AUGUST 10 IN HISTORY

Ferdinand Magellan, a cripple dis
charged from the service of the king
of his native Portugal as Useless, sail
ed on Aug. 10, 1919, from Seville, Spain
with a company of 80 in five ships
which had been declared unseaworthy.
A few weeks before, spy of Man
uel~of Portugal, described Magellan's
ship in a report as his master as very
old and patched up; for I saw them
when they were beached for repairs
-. 1 went on board them few times
and assure your highness I should be
ill-inclined to sail in them to the
Canaries."
Magellan's destination was the Spice
Islands, East Indies, but when the
only survivors of the expedition re-
turned-31 men in the ship Vittoria-
they had completed the first voyage
around the earth. Though Magellan
died before the circumnavigation was
completed, to him belongs the credit
for succeeding where Columbus had
failed, in linking western Europe
with eastern Asia by direct transit
over the Western Ocean.
Exactly 271 years later, the schoon-
err Column bla, attended by the SlOop
Washington, was back in Boston after
completing the first voyage around
the world under the American flag.
Of far more Importance than her cir
cumnavigation of the Earth was the
cargo and news she brought back.
They made her arrival one of the
most significant events in our history.
For on the trip Capt. Robert L.
Gray opened up western commerce
with China and established the great
days of New England-and u. S.
commerce and industry. The Column
bia and those who came after, sailed
to the Pacific Coast, traded trinkets
guns, cloth and rum to the Amerin-
dians for furs, crossed the ocean, bar
tered the furs in China for silks, spic-
es, chinaware and tea which brought
fancy prices in Europe and America.

Dear .Jimmy:
A radio comedian spends a lot Of
his life in hot water that can't he
turned off. His program can He faces
a constant battle to prevent listeners
from turning it off and he does it by
constantly turning on what he calls
, his charm, his comedy his sense of
shownmanship and the brain children
:: some of them orphans, of his gag
writer's.
/ The life of a comedian is very IA
miliar to you--as are his jokes. He
!! has his worries. He develops a long
face. He develops what he often calls
his writer's A comic hates to fire a
writer. No5ody has the trouble with
new writer's that a comedian. has.
! Every new writer brings in the old
jokes his old writers brought in and
! it takes months to sift the wheat from
the laugh. BY the time writer has
been with you long enough to forget
a lot Of old jokes he may think UP a
new one once in awhile. Then it is
hard to get the new joke into the pro-
gram because sometimes a program
director hasn't heard it before and
therefore doesn't think it is funny
There is a saying current in radio
| lanes that after a comedian has used
joke three times it becomes his pro-
clear title without any infringement
on the Joe Miller claims. Joe Miller
. wrote a joke book. Some comics think
| it is very thin because they don't
want to admit a lot of their stuff was
printed in it. Critics often credit so
much material to Joe Miller that the
only place for complete file of Joe
/ Miller's jokes would be Madison
| Square Garden, Somewhere between
the two extremes lies the truth. That
is if the truth ever lies.
A comedian has a certain sense Of
tragedy. He grows up, becomes sue
cessful and often goes home to find
his mother in tears. He asks why ant
she says, why, the whole country is
| laughing at my son. That is the only
time I've ever known a dutiful son to
be glad to see his mama weeping. The
trouble with most of us is that par
ent when told you are a comedian
says, What a business! And you
could have been life insurance sales
man if you had listened I. to your
uncle"
In the theatre a comedian could
use one joke for ten years and the
audiences always laughed.
A radio comedy needs new jokes
every week. But the supply is nevei
equal to the demand So the writer:
put what they .screamingly call
switch on it. A switch is where the
original story dealt with lion titin
a unicorn. So the writer changes the
old story so that the unicorn bites the
lion and wantsa raise in salary. The
switch could beSused literally to gooes
.advantage.,aA writer is a funny gink
and comedian IS as strong as hi. 4
weakest gfrii. The troub1esfs that yol
