NEW YORK, Aug. II. - Young
Larry Adler has accomplished with
the harmonica what the late George
Gershwin accomplished with jazz.
He took the mouth organ out OF
the alleys, as GershWin took jazz
out of the honky tonks, and made
it something to hear in the draw
ing rooms.
Adler, in his early 20's, accepted
an engagement to play for voyager5
on the first trip of big liner. He
decided to remain over in London
few days to see the sights. And
lust for a lark and something to
refer to-" he took a one night job
in a music hall
His success was astonishing and
literally broke up the show. The
management finally had to stop the
curtain calls. From then on his
bookings for private appearances in
Mayfair swamped him. He played
for many dinners that had royalty
as guests.
AfterWard he toured England at
the head of his own company, made
several movie shorts. and fulfilled
special engagements on the CONT
nent. Thus a stay intended to be
only a few days ended in one OF
several month5-With a nice fin
ancial pickup to boot.

The most perfectly groomed man
I ever saw was the late Jean Patou,
Paris dress maker. He went in for
blends of single colors. One that
struck me was ash gray-suit, hat,
stick, spats, shirt collar and even
gray cuff links. The only color re-
lief was a Burgundy red four in
hand and pinch of breast pocket
kerchief of that hue. I galloped to

Americans tempted by the delu-
sion that all this is the glorious
fulfillment of a great and wonder
full destiny should try to draw a
parallel in their own government.
Suppose our method of executive
succession brought a 17-year-old
youth to the presidents chair. Then
suppose the cabinet, borrowing pow
er to rule meanwhile, sent the boy
president out of the country for
a five-month preparatory course
before swearing him in with full
power.
Suppose, also, that two million
cheering people then iammed
Washington to greet the little fell
low as he rode triumphantly to
the White House down an avenue
festooned with lights, banners, and
flags.
1t is all too preposterous ever to
happen here. But the thought is
valuable 1t provides a refreshing
foil for our bubbles over minor de-
tails of the American form of gov
eminent. And is provides an effec-
tive tool for debating occasional
amateurs who gets ideas about
kingmaking on this side of the
Atlantic.

Staten Island seems to me New
York's forgotten suburb" Most
people think only of the ferry boats
that ply back and forth. In ways
it's one of sturdiest of metropolitan
residential areas. People own their
homes and are garden conscious.
Many printers live there along with
others engaged in the mechanics of
publishing. Staten Islanders are
rarely the suburbanites one sees in
the Broadway movies or theatres.
They like to get home from their
work and putter about in their
yards. They enjoy such old time
simplicities as horse shoe pitching.
And refuse to become "citified."

Charles LOftuS Shot in Leg as
 DogIsRGsCued
Boy Makes Five-hour Walk Back Home After
 Injury

Accidentally discharging his shot gun when knocking a porcupire from the dog in his charge, Charles Loftus, IA year old son of MT. and Mrs. J. B Loftus was brought to St. Ann's Hospital yesterday evening after five mile walk back the Lem on Creek trail for emergency aid.
 Charles, accompanied by May nard Wahlstrom. employee of the Harri Machine Shop, and Alfred Brown, 13 year old school boy, had been hiking out the Lemon Creek trail with Dec, dog of the R. E. Rob- ortsons. Dec had been placed under the care of J. B. Loftus, Territorial veterinarian, during the Robertson's absence.
 Earlier in the day, the dog had encountered a porcupine with ser ious results, and Charles was de- termined to prevent further diff culty when he found the dog attack ing a second opponent. Grasping the gun by the muzzle, he knocked at the porcupine with the stock. He had first made sure that the safety catch was on, but in the move to help the dog, the gun fired into his right leg.
 No serious results are expected from the accident, although two of the pellets were fired near the bone. and several were imbedded ill the flesh, tearing through muscles.
 The accident occurred at 2:30 p. m Sunday, but it was not until after 2 D. m that Charles was able to reach home. T would never have gotten home if it hadn't been for Maynard and Alfred" Charles said from his bed at St Ann's hos pital, this morning. Maynard made a tourniquet above the wounds and the two of them helped me back over the trail to the road. It was slow going, since in two or three places the trail was banked over by slides. After we reached the road, Maynard went for a car, and they brought me to the hospital" Charles expects to be in St. Anns hospital for about two weeks recovering from the gun wounds. He is feeling better today with knowledge that Dec will sustain no serious results from the quill injur- ies. Tt looked serious for a while, he said but all of the quills have been removed now, and Dec should be OK"
