I — When my eye was casually at ! traded to one of Ripley’s “Believs ; It or Not" items in September o. ■ 1931, 1 could not have dreamec that three years iat.er I should b< conversing in a Spanish eabafei with the principal of that item. Charles Zimmy holds the world'! ! swimming endurance record foi J 100 consecutive hours in a Hono : lulu tank, in July, 1931, and “Kip' considered that good enough tc come up to his standard as a fac! inclined to be disputed by thf average human being. For Zimmy ha.s no legs. The most amazing personality ] have ever met, the energy thai went into making this man's lowe; legs function seems to have beer diverted to his brain and made ol that a human dyriamo who’s sparks magnetize every individua with whom it comes in contact. The Tip That Binds We were first drawn together by the tie that binds all English speaking peoples in a foreign land I was held by the pungent wit, the sound philosophy, the host of anec dotes and that electrical some thing about the man. For three hours Charles; Zimmy riveted mj attention, while dancing girls swayed before us, unnoticed by myself. Zimmy, although Russian born spent but one year of his colorful life in that country. He was nine years old, just a healthy, tough youngster in Chicago when he | jumped the wrong way under a street car. The hospital released him as a legless trunk and an ob ject for compassion. Things must have looked pretty black to the boy at that time. Thrown Into Tool Two years later Charles Zimmy was thrown into a pool by his comrades and learned to swim in the old-fashioned way. As a lad of 3 8, seeking' a suitable profession, he saw Annette Kellerman’s act, and his choice was made. He is | now 42 and can look back upon j 24 years as a public attraction throughout the world. Twenty-two times he has motored himself across America by devious routes. He has played the tank towns l pun) and the metropoli from Maine to California and from Sing apore to Sevilla. “I ain't never had much school ing,” he said, “but I've been around, and let me tell you, when my kids get to be your age I’m going to see that they do a lot of traveling." Oh, yes, Zimmy has been married. Twice, in fact. His two children, a boy 16, and a girl 14 years old, live in Long Beach, California, and see their father possibly two weeks every year. The Hair of a Zulu As is usual in such circum stances, one is prone to speculate upon Zimmy's probable position had he been enabled to keep his legs, and as usual one meets a blank wall. He has a fine, capable head, that would look very well behind an executive desk. Indeed, my companion at the time we met Zimmy, commented that with such a head, a man could accomplish anything he set out to do. It's a solid, compact, prominently-boned piece of work with a crop of brown, fuzzy hair like a Zulu's sticking up from the straight broad forehead. His face is brown and tough, the eyes are deep-set, keen and grey and surrounded by tiny wrinkles on the many occa sions when he grins. He has a staccato, easily-understood, deep chested voice, and when he talks, Zimmy leans toward you. grasps a lapel or an arm and holds you physically as well as mentally. A big cigar glows continuously be tween his firm lips. The chin looks just like the rock of Gibraltar. Onn rubucity iyrut The "legless wonder" is his own publicity agent and a master at the business. His show consists of high diving, eating and smoking under water, various supplement ary novelties, and where a large tank is available, running a motion picture- film of his stunts. His time under water is four minutes. 17 seconds, but he doesn't know whether that is a record or not. Concerning his Honolulu endur ani c feat. Zimmy is very modest. "That ain't nothing." he affirms "1 can break that any time. When I do it will be only a few hours though, t can work more publicity out of it that way. There’s no use going tlie limit all in one bust. see. when 1 can get a story every time l raise the ante."

