,11, ISLAM, OL’ KID!

West, East to Meet, Says Pasha

BY RALPH HEINZEN, United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1929, by United Press) MARRAKESH, Morocco, Feb. 22.—The east and the west will meet some day, but not in this generation, in the belief of El Hadj Thami El Glaoui, pasha of Marrakesh, caid of Glaoui, and great seigneur of Atlas. El Hadj, who is, second in power only to the sultan in Islam, expressed the views of his people and himself toward westernization of the old age customs of the east in.the first interview he has ever given to the press. Thoughts of inevitable change saddened El Hadj somewhat as he led the correspondent through his immense palace, past bolted harem doors and barred windows.

El Hadj does not know how many women stay behind the harem' doors. Constant change through gifts from lesser princes and expulsions for minor infractions of harem rules 'keep the number changing. Has Enormous Palace About three hundred concubines besides four legitimate wives dwell in the harem at present. There are fifteen legitimate children and between 180 and 200 children of the concubines. El Hadj is an implicit believer in the Koran’s teaching that every man is entitled to marry as many women as he can support. And since the pasha has an enormous palace, reminiscent of an “Arabian Nights” tale, and inestimable wealth, he is able to do as he wishes. The pasha is a warrior, one of the greatest in Islamic history. He has power of life and death over 4,000,000 people and supreme power in half of Morocco. Rebuke to Tourists El Hadj is not a man of wide learning as westerners consider knowledge. He never heard of America until the World war, but he formed his opinion of it shortly afterward when two American tourists gained admission to his presence.

When one of the tourists was ready to leave he pressed a SIOO bill into the pasha’s dark hand. El Hadj summoned a slave and demanded a pair of scissors. He carefully cut Franklin’s picture from the bill and threw the rest away. “It is a pretty picture of a good philosopher,” the pasha said to the tourists.. “I will keep it, but I do not want ths rest.” The pasha admitted to this correspondent he had learned that Franklin was an American only a short while before the incident. “Until the World war I never heard of America, but I know you fought for France, so you are welcome,” he said. ‘Tell Americans they can come to Morocco in security. We never harm a guest.” Devoted to France Morocco has been under a French protectorate since the World war. El Hadj believes the protectorate has been of great benefit to his country and is fond of the French. He drew a favorable picture of the present industry and prosperity of his people in comparison with preprotectorate days. But his devotion to the French and his regard for other occidentals has not convinced him that their customs are better than his. “Undoubtedly the day will come when the eastern world will accept the ways of the western, but, personally, I believe the time will not come in our generation,” he said. “It takes a long time to destroy traditioh.

theories but they are not ready yet. “It will come only when our children are sent out to study in the universities of the world and come back convinced of the superiority of western methods.” FRAT PLANS DINNER Delta Upsilion President to Be Guest.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1929

By XEA. Service • NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 22.—A pink-cheeked, boyish youngster of 21 recently took a job at a hilling station here, and in a short time had the customers and his fellow employes talking about .him because he never would accept a tip. , He was a willing worker. He was always courteous and cheerful and he didn’t mind getting oil and grease on his clothing and in his haij - , but no customer could force him to accept any extra money. So they stated looking into tht matter—and they found that the obliging young man in overalls was Donald Stewart, son of Colonel Robert W. Stewart of Standard Oil of Indiana. The elder Stewart is worth, at a guess, about $100,000,000, and perhaps that explains why the younger man won’t take tips.

FORD RAZZED FOR GOLF RAP Game’s Safety Is Upheld by City and State Health Chiefs. “I personally believe golf is causing more heart trouble among men than anything I know of. Men drag over a golf course and don’t get a bit of benefit from It.” —Henry Ford. Oh, what a “razz” they’re giving Henry Ford in Indianapolis! In golf clubs, indoor schools, at luncheons and clubs the “blurb” of the eminent motorcar manufacturer on the futility of golf as an exercise is receiving the raucous horse laugh. The call to arms against the onslaught on the links game has brought physicians who cry “fore” to the fore in defense of the Scottish pastime. “Mr. Ford,” said Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the city board of health, “may know a lot about motorcars, but he’s not qualified to speak: cn the mechanism of the human body.” It s Health Insurance Dr. Morgan added to his handing ‘of a silver-plated “dumb-bell” to Ford with: “Golf is the best form of health insurance I know of. If his statement were true, there’d be nothing left for a man past 40 years to play except dominoes and tiddle-de-winks.” Joining with Dr. Morgan in handing Ford’s latest diatribe the handcarved kidney beans is Dr. William F. King, secretary of the state board of health, with the assertion that golf demands less physical exertion than any other sport. From the golf professional’s viewpoint, Ford is decidedly “vericht,” for Harry Schopp, professional at South Grove course says: “He’s got a foggy old idea. Why, I’ve got aged men playing out here with heart trouble under the orders of doctors and it’s not harming them — it’s building them up.” Pro Answers Henry Although Ray Clark, professional, acknowledges that golf is a heart stimulant, due to its exciting influences, he ventures the opinion that a man can get “just as excited playing a game of checkers or chess.” “To a certain number of people golf might be harmful, but there are exceptions to all rules and Ford is trying to make the exceptions the rule. “Golf is just walking—and surely walking isn’t strenuous on the heart except in extreme cases,” declares Dick Roop, professional.

