now on the word of two men of

anything at all to do with the live
illness of the processes that go on
inside the think-tank.
The two daring investigators in
terviewed 600 plain and fhncy
girl students at the University of
California, and came UP with the
following findings: that the beaute-
Gus ones weren't as apt to cop good
grades as their less fetching sisters,
BUT that the reason wasn't dumb
ness, but popularity. The plain girls
had plenty of time to concen-
trate on their studies; the beauti-
full girls were forced to do their
on the fly, between ses-
Sions of attending to more impor-
tant matters, such as dates, dances,
drives in the country.

MOST PUBLIC SERVANTS
SERVE HONESTLY

In the news last week was a New
York state senator who committed sui
eide few hours before he was to have
appeared before a grand jury investi-
eating graft in connection with taxi
cab racket. Two days before his death
the senator had failed to obtain a S25.-
600 loan from politicians associated
with him, and a few days before that
he had borrowed $4,000 in an attempt
to pay back persons from whom he had
accepted money for liquor licenses and
worlds fair concessions.
In a way it is fortunate that such
cases draw widespread interest. because
they accent dishonesty in public office.
Yet if no attention were paid to them,
there would be more INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons in public office than there are.
Recognizing the value of public scrutiny
in cases of dishonesty in public office,
we nevertheless believe the fact should
be stressed that most public officials
are entirely honest. We cannot judge
the majority by such isolated cases as
that in New York
As long as there is politics. there will

some of it questionable in character.
and some of it downright dishonest. For
this reason, if for no other, honesty in
public office should be recognized and
rewarded by public acclaim. just as dis
honesty is held up to public scorn.
To our public servants who are en-
tirely hOnest-and there are a lot of
them-we owe more than a mere nod
in passing.

all Europe.
Present British diplomatic efforts
as regards Germany go back to the
beginning of this year when Sir
Neville Henderson British ambassa-

Ribbentrop, German foreign min

The seizure of Austria by Germany
and the Czechoslovak crisis of May

completely.
Britain and Germany were drawn
farther apart than every before.
Britain reluctantly strengthened
her alliance with France. Her lead

An unexpected gesture in the In

HIS LAST YEARS
WERE NOT HAPPY

Samuel insult was buried Saturday
IN England. Beside the grave stood only
his widow and a few members of his
family. 1t was a thing to evoke pity,
that service for a man once one of the
worlds most powerful figures.
Insults last days were spent in trag-
edy. A fugitive, hunted throughout the
world, he had found sanctuary, but not
happiness. He had atoned in misery
for the sorrow he caused others whose
savings he wasted
insult through wealth and power,
had the opportunity to bring cheer and
happiness TO others. Many of us, in
minor degree, can learn a lesson taught
when insult neglected that great oppor-
tunity. Had he taken it, his last years
would have been far different.

HUGHES, MAGELLAN
AND THE GLOBE
(OrOViIIe MercurV)

NOIoNlllC AItIOulA
BY coincidence we were reading a
new book about Magellan, the man who
first sailed around the world. while
Howard Hughes was making his record
breaking flight. Without ddtracting
any from Hughes feat. it is timely TO
set down the nature of the first circum-
navigation of the globe begun 433 wears
ago
To begin with, Hughes, starting from
New York, never again got far north in
his flight. Magellan, starting at about
the same latitude, crossed back and
forth over the equator in his immeasur-
ably longer journey.
Hughes was gone little more than 3
days. Magellan consumed nearly 3
Years. Magellan started out with about
go men and ships. He returned with
- men and one ship, the S5-ton Victoria.

MagellanS feat, hardly spectacular as
we view 1t today. was of the utmost dar-
ing, for he travelled uncharted seas, was
the very first to do it. and went at such
risk to his life that the odds were heavi-
ly against his return.
Magellan'S voyage was freighted with
vast import to world Just emerging
from the dark ages. 1t advanced the
cause of civilization immeasurabIv.
Hughes voyage is chiefly remarkable
for its speed
Nothing written here should lessen
the praise of anyone for the courage of
Hughes of his crew. This merely is in
order that we may have bit of perspec-
tive concerning these trips round the
world and not forget the pioneer. whose
Journey opened new channels of trade
and blazed the way for colonists destin-
ed TO found new nations and lead the
world to new eras of enlightenment.

One day a delegation from the
church came and admonished the
parents to take the boy in hand be-
fore he got beyond control.
As the other boys idled away
their time, this boy went to the
river and set traps for the great
wading birds and for the animals
that frequented the banks. Nothing
could check what the neighbors
called his crazy fooliShness." BY
the time he was twelve years old,
he had collected, stuffed and
mounted 1,200 specimens.
At that time the museums of the
world stuffed their specimens with
straw. But the straw wasn't salts
factory 1t dried, the bird sagged
and Topped over, and began to look
like Welch rabbit nightmares.
But the boy didn't know how the
great muesums of the world work
ed. SO he used what he had at hand
mud. This boy began to develop
traits that make for succesS-ori-
ginality and initiative.
AS he grew older he made pic
lures Of the birds and animals in
their natural habitat. then mounted
them against this background. In
all the world this had never been
done before
If you will go into a large mu-
scum today you viii see animals
stuffed to look as if they we're ac-
tually alive. This was made possible
by the boy who didn't know how
other people did a thing and who
went about it his own way.
But George Grey Barnard did
not stop here He worked out his
