’WAY BACK WHEN
by Jeanne
LOWELL THOMAS WAS A COOK
'T'HE life of Lowell Thomas has
A been tremendously exciting, but
it may be encouraging to those of
you in everyday jobs, and pining
for adventure, to know that he was
not always free from humdrum oc
cupations.
The radio and news-reel reporter
was born in Woodington, Ohio, in
1892. The family moved to Cripple
Creek, Colo., where Lowell attend
ed public schools set in the midst of
a typical rough-and-ready mining
town. His parents were not wealthy,
and Lowell Thomas had to work for
a higher education. While attend
ing Valparaiso university in north
ern Indiana, he was a janitor, a
salesman, and night cook in a short
order restaurant. Thirsting for
more knowledge after graduation,
the boy went on to the University
of Denver where he took several
degrees, working at odd times for
a newspaper. During the summer
months, he punched cows and
pitched alfalfa. In Chicago Kant
College of Law, he studied law, and
then took post-graduate work in
English literature at Princeton. Aft
er that he worked as a teacher and
on a newspaper.
His beginning did not promise ex
citement and adventure. But then
came the World war, and Lowell
Thomas went to the front with a
staff of cameramen making official
pictures! It changed his whole life.
He joined D. H. Lawrence and his
bedouin army in Arabia, emerging
from that “revolt on the desert”
with the exclusive story and pic
tures. It was the beginning of his
fame. Since then, he has met al
most everyone of importance, seen
everything of n^ie, and reported his
observations in newspapers, on the
screen, and over the air in a graph
ic style that has gained him an au
dience of millions. He has traveled
from Alaska to Burma, spoken in
almost every town over 5,000 in pop
ulation in tUe United States, and has
written a score of books.

No Rain for Him
Tired of being drenched by sud
den rains or covered with summer
dust, Stoyan Yitstitch now motors
under a white tent.
As he rides the streets of Bel
grade, Jugoslavia, only one wheel
and a license plate may be seen in
front. The collapsible celluloid front
shield and fan-shaped tent cover
everything else. They may be
raised or lowered at will.
The idea is widely admired, but
does not seem destined for exten
sive imitation.
Tree of Nails
In the Stock-im-Eisen Platz, Vi
enna, there stands an ancient tree
trunk heavily studded with count
less nails. It is said that from
early in the Sixteenth century ev
ery blacksmith’s apprentice arriv
ing in Vienna was required to drive
a nail into this famous stump be
fore he could ply his trade there.
