It is a story fold over and over again in every M e and dim e. With fire and flood, w ith p estil­ ence and /amine, with tempest and earthquake, With drouth and heat and eold and hail, w ith ware that spring from geographical, racial and economic im­ pulsion beyond his making, fathom ing or control, m a n is forever denied the fruit of his aspiration and his striving.

Under the volcano’s crater he rebuilds bre cities, and in the wake of the tempest lie rims again to new and nobler accom­ plishment. And iit the process of strife and defeat and beginning again he progresses from weakness to strength, from ignorance to culightenuient. New York last Saturday welcomed home a home­ town boy. He wag Gene Tunnay, who Thursday night won the heavyweight prigefight champiqbship of thé world by defeating Jack Dem psey at Phila­ delphia. It was only a few days earlier that New York welcomed home a home-town girl. She was Gertrude Ederie, the first woman to swim the Eng­ lish channel. When it comes to paying honors to its heroes, New York is no different, no bigger than any other town. It is a thrilling thing to achieve a brilliant suc­ cess. And by no means the leqst thrilling part of the winning is the welcome home. The old home town may look w ith a fishy eye upon its prophets but it knows how to do things up. brown for its heroes. When a man achieves dis- tinction for himself he achieves distinction for the old home town, and the horn© town appréciâtes the fact. His distinction becomes its distinction and in honoring him it honors itself. And how the town loves it! When the Roman general returned home after subduing a barbarian province the home town boys turned out in force and gave him a “ trium ph.” But it w asn’t his triumph alone. It was Rom e’s triumph also. \ When Scipio African us won a victory it made Caiug Antonius Smithus, the dealer in staple and fancy groceries, feel more important man. And when Smithus was visiting friends in the country he could expand his chest and boast ‘’Africanas comes from my home town.
