Tra;ve*ling Around The Doctor Sees Eur: opean Trip as Some- what Like Love Affair. (No. 24, the concluding article of & series.) BY I. WILLIAM HILL, Staff Correspondent of The Star. EW YORK.—We will call him the doctor. We first saw him in our compartment on the boat train from Paris to le Havre, a man of medium height, with hair a little gray, and a small mustache. With a wink and a furtive smile he calmed the worries of a little Englishman whose reserved seat was about to be | Jost to the abundant baggage of a too-assertive tourist. We liked the doctor. At first he said little, except in an- swer to our questions, but we found that he had been abroad many times— this time to England, Russia, Italy and France. “I like to see what makes the wheels go 'round,” he said. Departure of a Liner. Aboard the Normandie, we stood at | the rail and watched as the shore | line pulled away, as crowds lined the dock and waved, as fishermen 1n! tiny boats shouted a “bon voyage,” | a little shaking and they should find their rightful place at the bottom.” — Reasons for a Home. Sometimes we sat on deck and watched the waves in silence for a while. Once the doctor asked if we were glad to be on the way home. “I don’t know.” “You should. Listen to any of a hundred conversations on this boat. We're all glad, whether we know it or not. There has to be a home. There has to be peace while time weaves the new into the pattern of the old. There has to be a rest to allow | the synthesis between new experi- ences and a life. The travel that THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1936. PAPER RESUMES; EDITION S RECORD = Seattle Post-Intelligencer Ends Suspension After 15 Weeks. EY the Associated Press. SEATTLE, November 30.—For the first time in 15 weeks, carrier boys de- livered the Seattle Post-Intelligencer to homes today. Presses rolled out a 48-page edition —a week day record—in celebration of settlement of an editorial strike by the American Newspaper Guild which closed the plant August 13. The paper’s new publisher, John Boettiger, President Roosevelt’s son- in-law, was on his way %o Seattle with his wife, the former Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. She will write for the P.-I. In a front-page statement, William Randolph Hearst, owner of the P.-I., said: “Mr. Boettiger will have absolute freedom in directing the business and editorial policies of the Post-Intelli- gencer, his only direction being to make it the best newspaper in Se- attle.” Mayor John F. Dore of Seattle, “AFTER A SLASHING SET-TO on the ice, I head straight for Cam- makes one wise is not a never-ceasing | movement from place to place, else tramps and- vagabonds would be the fwisest of us all.” Always the doctor was asking us ! insistent questions about our travel. “Why?” we asked, as the voyage neared its end. “Unfortunately, the feeling that you get from traveling abroad is more exciting than it is lasting,” he said. “It is a feeling too remote from your daily life to become a part of it. For | a while you have happily escaped a ! els,” says Phil LaBatte, hockey star. “I smoke Camels as much as I want—with meals and afterward —for diges- tion’s sake—for that cheery ‘lift” Camels don’t affect my condi- tion. And they never geton my nerves.” En- joy Camels yourself. Camels encourage s who mmhwflu addresses, said “It appears Sunle is going to have s democratic and pro-labor paper—a different kind, with President Roose- law as manager,” Dore said. MRS. ROOSEVELT’S BLESSING. Parting Advice Given Boetiiger and Wife in Leaving. NEW YORK, November 30 (#)— Mrs, Pranklin D. Roosevelt gave her blessing and parting advice to her daughter and son-in-law last night as they headed direct to Seattle, where both will assume positions on ‘William Randolph Hearst’s newspaper, the Post-Intelligencer. Husky, broad-shouldered John Boet- tiger, who becomes a publisher in his thirty-seventh year, preferred not to discuss for the present the future policies of the newspaper, whose three-and-one-half-month strike was a major political issue in the Pacific Northwest during the presidential campaign. It has been definitely arranged for his wife, the former Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, to write for the “P.-1."” President Roosevelt was advised of plans of the couple to work for his arch campaign critic, Hearst, it was learned, within two weeks after elec- tion day. This was before the Presi- dent sailed for South America more than & week beore Boettiger appointment was announced. FOOT CAUGHT IN TRACK Man Injured by Train in Old Melodrama Thriller. GREENSBURG, Pa., November 30 (P)—Alexander Lynn, 36-year-old col- ored man, played an unwilling part in an old melodrama thriller—getting & foot caught on a railroad track with the train roaring toward him., Lynn’s foot was caught outside the rail. He threw himself back as the engine rolled past. The foot was crushed badly. Surgeons amputated part of it in the hospital. o EOUCATIONAL.

In a day or so those cease and you will hesitate to mention your | voyage, because people regard you ' strangely when you do. Travel Like Love Affair. “It is natural that this is so, for it is only things nearby that have the size of life. Europe is only as large as one's understanding of it. A Often it is only a yellow square upon a map, with images of Hitler and Mussolini perhaps imposed upon it. “That is why I ask you questions, and that is why it is good that we should sit and talk here now. Going Places gain significance only from a mirrored reflection in one's person- ality. People have a meaning of their own.” It was the first of many conversa- tions on the voyage home. Going over we were meeting people, facing adventures, living excitedly by impulse. The way home was quieter, more re- flective. The catalysis that trans- | mutes events into experience had set in. The company of the doctor out | on deck meant more than gay musxci in the grill. “Did you keep a diary?” he asked. “For the first week.” “It is just as well. A diary or for- eign travel is too often a jumbled | thing. It has bad proportions and false emphasis and often no more hu- | manity than a guide book. The places | where I' went are listed preciously. It is not the places that are precious, but | their effect later on him who travels. It is better to forget those that do | not fit into the pattern. Definition of a Cosmopolitan. “After all, the benefit of foreign travel is not in things remembered. It is in the effect on one’s personality. You know the traveled man, the cos- mopolitan. He is free of local preju- dices. He is interested in people and things without having to lose his per- spective by either liking or disliking them. A cosmopolitan has real toler- | ance, not the kind that is merely criti- cism withheld. And, without toler-| ance, you never get to know a people.” We thought of a certain woman on the boat who had said she only liked one foreign country. “It's the only one where they seemed to like me,” she had explained. “They were nice, the dears.” “A diary often reveals the smallness of a person,” the doctor said, ‘a small- ness that travel may remedy unless certain facts set down on paper make them too real to be forgotten. You know the-trivial things that get undue significance in a diary—arguments with porters or cabbies, things that prejudice a person against a people out of all proportion, since they are most likely due to mutual deficiencies in language. Fresh in the diarist's mind, they are like small apples on the top of a bushel basket. Time and to Europe is like having a love affair. We should utnm the thrill of it as long as we can.” And so we did, even as our liner sailed past the Statue of Liberty and swung slowly in to dock.
