He created nationwide fu-

was the sixty-seventh man to
make a nonstop flight across the
Atlantic Ocean. People rose up
in indignation and demanded
that he retract his impudent and
and insulting lie.
But Ripley pointed out that
Brown and Alcock had flown
across the Atlantic years before
Lindbergh was ever heard Of
and so did the English dirigible
RIA with thirty one men aboard;
and so did the German dirigible

Lindbergh was really the sixty

at least a million letters a year;
and in one year he got three mil

eight thousand letters a day or
twenty-eight letters while you
are reading this one sentence.
He has received letters without
any name at all on the enve-

Post Office delivered them to
Robert L. Ripley!
Ripley makes a living by max
ing people gasp. He made me
gasp once when he showed me a
letter written on a piece of HUI
man skin; and he made me gasp
when he showed me a message
that man had written him on
single human hair. I couldn't
believe it until I put the hair I'M
der a microscope and then I rad
the message just as plainly as if
it had been written on piece
of paper. It said, ''The finest
welcome in the world to Robrt
L. Ripley"
The story of Ripley's own life
is almost as incredible as his
cartoons.
Ripley was fired" from the
first three newspapers on which
he worked; yet he is making
more money today than are the
men who own the newspapers
that fired" him.
Ripley never studied drawing;
yet he is the most widely initial
ed castoonist in the world.
Bob Ripley has always been in

wrote a book on Handball, and
anothr on Boxing, and he start

he broke his arm while pitching:
