The Rules Of GeorgeV V
by ANDRE MAUROH

Teach me 10 distinguish bsts0een sentiment
and sentimenlality, to esteew the first and
to desbise the second.
Sentiments are the sincere and spon-
taneous movements of our hearts. The
affection we feel for certain persons, the
pity inspired in US by the suffering of
others. are sentiments.
Sentimentality is certain self-oom-
plaisance in expressing sentiments, an af-
fected sensibility which very often hides
profound indifference, for true sentiment
is discreet, modest and often silent.
Sentiment enriches and strengthens the
soul; sentimentality impoverishes and
weakens it.
Teach me neser to accept and neser to
offer false praise.
We have a tendency to prefer those who
praise US to those who tell US the truth,
but it is not easy to make the most of
ourselves if we accept indulgence and flee
from severity. Our duty toward our friends
is never to discourage them by unreason-
able demands, but also never to deceive
them by false praise.
Finally. if I must suffer, may it be Hke
q Thoroughbred that goes away by himself
in order to suffer in silence.
Alfred de Vigny in a famous poem
C'The Death Of the Wolf) has described
the dignity of animals in the face of suf-
fering. Whether it be physical or moral
pain, it is useless to add to our own anguish
the pain caused to Others by our COM
plants.
In the course of his long illness King
George v steadfastly adhered to this rule
which he had set up for himself.
Such are the rules which l have before
me, printed on small piece of cardboard.
Copy them out yourselves and keep them
before your eyes. They are the sound and
tested formulas of wisdom.

-NGLAND will soon be celebrating the
- solemn coronation of King George
vi. But before leaving the field
free for the young King, wish to
say one more word about his father,
George V; for have just been given a
copy of the rules of life that he formulated
for himself and it seems to me that these
rules constitute very useful lesson for
young people.
Teach me TO obey the rules Of the game.
Naturally, in the eyes of the King, this
was more than just a maxim of sportsman
ship; it was commandment to observe
the rules of life.
Just as in tennis an honest player does
not cheat and call a ball out when it is
good, SO in friendship, in politics and in
love every decent man treats his adversary
with good faith and respects the rules Of
these great games.
Teach me neser to cry for the moon, neser
to cry over spilled milk.
These are two English proverbs. Spilled
milk represents our past actions and all
that is iEremediably over and done with.
Many men spend a great part of their
lives crying over this spilled milk. but
nothing is more useless.
Those alone are happy who, after a
disaster or disappointment, Immediately
turn their eyes forward toward the future,
intent not upon repairing the ireparable
but upon building anew what can still
be built.
Teach me to ,vtn if I can; if cannot
win, teach me TO be q good loser.
To be good loser is not simply to
accept defeat with courage, but likewise
not to blame the umpire, your opponent,
the ground or the weather.
The good loser blames no one but him
self, holds out his hand to his successful
rival and Immediately starts training for
return match.

1t all happened in a flash.
We were flying in fog so thick
we couldn't see and then there was
a Grassland a sudden silence.
I guess I was the only one who
wasn't hurt much.
Martin Johnson and his wife
were unconscious. They were prop
ped up in their seats and made no
move.
I thought that the co-pilot, the
stewardess and I were the only ones
who were able to move at all.
I noticed the Johnsons especially
because all along the flight it had
been the Johnsons in whom people
were interested. Everyone had
wanted to see them because they
had read their travel articles, Or
had seen their jungle pictures.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. Is. -(UP)-
Riding in the hooded pilot room Of
a 'lost" TWA skyliner. I flew thru
the same murky weather in which
a Western Air Express transport
crashed yesterday on a snow-crust-
ed peak in the Sierra Madres, 25
miles north from Los Angeles.
We were taking the plane blind"
over the same foggy area where
last month a big United Airliner
crashed, carrying a load of nine
passengers and the crew to their
death.

selves-had there been any way OF
seeing through the murk.
We crawled out Of the Douglas
at the airport and heard the re-
port that the other plane was
down somewhere near Newhan'
and within three hours I was
trudging up a narrow. slush-soak-
ed mountain road to reach the
crippled airbird.
1t was a dramatic coincidence
that was driven unpleasantly home
as we plodded around the last turn
in the white-coabad road.
The once-gleaming skyliner lay
fiat on the ground. its silver nose
crumpled against jutting rocks

Within the cockpit sat Lewis,

said. Take them out first"
And then he explained:

too much stuff from the ground

Three Of the II survivors, brought
down by wagon and truck from the
snow-covered ridge after lying in

are in serious condition
Worst fears were expressed for
E. E. Spencer, Chicago, president
of the Stromberg Electric Co, who
| lay in the Pasadena hospital with
fractures of both legs, one shoulder
and his skull. He was unconscious.
Pilot w. w. Lewis and Co pilot
c. T. Owens also were seriously
injured
Lewis suffered a compound leg
fracture. His nose was broken and
his face cut. The crash impact
iolted his head against the front Of
the cockpit. Doctors said they had
not completed examining Owens.
Physicians feared victims might
contract pneumonia from lying in
the cold for hours in the crashed
ship. The plane, coming from Salt
Lake City and the east, struck
shortly after II am. Rescuers were
unable to bring cut the last victims
until nearly midnight.

was hurt. There was no movement
from the Johnsons.
Other passengers were moaning
Otherwise the cabin was quiet
and orderly-it just seemed as if
somebody had pushed all the seats
up forward a little bit. The plane
was intact althouh one motor tore
off and rolled down a hill.
In the cockpit I found Co-pilot
Owens working at the radio. He
seemed half out Of his head.
Owens face was horribly mash
ed. He couldn't speak. All he
could do was to make motions with
his hands. I offered to broadcast
radio call for help, but he mo-
toned me that the radio was
broken.
Then the co-pilot came into the
rear part of the cabin and together
we smashed our way through a
window

COLD WAVE
HEADING FOR

Frost for Thursday morning and
more. cold weather is predicted by
Fred.A. Baughman, local meteorol-
ogist for the U. S. frost service, who
said that the storm off San Fran
cisco Wednesday has moved south
ward
Baughman advises those tomato
and squash growers who have any
of the crop remaining after the
past frost to place papers in front
of the plants as this procedure was
found most satisfactory. The ad-
ditional paper prevents the sun
from hitting the plants after frost
preventing the rapid thawing which
causes cell disintegration.
The past frost is the most severe
in the history of the valley since
the frost service was established
since the minimum temperatures
were of such long durations. The
lowest temperature on record is II
recorded in frost several years ago.

before the corpse was discovered.

Says D'Annunzio
Directed Theft
OF Noted Picture
Writer Says Italian by
Own Writings Involved
in Mona Lisa Affair
BY HAROLD ETTLlNGER
United Press Staff Coresnondent

PARIS. Oct. II. (UP).-Thcft
of the Mona Lisa, the worlds
most priceless painting, from a
wall of the Louvre museum 20
years ago was alleged by a
French writer yesterday to have
been engineered by Gabriel
D'Annunzio, ltaly'S eccentric sol
dicr-POct.
Charles Chase, writing in the
A.B.C. magazine, said the one
eyed poet "fell in love" with the
Mona Lisa'S tantalizing smile.
After two years, however, he was
said to have become bored with
her and to have surrendered the
treasure.
Chase said his allegations were
borne out by D'Annunlzio's own
admissions in writing.
The weekly paper "Cri de
Paris" took up Glasses accuSa-
tionS and recalled that. Il year be-
fore the theft, it warned of such
a robbery because the Louvre
conScrvator was "an cruditc but
impractical old gentleman who
failed to guard the art treasures
properly"
The Mona Lisa, by Leonard da
Ninci was stolen in 1911. A
worldwide search was carried on
until 1913 when it was found in
possession of an obscure work
man i'm Italy. NinCCnYO PCrrugia.
Perrugia, tried i'm Florence,
said he decided to steal the mas
terpiccc while he and other
workmen were placing a glass
cover over the painting. The
court. confident that rcrrugia
was only the dupc OF some master
crook, gave him only years
prison term.
at is in vain that the French
pretend to know the Italian smile
because they have Jacondc, that
Jacondc which | returned out of
safety and disgust, as many pco-
pie know but fear TO explain

whose many ardent love affairs
during Il half century involved
