Travel and Vacation Section)
DR.. James Murray Washburn,
formerly a widely known north
side physician, retired number
of years ago to Lake Lure, in the
Western North Carolina mountain
region. Last Wednesday, back in
Chicago for brief visit, he show
ed a hundred of his cd friends,
gathered in the Tower room of
the Drake. a large selection of his
own color photographs Of scenes
and people in the Blue Ridge
mountains, demonstrating that in
lakes and woodland, and in color
and foliage, in all seasons Of the
year, the region is contender
among the worlds beauty spots.
Or. Washburn surprised his
friends with the statement that in
the Appalachian rangS in North
Carolina alone there are more
than 80 mountain ranges more
than 5000 feet high, and that
within the last few years the state
has spent S2OO.0OO.0OO on good
roads. He said that, as beauty
spot and as a place for motoring
and touring, North Carolina hith-
erto has been comparatively UNI
known, or at least unappreciated.

dered woman was found living in
Indiana, and Wilson was pardon
ed. He was given $4,000 by the
State as partial recompense for
his wrongful Imprisonment.
Another victim, ]. B. Brown, of
Florida, served IL years for a
murder of which he was finally
found entirely innocent. The
State gave him $2,492 in install
ments, or about $500 for each year
in prison.
Mississippi was not quite so
liberal with Moses Walker, who
served five years under false
charge, but awarded him $500
upon his release.
These payments by the states
concerned were made through the
passage of special bills by their
legislatures. Two states, North
Dakota and Wisconsin, have per-
manent laws pEoyiding compen4
sation for wrongful Imprisonment.
1t is hard to imagine anything
more tragic than the punishment
of an innocent person. When
such unhappily occurs, it seems
that compensation should be made
a fixed public policy in every
State. No money payment can
really compensate for the mental
and physical suffering experience
ed by the victim of false impris-
onment, but it would at least as
sist him in making a new start in
life.

Who Said 1t First?

Verify your quotations" is the
advice of someone, but the advice
is sometimes difficult to follow.
In the case of many famous say
ings it is hard to find out who
really said them first. There are
instances of striking phrases
which have been attributed to
prominent persons who had really
borrowed them from others.
For example, Lincoln's refer
ence to a government of the
people, by the people and for the
people" Almost identical words
were used by John Wycliffe in
the 18th century, and by Robe
sphere, Thomas Cooper, Joseph
Story, Daniel Webster and Theo-
dore Parker long before Lincoln
uttered them at Gettysburg.
Even the Golden Rule, which
nocent persons sufEer imprison-
Testament, was expressed by Con-
fucius five cnturies before Christ
and by other ancient teachers.
Perhaps the most catchy phrase
ever uttered by the late William
Jennings Bryan contained his
crown Of thorns and cross of
gold" metaphor. which is credited
with securing his nomination for
the presidency in 1896. 1t has
been and still is generally believ-
ed that the phrase was original
with Bryan, but the Congressional
Record shows that it was spoken

Call in a speech several months
before.
No one whose words have been
appropriated by another could
have shown better spirit to-
wards his imitator than Mccall
showed toward Bryan in this in
stance. When questioned about
it later, Mccall said:
Eyes, Bryan borrowed it from
one OF my congressional speeches.
And probably / stole it from
someone else"

Movies Raise Grade

Some interesting tests with a
view to determining the benefits
derived from supplementing ordi-
nary instruction by motion picture
films illustrating the subjects
taught have been made in San
Diego and other California cities.
In all more than 1000 children
were tested, each school being
divided into two groups, one of
which received both book and
film instruction, the other being
taught through text books only.
The tests covered period of 10
weeks at the end of which exami-
nations were held.
Students having the advantage
of motion pictures made grades
averaging 33 per cent. higher in
geography and Is per cent. higher
in general science subjects than
those who used books alone. This
experiment appears to have been
extensive enough to warrant the
conclusion that the combined
book picture method is highly ad.
vantageous in such subjects as
those mentioned.
Not only is this method bene.
fetal to the individual pupil, but
by reducing the number of fail.
ures in examinations, it reduces
the number of pupils who must
repeat courses, thus affecting a
saving in expenses for school pur.
poses.

