. SPOTLIGHTS
I went to see Frank Craven's play
"That's Gratitude." After the show
Mrs. Craven and Grantland Rice
took me .up to Frank's apartment.
Other friends dropped in, and pre
sently Frank himself arrived gen
uine, whimsical, modest, totally un
spoiled. Seeing him in his own home made
it easier to understand his success.
Everything was simple and old
fashioned and sincere. When he
writes a play he just picks a situ
ation out of an ordinary American
home, and then he walks on the
stage and is himself.
On the way home another
thought struck me.
He is the author of the play, and
his name is printed on the program
and written in front of the theater
in elecrtic lights.
Yet it is a play without a star.
At least five other characters are
Just as important as he is. He is
on the stage no more than they are,
and they are given just as many
good lines.
He might have written the piece
so as to monopolize the spot light,
and it might have been a success
or it might have been a flop. But
being the sort of chap he is, he is
content to be in the background a
good share of the time. His royal
ties will reward his good sense.
Years ago Cameron McKenzie
wrote a short story entitled "The
Man Who Was It." The story told
about a business that had been
making good profits for many years.
The president took life very easy.
He played golf, travelled in Europe,
and let the boys assume responsibility.
After his death a young and very
efficient executive was brought in,
who decided that everything need
ed tightening up. When the pur
chasing agent was about to sign a
big contract, the new Boss jumped
Into the negotiations himself. When
the sales manager had a large or
der to close, the Boss said: "I'll
pack my bag and go with you."
When the production manager
made plans for rearranging the
plant, the Boss revised his plans.
He worked about twenty hours a
day, and was always criticizing his
predecessor who had seemed to
work so little.
The result was that his associates
being robbed of both responsibility
and credit, lay back and let him do
it. He worked himself into a nerv
ous breakdown, and the business
went on the rocks.
I am told that the Jesuits had
this motto: "A great deal of good
can be done in the world if one is
not too careful who gets the credit."
Wise leaders recognize this gold
en principle and profit by it. The
foolish hog the spotlight, and fre
quently go to smash.
RISKS
The first reaction of everyone
who read about the accident to the
submarine "Nautilus" which dis
abled it while it was cruising on
the surface from America to Eng
land, was how fortunate it was that
that did not cocur while the ship
was under the Arctic ice.
Perhaps Sir Hubert Wlikins and
his crew are not proposing to take
any more serious risks than did
many of the pioneer aviators. In
the case fo flying it was fairly easy
for anyone, however, to recognize
the value of these early experiments
if they should prove successful. It
is difficult to see any possible value
to humanity, or Importance to sci
ence, in the effort to reach the
North Pole by a submarine boat.
It looks, to an Impartial observer,
as if human life were being risked
merely to provide thrills, just as a
circus performer provides them.
RADIODYNAMICS
That is the word coined by John
Hays Hammond, Jr., and now ac
cepted by the patent office and Con
gress, to mean the control of energy
at a dsitance by means of radio.
Hammond began to experiment
vwith radiodynamics when he was a
student in Yale in 1909. He invented
a method of controlling a boat on
the surface of the water and a tor
pedo under the surface by radio
impulses over a long course without
a pilot on board.
This is something quite different
from transmitting power by radio.
Only enough power can be trans
mitted to set a piece of machinery
in motion or stop it. The machin
ery must have its own Independent
power plant. The day may come
when actual power can be sent
through the air, but that is a long
way in the future.
SPORTS
Interest in collegiate football is
declining, the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching
reports.
There is a very decided difference
between sports participated in by
students for the benefit of the stu
dents themselves, for the mainten
ance of their health and the up
building of their morale, and sports
undertaken as a means of advertis
ing partclular colleges or of making
money.
Nobody is suggesting that all In
tercollegiate sporting contests
should be abolished, but it is cer
tainly true that public Interest in
them is declining, and it is probable
that they will play a, less Important
part in college life in the future
than in the past.
PIGEONS
A blue homing pigeon flew B03H
miles from Salisbury, N. C, to New
York City in 13 hours, 11 minutes
and 51 seconds the other day. This
was not quite a record for the 600
mile annual pigeon race, but It
comes very close to it.
