ADVENTURERS* CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI « A Dog’s Life H ello everybody; Today’s Distinguished Adventurer didn’t write his own story. He can neither read nor write. That, of course, is nothing new in the realm of adventure. Plenty of great adventurers couldn’t as much as sign their own names, but that didn’t stop them from getting into tight spots or from living lives that were packed full of thrills and danger. And it’s the thrills and the danger we want in this column. I don’t give a whoop how well you can write, or whether you can write at all. The writing part of it is my job, and all I want you boys and girls to do is give me the facts. Write ’em down on an old piece of wrapping paper, or if you can’t write, get some body else to write ’em down for you. That’s what today’s Distinguished Adventurer did. His name, by the way, is Jip. He is one-half foxhound and one- half pointer, and he’s one of the best aU-around bird and rabbit dogs in the state of Illinois. Jip’s boss, Newton Belgum, of Chicago, sent me all the dope about Jip’s adventure. Newt raised Jip from a pup, and he was right there when things began to happen. It was on a cold day in December, 1933, and Newt and Harry Russell and Frank Blackford were off on a hunting trip along the Kaskaskia river near Sullivan, 111. Newt, of course, had Jip with him. After Breakfast They Started for the River. They arrived in Sullivan about four o’clock in the morning, had break fast and started for the river. It was a bitter cold morning, with the mer cury down to five below. Newton was hunting through a cornfield, when suddenly he heard a yell that came from the river. There was Jip,. swirling about In the icy water. He had be come thirsty and started out to get a drink, bnt the thin ice near the edge had broken and he had fallen in. The three men stood on the bank and looked helplessly at one another. There wasn’t a thing they could do for Jip, so they stood watching on the bank while the game little animal did his best to help himself. The current was strong at that spot. Already it had carried him down from some point farther up the river. Now it was tugging at the poor And then Newt had another idea, firing at the ice. He loaded his gun and began little animal, trying to pull him away from the bank and whirl him out into the stream. Gamely, Jip tackled the ice with his paws. He broke it for about five feet toward shore, but he couldn’t climb up on it when it became too thick to break. Again and again the current pulled him out. Each time he managed to swim back. But already he had been in that icy water for 10 minutes, and he couldn’t keep on fighting that current forever. And all that time, Newt, standing up on the bank, was going through a hell that was almost as bad as the one his dog was fighting. “Each time Jip fought his way back to the little cut he had made in the ice,” Newt says, "he would look up at us with appeal ing eyes, as if he were trying to say, ‘For God’s sake, save me!’ "By this time I was bewildered and desperate. I wanted to try to go ont on the ice, bat the other fellows told me it wonld be suicide and reminded me that I had three daughters at home depending on me. “As I stood there, watching him fight for his life, 1 felt as though the Whole world was going to pieces. To Frank and Harry I said, ‘Fellows, he’s done for, and I can’t go home without him.’ They Started to Gather Up the Dead Branches. “Finally I hit on an idea. We started gathering up all the dead branches we could find and throwing them into the water, hoping the current would drive them back of my dog, giving his hind legs some thing to kick against and enabling him to climb up on the ice.” But that idea of Newt’s didn’t work. The current was in .r.e wrong direction. Jip had been in the water for 15 minutes by that time. "There was iee on his eyebrows and nose,” Newt says. “I couldn’t stand it any longer so I went back and got my shotgun. I was going to shoot him and put him out of his misery, but my friends stopped me—told me not to shoot him as long as he had a fighting chance.’’ And then Newt had another idea. He loaded his gun and began firing at the ice! Jip was out in the stream again, fighting his way back. The first shot ripped out a chunk of ice, lengthening the cut Jip had already started. Newt fired again—and again—and then the other two men got the idea. Newt was blasting a channel in the ice so the dog could swim closer to the bank! They picked up their own guns and started to help. They cat that channel almost to the shore. Jim swam into it, bnt still he couldn’t get his hind legs np on the ice. Then Newt had another idea. All three men fired at once at the iee on the upstream side of the dog. That did the trick. A big, triangular piece of iee, half sunken in the water, floated down and got un der Jip’s hind legs, and Jip kicked himself np to safety. They called Jip down to a spot where the bank was lower, and then went and got him. The poor pup was all in. His tail was frozen stiff by an icicle. He was cut and bleeding, and there was ice on his face and ears. Newt put his coat around him and rubbed him until he could stand up. He carried him to a gully where he’d be out of the wind. As he set him down, out jumped a rabbit from a brush patch a few feet away. “And when Jip got through chasing that rabbit,” says Newt, "he was O. K. again.” (Released by Wegtc- n Newspaper Union.) Bowler Hat, or ‘Derby,’ Designed by Farmer The bowler hat, known in this country as the derby, got its Brit ish name through having first been made more than 60 years ago by William Bowler of St. Swithin’s lane to the design of a Norfolk farmer. The bowler or derby is popular in Britain and has many adherents here. The bowler is a symbol of solidity. The high silk hat repre sents lofty social standing. John Hetherington invented the “topper” in London some 140 years ago. When he first wore it he was arrested for inciting a riot; the complaint was made that timid persons were frightened by its sheen. A century ago a Frenchman, Antoine Gibus, contributed the opera hat spring. This is the only successful mechan ical device in the hat business, and the inventor’s family receives roy alties from it. High hats are all made by hand. ‘America,’ Largest U. S. Boat, Is Launched at Newport News f I/Ll' IS is the proudest day in J American maritime history. On that day the “America,” new flag ship for the United States lines and largest liner to be built in this country, slides down the ways at Newport News. How is a modern steamship built? These pictures tell the story. Above: Scale drawings of each plate on the “Ameri ca” were made on a 15- foot working model of the hull. These models were used in making full-size patterns of the plates. Right: The man who welds the plates electrically. Note his Martian - looking hel met, leather outersleeves and heavy gauntlets, which protect him day after day from the fierce heat of his welding apparatus. Finally, the christening and launching of the finished vessel. Scheduled- to enter service next spring, the “America” is 723 feet long, 93 fret in the beam and 75 feet deep from the promenade deck. It will accommodate 1,219 passen gers in all three classes, and a crew of 639. wm 1 i Star Dust ★ So On Through Life it Rudy in Another Role A 1 Ingenious Quiz Program By Virginia Vale I T BEGINS to look as if those girls who made “Four Daughters” what it was (with the aid of John Garfield), have a life-time job. They appear again in the new “Daughters Courageous” with him, and will shortly make “Four Wives.” The studio had intended to have them do “Four Mothers” as the next of the series, but now the wives will come first. Of course, they could go on forever, becoming grandmothers, widows, and then possibly “Four GALE PAGE Second Wives.” Just see what you, the public, started when you ac claimed the three Lane sisters and Gale Page in that first picture! —*— In case you’re interested in that picture Samuel Goldwyn has been making, bringing Jascha Heifetz to the screen, the title has been changed again. “Music School” has been abandoned in favor of “They Shall Have Music,” which is going to be a bit harder on the men who fit the names of pictures into thea ter marquees. —*— When yon see Brian Aherne in “Juarez”—if yon haven’t already seen him—yon might pretend that you’re a movie mogul and study his perform anee with the ides of of fering him the role of “Christopher Columbus” in the movie version of that famous Italian’s life. That’s what Edward Small did. On second thought, maybe you’d better not bother. For it would be a shame to do anything that would take your mind off the grand picture that Aherne, Paul Muni and Betto Davis made together. “Juarez” de. serves all your attention. * For a long time it seemed likely that Rady Vallee wonld be remem bered as the man who started the “crooner” wave that swept over the country. Now it seems far more likely that he’ll be famous as the fellow who discovered and devel oped more celebrities than anybody else. Tommy Riggs, Edgar Bergen, Bob Bums—they’re just three qut of a list of more than one hundred radio celebrities who owe their fame to the chance that he gave them. —*— Those quiz programs, in one form or another, seem likely to go on forever, which is bad news for all the singers whom they have crowd ed off the airways. One of the newest and most in genious is that presided over by the two writers of mystery stories who sign their output “Ellery Queen.” It’s known as “The Adventures of Ellery Queen.” Each week a mys tery story is dramatized, with Mr. Queen and four guest detectives lis tening. As soon as Queen knows who the murderer is be stops the play, and each guest is asked to give his solution of the mystery. Then the dramatization is re sumed and the author’s solution given. It’s lots of fun to follow from your own arm chair. —*— One of the radio singers for whom quiz programs bold no threats is Felix Knight, who’s just had an other renewal of his contrset on that hsif-hour preceding the Vallee show. He appeared on it for one guest appearance, something like 84 weeks ago, and has been a regu lar ever sinee. *— Lum and Abner are going back to their old home in Arkansas this summer, partly for a vacation, partly to make sure that they haven’t lost their accents (as if they could!) and the home folks are be ginning now to prepare a proper celebration. —*— ODDS AND ENDS—“Tartan Finds • Son,” with little Johnny Sheffield as the son, is a lot of fun, and just about the time it teas released Maureen O’Sullivan, who plays “Tarzan’s” mate, was celebrat ing the birth of her first baby . . .