His system of working can he demonstrated by his plans for the city of Malaga. Recently, a law was passed here prohibiting beg gars from soliciting in the streets. Zimrny has got through to the governor and is promoting a series of charity performances, sanc tioned by the officials of state, with the reservation that he make a little cash from the deal too. “They go great for that stuff in Japan, he says. "I give a certain percentage to some public cause and you should see thfe customers flock in. For that matter, the East is always better than Europe. Here, they have an overflow of attractions and it's difficult to get the crowds.” (To be concluded tomorrow.) Anything Goes j. By Dick Watkins — - CINEMA Just how much is in this little tax fight now going cr. between the Hollywood studios md the Calif, legislature, we don’t know, but we do know that the studios are to all intent and pur pose, seriously considering moving to more hospitable climes should the cards go against them . . . cither that, err they are doing a darn good job of bluffing, presum ably the latter, when one stops to realize the enormity of the film industry’s investments and hold ings in and around Hollywood . . . However, in order to make the sit uation more tense, agents have al ready been sent out to Florida to look over the lay of the land there, in the event a preliminary film exodus is contemplated, while Long Island and the Palisades of New Jersey are considered very ideal for motion picture work, being easily accessible to the hordes of Broadway talent . . . Well, anyhow, , . . the fight right now is being fought tooth and nail by both sides, and sooner or later, some kind of r showdown on the whole deal will unmask the true state of affairs (Please turn to page three) Mae West Guest On CBS Program By George Bikinian Emerald Radio Editor Mae West, generosa, has capit ulated to a radio sponsor. She has accepted an offer to portray over the Columbia chain tonight amus ing highlights from her latest screen play, “Goin’ to Town,” on the Hollywood Hotel program at G:30. Miss West has repeatedly turned down radio and marriage offers. She has at last exercised the feminine prerogative, but only, she avers, regarding one proposal. Don C’arruth and Jim Whipple, who entertained us the other night at a gathering, will sing their songs to a much larger audience today, wo hope, when they appear on the Emerald program at 4:45. Frank Evanson will accompany. Beatrice Lillie will play the lead ing role in another of her Bea sop's Fables, slightly inaccurate dramatizations of famous episodes from fact and fiction, on her pro gram with Lee Perrin's orchestra and the Cavaliers quartet tonight at 6 over NBC. At 8:30 Circus Night will feature Joe Cook and B. A. Rolfe's music, Lucy Monroe, Phil Duey and Peg LaCentra. Explaining Some fo the Cheers From the Ball Park Trt»s is ome. TH IMG THACT'S STILL PLAYEO ACCORPiMG to ^ULES WE CAM UMDERSTArtP / s Again I See in Fancy —... By Frederic S. Dunn The University Almost In the Slough Old plots of Eugene remind one or maps of Europe before the Na poleonic Wars or even of the Ro man Empire,—it is so difficult to discover modern boundary lines. And, to reverse the puzzle, one can scarcely locate the sites of former days underneath the new surfac ing of the present. To think that steamboats were still scrambling over gravel and sand-bars to reach Eugene at the time the University welcomed its first legion of 130! And that Pearl Street ended abruptly at where Twelfth was subsequently discov ered! My grandfather’s barnyard began immediately at that point, and beyond that was what seemed to my childish fancy a limitless universe. How often I have watched the old-time threshing ma chines operate near the present intersection of Thirteenth and Pearl! I have wandered out into that vast wheat field and still farther into the dobie “bad lands" of the Amazon, losing myself in the deep ravines of the slough, wondering the while if the folks were missing me at home or if they could see me from the top of the wind-mill. It was out in this dismal stretch o;; my grandfather's domain, the original Daniel R. Christian's Do nation Claim, that the Union Uni versity Association decided to lo cate the State University. The building itself would probably have stood somewhere in the middle of the Amazon swamp in its old-time unrestraint, perhaps near where Pearl street now crosses 17th Ave. Yet that, in spite of strenuous opposition, was the decision when subscriptions were first solicited. Later discontent grew too strong for the Association and the com mittee was forced to consider oth er propositions. A university in a swamp was demonstrated as most unsound policy, unsafe architectur ally. And how aesthetically un wise, when on all sides lay such in viting knolls and hill-sides, from which the University could look down with benign dignity upon the flats of mediocrity! Our founders were wise. The Amazon was ever and still is an unsolved predicament, a little Mis sissippi of our own. As early as April 22, 1876, The Guard mentions the discussion of a canal, “from Eugene City by the Spencer Butte Swale to Junction City.” And so it has continued through the sub sequent years.
