NO ADVENTURE? " A little 36-foot sailing sloop slipped into New York harbor the other'day after'more than a month at sea. It came from France, a,nd its sole occupant was a young painter, one Marin Marie Purand-Couppel. When this venturesome youth was asked to' tell of the thrills' of his single-handed crossing of the Atlantic, he re plied flatly that there Hadn't been any. .. "Tjiere were some difficult head winds and I was happy to arrive in the bay," h said. "What hapened? A storm, .ftfnd. Waves. I lost a jib'. But I cannot excite yoifwilh words. When one has been to sea many times, 6ne either has bad1 weather or good weather, and the' excitement comes only when one has never seen either good weather or bad weather before," ' :. ; Now in all of the fine frenzy of words' with which we Jnndsmen like to talk about ''the sea," as if it were at mystic arid forbidden realm on which romance etemally (rides the horizon, this matter-of-fact little statement seems to come' about as close' to giving the real essence of things as anyone could, 1 For a great deal of expensive', language' has. been used to tell about the wonder and mystery of the sea, but very little of it, has actually been used by sailors. The "romance" of sea-faring it generally something that sailors know very iitile aboiii; and even when they know about it they dont talk abolit it much. ' ;.''

The men Who actually folloj thetn can find in them nothing worth tolling about afterward.: The fine writing comtis from people who stay at home and get their thrills oilt of their own imaginations.

'The aeparaU on." she aaya, dismis sing that subjecti "would have come anyway, and It bu nothing, to do witn my determination to nave a new career la pictures. Mr. Webb and I climbed far together, and I dont regain It. But now I want to go out alone, and make my way absolutely on my own." Clinging Vine Heroine In silent pictures the- blond actress played many a "dinging vine' hero ine, and looking backward Esther pro fesses to see a parallel there to her real life role. . "Always before," she says. "I list? ened too much, never thought for myself. I never went on a set with out worrying about my halrt my make-up. how I was to do the scene. I- wanted to please everybody, and I listened1 to everybody." Confidence gained through recent experiences in vaudeville with the constant necessity of- meeting emer gencies before audiences helped to instill seil-reiiance. she explains. Hue's Confident Now- "Oa the picture I've Juet finished I thought only about acting, and I think I've learned a. lot about that. It didn't matter if my hair waa out of place, if the make-up had melted from my chinj I, knew how I was go- ing to play, each role. I have con fidence In myself now, and no thing on mm earui can nom me oacjc." Tnia. uttered earnestly to. the ac companiment of flashing blue eyes, doesnt sound like the mild Esther Hollywood used to know, so perhaps mere reauy is a "new Esther Ral-'-ston. ' - fc "I don't care for mpneyJ' Esther declares, "or for diamonds, or a big house with a pool I ve had all those, and all; I want now is to work!" And already she - has had offers enough to gratify, that desire. ROBOT HELPS FHIIIT FIRES ! MISSOULA, Mont. P) Uncle Sam's forestry service has turned to a robot io aid In, preventing forest fires.
