Fortune Missed
Peddling Van
AMSTERDAM (UP) A rag-and-bone-man
named Couvreur from the
town of Breda In southern Holland
has revealed why so few canvasses of
Vincent van Gogh have been found.
This Dutch painter, who ended his
tra'c life a lunatic, was a prolific
producer during his younger years,
although his fame Is based on the
genius he showed during the latter
years of his short life.
Thirty-five years ago, Couvreur re
lates, on a cobble-stoned, street of
Breda, he was loading his handcart
with odds and ends he had bought
from a carpenter who asked him as a
favor to take away some rubbish. He
explained It was cluttering up his loft
where he had stored It after it had
been left behind by a painter who
had lived there for some time.
Couvreur obliged the carpenter and
took away two cartloads of the "rub
bish," chiefly paintings and drawings
aU signed "Van Gogh" or "V.a." or
sometimes only with a "V" or a "G."
"I used to have a stand,' Couvreur
told newspapermen, "a couple of
days each week in the local market.
I tried to sell the paintings. Nobody
wanted them, although I offered
' them as cheaply as 10 Dutch cents
apiece (about .05). I sometimes gave
A miss is as
good as a
million miles
WE'RE on out way back
into Alaska jointly with
two other California companies
because the oil industry is not
to be bluffed by experience.
Experience says that Alaska
may turn up gold for the sour
dough but it's a land of dry
holes to the oil prospector.
We're headed for a spot not
twenty miles from a place where
this Company spent imposing
money only a little over a dec
ade ago without getting a
smell of oil.
Furthermore, we're going to
a remote country, where even
the native Kodiak bear develops
such a cross-grained disposition
he is no good to himself or any
body else until made into a rug.
Again men will face hardships,
more money will be spent
because the oil industry has
learned never to give up.
A joint geological expedi
tion using knowledge, instru
ments, methods unknown ten
or fifteen years ago found
good prospects a day's hike
from the old failure.
In the search for oil the dis
tance between failure and suc
cess need not be measured in
anything so spectacular as miles.
Twenty yards might make all
the difference in the world
even twenty feet. Besides, the
oil industry was never one to
hesitate at the jurnping-off place
if the geologists said chances
were good on the other side.

them to children to play with. It
took me 30 years to get rid ol the
stuff. Sometimes I traded them at
local pubs for a glass of beer, altho
the Innkeepers were not all keen
about them.
"A couple of years ago somebody
must have heard about my paintings,
because a local art dealer sent around
a man to buy all I had left at 10
Dutch cents apiece. I had only six
left. Somehow I sensed there was a
demand for them and refused to sell
them so cheaply, in the end I got
35 cents for each painting.
"Now I realize I could have become
a rich man had I known the meaning
of the name Van Gogh. My son,
however, has kept two of the print
ings and probably he can make a
little money out of them."
Legionnaire Film
On Rialto Program
The army, navy and marines land
ed last night and left the audience
at the Rialto theatre completely out
of hand.
The merry military onslaught by
all branches of the service, of course,
was the robust and riotous "Battle
of Broadway," which is based on the
American Legion's "unconventional
convention" in New York. Victor
(Sez you) McLaglen and Brian (One
punch) Denlevy arrive on the gay
White Way In the Legion vanguard
to see what makes the cosy little
village on the Hudson river so pop
ular. These bottle-scarred veterans know
all the maneuvers . . . and when they
lay siege to beautiful Louise Hovlck.
"Battle of Broadway,'' like the Bat
tle of the Marne, becomes nothing
more than a whole collection of
fights conveniently filed under one
heading.
"Arson Racket Squad" plays as the
added feature with "Battle of Broad
way," at the Rialto through Tues
day. Strawberries Sold
WOODBURN. May 30. (Pj- -The
Woodburn Fruit cooperative announc
ed an unnamed California firm had

a home, a school, a church and a
town assembly, each of which was
distinguished by freedom, the speaker

Today, however, subversive In

the Institutions of freedom. Dr

"From the viewpoint of American
Institutions of liberty and freedom,
