THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1930 i ¥ I I The Big All this happened in one day! A twenty-^ree-year-old boy came into our office to apply for a job. When we asked him atwut his present occupation he said he was a* parachute jumper. “I like the work all rifht,” he add ed, “but parachute jumping isn’t steady.” I met a mother whose son is about to graduate from college. WTiat do you think he wants |tp be? A bond salesman ? A movie star ? He wants to be an archeologist. A man named Volk died in New York City. He claimed the distinction of having torn down more big build ings than any other man who ever lived. But he died without realizing his ambition. He wanted to live to tear down the Woolworth building. Think of it. Six million people walk ing daily through the streets, each with his separate home and desire. Who would ever imagine that one of them was constantly saying to him self: “Oh, if I could only tear down the Woolworth building. That would crown my career.” » A man with a noisy wife and seven grown children disappeared from his home in Brooklyn, and was discovered Parade some months later in Hartford. Ques tioned as to why he left his family, he replied that he had done his duty as a father and believed himself entitled to a little peace ip his old age. He had taken a job as a night watchman in a deaf and dumb asylunu. Why do I take up valuable white space to set down these apparently unimportant and unrelated incidents? Because, my friends, one of the big gest and least expensive of all "pleas ures is reading the newspaper and marveling at the eternal freshness and varity of the human race. Let those who are bilious rail at the “standardization of modem life.” It is tnie that many of the things we eat and use are standardized, and living is much simplified in consequence. But have no fear that color and interest will “ disappear out of the world. Every baby has in him some Kt'tle spark that makes him different fr<^m ever>’ other. ~ Life will be alw'ays amusing to those who have senSe enough to enjoy it. Practice the good and inexpensive hab it of being eternally entertained by your fellow human beinns. Forget about yourself for a little while every day, and enjoy the big parade.

KNIGHT. concludes in this survey, prepared for the National Bi*oadcasting company. These figures, and others of equal interest and significance, were reveal ed for the first time by Frank A. Ar nold, director of development of the NBC, in a speech before the broad casting advertising group of the Ad vertising Federation of America, in conveation here. The survey covers the entire United States, according to Mr. Arnold and was obtained by individual canvass of 18,024 families. From this group, scientifiaally lo cated by cross sections of the country, were obtained for the first time basic facts and figures on radio, he said. " Of the nearly 12,000,000 families having receiving sets, the survey showed that 87 per cent listen in two hours or more dail^,'or an average of 850 hours a year.^ Broken down into “guaranteed evening_audiences” the survey revealed that every'evening of the week more than 7,000,000 people listen all the time. Facts about the most popular kinds of programs and the most popular hours at which people tune in, also were gathered, Mr. Arnold told hi.s audience. Popularity of sponsored programs was reflected, he said, since SI per cent of the families canvassed preferred feature programs mainly of light music. As to the most popular hours, however, he declared there was a natural conflict of opinion, ascrib- able to occupations of families, their geographical location, social demands, and the like. But by far the maximum of listening takes place between 8 and 10 p. m., while the noon hour and the dinner hour bring about an equal number of responses. Farmers espec ially make practical use of the period from noon to 2 p. m. Conclusive proof that the DX or distance seeking fad is waning was furnished by Dr. Starch’s survey which showed that 73 1-2 per cent of the receiving set pwners are content to tune in regularly to one or two fa vorite stations. eliminated in the first round.

The first victory was taken from Mississippi A. & M. to the tune of 10-0, and the second was caputrod from Louisiana State university by a score of 10-3.

What Do P. S. JEANES Do? Backache Christopher Columbus Was Traveling Salesman, Not An Explorer. Waa Freckled and 100% Dry. Paris, Jttl^ ^.wM^JIucietopher Colum bus had frebk'tak and n dimple in his chiiu wna n strict vegetarian^ a lOG per cent dry who drank only water flavored with sugar and orange-flow ers, and had hte habit of sprinkling himself with perfumes, particularly attar of roses and odor of black cur rants. That is the picture of Dr. Jean Charcot of the Institute of France, famed himself as an explorer in Polar waters, has drawn of the hardy navi gator after nearly a lifetime study of -he history of Columbus. In the opinion of Dr. Charcot, Co lumbus was not an explorer, but a traveling 8ale.sman, who had been sent often, by the government to buy sugar in African isles and to sell Spanish and Portuguese goods. Dr. Charcot pictures Columbus as a kind father and perfect gentleman. He never swore, beyond an occasional “By San Frenando.” “There were times when his inti mate life was not exactly virtuous and there were times whn his hand was' beftsy. Jbut- in all he wag a clean,, te- ligious man,” Dr. Charcot said. “We know now that he was taller than the average, had a long face and a long acquiline nose. His dimpled chin portrayed strength of character. His cheeks were like red apples, but his grey eyes were wells of emotion. His whole face was freckled, and by thirty, his hair was gray. “Columbus was one of the first vegetarians in history, living on fruits and vegetables, and he never drank alcoholic drinks. His folly for per fumes was his only bad habit, and it must have been disagreeable to share the wardroom with a man who doused himself with attar of roses. “He was above all else, modest and never had an exaggerated opinion of himself. He did not even claim to be a savant, but he had a robust opinion of his own sea qualities. He was prob ably less perfect than his admirers picture him, and better than his de- tractros would portray him. “Even if he had not discovered America, he would have gone down into history as the admiral who had given the hammock to ships, and ever since his day seamen have slept at ngiht in that sort of bed.” If functional Bladder Irritation disturbs your sleep, causes Burning or Itching Sensation, Backache or Leg Pains, making you feel tired, depressed and discouraged, why not try the Cystez 48 Hour Test?
