LYCEUMS ON HOBBIES
Mr.. Rowland who has the hobby
Of collecting autographs from cele-
braties, gave us an interesting lee
ture on 1t. He now has 3,007 auto
graphs and he started in 1885. He
received his first autographs from
Lily Ponds. In the hobby of col
lecting autographs he says there
are three things that are important
and they are: courage, patience and
salesmanship; IL you do not have
at least two of these it would be
almost useless to try at this hobby.
He also told Of some interesting
hobbies that other people have such
as collecting barb wire fence and
collecting water in quart bottles
from lakes, seas, and oceans all
over the world. Oh and here is
an interesting point for anybody
who has to take care Of small bah
les or children. You can make
them stop crying by initiating their
cry at least that's what Mr.. Row
land told us in his lecture. He
found out while he was giving a
lecture in one of the high schools,
a girl came up and told him that
was her hobby and that it was very
successful and profitable. He also
pointed out the fact that hobbies
were useful in everyday life and
are of much value to anyone who
has them. A few of the celebra-
ties he has autographs from are:
Helen Kellar, Albert Ienstien, Pres
ident Roosevelt, Chief Justice
Hughes, Father Flanagan Of Boys
Town, and many of the famous
movie stars.
