Columbus Day Today is the 429th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Colum- All over the world it is celebrated as Columbus Day. ~ What Columbus sought was a short-cut route to India, by way of the westward ocean. What he discovered was more than a continent, it was a turning-point in civilization government. When the fearless Italian navigator landed on the Island of Guanahani, West Indies, the early morning of October 12, 1492, he opened the door of the land that made ent by the people possible. Gold lured the early explorers of America. But it was refugees from European politi- oppression that built the foundations of the mighty civilization that has risen on the can continent.

The Story of a Cackling Hen Editor The Star: At the Chamlrey of Commerce luncheon Friday, Miss Splelbauer, who hag charge of its Information bureau, told the members some of tho things touristy bad sald about them during the summer, The out standing complaints, according to Miss Splelbauer, were that “Seattle was not widely enough advertised,” that “our business men were not educated in the art of tourtet luré” and that “thousands of dollars were lost to the city because of the ext inting conditions at Woodland Park, the tourist camping ground. She also said (in a VERY LOW voice) that our rainy season was greatly exaggerated. Her experience has been that tourists epend several weeks in California, several days in Canada, and a few hours in Seattle, BECAUSE they were not offered or had not heard of any special induce ment for staying here, Following Miss Splefbauer, the University of Washington football coach spoke for himself, He said, in pa “I know my business and | don't want anyone to tell me HOW to run it. If I went into a manufac turing plant, I wouldn't tell the manager how to install his machin. ery and likewise I don't want any of you trying to tell me HOW to train a football team—I KNOW now."

Smith bullding tower les the making or the breaking of the future Seattle tourist business, A joke with a hidden meaning which carried a moral and created a good laugh was that of a “cack ling hen.” Mr. Charlie Allen, preat- dent of a new 10 o'clock club, brought the hen as a club mascot. He said: “You know a hea ALWAYS cackies before it anything.” Mr. Hatch admonished him with: “A cackling hen SOMETIMES lowes {ts head and DOESN'T do anything,” whereupon Mr. Trefethen came to its rescue by mying: “The hen cack les when it doge something that is going to hatch.” The Seattle Cham. ber of Commerce hasn't gained « VERY enviable reputation abroad for DOING THINGS that HATCH. The cackle so far hasbeen about all. Two men in the tower one day were looking dver the south end of the city. One was a resident busi- hess man and the other was an out- of-town business man. The visitor remarked: “I can’t understand all The Worshipers GEO, T. THOMPSON Great 4&od of Gold!