False Imprisonment

In spite of the many legal safe
guards which surround those ac-
cused of crime, good many in
nocent persons suffer imprison-
ment and even leath, as the re-
suit of perjured or otherwise I'M
reliable evidence. A few In
stances are related by Margaret
w. Stewart of the Library of
Congress in a recent article.
There is the case of William
Wilson of Alabama, convicted in
1914 on the charge Of numbering
his wife and given a life sentence.
After he had served more than
three years the supposedly muir.

ChiIdren's Toys

Toys, they say, are the child's
tools. The child without toys is
like a workman without any i'm
plements of machinery of indus
try. No houses or automobiles
can be built without tools, and
the child will not build himself
a happy and growing life without
his toys.
There is such a thing as having
too many toys. Some lavish par
ents heap so many p1aythings on
a kid that his mind becomes sur
feited. He will play with one
only few minutes, when he dis
cards it and demands something
new. He is never satisfied and the
more you give him, the more he
demands. But not many children
are thus spoiled by excess Of
kindness.
The child of some poor family
who has no toys is to be pitied.
Nothing remains for him to do
but stand on the sidewalk and
watch for something to happen. A
fire is a godsend to him, and any
thing that creates excitement win
be welcomed. Such a kid is a

Christmas Clubs

For nearly year people all
over the country have been tuck
ing away sums of money in the
Christmas saving clubs, and these
amounts are about to be paid out.
These accumulations are a golden
stream of new wealth flowing in
to the channels of business, and
will give trade a boost that will
be felt for many weeks.
Money is said to burn a hole
through many pockets. No
matter how much money some
people have, they always see
things for which they want to
spend it. Then when the first
attach of sickness comes. they
have no reserve on which to draw.
It is said we need free spending
to create business prosperity, but
people who have nothing saved
up become a dead weight on the
community when the proverbial
rainy day falls on them.

ditions, Mr.. Kent for several years
searched the country for signers
of merit, sixty of whom he help
ed to a musical education, several
since becoming members of the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
But his most popular contribution
to music-loving America was thru
his Sunday night series of radio
concerts which, over period Of
several years, presented for the
first time the outstanding artists
of opera and concert stage, rails
ing radio broadcasting to the
highest plane in it's history.
The country needs more men
who, like Mr.. Kent, are willing to
put their money into such COM
mendable patriotic enterprises.

Thanksgiving

What is Thanksgiving Day? Is
it just turkey day, when people
enjoy a glorious feast? Or shall
we be able to look below the sur
face, and find something more in
it than that?
Thanksgiving day was original
ly the result of the feeling of the
forefathers that they had been
blessed, and they wanted to make
some recognition Of that fact. The
blessings that had come to them
would seem extremely meager to
us now. Back in 1921, the early
settlers at Plymouth colony had
suffered winter of the most ter
rible deprivation. There were
but 102 of them at the start and
in that awful first winter, A Of
that pitiful little band died from
exposure to the cold and lack of
wholesome food.
Those that remained, instead of
sitting down to repine their losses
and shiver with fear at the prob
able fate that awaited them, took
hold when the spring came with
a will and purpose to make good
in their new land. They were re-
warded with a good crop. Where
upon at the close of the harvest
season, they appointed the first
day of Thanksgiving, in gratitude
to God for his mercies.
Their outlook was poor enough
judged by our standards. They
did not know whether they could
live through another winter. They
knew perfectly well that they
had a season of severe cold to
meet in their primitive dwellings.
But cheered by good supply of
food they saw their greatest peril
had passed. With grateful hearts
they raised their psalms Of
Thanksgiving, and went ahead
into the unknown future with
cheer.
And here, in our thankless lives
if things go wrong, for a while,
we raise howl of pain and see
no cause for thankfulness. We,
of course, have had our troubles.
But even looking at our state in
its most unfavorable light. the
powers that rule the world have
been good to our country. Let us
too feel some sentiment of graft
tude.
