TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
July 17, 1754—King’e College opened
under Episcopal church auspices in
New York City with 8 students, and
with Trinity Church vestry as a class
loom.
It was destined to become Columbia
University, largest in the United
Statqs
Firs* president was Rev. Samuel
Johnson, 57 who was graduated from
Yale at It. The college was financed
with lotteries and fines assessed the
students! Students absent from their
habitations after curfew were fined 5
shillings for the first offense, 8 for the
second, 12 for the third, etc Students
failing to attend morning or evening
prayers had to pay 4 pence. Tardi
ness at classes or study periods cost
2 pence for the first half hour. 4 for
the second, etc. But there were no
restrictions upon medical students.
July 17. 1763 —John Jacob Ashdoer
was born at Waldorf, near Heidelburg,
Germany, youngest of four sons of a
butcher, destined to change his name
to Astor and establish the wealthy
family of that name. He got the
name off a piano factory in London
in which he worked on his way to
America
July 17. 1850 —P.ose Alnoru Hart
wick was born in Mishawaka, Ind., de
stined to write one of the most fa
mous American ballads. Curfew Must
Nf t Ring Tonight, often miscalled
“Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight.” It
was written in Litchfield, Mich., and
first published in a Detroit newspaper
when she v r as 20 a year before she
married Edmund C. Thorpe. Within
a few years it w r as the most widely
copied American poem, and had been
translated in!V> the principal languag
es of the world. A college president,
in conferring an honorary degree tipon
Mrs. Thorpe, said: “You have written
a poem that wall never permit the
name of its author to die while the
English language is spoken.”
Who remembers the first line?
(If you’d like a copy of it, drop us a
pocstcard).
July 17. 1897—A reported covering
the waterfront in Seattle picked up a
story when the S. S. Portland came
in from Alaska. It produced top
headlines in the first page of news
papers around the world. For it W#is
the first news to be received outside of
Alaska of the discovery of gold in the
Klondyke.
FIRST OF ALL
The first paper money issued in
America was printed for a purpose
identical with the plan soldier bonus
advocates propose now! It was put
out by the Massachusetts Bay colony
in 1690 to pay off a bonus voted for
soldiers who served in a war against
the French.
Its issuance was discontinued when
its value dropped until one silver
mone unit was worth 40 of the bonus
currency units.
THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS
AGO TODAY
July 17, 1915—Mackensen’s German-
Austro-Hungarian armies won the
battles of Sokal and Krasnotaw and
penetrated further toward Warsaw
in the great new offensive launched
to crush the main Russian armies.
The immediate aim of Mackensen
was the powerful Russian fortress of
Ivangored, a stronghold of the first
class midway between the metropolis
of the Foies and the north
frontier. It was an important railway
and manufacturing center and with

Brest-Litovsk, Novo-Georgievsk and
Warsaw it formed the celebrated Pol
ish quadrilateral, the kernal of the
kernel of the Russian scheme for the
defense of thsir frontier lands —and
the very kernel Mackensen proposed
to get at with his giant nut-cracker
strategy.
The victory at Sokol enabled the
Germans to bridge the Bug River with
pontoons, and further successes r
them positions on the Bug at Zdzary
and Krstnypol, enabling them to over
come this water barrier to their ad
vance. *

YRITING WRONGS
It isn’t true.
That the lion deserves to be known
as “king of beasts.”
The lion, for instance, is afraid of
the African water buffalo. Ordinarily
the buffalo does not molest the small
er animals, but it attacks flesh-eaters
such as the lion, leopard, etc., on
sight, and usually it easily routs them.

democratic ideas. Another custom,
that of sheriffs carrying wands pre
ceding the judges to and from the
courthouse, was also abolished.
2. The later part of March, 1840 the

lots, which had already, been sold.
Purchasers were to build on their lots

MY NEW YORK
By JAMES ASWELL
New York, July 17.—Russel! Patter
son, whose dark-eyed girls and sleek
young men illustrated stories in the
magazines and newspapers ofr years,
began to fiddle with the third dimen
sion a year or so ago—which is to say,
he experimented with modeled in
stead of drawn pictures and went na
turally into the sphere of puppeteer
ing.
This took courage, because no mar
ket existed for puppets commensurate
with that for the Patterson sketches.
Soon he had a staff working for him,
moulding tiny boys and girls in clay
and dressing them in impeccable
Paris and Bond street styles.
The other day he called me and
asked if I would eome over and see
what he had accomplished. I went
and, along with an assorted audience
of night club impressarios and, adver
tising men, I watched the first per
formance of a fully equipped Patter
son puppet theater. It was extraor
dinary and exciting.
Puppet shows in the past have left
me petty cold, even the versatile Mr.
Tony Sarg’s. But Patterson has
achieved a curious light-heartedness
and illusion on his midget stage
which ought to have repercussions in
the movies, on the revue stage and in
the magazines
The puppets of the past have been
characterized by large heads and limp
unconvincing bodies. Patterson’s —he
calls them “persannettes”— are built
to scale and they move about with a
piquant and impish grace. I predict
that you will be hearing a lot about
what almost amounts to a new art
form, before long.
But t 0 anyone who has ever had
trouble with a fishing line, the over
whelming mystery of puppets re
mains: How on earth do the oper
ators keep from getting those mazes
of string tangled inextricably?
WHY DOES SHE DO IT DEPT.
Miss Joan Meller is a dancer in
one of the local night clubs. She si
22 Every night she coats her body
with a luminous paint containing
nesotherium and phosphorus—sub
stances which caused the death of 23
women in a watch dial plant in Jer
sey a few years ago.
Various peopleh ave pointed out to
the young lady the danger and she
is now under the constant care of a
physician who can’t understand why
she does it. She has been losing
weight steadily. On occasion she has
had attacks of numbness.
She hasn't the slightest intention of
giving up her radium-paint dance,
which proves again that everybody in
show business is slightly cuckoo. She
contends that she must live, that the
public likesh er dance and might not
like one done in less lethal varnish.
I doubt that the financial rewards
are the motivating factor. More like
ly, Miss Meller gets ak ick out of do
ing something which people less loony
than - actresses would never try. The
danger adds drama <to her work and
to her dance; it keeps her whirrlins
full of excitement —although my guess
is that few in the audience lyiow the
properties of the paint that covers
her, or would believe she is in any
real peril it told. t
But she knows —and therein lies a
wallop Only show business is heir to
such esoteric delights.
