he explained how his wife, also a
person Of distinction, learned tipping
and stenography to keep his script
flowing smoothly and legibly to the
publishers. He writes only in long
hand, said to be quite as cramped
and illegible as that of Horace

He was born Emile Herzog, in
Rouen. His literary divagation
was the first shortcut to immor-
tality in line Of ancestral wool
en- diapers eaching back to the
year 800 A. D. He was q bache-
lor Of arts at Is and q doctor Of
philosophy at Is. He began
work in his fathers factory, but
got right ON the job As philoso-
pher and literateur, so, when he
was assigned to the British as
an interpreter in the World war,
he could fill them in on Byron,
Shelley and Keats. "Ariel,
the Life Of Shelley" put him in
the big literary tournament in
1928, where he has been ever
since.
He is slight IN stature, dapper
and fastidious, with his thinning
gray hair deployed carefully left and
right, gesturing only cautiously with
the sensitive hands of an artist. He
has an acute, skeptical mind, in
terested in politics only in its his
toric sweep. He weighs words like
an apothecary and it is as crafts
man and finished wordsmith that he

keen insight, he has exported Amer

clocking us through the valley of
despond. His latest appraisal found
us moving out Of national Adde'S
cence into fully rational, adult state
hood.

gray, courteous Southerner-and
alertly adaptable to all new de-
vices of living. He is keenly in
terested in aviation, having
taken many airplane flights
along the Coast, and one on
the German dirigible linden
burg. The state departments
participation in international ar
rangements for landing fields
and the like has been in his
hand.
In congress from 1919 to 1880,
from Virginia, he was colleague of
Secretary Hull. President Roosevelt

the department.

On May 81, 1889, his father
sent him to the barn to turn
loose the horse, with the Johns
town food rising. He fioated
away ON the barn, his parents
drowned, and he kept on going
through Jefferson Medical col.

in his 50-year fight against dis
ease. Until 1914, he was with
the q. 8. marine health service,
then with the Rockefeller foun-
dalton. His fame blazed out
three years ago with his book,
"An American Doctors Odys.
sey," and later publications.
