The World's Greatest Adventure A very old map was found in the archives of the former sultans of Tur- key not Jong ago, It proved, to the delight of scholars, to be @ copy of ® map used by Christopher Colum- bus himself. On the border, in Ara- bic, was the story of Columbus’ voy- ages, written for the ruler of Turkey by some court scribe way back at the dawn of the sixteenth century. A paragraph of this story is worth rereading today, as a reminder that the whole Columbus epic is one of the finest bits of courage and high adventure ever told. ‘The unknown Turkish author, after telling how Columbus begged the men of Genoa for ships with which he could explore the western ocean, quotes their reply: “They say: ‘Oh, you simpleton, in the west is to be found the end and extremity of the world and its boun- dary; it is full of the vapor of dark- There is somehow a creepy quality to those words which helps us to un- derstand just what an uncertain and scary job it was that Columbus tackled. The earth today offers no voyage even remotely equal to it. For there were no charts of the western sea; then. A resolute and foolhardy man “heading west might fetch up any- where from the Isles of the Blest to the very jumping-off place itself. | He didn't know and no one else knew. There was an abundance of weird tales about the dreadful things that could happen to him, and how- ever much he might doubt them he} had no way of proving that they weren't true, but to go himself and find out. All he could be sure of was that he would sail into an empty sea, a sea that never had seen a sail before. Columbus believed, as the old Arabic writer says, that “the western sea has an end, that on the side of the sun- set there are coasts and islands, and Many different kinds of mines, and also a mountain of precious stones.” But he couldn't quite be sure, and there must be have been moments, Jate at night, when he had only stars and waves for company, when he must have wondered if he were not sailing right out of the ordinary world into unimaginable and inescapable perils. Those eerie words about “the vapor of darkness” are more than an ex- pressive phrase; they tell what most men actually expected Columbus to tind, The earth's history holds few stor- jes more romantic than this one of Columbus. Once a year is not too often to reread it. Hard to Be Sorry One finds it pretty Gifficult to feel sorry for anyone connected with a kidnaping racket, but there was a touch of pathos in the story which Kathryn Kelly told from the witness stand in Oklahoma City which will teach many hearts. ‘This was her remark that, since her Hlrate 3 hi For § t 3 3 | : i ‘ In her heart Mrs. Kelly must have known she was headed for disaster. Her instincts must have warned her. A true story of the mental reactions of this woman would make interest- ing reading. It probably would serve as a signal warning to other girls and ‘women who link their lives with per- sons of questionable character, North Dakota’s Experience ‘The proposal from Washington to take a large slice of the public works money and build better homes for Americans will doubtless strike a responsive chord in many parts of the nation, The object is surely one much to be desired. Millions of people in this country now live in inadequate quar- vers. In a land with enough resources to see that everyone is well housed, there are too many hovels in the rural areas, too many squalid tenements in ‘the cities. Surely the demand is there, But in North Dakota many will put their tongues in their cheeks and wait to see how the thing works out. This state took @ fling at the housing game and found it interesting but expen- sive. On paper, nothing ever looked better than the proposal at the turn of the last decade to have the state finance modest homes and sell them to workmen at cost. But practice showed the imperfec- tions. The homes cost too much. Money injected into the project by the sale of state bonds seemed to dis- appear as if by magic. It was dif- ficult to get a dollar's worth of value for every dollar spent. And so, when the whole thing was washed up, few who bought the homes were benefited and the state took a loss of $500,000. Secretary Ickes and other big shots in the national administration cane not be expected to take much stock in this small-scale venture of an agricultural state, but it might be something for them to consider. North Dakota's plan looked just as good at the beginning as the nationa! scheme does now. % Tax Paying Time It seems about time that the cry of “balance the budget,” which shook the nation during the last congress, be raised in behalf of the city, coun- ty, school district and other subdivi- sions of government. The same benefits which will ac- jcrue from balancing the national budget, if and when that ever is done, will come to persons living in the po- litical subdivisions !f their local gov- ernments are made clearly solvent. Many North Dakota subdivisions now are registering warrants because they lack ready cash. Taxes have not been paid and so bills pile up or the creditor is given paper which is not immediately valuable except at a heavy discount. Any estimate of the current situa- j tion must show there are several rea- sons why more people have not push- ed their money across the county treasurer's counter. One is sheer in- ability to pay. Another is the hope of reaching @ compromise upon a lower tax figure at some future time. A third is the desire of some persons to hold on to what money they have Pending clarification of the business outlook. But whatever the reason, the situa- tion thus created is a bad one. Those who can do so should pay their taxes as quickly as possible. By so doing they will be making a substantial contribution to confidence and recov- ery.
