That Wits the first time that the famous creator of "Bringing Up Father" drew public attention to his work. It was the first big crisis lu the rife of George McManus, who this month celebrates the jublloe of his internationally known comic charac*ters "Maggie and Jiggs." "I expucted a whale..jg?..a.. llrklng , trom ttie Schoool ma'am." said the cartoonist, "but apparently she felt that my dad could give me a sounder thrashing, and so she sent this bit or art, and a few others situ found in my desk, home. . "My dad was very quiet during dintier, _ and 1 fancied the strap would got a good workout Just before bedtime. Instead lie quietly usked: M>id you do that?' "I admitted it, und without a word, he wen^ jout of thy house. Next morn* lug my< father told me to got my hat and coat und go do'Wu to the -St. Louis Republic to work. lie.JuuL?lukon tho freckled faced drawing to the editor und it made u hit. 1 worked for u year at $5 a week, sweeping out the office, running errands and drawing. Finully 1 was rewarded with a dollar raise. That was more than thirty years ago, tand I have been drawing curtoons ever since." It was no meteoric1 cayeer on which McManus was launched. For several years George was the star errand boy of the Republic. During this time he was Improving his drawing, however, and when the opportunity presented itself, he stepped Into the shoes of the paper's fashion artist. Eventually he got a chance to draw cartoons and started a comic strip, "Alma and Oliver." How did McManus strike the popular cahracter of Jiggs and Maggie? It waB this way. Indelibly In his mind Bince childhood remained the picture of old BUI Barry, the best Irish comedian of his day. His dad I wan in the show business and George used to see Barry on the stage quite often. He remembered eVery detail of his play. The character portrayed by Barry is the Jiggs of today, and his wife Maggie is the same leading ac- j tress of the play. During all his comic cartooning career, McManus had had in his mind thy idea that a knockout strip could be created by using the idea behind "The Rising Generation," the play in* which he had watched Barry act time antl time again. In this popular drama the experiences of a laborer's family, suddenly become wealthy, were presented. The ideaj clicked with the powers that were and "Bringing Up Father" was born. "Jiggs" and "Maggie" now make millions laugh In both hemispheres. It is even published in China, Japan and Bouth America. Nearly 500 newspapers use the comics today. : ?Tho man?who^ is responsible for it is the highest paid comic artist in the world. He makes his home In Hollywood and is at his desk regularly every day. He enjoys the profession of amusing people. The intensity with which he works and plays is evident even when ho is taking his ease. His conversation is animated. His hands, so accustomed to the portrayal of every situation in life, amplify and give form to his words. Almost every description is accompanied by a sketch in the air. ODD ACCIDENTS' 1? a,? George H. Brinkley fell to his death fr6m a bombing plane flying near a California field when he accidentally released a bomb-ejector lever and thus opened a trap door in the cockpit beneath his feet. A worker on the big San Francisco bay bridge named Lawrence Steffans was instantly killed in attempting to catch a coll of wire tossed to him by a fellow worker. One of the loose ends entered liis mouth and pierced his brain. 1 . James Geelan, 60-year-old farmer, figures he Is the luckiest or unlucklost man in Iowa?depending on how you look at It. While recuperating from a recent auto accident he counted up and found he had averaged six accidents a year for the past 34 years. Milton Abbot, New York tennis professional, boasted he could knock a sparrow from the net stretched across the court. He banged away and the ball hit the bird. Two women students accused him of cruelty and stopped-taking lessons. A fall from a wooden picket fence had fatal results for a, little California lad, Murray Fisher, when he slipped and caught his neck between - the pickets. He was not found until too late for aid. j - p. Blades bought an armchair in a Maryland second-hand store for $1 And a few days later accidentally ripped the upholstery. When he removed the covering for repairs he found $840 in cash and a gold watch. TmrfaifinTgKt belw eeri two South c^piina negroes one of them drew a pistol and fired at his adversary. As often happens it was an innocent bystander who sot hurt. Will Collins, not involved 1n the quarrel, was struck in theeye bythe. feujiet. When an Indian* tenant thanked his landlord for painting hit house an investigation was made which repeal eft |ed'the"wrong houie^The pSiflndef. Mussolini's Bogey Is Surplus Population Mussolini. Italy'B Prime Minister, and war lord, hue undertaken to jus* llfy his attack oq Ethiopia ou the grounds thut Italy needs more territory as an outlet for Its surplus population. Although pursuing barbaric mttaiiH to attain thla ostensible end, reliable Information shows that the sympathy he haa gained from oar-, tain quarters on these grounds la uot justifiable. The World Almanac discloses some interesting data on socalled surplus populations. For example, Italy Is shown to have an average density of 349 persons to the square mile. Qermany, which makes a slmtlur complaint and which also jy under the rule of a dictator, hus an averuge population of 360 to the Bquaro mile; and Japan, which justifies yts imperial policy in China on the same grounds, hus 433 to the square mile. On the other hand, umong the nations with high averages and not coinplaining ur?> the Netherlands with a ' population of 610 to, the squuro mile,' Belgium with 698, and England with the amazing averuge of 742, more than ' twice thut of Italy, and more than | that of Italy and Germany combined ' If any American's sympathetic faculties have been captured by Mussolini's alleged reason for invading Ethiopia, he will find in our own country the following states with a far greater average deuslty of population than that of Italy: -Massacluf-1 setts with 528, New Jersey with 537 . and Rhode Island with 644. For population outlets from these states of great relative density, we have the vast undeveloped spaces of j the West and Southwest, and recent- . ly Alaska, which the Federal Government Is offering inducements to | settle. England, with the most dense population in Europe, likewise has vast colonel areas, sparsely populated and possessing splendid natural resources awaiting the magic touch of ittdustry. Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands, too, have colonial possessions. One wonders, In the light of these facts, why any ratlonally-mlnded person can swallow the Italian Dictator's bogey of surplus population as a justification of his attack upon Ethiopia. Two Cherokee Indian youths, neither of whom can speak English, pleaded guilty In Federal court at Bryson City, N. C., ?\iis week of killing Wesley Driver, 64, an elder of their tribe, because he bettered them in a blowgun contest, In which the stake was six ce.uts. Walker Calhoun, eldest of the young killers, was sentenced to serve ten years in Atlanta and Allen Long, his companion, watr sentenced to eighteen months at Chillicothe, Ohio. ' * Mjs.
