Story of America's Sporting
Criminal Given in Won
defu! Picture
MOSCOW (A P) America,
the wonderful, is never more won
derful than from the outside look
ing in.
The story of America's "million
aire spoTting criminal," ladies in
cluded, whose most popular diver
sion is horse stealing for which
they get lynched occasionally va
ried by man hunting expeditions
when shooting game palls, is one
of America's newest wonders that
has been presented to young Com
munists here.
The story was printed in the
Comsomolsky Pravda, organ of the
Central Committee of the Young
Communist organization, and was
represented as being reprinted
from a Stockholm paper, the iden
tity of which was not mentioned
The facts were said to have been
presented by a "noted criminolo
gist recently returned from pursu
ing his studies in America." It
runs as follows:
"Among the different sorts of
crimes recently developed in Am
erica, sporting crimes are greatly
on the increase among the weal
thy population. American dan
dies and ladies are organizing rob
beries and thefts in which the po
lice participate, being well paid for
doing so. Horse-stealing as a
spori is very popular, and the poor
farmer frequently finds his horse
shot in the woods with a purse ly
ing near by in which has been
placed the value of the animal.
"These criminal millionaires are
never brought into court, notwith
standing these affairj are often
productive of Tictims, and all in
formation about their crimes re
mains forever hidden in the se-
r-rot si-chives of the DOlice. But
I ordinary human beings, when they
manage to catch these criminal
millionaires, maie no distinction
and it often happens that they
ljnch them especially for horse
stealing; bui this fact only adds
zest to the sport and the risk and
danger are extolled in poems for
there exists among these wealthy
sportsmen a sort of cult of 'crim
inal poetry.
"Some time ago millionaire
members of one hunting club, fed
up with the ordinary hunting ot
animals, took a trip to South Am
erica to hunt human beings. In
Paraguay they ' followed the
courses of the rivers In boats .and
shot with rifles all natives they
saw on the shores." ,

Amid a clump of black oaks on

Some thought it a joke when the
Versailles treaty awarded Poland
a narrow strip of coast, shown in
the map at the upper left, as an
outlet to the sea. But Poland took
the strip, which looked in 1919
like the view shown at the upper

the harbor shown in the center.

For you. the freshman student
about to enter a colleere or univer
sity this, the first year, is thf
most critical of your life. Tt marks
a turning point. It is a measure of
your progress and Is the beginning
of a new epoch.
You have ceased to he a child
and have entered into adult life.
You will be less shielded and pro
tected than in the past, and you
will be affected by a richer and
more complex environment. Your
safety will not be provided by
parental care, mbut must be
parental care. but must be
will power and your enlightened
self-determination.
I want to rvTl! your attention to
certain phases of your new en-'
vironment that experience has
shown is important In the career
of students.
Many students will find it ne
cessary or desirable to earn a part
or all of the money required to
meet expenses. Avoid work that
in its nature or its amount in
jures your health or interferes
with your other duties. When ad
ditional funds are required, bor
row the amount, if necessary,
rather than engage in too many
hours daily in earning money dur
ing the academic year.
The second phase of your en
vironment is athletics. We believe
in the best possible development
of the physical body. Excessive
interest in athletics often leads to
classroom neglect and finally ex
clusion from college for failure to
attain the required standard of
scholarship.

and Hps of millions, and become
a household word upon two con
tinents "WV by Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh. The following par
agraph from the publisher's in
troductory note is of particular
interest:
"In this publisher's safe re
poses a remarkable and valuable
manuscript every word of
which has been painstakingly
written in longhand every word
of which is precious, not only be
cause it goes into the telling of a
great story, but because it clothes
so simply and modestly the spirit
of Charles A. Lindbergh. This
nvniuscript , Lindbergh's own
story is herewith printed unal
tered. It is the real story of
"We" by the articulate member
of that famous partnership."
Instantly attractive, too. is the
cover design bright night-blue,
end-margined by gold bars, the ti
tle "We" effectively stamped in
gold, beneath which (also stamp
ed in gold) is a monoplane, ap
parently poised in mid-air all ty
pically suggestive of the under
taking of the intrepid youthful
Birdman, who. with his beloved
"Spirit of St. Louis," on May 20th
last, suddenly winged his way
across the sky, and thereby, in
cidentally and unawares, to the
pages of 'history's imortal sons,
and to the hearts of untold mil-.,
lions throughout the world, who
delight to honor him not merely
because of his epochal achieve
ment, but also because of his fine,
clean young manhood typical of
the best of American youth and
who, "though he walked with
kings yet has kept the common
touch."
As indicated by the publisher's
note the book is primarily a chro
nological record of Lindbergh's
career, tersely told; but though
the author does not (one wishes
he did) stress his personal aerial
sensations, sentiment, or spirit of
the adventure, yet the story is re

