News
Henderson's city council votes to
make the entire municipality of which
If is the governing body bird sane
tuary. This is not the first protection
thrown about feathered songsters-
and some of the wild life that can't
sing-but we believe Henderson can
claim priority of action as a COM
munity For this reason we could al
most wish that Henderson's corporate
limits were what one legislature OF
North Carolina through a slight typo
graphical error made them-1,0O
miles in every direction from the city
hall, or was it the Vance county court
house:
Not that we think all open season
might not be occasionally declared on
some of the filthier birds, such as
English sparrows, starlings and semi
domesticated pigeons; but real bird
sanctuary would include the state,
and regulation would be far simpler.
Really it is relatively easy in these
times to conserve wild life, anyhow.
Not so many lads seven and eight
wears of age are turned Loose with
% rifles and singie-barreled shotguns.
Too, either by reason of Boy Scout
ing or the improvement in children 5
books. we are growing race of males
who do not think they have to dis
patch everything they see wearing
fur or feathers. There are more hunt
ing licenses, more guns and more
hunters; but the number of shots fired
per capita from lethal weapons is pro-
bably smaller than at any time i'll the
states history.
Which, with the increasing density
of the population and the ease with
which it satisfies its desire to go
places, is as it should be.
Still, we are wondering what Hen
derson proposes to do about cats err

ONCE UPON OCT. IL

ONCE O1OXN OO1s
All present day religions have alb
sorbed some of the teachings of Con-
fucius, whose birthdate is calculated
from some of the oldest existing writ
ten chronicles in the world, as Oct.
II, 551 B. c. Billions have embraced
the whole body of his teachings
through the ages, and today Con-
fucianism has at least 100000 act
i've adherents in the East. Although
not a State religion in republican
China, as it was in monarchial days,
it is the recognized basis of the ethi-
cal teaching in national education.
Most founders became martyrs to
their faiths before their religions be-
came mass movements. Confucius, a
government clerk in his youth, attract
ed thousands of devout admirers in
his lifetime.
Today, his teachings seem as alive,
and as applicable to men and women
of these times, as when he first be-
spoke them. Examples:
How can a man do his work prop
erly with a scheming colleague along
side of him itching to get his job?
Youth should be respected. Nobody
knows what tomorrow may produce.
A man of so who hasn't carved his
name somewhere had better pack up
his chisel.
The qualification of a teacher is
to keep the old fires of knowledge
burning by adding new fuel.
Too much government throws a
country into confusion.
Men are very much alike at birth.
II is their way of living that makes
them different.

owes goodness as much as he loves
