 It turns out now that the scientific twin hates school likes to play rather than study and gets marks only little better than average.

OFF TO SURVEY
LATIN AMERICA
NeWSman to Probe
Nazi InroadS
by ]. C. OESTREICHER

NEW YORK, Jan. S G.N.SJ.
Bound on an exploration" trip of
almost $4,000 miles to study at
first hand the countries of Latin
America and their future role in
world history, H. R. Knicker-
booker, the noted foreign cores
pondent of International News
Service, had begun an assignment
which he feels will be "the most
important Of my career"
Arriving in Mexico City on the
first leg Of a Swing round the
Americas" that will embrace every
country and every major city of
our neighbors to the south, the
Pulitzer Prize winning correspon-
dent mapped a searching and ex-
haustive survey of the New World
that has just pledged solidarity
against the expansionist aims of
European dictators.
TOUR ALL-EMBRACING
From Mexico, Knickerbocker
will go on down through the COM
paratively little-known republics
of Central America, across the
1SthnluS Of Panama, down the
west coast of South America tn
Santiago and thence across the
Andes.
Buenos Aires and Montevideo
will be focal points of his survey
and he will then work his way
northWard through Santos, Sac
Paolo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
venturing along the way into lit
tle-known spots and onto little
raveled highways, swinging
;orth through the GuianaS and
'enezuela and finally the islands
Of the Caribbean before returning
to the United States.
HOLD KEY TO FUTURE
"The future course of world
history" Knickerbocker said be-
fore leaving on his long jour-
ney, will be charted in the
Americas.
THAT the dictators of Eu-
rope are casting longing eyes
on the rich natural resources
and great outlets for export
that abound in Central and
South America now goes with
out saying.
"The full extent of Nazi and
Fascist penetration, by propa-
ganda and by economic means,
is not yet known. That is one
OF the things I shall endeavour
to discover.

AMY CLOVER WINNER OF

Right here in Tulsa we have one
of the greatest contest winners in
the country. Mrs. Simeon Glover
spends all her spare time entering
contests advertised in magazines
and over the air and during period
of twelve months she won around
$1,000. she won two cars that
year and a Frigidaire and countless
small cash prizes. last night she
got the following telegram from the
advertising manager of a large con-

learned: the contestant who always
seemed to be lucky proved to be the
one who worked, who failed and
failed-to win! In contesting-as
in life-those to whom nothing
seems impossible are quite often the
ones termed lucky But there is
nothing accidental about it. Luck
does not just happen. There is al
ways something silently important
behind it. Usually it's the desire in
ones heart, the determination in
ones mind-and the combination of
long and persistent hard work.
Things do not come to one merely
by wishing or by waiting for some
thing to happen. It's work that
makes things happen, and it's work
that makes luck. The more you pay
for thing the better it is, as rule.
It's the same with success in con-
testing; the more you pay for it in
thinking, in work, and in many a
failure-the better that success
serves YOU For one contestant to
whom luck actually just happens,
there are thousands to whom it
came because they made luck hap
pen. You can will to be lucky
but put work behind that will.
thanks for some very good advice,
Mrs Glover, and congratulations on
your fine success.
