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been superseded.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.

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.
