Orpheum days. Charley's first
day was enlivened by being
charged by a rhino. That same
night their hut was surrounded
by wild elephants.
Well, "Simba" finally COM
pleted-not without many mis-
adventureS-we came back to
Broadway, OSa and I, showed
the film at the Earl Carroll
Theater - and again Africa
called. This time with Mr.. East
man, Osa and 1 went through
Europe into Egypt, up the Nile,
across the Congo, into Uganda,
where the kodak king shot his
white rhinO and monster eIe-
plant. 1t was during this expe-
ditiOn that we exchanged hunt
ing notes with Prince William
of Sweden and the Crown
Prince of Belgium-and in the
very heart Of the African jungle
we spent an afternoon chuckling
over Chic Sales "The Special
ist." And that recalled another
night 22 years back, when, with
Chic Sale, we wandered into
the room Of a Broadway hotel
to meet a very sick man lying
in bed, and listened to his tale
Of woe as he spoke of cancelled
vaudeville cOntractS-his needy
wife and children. Well, this
was the same fellow who only
last month was being doomed by
Oklahoma for the Democratic
presidential nomination - Will
Rogers! What a grand chap he
has turned out to be, and how
/ remember him telling me how
he envied my adventurous life
and hOV, ] told him, maybe
but his chances for a longer life
were better!
Well, I would go on along this
road Of memories, I suppose, for
hours-but turning back the pages
Of time, I like to remember
chiefly the wildcs tting days with
Osa playing the piano and sing
ing Hawaiian Songs-the capture
by cannibals and the rescue by a
British man-o'-war in the South
SeaS-escaping out Of Central
Borneo with an angry tribe Of
head-hunters at our heels - the
time Osa saved me from vicious
attacks by elephants, a rhino, sew
eral lions and the enraged gorillas
while we were making Congo

TTERE, at long last, is one whiskey
Ill that has Uthree important virtues
awhiskey should have new good taste,
definitely greater mildness, ightness and
digestibility.
William Jameson has succeeded in
combining all these three important vir-
tues in IRISH AMERICAN Whiskey.
Wetake rich, robust, imported pot still
whiskey and specially distilled, straight
Kentucky whiskey. With the utmost skill
and care we slowly merge these two fine
products. Through their union is created
IRISH AMERICAN, an absolutely differ
ent whiskey.
Tomanymen, thetasteo ofIRIsH AMER
ICAN is somewhat reminiscentof ex-
pensive imported whiskies. Others are
reminded of rare American whiskies, or
some other treasured liquors. Yet the
distinct IRISH AMERICAN flavor is not
quite like any other, and it is admired
and respected for its own sake.
So, too, the mildness of IRISH AMERI-
CAN is welcome. It is good to find a
whiskey with fully developed, COM
pletely rounded flavor, yet mild, mellow
and easy on the palate and system.

WINTER,ARRIVED TUESDAY
THE CALENDAR TELLS US
Has Shortest Day In Year For
Its Debut-Nine Hours

An old standby, winter, moved in
at 1:22 a. m. (E. S. T.) Tuesday, and
he'll be hanging around, welcome or
not, until March 21, at 1:43 a. m.
He'll have to be satisfied with nine
hours of daylight for his debut, for
it's the shortest day of the year, COM
pared to fifteen hours between sunrise
and sunset on the longest day of the
year, June %.
The astronomers announce the ar
rival of winter when "the sun enters
the sign of Capricorn and enters its
most southern declination."
Amateur weather prognosticators
who forecast, ad lib, the severity of
winter by the thickness of bark on
trees, the coat of fur-bearing ami
mails and the prevailing wind direc-
tion of the moment of equinoctial
change, got jolt from DR.. W. Reid
Blair, that nature doesn't give the tip
off on cold weather by provlIing ami
mails with heavier coats.
If the foraging is good IN the fall,
the fur is heavier; if it isr' t, the fur
is poor and the weather has nothing
to DO with it, he says.
Honors for pre-winter pc:specuity,
the director reports, go to the beaver.
They have been busy several days add
ing layers of mud and sticks to their
outdoor houses. They do i annually
at this time, even when the winter is
mild. though.
