Father Knows
Little Billy, aged four, was being
shown the shape of the earth on a
globe atlas by his mother. After
pointing to all the countries with
their peculiar shapes, she asked:
“Now, Billy, what shape is the
world?”
Billy, looking very wise and happy,
beamed on her with: “It’s in a ter
rible shape. Daddy says.”

WHO’S NEWS
THIS WEEK...
By Lemuel F. Parton
Proakauer
Leads Fight
on Fakers
Money Rolls
in From
u Stunts, Inc.'’
N EW YORK.—American magi
cian* aren’t doing so well.
There are leaks, lawsuits and lam
entations. In California, there is a
drive to oust Juli-
Leaks Are en J. Proskauer,
Plaguing New York head of
Magicians the Society of
American Magi
cians, for spilling trade secrets. Mr.
Proskauer enters a vehement and
vigorous denial.
In the New York federal court,
Horace Goldin charges that a tobac
co company has let everybody in on
his patented technique of sawing a
woman in two and therefore made
worthless the illusion out of which
he used to get $2,000 a week.
He brought the same suit for the
same amount against Victor A. Per
cy in 1923 and against a tobacco
company in 1933. There in war on
several fronts as the magicians fight
to safeguard non-illusory dollars.
“Sacrifices wealth to marry pret
ty proofreader” was a headline
when Julien J. Proskauer married
Miss Cornelia Grant in 1915. The
“wealth” was a big family printing
plant in New York city, but he didn’t
sacrifice it and is today vice presi
dent of the company.
He was elected president of the
magicians in 1935, as an amateur,
and he still keeps
his amateur stand
ing, a leader in
the fight against
frauds and fakers.
"We don’t want to deceive the
public; we only want to fool them,”
he said when he was elected. He
was the only amateur ever to do
Houdini’s underwater milk can es
cape. He broke a brace of ribs do
ing it, something which Messrs.
Eden, Delbos and Ribbentrop will
never do, and seems to think the
price was well paid.
A solid, stocky man of average
stature, running a big business be
hind hexagonal glasses which give
a keen glint to his eyes, Mr. Pros
kauer is apt to slip a visitor a
couple of red sponges to hold tight
in each hand and then make them
jump from one hand to the other or
disappear altogether, with the fists
tightly clenched.
Meeting the depression, he got up
“Stunts, Inc.,” rigging magical ad
vertising tricks,
and this year his
turnover is some
where around $1,-
000,000. He in
stalled in the firm Dexter Sinsa-
bough, who doubles in psychology
and philosophy. Mr. Sinsabough
gives a proposed new trick the psy
chological once-over and gauges the
popular reaction with astonishing
accuracy. The money rolls in.
“Stunts, Inc.” seems to have
started the trouble. Mr. Proskauer
insisted that he has spilled nothing
but “kid tricks,” and never under
any circumstance has or would re
lease a professional secret. He
doesn’t like the word “tricks,” as
applied to real magic. He says the
illusions are rather "experiments in
magic.”
He ha% a passion for such illu- '
sions, which, he says have been
“art and not trickery,” ever since
Moses threw the canes on the
ground and turned them into ser
pents. That, by the way, still seems
to be tops in magic.

\\THAT the well-dressed iron man
YV w m wear: black knee panjs,
green flannel shirt, yellow belt, and
a white arm band with a green
swastika. Such is
the latest fashion
note on the cos
tume of Corneliu
Zelea Codreanu’s
Iron Guard, which threatens to seize
Rumania.
M. Codreanu, most virulent anti-
Semite in Europe, has made a puz
zling alliance with the democrati
cally inclined Dr. Julius Maniu. He
is frank about his desire to help
clear the way for Germany’s march
to Mosul oil and the Ukraine.
“Within 48 hours of my party’s
achieving victory, Rumania will
have concluded an alliance with
Berlin and Rome,” he says.
He is thirty-seven years old. In
1924, when he was a student in
Jassy university, he shot and killed
the prefect of police who suppressed
anti-Semitic riots. He was acquit
ted, and later was tried and freed
for alleged complicity in another as
sassination.
For years he has been gunning
for the Little Entente and has pow
er enough to force a cabinet shake-
up every once in a while. There’s
nothing trivial about his hatred of
Magda Lupescu, King Carol's
friend.
Dressed as above, with a revolver
in his belt, he leads his followers on
a white horse. They ride the coun
tryside, each with a little bag of
the “sacred soil of Rumania” tucked
in his shirt, fanning up the peas
ants and spoiling for a fight. His
following has been mainly made up
of university students, but they say
his Iron Guard is now recruiting
some powerful adult interests which
may declare him in in a big way.

A high school girl, seated next
to .a famous astronomer at a din
ner party, struck up a conversa
tion with him by asking, “What do
you do in life.”
He replied, “I study astron
omy.”
“Dear me,” said the girl, “I fin
ished astronomy last year.”
