ATLANTA, Feb. .21.-Life has
been anything but a breeze for
Margart Mitchell since she COM
pleted Gone With the Wind" 13
years ago.
Her sensationally successful first
novel turned her from a quiet
Georgia newspaper feature writer
into an internationally famous
figure.
Since 1896 her book has sold
about 5000, 900 copies in 40 coun-
tries and 80 different languages.
Only the Bible outsells her. And
today people of Georgia are much
more reconciled to that fact than
Margaret Mitchell herself.
II didn't start out to be an in
ternational lawyer-but I have
had to become one" said the
plump. blue-eyed creator OF Scar
let O'Hara and Rhett Butler.
Still Sells $4,000 q Year.
Today her novel is still selling
more than $4,000 copies a year in
America-and probably an equal
number overseas. And that is
what keeps her busy. For the duty
of checking carefully into foreign
sales of her novel has forced her
against her will to become a busi-
ness woman.
Those details were handled by
her husband, John Marsh. until he
was stricken with q heart ailment
three years ago. He is now re-
cuperating. And for that Mar
garet Mitchell says she is more
grateful than she is for all the
fame and fortune her novel has
brought her.
AS a matter of fact her world
renown has changed her not at
all. And she is particularly CRATE
full to her friends for not letting

or their heads.

A few days ago I visited the De-
partment of Justice. The people
on the tour went into a room to
wait for the guide. In the room
were many different guns used by
John Dillinger, the criminal. His
death mask was also displayed.
The guide told us he was in
training for special agent, and
one of his courses is public speak
ing. He then took us to another
room and showed us some pictures
of famous dead criminals, and told
us a story of some German spies.
He told us we were lucky be-
cause he could conduct us through
the laboratory. He pointed out
various operations including how
to identify blood, hair. poison, etc.
The last place he took us was to
a basement gun range, where a
special agent named Frees demon
strated some of the guns used by
the F.B.I. Among these were the
.38 caliber Thomson machine gun
and the AS caliber pistol. Agent
Frees said that the FB.I. never use

Through his hobby Of collecting
butterflies, moths and beetles,
Ralph Semsker, 1901 Argonne
place NV, has become well-in-
formed, amateur lepidoptefist.
Ralph began his collection about
6 years ago. while he was vaca-
tioning at Camp Deerwood. New
York. The many long field trips
with the traditional butterfly net
taught him much of the habits of
his quarry. The delicate job OF pre-
serving the insects has also been
natural and easy way of studying
these species.
In addition to his beetle collec-
ton, Ralph has over SO different
kinds of butterflies and moths.
Although Ralph does not intend
to make insect-collecting his life's
work, he does intend to follow this
avocation as it will provide life
time of interesting study and, rec
reation. ..s- ..-

Mars Has Patches
Which Change Color
With the Seasons

If there really are people on
Mars, they are able to see two
moons in the sky. The moons are
little things. not nearly so large
as the moon which goes around
the earth.
One of them, Phobos, Is 3,700
miles from Mars and has a di-
ameter of about 10 miles. 1t
makes three trips around the
planet every day.
The other moon, Deimos. is r.
500 miles from Mars and revolves
once in 80 hours. Its diameter
is only miles.
Mars has a diameter OF about
APIS miles, little more than half
as much as the earth. If we look
at the planet through a strong
telescope we may see patches
which are red or pink in color.
These do not change with the
seasons and probably are large
stretches of desert.
Other parts of Mars change
with the seasons. Sometimes they
have greenish color. which may
be due to trees, grass and bushes
photographs made with ultra
violet and infrared lights seem u
prove that Mars has air around 1t
to height of about 100 miles. In
the air are clouds something like
those around the earth.
Mars is believed to have a cold
climate. 1t is farther from the
sun than the earth is and the ali
around it seems to be thin. Thin
air cannot hold the suns heat
very we'll.
Scientists agree that Mars has
polar caps" These can be seer
clearly in photographs. They
keep changing in size as the sea-
sons roll by. At midwinter the
northern cap covers about 10000
square miles, but in summer ii
shrinks to about 500 square miles
The southern cap has nearly the
same size during winter, but in the
summer it cannot be seen at all

BY Philip h. Love

JuSC as carrier generations
learned to think and talk in terms
of automobiles, movies. airplanes
and radios. boys and girls of today
are beginning to think and talk
in terms Of television.
Television, in case you haven't
been properly introduced to it yet.
involves the use of channels, in
stead of the wave lengths familiar
to radio listeners. Well. the other
night, a friend of mine took her
small nephew to movie. But the
show bored him. and he said:
This pictures no good. Let
try another channel-maybe We
can get something better"
The movies were the thrilling
new thing in my early boyhood,
and the thoughts and conversation
of all my friends-myself includ-
ed, of course-had to do with what
was shown on the screen. AS
result, every boy wanted to be
like William S. Hart, Francis Ford
or Eddy Polo, and every girls ideal
was Pearl White. Mabel Normand
or Mary Pickford.
Just as boys nowadays can
glance skyward and announce
confidently, That's DC-6," or
whatever kind of plane it happens
to be, my generation could rattle
off the names of all the automo-
biles that whizzed by. One of my
proudest moments was when I
correctly identified Marmon

overcoats and topcoats were

"oil cans; boys and girls. thanks
to a famous Rudolph Valentino
movie, were "sheiks' and She
bas," respectively; others, under
the influence of the Wild West
movies. were cowboys and
"squaws";; girl whose popularity
brought her a lot of dates was

But I find myself equally up in

heard a boy refer to another as
"Berle" And when I asked what
was meant, I was told, with no
