The traveling show is on the road again and thiS time it seems to have a definit~ aim in mind. For, our well­known Maj. Edward Bowes is at the head of this crew and he's sending hundreds of talented unknowns to the top.

It began when everyone in America -and elsewhere-Sat patiently by the radio each Sunday night waiting for that friendly voice to "turn the wheel of fortune" or Hring the gong!" thus placing hundreds of talented folks in paying jobs on New York stages, where they could find or lose their career.

Now we not only hear these ama­teurs in our homes but, if we happen to be in the right town, they might be at the neighborhqod show on the stage, singing and dancing Major Bowes' good work right into our hearts. And if they don't pass our way while traveling over this large country of opportunity of ours, then we can see them on the screen with Major Bowes himSelf in a radio pro­gl·am brought to life.

Major Bowes has received from prominent people all over the world, many compliments for all this good work and, perhaps one with the deep­est and truest meaning came to him recently one Sunday night when all the world could hear.

Miami Maidens Nod Twenty Blocks Ina New Year's Parade

"It's quite a job, smiling· all the way down Flagler street from Bis­cayne boulevard to Twelfth avenue," says Miss Miami of the New Year's Day parade. Miss Miami (Jacqueline Paulk, Miami High senior) enjoyed much applause from the top of a blue and pink shell float.

She was dressed in a white satin form-fitting gown with a wine colored wrap trimmed with ermine, and wore a crown of brilliants.

At Twelfth avenue, the erid of the parade march, Miss Miami, Miss Pro­gress (Mary Elsie Weems, a former student at Miami High), Miss Flor­ida (Roxborough Lewis, of the Uni­versity of Miami, and the Queen of the New Year Festival, Miss Barbara Beckwith, were met by a committee and were taken by a police escort to the Hotel Urmey where they lunched.

After lunch they were taken to the (Please tllil"n to Page 4)

down beside the Captain, and he'll tell you everything you need to know for your newspapel·," the young man said as he helped me up the ladder into the basket of the Blimp.

I scrambled in with my copy of The Times and my notebook, and took my seat, all eyes and ears. Captain J. A. Boettner spoke to me, laughed at my excited questions, and shouted back answers over the roar of the engine.

"What's it made of?" I asked. The Captain treated me to a learned dis­course on non-rigid airships with three - ply mercerized cotton bags dipped in a certain solution of Good­yeai' rubber, and filled with helium, a non-inflammable gas.

Before I had even half-way digested all these facts, the engine roared and the nose of the Blimp pointed upward. The ground crew of 15 men, who be­fore had been holding us down by the ropes were now specks on the ground. Far below we could see islands in the milky blue-green bay.

We hovered over Miami Beach at the altitude, Captain Boettner said, of 1500 feet. Golf courses and polo grounds looked like sample pieces of bright green cloth. Cars moved along like busy little ants, and the hotels looked no bigger than doll houses.

Having seen Miami Beach, we con­tinued out ove1' the ocean. I looked down at the Pier and thought to ll1Y­self, "and to think that that little

thing cost a million dollars; why, I can cover it up with the tip of my thumb." We passed over the Govern­ment Cut and on down to Bear's Cut. There th~ Captain cut down the en­gine fl.nJ turned the nose o! the Blimp do\VUward at (it seemed so to me) a precarious angle.

"If you watch closely you will prob­ably see some large fish," he said. I leaned out of my open window and looked straight down. Then I pulled my head in. Right 'ben'eath me were several large sharks, or rather the Captain said they were large. They looked only several inches long to me. We watched them for a few minutes as they swam around calmly, and I could not help thinking what would happen if I fell otij; of the window.

Having seeri enough of the fish, we nosed upwaTd again, and over the bay south of the causeway to Miami. There the Captain pointed out the thin ribbon of the Tamiami trail, winding westward, losing itself in a blue haze. The sun was just sinking over th~ r.ity, with a cloud of smoke from a brush fire to the north drifting over it, as we headed for the landing field.

