LIGHT, ofNew York
By /. [. STEVENSON

Johnny Roventini. who is 43 inches
tall, celebrated his twenty-seventh
birthday recently. He received
many gifts because he has large
following. One, however, was of
special significance. 1t consisted
of life contract to appear on the
air programs of large cigarette
company. The amount involved was
not announced but it must have been
considerable since Johnny. before
the life contract, had an income
ample enough for him not only to
support himself but to act as the
principal support of his father,
mother, brothers and sisters, fam
lily Of 10 in all. When he first went
on the air he acted on occasions as
call boy at Park avenue and other
parties where a smart page was
held to be essential to the general
scenery. Now his paging is done
only before microphone. Outside
jobs are no longer necessary.
The part that Johnny plays on the
air is an easy one for him. AS
matter of fact, he spent some time
rehearsing for it. For his rehears-
ais, his pay consisted largely of
tips. AS a page boy at the New
Yorker he was going through the
Hobbies shouting "Call for Mr..
Smith" or something like that, and
an officer of a tobacco company
happened to see and hear him. He
fitted right into the picture in the
mind of the executive and was hired
without any formalities whatsoever.
So now his picture appears on
cigarette cartons and he's saving
up to retire. He has two hobbies,
hunting and ping-pong.
Despite the fact that news is
most perishable commodity, not in
frequently it travels long and cir
cuitous routes before it is pub
lished. In mind is a dispatch which
appeared in a New York morning
paper. II was written on the way
down the Yangtse river and was
filed for transmission by cable at
Shanghai. From Shanghai it trav-
eled to Manila and from Manila
to San francisco. From San Fran
cisco, it came to New York to the
syndicate whose correspondent filed
it. From New York, it went to
London where it appeared in the
Daily Mail. The London CORE
spondent of the New York Times
picked it up and sent it to his paper
where it was published. Incident
ally, it was received in New York
in the Times building and from
there sent to London.
That reminds me of Frank Sibley
Of Boston. Years ago, the steamer
Portsmouth went down off Cape
Cod. Newspaper men were sent
from Boston to cover the wreck
and above all to identify the YES
sci. From wreckage that came
ashore, they picked up good story
since the Portsmouth was an inn
portant steamer. But while they
were working, such blizzard came
up that wires went down and roads
were blocked. Bottled up, appar-
emily all the newspaper men could do
was wait for a chance to get back
to their offices. Sibley, however,
knew that the American terminal
of the French cable was at Orleans
a short distance away. He made
his way to the cable office and sent
a story to Paris with instructions
that it be cabled back to Boston.
Thus his paper scored notable
scoop.

Shadows
Every flower, even the fairest,
has it's shadow beneath it as it
swings in the sunlight.-Anon.
The Washington times., 1938-05-24

Mr.. BeneS looks down from his
hill on the dwellings of the
humble, quite in the manner of
the luxurious monarchS who
preceded him.
The royal castle Of Hradcany
is old Prague'S particular show
place. On the broad shallow
steps Of its wide doorway are
the footprints of the horses
that carried the servitorS to the
banquet hall Of the medieval
monarchS. A royal waiter Of
those dramatic days drove his
horse with one hand while he
carried aloft in the other a very
full platter Of food.
HRADCANY is really two cas-
IL ties. Excavations still go
ing on are revealing that with
in the rocky walls are the
walls of a still older castle Of
pure Gothic construction, dating
back to the early Ninth century.
Hunting for the older castle
the excavators also discovered
below the present surface Of the
streets q church.
Both old and new Prague are
definitely anti-Semitic. Not far
from Hradcany Castle is the
oldest Jewish burial grounds in
Europe. Thirty thousand Jews
were buried here within the
space Of a small city block after
an outrageous pogrom. The "a
nous golden crucifix which
stands ON the Charles Bridge in
Prague was bought by a Jew
after he had been tormented BY
Gentiles for his lack OF respect
to Christianity.

years ago. However, Interior
Secretary Ickes and Senator
Norris openly worked the sunny
side of the street with public
announcements for Martins sue
cessful opponent.
The official chatter here is
that this strange Set-up merely
represented q new method Of
not interfering in State prim-
aries. That is, they are supposed
to have adopted the can't-loSe
system of working both sides
Of the street just this once.
Officially they are to continue
the old non-interference policy
which will permit endorsement
of Barley in Kentucky, McAdoo
in California, opposition to
George in Georgia, Smith in
South Carolina, ETC., etc.
That may be, but the inside
on how Farley happened to be
for Martin sounds like a slightly
different story.
