Oldest National FIaq

The Danish Royal Standard is
said to be the oldest national flag
in existence. The white cross on
a red ground of the Dannebrog is
additionally ascribed to a vision
seen in the sky by Valdemar the
Victorious when leading the Dan
ish army against the Estonians
near RevaI in 1919.
According to one version of the
legend the blood-red flag fell from
heaven into the Danish ranks.
There seems little doubt that the
emblem actually was adopted
about the date of the battle and
that it originally had the religious
associations ascribed to most ma
tional standards in medieval
times.

Scientific War Curve.

QUT, when it comes to prophecy
- ing, here's Professor Pitirim A.
Sorokin of Harvard, also in the
news, who has maintained that
neither man nor nation can lift
the veil beyond today or tomorrow.
AS the head of the Harvard de-
partn1ent of sociology, he says
great deal Of sociology is hokum or
Just Clerical exercise"
Currently, he catches national at
tention with his report on wars. The
first quarter Of this century, he
finds, was the "bloodiest period in
all history" Supplementing re-
searches which he conducted in 1888
with General N. N. Golovin, he Of

covering 902 wars from the year
500 B. c.. The World war was eight
times bigger than all the rest rolled

Professor S0r0kin is no merely
b0okish student of wars. In the
kick-back of war, he was Jailed,
sentenced, and awaiting the firing
squad. That was in Russia, where
he had opposed the Bolsheviks.
Previously he had been arrested
once for being too conservative and
once for being too radical. Lenin
saved his life ON condition that he
leave the country. He came here in
1923, joined the Harvard faculty.
and in 1880 became an American
citizen.
Looking over the Marian box

Prophet Who Predicted u. s.
Trailer Craze. .

Trailer Craze.
NEW YORK. The report
J = ers gave due attention
to Aldous Huxley when he
came in from England re-
Gently, but they overlooked
his interesting companion,
Gerald Heard, British au-
thor, critic and broadcaster.
Mr.. Heard is a prophet and phil
osopher, which isn't hot news per-
haps, but the ship news men prob
ably would have run him down had:
they recalled that, in 1923, he quite
definitely predicted the trailer
craze.
He has an uncanny way of putting
two and two together-n0t necessar-
lily house and an automobile
which has made him a star of both
the British broadcasting and fore
casting companies, so to speak. His
fortnightly radio program, s"This
Surprising World" has long been
an important feature.
The Huxley-Heard team, in step
here on an important enterprise, is
not impelled by the European prop
uganda surge. They expect to go
about quietly, and the fact is it would
take a man like the late William
James to report their mission prop
erly. After a trip west, they will
check at Duke university on those
startling experiments and findings
in telepathy which have been the
sensation Of the year among psy-
biologists.
This writer has read the Duke
data and conclusions. They cinch
up the fact Of telepathy to a degree
which makes a correspondent hope
he will soon be able just to think
his stuff, with nobody paying wire
tolls, and no wear and tear on the
typewriter.
MIR. Heard is not identified with
fuzzy pseudo-science, and it is as
an intellectual and not as a mystic
that he does his prophesying. He
is rated in England as one of the
most important liaisons between
science and psychology. and it is
with the reserve of the scientist that
he has examined psychic phenom-
ena.
In his numerous books, he has
traced a continuing pattern Of psy-
Geological, not physiological, evolu-

Eddie Had To
Borrow Pants
For First Show
By GEORGE ROSS

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-Broad-
way this year is paying tribute to
one of it's favorite sons, Eddie
Cantor on the bulge-eye comcdi-
ans 25th anniversary as a profess
sional entertainer.
Cantor-and at least one other
eminent figure in the entertain
ment world today-will remem-
Der, however, that this anniVcr-
sary doesn't really commemorate
the Cantor debut, which happen
ed several years earlier under
conditions which aren't generally
known and which make a good
story.
The occasion was an amateur
show on Gotham's East Side, and
Eddie. was a volunteer performer.
One thing troubled him ahead of
time. He was in short pants and
hadn't dad or any brothers to
borrow from. He thought he'd go
over bigger Qiterally) if he wore
long pants
SO he propositioned one of
his pals. Lend me your pants"
he said, land if | win I'll give
you half the prize"
His friend took the gamble and
Eddie won.
Today that friend would give
not only his pants but his SHIRT
to, have Eddie working for him.
The friend is Z. p. SchuNberg,
prominent executive Of a com
pany which is a big competitor
of Eddie'S cinema entcrPrencuf.