We nosed sharply down, almost on the telephone wires of the causeway it seemed to me. The ground crew clime running to take the dangling ropes. I was on good terra firma with a funny feeling in the 'pit of my stom­ach, but with a thrilling feeling of having done something that everyone hasn't.

University of Miami Symphony

Orchestra Will Feature

Famous Artists

University of Miami Symphony orchestra under the direction of Dr. Arnold Volpe makes its first appear­ance of the season, in the Miami High auditorium, Monday evening at 8:00

Assisting the concert programs will be such world-famous artists as Mischa Elman, Josef Lehvinne, Abram Chasins, Percy Grainger, as well as local talent. The famous Westmin~

ister Choir will be featured at a memorial concert in honor of its foun­der, the late Mrs, H. E. Talbott, win­ter resident of Miami Beach.

It is the purpose of the University of Miami, according to br, Volpe, to create a general center for the cultivation of science, art, and liter­ature, "My part ill that program is to train student musicians in a sym­phony orchestra,'' he says.

"For a Ion~ time all our musicians were imported from Europe and Americans were flocking abroad to study. But the World War turned the tide. Some of the greatest musicians

~A'th'fh'fh~~A'fhf~fol~W'~ STORM SIGNALS

By Joseph C.- Lincoln

Joseph C. Lincoln writes again of the Cape Cod where he was born and of the people he understands so intimately. '

1'Storm Signals/' the latest of his novels, is written with the Civil War as a background. The story concerns the fortunes of Captain Ben Snow, who returned to his hometown of Bayport, crippled and under a cloud of suspected cowat·dice and neglect of duty, following a shipwreck off Hatteras. The theme of the novel follows the raising of this cloud 1 and involves Ben's romance with the charming sister of the man whose death he is supposed to have caused.

Among the chaTacters are Captain Cyrus Snow, Ben's father who is impatient to find and tell the 'town the truth about the accident; Alice Evans, loyal and delightful; Captain Heman Evans, an overbearing old Cape Codder with an honest heart; and a host of minor characters who

The Wise Man Profits and The Fool Repeats

The wise man profits and the fool repeats. We are starting a new year ... 1936. The year l?f 1935 is now nothing but a memory of good times, sad experiences, triumphs, defeats, and many mistakes.

Will 1936 be just another year for us ~orepeat our own and others' many mistakes or wi1J,jt be the turning point in our lives when .the "fools turned into wise men? The answer to this ques­tion can be found in only one place and that is. in ourselves. Experience is the best teaehet: but a teacher cannot make us learn; it is up tO' us to take the teachings and profit by them. .. .

"Men have a tendency to marry women who are their intellec­tual inferiors. They thus p1·eserve the male ego from excessive strain." (Paul Popenoe, quoted in THE GOLDEN BOOK). One of the mal'l'iage questions discussed recently in Mrs. Frances D .

PSYCHOLOGY DISPENSER

Who? Mr. Horace E. Richey, Where

from? Newpot·t, Ky. What is his

trade? Why, we all know. He's a

psychology dispenser. He attended school in Delaware and

in four Florida cities, Boynton, Del­

ray, West Palm Beach and Tallahas­

see. He received his degree from the

University of Florida. Before coming to Miami, Mr. Richey

taught in country schools at Palatk,:a,

Wewahitcha, and Fernandina, Fla.

He has spent twelve years in this city,

the last half-dozen teaching at Miami

High. He is interested ·in both phases

of the educational field_:__administra-

tive and actual teaching, also in per­sonnel work in stores and manufac­turing establishments.

Last summer Mr. Richey decm·ated his home in Coral Gables, roofed the garage, and went fishing '~once or twice.'' Courses in industrial psychol­ogy and abnormal phychology at the University of Kentucky are his plans for next summer.

Hari.Kari of the Highways Becomes Unchecked National Evil

In the far off Land of the Setting Sun are a people with many customs and ideas as remote from those of the West as their land. These peo­ple, the Japanese, have one custom in particular that is obnoxious to the sensibilities of their Oc­cidental brothers. It is a method of' suicide that these little people have of ending it all or of mak­ing a gruesome protest.

It is labeled with the curious name of Hari­Kari and is a hideous way of dying. A person about to commit it dresses in ceremonial robes, then taking a long razor-edged knife, kneels, and rips open his belly. Falling to the floor, he bleeds to an agonizing death.

How revolting and sadistic, thinks the West­erner with a shudder! Thank Heavens, we have nothing so barbaric in our civilization!

Yet, the westerner does have his version of Hari-Kari, and his brand might well make a Jap­anese shudder .. It is widely practiced and is car­ried out in automobiles in a proceedure sbmething like this:

A nice, new car is rolling over the highway one sunny afternoon. The driver, not satisfied with traveling at a normal rate of speed feels the urge to "let 'er out" and to see what she can do on an open road.

Down he jams his foot on the accelerator, the car shoots forward with new energy, hurtling with terrifying speed down the smooth surface of the rolling highway.

The driver's face is alight with the ecstacy and exhiliration of speed. With a smile on his lips he leans forward grasping the shaky steering wheel to coax more and still more speed from his machine. The speedometer moves slowly-60-65-70-75-.

Suddenly a curve looms ahead ... a fence ... a rocky ravine ... A screeching grind of brakes ... the fence splinters ... down the ravine plun­ges the car ... silence.

Two state policemen, hardened though they are, wince and turn their heads as police surgeons extract from the mass of broken glass, a grotes­quely twisted, bloody, pulpy thing that ten min­utes before had been a foolish human being.

The sadistic fact about this western Hari-Kari of the highways is that nobody cares enough to try to stop it.

The average citizen shrugs his shoulders, mumbles something about, "Darn fool drivers .. " and indifferently goes on about his business.

"In our system the electricity is 'i;upplied from a storage battery and consists of 15 cells of approximately 32 volts. This battery is located in ·a closet underneath the southwest cor­ner of the corridor in back of the au­ditorium. It is charged by a General Electric Thungar rectifier.

"This rectifier changes the power company's alternating cunent to di· rect current for the battery. This charging is done automatically aS the same contact in the master clock op­erates a magnet in the rectifier which moves a disc, which is adjusted to close t.fie charging circuit for a pre­deterntined llumber of minutes a day.

Miami High young men have learned their lesson well from hoary-haired patriots who kept the United States out of the League of Nations to avoid "foreign entaglements."

Informal suTvey here shows that Miami High boys would avoid fmleign soil too, to the extent of refusing to fight on it.

Some of their answel'S to the __ ques­tion '1If America should enter an European war, would you be willing to fight?" are:

Leonard Tobin: HJ'm sure the boys in Miami High are sufficiently ac­quainted with the history of past wars to realize their origin, outcome and futility."

Eric Smith: "The boys of Miami High would not hesitate, I'm sure, to don uniforms of this country if some nation were to invade its shores. But when it comes to going to war over­seas, those with' common sense would

not go," Paul Atherton: "Probably the great­

est aid to Communism and Fascism was the War for Democracy. I'll fight if the enemy invades the United States, but I'm not going out of my way to get into one."

Vern on Manion: If the U. S. were invaded by a foreign army, many of the boys would be willing to enlist, but if the United States fought an offensive war ab1•oad, most of us would not fight unless compelled to do so.''

Dave Alcock: ui have talked with several boys on this subject and find that they feel as I do. They wou14 not join an offensive war."

Justine Kerns: ' 1If it were to pro­tect American rights, I would fight."

Ead Irons: "If America were invad­ed 'by another country, I would fight. But I would not leave America to help anothel' country with their troubles,"

Can you imagine Coach Jesse Yarborough a stl·eet car conductor? Neither_ can his students, but he tells them this was his first -ambition! As he grew older, he became more daring and decided to become a railroad engineer. When he studied chemistry in college his great aim was to become a chemist. However, by some trick of fate he became intere:;;ted in athletics. Now, he says, "Coaching is a work that I really enjoy and I even look forward to going to work on. Monday morning."

"Let me see-'wreck' is a male noun. 'Black' is mas­culine, and 'white' is feminine!" so affirms Monroe L., one of Mrs. Margaret Hecksher's 10-B students. This un­usual statement amazed the whole English class and sent Mrs. Hecksher into paroxyms of laughter. It is wondered if Monroe takes "Popeye" seriously when he talks of fe­male "adverbs" and male '~verbS." Mrs. Hecksher hopes to have Monroe all straightened out by February-or else!

University of Florida. It was here that he was to become famous as one ot_the best backfield mell the Univer­sity of Florida has ever had.

HENRY Russell, youthful Coral Gables shotmaker and the ~o. 1 Miami High man on the 1934 golf team, last week placed h1s ap­

plication in the amateur division of the Miami Biltmore $10,000 open tournament. During the last two years he has become out­standing in the amateur golf realms, having won many of the minor tournaments, as well as aiding Miami High to win the 1934 State golf championship for high schools. If he should win this division he certainly would have a major victory on his list.

--- .. --Iu the recent Miami High-Miami Edison battle the Mi­

ami stadium was visited by the second largest crow!l in its history. The Thanksgiving game with Boys' Fligh drew the largest. Replacing this stadium gradually with concrete to form a bowl would be one of the best improve­ments that could take place in Miami's sporting world.

Joe Louis, the sensational heavyweight boxer, placed Maxie Baer at the head of his foe list. The Brown Bomber said that dur­ing his string of 26 straight triumphs he had to hit Baer harder than anyone else. He placed Primo Camera next as the number 2 man of his list and Lee Ramage and Patsy Perroni, third and fourth.

University of Florida awarded the annual grid let­ters at their football banquet recently. Among tbose re­ceiving awards were five Miami alumni: Jack Beckwith and Joe Jenkins, former St.ingaree stars; AI Hickland, former Fisher grid star; and the manager, Abney Cox, from Miami, received a manager's letter. Norman Pate, last year's captain, was awarded a Freshman numeral. There were 31 1eceiving the prized emblems for this season.

, In the recent Boys' High game Jimmie Sharman ran for the touchdown although he knew it didn't count, but be ran just the same. His friends' say he did this for the thrill of it, because he has never made a touchdown.

Miami High Will Play Andrew Jackson and R. E. Lee

Fri. and Sat.

IYI1ami High Stingarees will open

their 1936 basketball season when

they meet Landon High of Jackson­

ville tonight at Jacksonville. The

team, accompanied by Coaches Crab­

tree and Yarborough, left today by

bus from the school gymnasium.

This is the first suspended trip Mi­ami High has made, lasting four days with the team playing three games. The second game on the slate is with Andrew Jackson at Jacksonville Fri­day night, and the third with Robert E. Lee Saturday in the same city.

Being a newcomer to the Stingaree schedule, not much is known about Landon High. The local starting line­up probably wi1I b~ Frankie Rentz, all-state guard last year, at guard, Dean Miller,,guard, one of last year's reserves, John Dawson, forward vet~ eran, Bud Long at center, and Joe DeVolentine at the other forward post.

'fhe anticipated game with Ponce de Leon, to give the Stingarees game experience before their h-ip to Jack­sonville, was called off due to Ponce dropping their basketball team on ac­count of lack of money. This Opener would have given the Miami High cage:i's valuable experience and en­abled the coaches to make changes if necessary.

Other members of the team making the trip are: Knox Eldredge, guard; Tom Gammage, forward; Lloyd Shee­han, forward; James Smith, guard; and Jack Widdersheim, guard.

In 1929 "Cannonball" played his last game for the University of Flot·­ida. This game was played in Miami, and Florida defeated Oregon by a large score. As usual, he starred in this game and in the first quarter he made a touchdown after running a punt back 80 yards.

After graduation "Cannonball" in­tended to enter the field of aviation but instead he took ·up professional football. In 1930, the year following his graduation, he played with the Philadelphia Yell ow Jackets. He did not like professional football though, and in 1931 he accepted the offer to coach the Largo Packers, the high school team of Largo. Before he be­gan coaching the Packers they didn't have a team worth mentioning, but in his three years there he built up the team until it became a serious con­tender for the Conference title.