So an interviewer went forth to question him and find out about it all. After all, a filling station job means hard work, long hours and plenty of dirt and grease; why should the potential heir to SIOO,000,000 take it on voluntarily? * tt THAT question was answered easily. Donald Stewart aims to learn the oil business—as it applies to marketing the finished product. To do this he has to start at the bottom, and that, in the oil business, means the very bottom—underneath some travelstained car, draining the sludgy oil. This wasn’t suggested to him by his father. “I just knew It was expected of me,” he says. “It never occurred to me to try anything else.” So young Stewart, youngest of

FIRE CHIEF CELEBRATES 81 ST BIRTHDAY ON DUTY Cleveland Man Nears 60-Year Mark of Service. By United Press CLEVELAND, Feb. 22.—George A. Wallace, said to be the oldest active metropolitan fire chief in the United States, today was celebrating his 81st birthday on duty at the East Twelfth Chester avenue engine house. In May this year Chief Wallace will have completed sixty years of service in the Cleveland five department. Although eligible to retire on pension for the past thirty-five years he has resisted all presuasions to take advantage of that privilege.

SENATE WHIP PICKED Sheppard Will Be Leader of Democrats. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Senator Morris Sheppard, author of the eighteenth amendment ond one of the outstanding drys in congress, is slated to become Democratic whip of the senate when the party caucus is held next week. Sheppard says that he will accept the post if it is offered to him, but that he has not been campaigning for it. The Sheppard selection is believed to be prompted by a desire of the dry Democrats to show the country that support of Governor A1 Smith in the recent election did not mean that the party had turned wet. While it is considered a warning to the Smith element, it also is looked upon as a reward to Sheppard for having stayed regular and supported Smith despite Sheppard’s long dry record. ‘BLUE LAWS’ FAVORED Committee Recommends Fines for Sunday Dances. “Blue law” bills sponsored by Representative Joseph R.

He knew that he couldn’t be a good salesman unless he knew something firsthand about the filling station end of the business. So he put on overalls and went to it. The filling station didn’t start it, however. A year ago last summer he spent his vacation in Venezuela, where he got an acquaintance with the production end by studying prospectors, drillers, geologists and shipping men in the big fields of the Lago Oil & Transport Company —of which an elder brother is president. Then he returned to the University of Chicago to complete his education. ALL of this left him time for a hobby. When he left the university he went to a flying

school Donald Stewart learned every phase of fly'ng and now has a pilot’s license, although he has no intention of doing any commercial flying. “Aviation is growing so fast I think every young man should know how to fly,” he said. “Aviation is going to be a big factor in the oil business, so I wanted to know all about it.” His filling station experience hasn’t been the only phase of the distributing trade that he has tackled, either. For a time he drove an oil truck. He also worked in a refinery, standing in the laboratory with the chemists and learning how crude oil is turned into gasoline, paraffin, transmission grease and the like. And now he’s ready to start selling.

Turning to his well worn Bible, which lay conveniently near his massive desk, Sargent read the following verse to illustrate his philosophy of life: “Take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow will take thought for itself.” Amplifying his views, Sargent said he always believed it was best to do the job in hand without stopping to criticise conditions. “Take things as you find them and do your job to the best of your ability—that’s always been my philosophy,” Sargent said. u an • SARGENT said he could think of no single outstanding phase of his work in the justice department, but he suggested those outside the department could better judge what had been accomplished.

“I’m the only man in this department that doesn’t have to work,” he said with a twinkle in his blue eyes. As he spoke, Sargent puffed thoughtfully away on is ever-present pipe. Asked about his impression of Washington and official life, Sargent said he thought Washington a beautiful city and the federal government a marvelous gigantic machine. “But I don’t like to live In cities,” he added. To Attorney-General Sargent’s way of thinking, public office is an opportunity for public service and no cabinet member should be dissatisfied with the $15,000 salary he receives, though the work ranks' with that performed by executives of the nation’s larger corporations.
