SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen me 1CAGO; ‘vedi Harvey ‘C. Couch, power magnate of Arkansas, took time out to engage in a hog-calling contest in his county, which he | alone, in 7 days, 18 hours and 49 minutes. | won. Asked the secret of his success, he said he used the “s-o-0-e-y” system. After ‘a six-month |vacation Prince Louisi Ferdinand von Hohenzollern, grand- son of ‘the former ‘German Kaiser, has re- turned ‘to his job as Ford salesman in ‘De- troit. He failed in his effort to sell a-car} to his once ‘illustrious grandsire, but ‘said “Grandpa certainly is keen about Presi- dent Roosevelt.” All efforts to attain-long life are some- times frustrated by trivial circumstances. | Mrs. Cruz’Martine of Chicago, aged 208, fell asleep on her doorstep and was burned to death when her cigarette set her dress on fire. = Another argument for the “Dutch “reat” system: John Wallace and George Larkin of New York, had-a few drinks and) Poth insisted on paying ‘thé bill. Wallace} vas determined to have the privilege of Playing Jhost, and in the argument which ensued ‘he punched ‘Larkin so hard that Larkin died. _ Chioken thieves in McAllister, Okla., Hiave a poetic urge, as was illustrated by a verse left on the chicken coop of John @hapman, from whom they had taken 87 ehickens, leaving only one rooster and two. hens, It read: “I steel from the rich, and I steel from ‘he : I will leve the old rooster to raze some mor.” + pore *~ Arnold ’Toiven, of Portland, Ore., has the hobby of looking up the histories of fa- Mious camp meetings. He avers that the biggest camp meeting ever held was stag- ed.in Kentucky in 1801, when 17 preachers got sinners told for six days and nights. Emotional excitement became so intense that “3,000 fainted and 500 others jerked and barked.” The old timers had their troubles, too., In 1788 George Washington wrote: “Is there anything that can be done to restore the credit of our moncy? It has got to sé alarming a point that a wagon load of mioney will scarcely purchase a wagon ioad af provisions.” French women do not like to go through life as Mademoiselles, so many of them pay men from $25 to $3,000 to marry them in order that they may be known as Madame. Then, having averted the stig- nia of being “old maids,” they get divorces and pursue their joyous way.

How the ‘time required for this feat hasibeen reduced is strikingly illustrated by | 3 the fact that Magellan’s ship Victory, the first to circumnavigate the globe in the ac- cepte: ‘ense, took three years, lacking 12 days, for its voyage, 1519 to 1522. Drake made it in 1,052 days, some- thing over a half century later. | in 1856 sailed from Plymouth, England, and returned in 781 days. Then challenged by Jules Verne’s “Around the World in 80 days,” Nellie Bly, a newspaper woman, went around the world in 72 days. The next year George Francis Train did the stunt in 67 days. ‘Other records ranging around 40 days were made in the ‘succeeding years ‘before the advent of the airplane. In 1827 Linton and Wells, employing | | j train, boat and airplane, completed the circuit in 28 days. In 1928 Mears and Collyer reduced the time to 24 days; the dirigible Graf Zeppelin in 1929 cut the record to 21 days. Then came the real record-breakers. Wiley Post.and Harold Gatty in 1931 made the trip by airplane in 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. A few days ago the speediest world flight of all time was made by Wiley Post, ‘one-eyed aviator, flying And that’s something for other globe trot- ters to shoot at.

Some expressions by college and uni- versity authorities: on the subject, in the light of their observations since the new law became effective on April 7, seem per-, tinent at.this time. President Hopkins of Dartmouth Col- lege, where ‘beer is permitted ‘to be sold on, ‘the campus, declares that “there would seem to be.a tendency for beer to displace hard liquor in undergraduate consump- tion.” Similar views are expressed by Dean Hawkes and Professor Pitkin of Columbia University, Dean Works.of the University of Chicago, President Britt of Knox Col- lege, and Dr. Fairchild of New York Uni- versity, to name only.a few who have given special attention to the reaction of the students to the new dispensation. Needless to say, all the educators named desire to see drinking of intoxi- cants in their institutions reduced to the minimum. Every good citizen desires ‘to promote temperance. If harmless light heer ‘can be substituted for vile bootleg Nquor a decided gain in the desired di- rection will have been made. NEW FRENCH LOTTERY Hard venue ft need i for funds, the French government is about to adopt an old expedient to replenish its coffers—a national lottery. Lotteries are generally ‘held in dis- pute these days, but in former times they were common. For several years, back in its early history, Harvard University was partially supported by a lottery, and the United States government authorized many such enterprises in the first years of the nineteenth century. According to press reports, the pro- posed new French lottery will provide that 60 per cent of the sums realized in ticket sales will be distributed to prize winners, | while the remaining 40 per cent will go} to the government. The act under which the lottery will | operate specifies that the first 10 million | francs accruing to the government shall be | distributed to “destitute families, the vic- tims of agricultural calamities droughts.” A commission of dfstinguished war veterans will conduct the lottery's opera- winners on their gains. The odds against a ticket buyer are heavy, but human nature being what it is, there will no doubt be many customers for the new gamble, even at the odds of 100} | | to 69. | been made since and |“ seasonal average.