Expresses Belief That Char
acter Comes First in
Home, Business, Etc.
liy Joy Klmer Morgan
(Kditor, Journal nf the National Edaca
tiona) Ashoeintion)
Character comes first In educa
tion. It comes first In the home,
in business, in manufacture and in
the professions. The world's great
teachers have always put charac
ter first, whether in kindergarten
or university.
We do not mean by character
the petty moralities or the endless
dont's and does with which some
parents and teachers seek, to chain
expanding youth. We mean rather
the restraints and controls that
come from within, and the total
network of habits, appreciations,
skills and ambitions that leads
people to choose a path because of
its inherent Tightness.
"Pioneers and great commoners
like Lincoln have always been
quick to see the inherent Tightness
of things. The simplicity of their
lives as children, their closeness
to nature with its persistent ap
plication of natural law has helped
them to know that there are forces
greater than the whims ot men.
No better. character forming ma
terial exists than well-written
lives of the world's heroic figures.
Every child should be literally sur
rounded with these narratives.
It takes character to form char
acter.' Jt cannot rist to great
heights in the hands of ignorant
parents or stupid teachers. It can
not be built by rule Of thumb.
There are, however, a few princi
ples which, if wisely applied, help
much.
Bring yourself to think of rear
ing your children as a great Joy
ous and fascinating adventure.
Study constantly the art and sci
ence of child rearing as you would
prepare for business or a profes
sion. Seek to know your children and
to accept them as they are. Par
ental self-delusion has wrecked the
character of many a child.
From birth develop regularity In
eating, sleeping and the other vital
habits of life. ,
Give the child the maximum
freedom as he seeks . to discover
the world about him and meet his
curiosity frankly. Character is not
formed by "dont's" and "stops"
and "quits."
Do not make the child afraid or
keep him with people who have
fear complexes, which, he will copy.
Begin early to teach the child
right, hahits ,tn his associations
with others. Modern life has mnlti
piled such associations tremen
dously.
Begin giving the child : simple
tasks - almost as soon as he cab
walk and develop into regular da
ties within his strengths
: Recognise : the. importance of
right habits tn his association with

. NEW YORK. (AP While the
United States has been going from
knee breeches to trousers and back
to plus fours, and from crinolines
to wasp waists and thence to knee-
length frocks, tbje American eagle
which adorns tne nation's coins
has kept steady pace with the
styles of his countrymen.
Time after time in the century
odd of his existence the eagle has
appeared in nerw poses and with
new characteristics, as a national
emblem, Rowland Wood, curator
of the American Numismatic so?
ciety, points out. His wings have
stretched wide or, have rested at
his side, his feachers have been
calm or ruffled, his beak has gaped
voraciously or has "been tucked in
docility at his breast, in response
to the influence of successive
sculptors, congresses or national
moods.
Today the eagle whicih appeared
on the American dollar Jn 174 as
a young bird, athletic and clean
cut, has acquired a mfien of sol
emn dignity and has taken his
perch on a lofty crag possibly,
Wood suggests, to contemplate his
next reincarnation-
Only for a year or two did the
eagle remain as Tie was first de
signed. Wood points out. He re
appeared with, wfngs outstretched
and looking "like an albatroe? bal
ancing hinvself on a tightrope."
His next "pose was a belligerent
one, and. at the age of four he ac
quired a shield for a chest pro
tector, opened his mouth wanly
and let his tail feathers droop. .
"He was 13 years old," Wrood
continnes. "before they decided to
reduc his chest protector. His
nose had developed and be had
put on weight. OCtea. particularly
on gold coins, he showed signs of
animation by flapping his wings,
but the sad look remained in his
eyes.
"Then, apparently came a time
when Iris rich relatives were
ashamed of him. In 1850 his fea
thers were combed, and he was
concealed behind a shield so large
that 'only his extremities showed.
Thus he appeared on our first $20
gold pieces.
'Something happened to the
bird in 1873. He may have caught
cold, or perhaps the disgrace of
being put on a' trade dollar and
sent to China wounded his pride.
Ho appeared to be shivering and
in 'a tremble, 'with rumpled feath
ers. He became cockier again bn
the Bland silver dollar In 1879. al
though somewhat aged,' and his
tail took the appearance of an os
trich fan. Four years later he got
a marcel, his beak was pared down
and he was given a breastplate.
"Whfen he was fl3 years old, in
1907, he went to see Dr. St. Gau
dens, who made him a - gay col
legian with Oxford bags. So fris
ky did he feel that he took to fly

years. He alighted on the 50 cent
piece In his -balloon trousers. At
that time it cost $20 to see him in
flight, hut about 12 years ago he
reduced the price of his flights to
a quarter.

years ago, for a time covering the
years from 1878 to 1882 inclusive,
there was a company of about 40
young peoplefof Salem, known as
the Mountain Party that made an
nual summer pilgrimages to Gates
upon the upper reaches or the
Santiam. Gates, now a town with
hotel and a railroad, was then
simply a name. It was a location
with hundreds of millions of cubic
feet of nure and refreshing moun
tain air, of unlimited spaces for
elbow room, of roarlnr waters. tt
trees and rocks, of huckleberries.
and blackberries, and adjacent to
the .finest trout stream in the
state of Oregon. This com
pany of young people was re
cruited largely from the choirs
of the churches of Salem. Their
repertoire Included all the old
time music that Is so dear to the
common people. There was Annie

Wildwood, Swinging in the Lane,
Sweet Bye and Bye, Juanita, Sil

Aunt Dinah's. Quiltjng Party,

the Patter of the Rain Upon the
Roof and scores of other ol.ltime
favorites. To hear those old songs
ringing through what was then a
primeval forest as evening sha
dows began to fall seemed some
thing like a taste of heaven.
