ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
BY

Elmo Scott W atson
An American Spahi

LEW Americans have ever heard
OF MariuS Van de Weghe. He
stays pretty close to his tallow and
cauStics, test tubes and chemicals
and other scientific apparatus in his
laboratory at a soap company in
Chicago.
You wouldn't suspect that Marius,
a young man of less than 40 years,
is an Ouissam Alaouite Cherifien.
But that is what you are when the
Sultan of Morocco gives you med
al and says that's what you are.
Because Van de Weghe, while
soldier in Morocco. displayed un-
usual bravery under fire. the sultan
knighted him. Van de Weghe was
a spahi in the Moroccan army right
after the World war. A spahi is a
cavalryman. During a fierce en-
gagement with rebel natives, Van
de Weghe rode back two miles into
enemy territory to bring back the
body of his slain commanding Off
Ger.
The kind of men the soldiers were
fighting were those who tortured
their live captives and mutilated
those who were killed. Van de
Weghe's heroism prevented the ma
tives from burying the body OF his
commander with his head protrud-
ing to be eaten by insects.
But there is nothing of the hero in
Van de Weghe's present demeanor.
now that he is an American citizen
and the head of family. When
ever anyone expresses amazement
that he would risk his life to re-
trieve dead body he adds his own
amazement, stating that neither can
he understand how he happened to
do it.

Bigamy is not confined to the
act of marrying one person when
already legally married to anoth-
er. Under the penal law of New
York state, an unmarried person
commits bigamy when he or she
knowingly marries another to
whom marriage is legally prohib-
tied, a crime which is punishable
by Imprisonment for not more
than five years, or a fine of not
more than $1,000, or both.-Col-

derness. From the right came the
charge that they just let the young
sterS fool around with toys and tools,
without rubbing in any real educa-
ton.
Here's a field goal for the other
side. At the somewhat ultra Foun-
tain Valley. progressive school of
Colorado Springs. the boy David
Hare. scion of highly placed New
York family. was given carte
blanche to build his education
around a 81 camera The idea, as
In ell progressive schools of those
few years back. was to give the
green light to any creative impulse.
But. at %. here is Mr.. Hare
with New York exhibit of cam
era portraiture, with President
Roosevelt among his subjects,
and with famous artists and
photographers, including Arnold
Genthe, cheering him as the
Leonardo da Vinci of the CAM
era" Specifically, they agree
that young Mr.. Hare has proved
indisputably that the camera not
only may be, but now is an in
strument of the highest artistic
expression, and that he demon
strates an absolutely new meth
cd and medium of color pOr-
trait photography.
His three-lens camera allows the
superimposing of color images, in
the ~manner Of the color printing
process, and makes possible shad-
ing and emphasis in the service Of
mood. His is the first and only color
portrait exhibit in the country. Art
lists and prominent society folk are
boiling with enthusiasm over Mr..
Hare's achievement.
He is a tall, shy, persOnable
young man, somewhat inarticu-
late, as he filters life through
iens, and hesitant in any other
form of expression. As was the
young Lindbergh. There is the
same I'VE" combination here.
Whether he knows the preposi-
tions used with the ablative or
whether he stumbled across the
