‘Hoosier Vagabond -

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 18.—The next time you see a

. peridremophile walking down the street, I wish you'd blow. your siren and ask him where he thinks he’s "going. ‘He will most likely answer, “Where do you suggest?” And gio matter where you say, the peridromophile will run to the nearest depot and buy a ticket for that place. For a peridromophile is a person who collects tickets on ve.hicles of locomotion—such as busses, trains, streetcars, airplanes, steamships, etc. The leading proponent of peridromophily in these parts is Capt. Herbert J. Reinohl. He used to live in San Diego but now lives in Los Angeles, 135 miles away. When friends telephoned ! : him and said I'd like to write a column about him, he said fine, he'd come to San Diego on the next bus! accommodating. But from. Capt. Reinohl’s standpoint, it gave him a chance ‘to collect another bus ticket. And he needed it badly. For he had only 100,000 of them already.

Capt. Reinohl is 50 and has been collecting {ransportation tickets since he was a little shaver in London. He and his brother, who still lives in London, are the ‘champion peridromophiles of the world. There is no one who can even approach their 100,000 tickets. The nearest is a Dr. Friederich Hottersdorf, in Munich, who has about 40,000.

Publish Own Magazine hh

There are possibly 100 fanatical ticket collectors in America, while the casual collectors may run up to 10,000. They have a society, and put out a monthly magazine, and trade tickets back and forth. The Reinohl brothers had the ticket imania\ as children. By the time of the World War their collection was spectacular. Both brothers were in the war. Albert, the brother in London, lost a leg. He is a postal worker. Herbert,

THE POSTOFFICE PEOPLE pull off stunts nowadays that leave you simply bewildered. The other. day, for instance, they received a letter with nothing

> more ‘to identify it than the cryptic address “To the

Principal of Emmerich High School.” And forthwith, without receiving help from anybody, they delivered it to E. H. Kemper McComb. Inside the envelope was the following message: “Under separate. cover I am sending you a little . book of mine, lately published, entitled ‘First Aid to Pic-: torial Composition,’ which, with your permission, I should like to donate to the library of your Art Départment, in-memory of the pleasant days (some 40 years ago) when I received my first serious instruction there. The principal, Mr. Emmerich, that gentle martinet with his fine leonine head and reassuring smile, the teachers with whom he was surrounded, and especially Otto Stark, my kind and able instructor, were all very helpful to me then, and my very dear friends. My recollection of them, and the Manual Training High School, as it was then called, is among the pleasantest of ot my life. If you will be so good as’ to accept this small offering as a token of my sincere regard and esteem, L should be Soe oliged. 3?

Finds Old Sketches

Soon as he read the letter, Mr. McComb remem‘pered that when he came to teach at Manual, he found some sketches done by a kid, one Walter Jack Duncan, who went to Manual from 1896 to 1899, just a little too early for Mr. McComb to meet him. The ‘sketches were made for some of his English teachers —no doubt Beatrice Foy and Violet Demree—and turned out to be pictures illustrating the ‘thoughts of

Washington

« WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—As an ironic footnote on the ill-fated attempt to enlarge the Supreme Court, President Roosevelt now is about to make his fifth appointment, which will mean a Roosevelt-appointed numerical majority of the nine-man Court. Among all of his headaches, Mr. Roosevelt has had none more persistent than the Supreme Court. Throughout the formative period of the New Deal, when the alphabetical legislation was being drafted, the Roosevelt law writers were always conscious of the nine black-robed men. All the ingenuity of which the braintrust draftsmen were capable was employed in devising legal lany guage that might escape the Su- : preme Court ax.‘ Buf; as was seen two years: later, to no avail, President Roosevelt was up against a Court composed of men a majority -of whom had little personal sympathy with his most cherished measures and who disposed of them by strict construction of Constitutional language. Usually a minority of the Court found precedents on the other side. Time and again, members of the Court divided in their opinions according to their economic predilections, as Justice Stone put it in a sharp criticism of some of his brethren. And for the . most part, the majority of the Court had predilections hostile to what Mr. Roosevelt was doing. : ThE 8

Museum to Get Collection

The brother ‘in London keeps the bulk of the Capt. Reinohl|

tickets, which are in 82 big volumes. has only 10,000 here in the States. The brothers have no idea how much they have spent on the collection. But it can’t be a fabulous amount, for neither is rich. The first thing people ask them is, “How much is your collection worth?” But they don’t feel that way about it at all. They don’t want to put a monetary value on it. So, to avoid this, they have given the whole thing away. Both have sigmed a deed, turning it over after their deaths to the British Government. The Institute of Transport has set aside funds for a special building to house it. Naturally. the brothers haven't paid their fare apd made a trip for every ticket in their collection. People send them tickets by the hundreds. The name of the ticket collectors’ assoeiation is the Peridromophilic Society. Broken down from the Greek, the word is as follows: “peri”—around Oo about; “dromos”’—run or route, and “philos”—friend. And underneath their coat of arms is a Latin inscription, “Ignoti Nulla Cupido,” which means “For a Thing Unknown There ¥s No Desire.” Put all those together now and show them to a streetcar conductor, and I'll bet he calls a cop.

Sir Walter Scott and Geoffrey Chaucer which he had read in their classes. The Duncan sketches so. impressed Mr. McComb that when he got to be head of the English Department, he used them to inspire other kids to try their hands at the same thing. Since receiving the mysteriously-addressed letter, Mr. McComb has also dug up the 1899 Annual in which are decorations and illustrations by Duncan— work that nobody. not even Duncan, need be ashamed of today, says Mr. McComb. Incidentally, in that same issue are drawings by Bob Wildhack, Allen McCorkle, Emma Klanke, A. Matzke and Harry E. Wood, now art director for the city schools. And.from what I have picked up on the side I know that Simon Baus and Glenn Coleman were also in Manual at the time. 2 ” »

Concerning the Author

Walter Jack Duncan, it appears, left Manual to enter the Art Students’ League of New York. Later when he became a distinguished illustrator on the leading magazines of the country, he returned to the League—this time as: an instructor of Drawing and Composition. During the World War (the first one), he was commissioned Captain of Engineering, Official Artist of the A. E. F., in which capacity he participated in all the major campaigns. After that, he picked up where he left off. His last work I remember seeing was his S hangup dob of illustrating Carl Sandburg’s

road ibis. Mir Diinoan; has Whitten, ft 18 quité the nicest thing to come my way this week. For one thing, it reminded me of that glorious period in American Art, of which Mr. Duncan was a vital part, when we bought magazines just as much for their pictures as for their stories. Indeed, the pictures were so good that they cleared up everything, even to the point of allowing me to do some skipping without losing track of the story. That's the sign of a good illustrator. It took Mr. Duncan two years to write his book and 40 years to get ready for it. It was worth waiting for, you bet.

questions susceptible of either interpretation under the Constitution. Mr. Roosevelt had made his direct attack on the Court and was trying to induce Congress to enlarge it so that he might create a liberal majority. During this crisis Chief Justice Hughes and Associate Justice Roberts saved the situation by contributing to decisions favorable to New Deal legislation. The bottom fell out of the court fight when it was seen that the Court was disposed to render more liberal decisions. That was all that was at issue, and although Mr. Roosevelt chose to continue pressing for his Court Enlargement Bill, Congress considered the fight cover and killed the measure, os i" =

The Black Appointment

Then came the appointment of Hugo Black, whose former alleged connection with the Ku-Klux Klan stirred the bitterness anew. Mr. Roosevelt apparently had-had enough. For thereafter he named Stanley Reed, Prof. Felix Frankfurter and W. O. Douglas, all men of liberal philosophy but of such personal and professional attainments that none evoked any opposition worth noting. Now Justice Pierce Butler, a consistent unbending conservative, is gone, a good lawyer but rigid in his construction of the Constitution. Only one more is left—Mr. McReynolds. ” The first guess is that Attorney General Frank Murphy will fill the new vacancy. Justice Butler was the only Catholic on the Court and was appointed from Minnesota. Mr. Murphy is a Catholic and is from Michigan. There the parallels end, for the two men have stood at opposite poles in political philosophy. ' So perhaps Mr. Roosevelt will preserve the “religious and geographical distribution on the Court, since by doing so he can throw one more voice in on the liberal side of the balance. Anyway, Mr. Roosevelt can now at last have the kind of Court he has always wanted—thanks to the hand of time.

Britons Know

How to Apply Dignified Touch

(Last of a Series) By George Britt

Times Special Writer

TEW YORK, Nov. 18.— The great British propaganda offensive, rain--ing down sweet reasonable-: ness upon Germany, like manna from heaven, at the rate of 18,000,000 leaflets dropped the first three weeks of the war, has been duly saluted by a sedate:

British joke.

The officer in charge of the bomber, says the fale, noticed a man tossing out his leaflets by the bundle, without cutting the cord and permitting them to scatter over the eneiny. He remonstrated, “You mustn’t throw out those big heavy packets like that; first thing you know they’li hurt somebody”

Plenty of spoofing and a load of criticism has greeted the British propaganda. The Scottish lawyer, Lord Hugh P. MacMillan, was appointed chief propagandist with

tion on Sept. 4—the day after war was declared. It needed on.y three weeks for: Lord Beaverbraok's Evening Standard to make the bitter complaint that his propaganda was “unprintable trash.”

The ranting little Nazi house organ from Yorkville, the Weck= ° ruf, had a nightmare on Oct. 12 over “30,000 British propagandists . . . operating in the United States. ns But it must be recorded calmly that no one else has seen them in any such strength. The ‘British lecturer is among us, to be sure, as a seasonal migration. Four or five dozen of them may be expected to tour the women’s cluh circuit, and it is .a bet that they

will do no offense to the concept

of hands across the sea. Lord Beaverbrook was here for about a week early in October, and he lunched with the President. : The year’s great propagandists for the British Empire, and hard-. ly by accident, were the King and Queen.

