Parton nrm m m H H H H m m KJ EW i < f A Y O R K .—At least one asset ' possessed by Getulio Dernelles Vargua, who has seized dictatorial powers In Brazil, la a comprehen sive grasp of the B ra s ilia n public affairs of D u c t Know s his country, re sulting from seven G o v e rn m e n t years* experience as Brazilian ruler. When he first appeared in public life as prosecutor In Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande Do Sul, at the age of twenty-five, his diminutive stature, five feet four inches in hla stocking feet, occasioned some de rision and some doubt among un thinking fellow countrymen who felt that official efficiency in approxi mate degree related to physical pro portions. Here, incidentally, was an error observed in the early career of one Napoleon Bonaparte and other lit tle men whose dynamic energy, per tinacity and keen mentality could easily h a v . filled more adequate physiques with much to spare. Like Napoleon, Vargas is swarthy of complexion and, also like him, he is no shakes of an orator. In fact, deeds, rather than words are char acteristic of Brazil's fuehrer. He will be fifty-five years old next April, having been bom under the empire of Dom E a r ly D a y » Pedro In 1883 in W e re U n d e r the village of Sao Borjd on the Uru D o m P e d ro guay river in the state of Rio Grande Do Sul, of which he eventually became governor. Wliile holding this ofllce in 1930, he led the revolution of that year in which the insurgents seized con trol of the country, the revolt being due to Mr. Vargas' conviction that his defeat as candidate for the pres in the spring of that year had been due to ballot frauds. Four years later he became president un der the constitution which has now been superseded. In youth, after a prim ary educa tion of some soundness, he entered the arm y, und, at the age of seven teen, won a sergeant's warrant. But, disliking arm y life, he resigned to continue his education. He took his degree in law in 1907, aged twenty-four, and thereupon be gan the political career which seven years ago landed him in the presi dential palace, where he seems minded to remain for an indefinite time. . . . C PORTS writers tell me that Jos- eph C. Trees, Pennsylvania oil millionaire, is in for a handsome posting from the colleges for insist ing that hiring T re e » T e ll» football players is •'eminently sound o f T im e H e and proper." He W a , ‘ R in g e r’ spilled quite a platter of beans at a University of Pittsburgh banquet, telling of his days as a "ring er," as they called the hired player in his day, back in the nineties. He wants the colleges to abandon their “ pious and holier-than-thou attitude,*' and says “ they deceive nobody but themselves.” He told of punching the time- clock in the Pittsburgh football m ill and how other big eastern colleges had tried to bid him away. He was a laborer in the oil fields in those days. He took a degree In me chanical engineering in 1895 and drilled so many dry holes they called him “ Dusty Joe” all through western Pennsylvania. . In his junior year, he had m ar; ried Miss Claudine Virginia Willi- son of Perrysville, and she, and she alone, says M r. Trees, saved him from failure and set him on the road to fortune. When his last hole proved to be as dry as the Congressional Record, he went home and told his wife he was through—he was going to pick up his old job as a day laborer. As he now tells it, “ The little woman just naturally chased me out of the house. T h e Mi»»u» She said 1 hadn’t C h a te t H im started yet and I ’d better hurry up to F o rtu n e and plug another well. I did and I got oil—not a gusher, but enough for a start.” That was the start, and the finish was many millions, n\any director ates, beautiful estates and much public largess, including the gift of a gymnasium to his form er employ er—the University of Pittsburgh. His second wife is Mrs. Edith Lchn, his former secretary. When they were m arried in 1929, and he was making over his magnificent es tate near Pittsburgh, he moved a 80-foot elm tree ten miles, just to work out a nice detail of landscap ing. His career has been saddened by the death of his two sons, one in an automobile accident in 1909 and one in an airplane crash on a Texas training field during the World war. © Consol id a ted N ew« Feature*.

Famed Among Fish In western Mexico’s (state of Mi- choacan) Lake Patzcuaro there are great shoals of a small transparent fish—called the "white fish” in Mex ico—that epicures regard as the tastiest of all fishes. It is as succu lent as young quail, and altogether lacking in fishy flavor. People along the lake partake of it three times each day.
