It's in the Cards the money
That ColbyHTop roll in.
Red Cross Quota wide q na dni~e
for $125, 100000 is now on in full
swing and the Colby assignment
is to find just nip under $l3, 600, 900
in New York city for Americans on
all the fighting fronts.
Thirteen makes a lot of mill
lions, and more when they buy
blood plasma, not to count lesser
benefits, but Mr.. Colby goes aft
er them without blinking. Over
20-Odd years i'm an ascending
spiral that finally reached the
Craftsmanship of the board of
General Foods corporation, he
has learned to deal easily with
even millions.
They may fill his day, but come
evening they have small chance
against Lincolniana or, for lighter
hours, crossword puzzle.
Just the same he will probably
work day and night for the Red
Cross since the money is all for
the army and navy, and tradition
joins the Colby family with both
services.
Mr.. Colby, IS now and hand
s0mely gray, was a major I'm
that hitler World war although,
oddly, he was born at the Naval
Academy and was practically
raised ON sea water. His father
was Rear Admiral Chester nj.
Colby and his son, third to bear
the name, is in the Naval Air
service.
Fresh out of the army, Mr.. Colby
was mulling over three proffefed
jobs when a fortune teller said that
she saw him at the head of a big
food concern. He joined the old
Postum Cereal company shortly,
and deity pyramided that into Gen.
eral Foods.

If this happens, another professor,
bony C. X. Leith, may get chief
praise, or blame. He comes up now
to take the Penrose Medal for 'emi-
nent research in pure geology" but
he has been broadcasting the polit-
ical virtue of his subject for a quar-
ter of century.
As far back as 1919 at Paris
he was advisor to the American
Commission to Negotiate Peace,
and every word he let fall must
have packed political dynamite.
Next he said, and probably
wishes he hadn't, that lack Of
ore for steel permanently re-
moved Japan as world war
menace. Later he warned, more
wisely, that world peace was
sadly endangered by prOhibi-
tions against the free search for
minerals. These days, as advi-
sor to the administration i'm
Washington, he insists that by
controlling the worlds minerals
the democracies can control the
peace.
The professor is 81 years old. His
face in repose is severe, but his full
lips meet lightly as lips do that
smile easily. Born in Wisconsin, he
was graduated from the state uni
versity and has taught there for 40
years. His wife and sons COM
plete his family.

peace, nip Britain in race for