A large part of the homing pig
con's time In flying long distance,
however, Is taken up In the bird's
questing, or circling at high alti
tudes, to find landmarks to guide it
back to Its home nest. The bird has
no mysterious sixth sense or hom
ing Instinct. It cannot llnd its way
home at night or in a dense fog or
conditions of low visibility. Like
almost all birds, however, It has
telescopic powers of vision beyond
anything which human beings can
easily Imagine, according to Dr
Casey Wood, famous oculist, who
has devoted many years to the
study of the eyes of birds. The
homing pigeon memorizes land
marks near Its home loft, and, as It
is given longer and longer flight
trials, it learns the lay of the land
at greater distances, until it knows
the country so well that when lib
erated within 500 miles from home
on a clear day, it can see some re
membered landmark in the direc
tion of its home.
ROCKETS
Prof. Robert H. Goddard, of
Clark University, who has been ex
perimenting with and talking about
propelling aircraft by means of
rockets, has taken out patents on a
rocket-proprelled airplane. The
plane is expected to rise from the
ground like any other plane, its pro
pellers being turned by a turbine
engine, for which the gas from a
succession of rockets will furnish
the power. When it gets into the
rarified upper atmosphere the en
gine will be cut off and the propul
sive force will be that of the rock
ets themselves.
Prof. Goddard is no idle vision
ary. Just what he has got in his
desert laboratory in New Mexico
he is not teling the world as yet,
but if anyone in this country is
going to succeed in flying by means
of rockets Prof. Goddard will prob
ably be the first.
ODD---BUT TRUE
Or- th
(Q)M
by Nancu Hart
GOOD WITH NUTS
Hickory Nut Macarpons
Mix one cup meat nuts, chopped
tine, with one cup of sugar, one-half
cup flour and one egg. Drop on but
tered tins and bake in quick oven.
Hazelnut Cake
Nine ounces of flour (a pint of
sifted flour, heaping measure), four
ounces of butter, four ounces of
sugar, four ounces of chopped ha
zelnuts, four eggs, teaspoon of van
illa, quarter teaspoon of salt, tea
spoon of baking powder. Bake in
shallow pan in medium oven and
when cold, ice with boiling icing.
Good Salad
A smart tea-room serves' this
combination, which is indeed deli-
clous: A mound of potato salad on
a lettuce leaf or two on a plate,
and lying against the mound, on
each of its four sides, a boneless,
skinned sardine. This is really a
very delicious luncheon combina
tion, and one that would be of the
easiest for home preparing.
With Mint
An attractive confection can be
made from mint leaves. Select reg
ular leaves and boil them for a min
ute only in a syrup made from one
cup of sugar and a quarter cup of
water. The syrup should have been
boiled a few minutes before the
mint leaves are added. Take the
leaves from the syrup and let dry
for four or five hours. Have ready
an unbeaten egg white. Dip each
leaf In this and dust with fine gran
ulated sugar, and let dry on the top
of stove or in an open oven.
l'lirsnip Suuto
Having boiled the parsnips, cut
them in long narrow strips like cig
arettes, Put them into a saucepan
with a large lump of drippings or
butter, and shake occasionally until
the butter absorbs and the edges of
the parsnips become slightly brown
ed; do not allow them to fry crisp.
Chop a tnblespoonful of parsley fine,
stir it, with pepper and salt, into
the parsnips, and serve.
Shepherd's I'io
Cut cold mutton into Inch dice
and place In a baking dish. Cover
with hot gravy. A thinly sliced
onion may bo added if liked. Boil,
mash and season 1 quart of pota
toes and henp on the pudding dish
Bake in an oven until the potatoes
are browned.
Spinach Au Uratln
Chop two cups of drained spinach

headaches, or any other pain. There
is hardly an ache or pain Bayer
Aspirin tablets can't relieve; they are
a great comfort to women who suffer
periodically. They are always to be
relied on for breaking up colds.
It may be only a simple headache,
or it may be neuralgia or neuritis;
rheumatism. Bayer Aspirin is still
the sensible thing to take. Just be