WPA PLAY PROGRAM USED BY 1,300,000

‘The hundreds of activities sponsored throughout the State by the ‘WPA recreation division dréw’ an attendance of 1,365,714 persons during October, WPA Administrator John K. Jennings reported today. This included, he explained, 908,-

691 participants in recreational activities and 457,023 spectators. The most popular activities. last month were sports and other physical recreation, with a total attendance of 586,458. More than 200,000

attended the game room activities,

while - 125,907 visited the various craft centers.

During the ‘month, Mr. Jennings said, 54 persons employed on the recreation program resigned to take private employment.

The ink had been drying. only 10 days on the disastrous Munich pact when it was announced in. London that the royal pair would visit North America in the spring. - This was propaganda. at its best. Its effect was puplicity in volume and warmth of priceless value to the British Empire, and in the minds of the American people it left the. most friendly. personal feelings. * » tJ ” HE British Pavilion at the World's Fair was dfother opportunity seized which Dr. Goebbels might envy. There have been British exhibits which might have come straight out of Kipling. American fairs heretofore have seen the glorification of the Boer , War, the imperial celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and much about the white man’s burden. But not this time! For their main exhibit in the World of Tomorrow, the British unveiled the historic Magna Carta, more than seven centuries old and the charter of our liberties as well as theirs. The crowds stepped upon a dais to

"approach the Magna Carta under

a red velvet canopy. The whole experience suggested some solemn ceremony, as one turned away his eyes were caught by the large gold letters on the back wall, spelling

yout “Democracy.”

The British attitude in the present war has been. that direct press-agentry for its cause was not required. As Lord MacMillan said: “We are content with Herr Hitler as our propagandist, and no one could be)more efficient. We prefer that in the case of the United States the facts should speak for themselves.” For six. years past Herr Hitler

has been casting himself in the °

role of villain, and no British propagandist could dream of more useful material than he has provided: Czechoslovakia, . Austria, Poland, the antics of the GermanAmerican Bund, the Nazi spy trials here a year ago. And finally the Nazi-Soviet alliance. With news of this sort streaming rapidly out of Berlin the British propagandist needn’t worry

From the garage the flames went to: the home of James L. Petty, a onestory frame house at 5954 University Ave., next door. Then the fire skipped back to Mrs. Skinner's house, a two and a half-story frame dwelling. Mrs.’ Skinner reported $500 damage ‘and Mrs. Petty reported $300 dam-’ age. No one was injured.

HE movies, as in World War No. 1, have not been neglected as a propaganda source. The news film of the gunboat Panay bombed by Japanese. planes in the Yangtze River two years - ago was as good a reminder as anyone needs of the power of pictures to upset the emotions. After seeing the Japanese sink that gunboat, which was flying the American flag, with American: sailors’ under fire but fighting back and later. earrying their wounded through the bamboo swamps, the average American left the theater in a mood to punch the first Japanese he met. If the government had wanted to drum up a war a few exploitation stunts “with the ‘Panay film should have been enough. Moving pictures were worked hard in 1917 and 1918, although Allied propaganda of this sort was largely censored out of sight. But" as soon as the United States enlisted Hollywood started whooping things up.. By July, 1917, there were EE patriotic dramas’ on view, “Claws of the Hun” and “The Slacker.” : The following March appeared: “The Kaiser—the Beast of Berlin” “The Hun Within” and “The Yellow Dog.” It sounded the other: day as if history had put on the same old record again when the papers told of a current Hollywood quickie, *“Hitler—Beast of Berlin,” on which the New York censor had slammed the door.

THE French staff showed its

perception of values recently when it announced the recall of “Charles Boyer, the Hollywood thrill, from the ranks of the army. He is to be sent on a mission to the United States, it Was said, without ‘bothering to add that he could -fight more effectively for France before the camera.

In Sidney Rogerson’s sensation-ally-received “Propaganda in the Next War,” one of the most practical suggestions. was for dealing with American _ correspondents. He advised the -army to see that they were given every faeility- for observing and reporting, and that their messages are censored sympathetically.” “Similarly with their news-reel men,” he added, “they should be the first to be allowed to ‘shoot’ , Pletyres of air raids, in order that . Proper volume of pictorial ‘horror -will be available in one “of tHe few great countries where

L “atrocity propaganda’ will still be

operative.”

Judging by performance since

the war started, the book found its readers, ‘but® not. among the British. It is the Germans who have profited from the advice. Their pictorial coverage of the war, both still and movie, “has been superb and it has been loaded with a propaganda message. The Germans have not opened the door to independent and neuttal cameramen, but they have assigned their own photographers in profusion, with the result that most “of the war pictures have been : just what Dr. Goebbels wanted to appear. They have been the livest, most dramatic and highest in human interest of any shots from the war. “Passed by the German Censor” has been the caption tag on
