TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
Nov. 18. 1776 —-A national lottery was
voted by Congress to raise $5,000,000
for military purposes.
(It had to be abandoned: an insuf
ficient number of tickets was sold to
make it profitable).
The lottery was the only thing mem
bers of Congress had been able to
agree upon for sometime. John
Adams was tryin gto have John Han
cock. president, expelled for allegedly
"holding principles incompatible with
independency."
Nov. 18. 1789 —Joseph Daguerre was
horn. A committee was actually ap
pointed to examine his mental con
dition because of his efforts to have
the sun make pictures for him on a
piece of metal! He was 49 when he
became the co-inventor with Neipce
of photography.
Nov. 18. 1872—Susan B. Anthony
was fined SIOO and costs for voting
illegally on Nov. 5. This was the
first vote ever cast by a woman in a
Presidential election.
She wouldn’t pay the fine, and there
wasn’t any way they could make her.
for they didn’t throw nice ladies in
jail in those days.
Nov. 18. 1883 -Intolerable confusion
was ended and standard time was
adopted in the U. S.. thanks to
Charles Ferdinand Dowd. 58, presi
dent of Temple Grove Ladies Semi
nary. Saratoga Springs, N. Y. The
American Railway Association put it
in effect after Congress had failed to
act.
It took Dowd 13 years to convince
railroads it was necessary and feas
ible. He never received a nickel from
the railroads for his work, and he was
killed by a railroad train.
THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today—Prilip, Serbia,
fell. The Serbs were already beaten,
but they were still fighting. One of
the greatest calamities any nation
ever suffered—far worse than Bel
gium’s plight—was enveloping Ser
bia. Rather than face the Austro-
Gernian occupation, the entire popu
lation, save only those who could not
get away, was abandoning the coun
try. Almost none had food to last
through a long journey, only few were
certain just where they were going.
No other nation wanted them. And

1 ISf ——— —J
New York, Nov. 18 —To continue
our serial interview with Mr. W.
Somerset Maugham, novelist and
playwright:
When I found him in the lounge
of the Hangar Club he was reading
a bulky manuscript.
He glanced down at it and smiled.
“Someone asked me to read this no
vel and report on it.”
“Do you get many in the mail?"
“Piles of them. But I can’t resist
looking them over. You never know.”
Mr. Maugham is of medium height,
more stocky than not. He does not
look his 61 years. His hair, combed
back pompadour, sleekly, is fleck
ed with gray and so is his close-crop
ped mustache. He looked surpris
ingly as I expected him to; he even
looks like a writer —and so few writ
ers do.
“I ought to he in my prime,” he
told me. “People live longer than
they used to and a man of sixty
isn’t as old today as he was a hun
dred years ago. I ought to be in my
prime.” He paused and gave me a
sardonic grin. “Maybe not. Maybe
I’m through."
He has finished his autogiography
and Doubleday-Doran will publish it
here next fall, but meanwhile he must
find a title for it.
“There have been so many auto-

Will Rogers, Jr.
If you happen to drop into the
editorial offices of a newspaper at
Beverly Hills, Cal., and ask foi
the managing editor, a young fel
low by the name of Will Rogers.
Jr., will greet you. Rogers, son
of the late humorist, has pur
chased an interest in the paper,
thus launching a journalistic
reer,
biographies. Sometimes I think all
the good titles have been used up. But
if you have any suggestions let me
know.’’
While searching he’ll go to the West
Indies to smoke out characters* for a
n °W‘ . lig ht. book of fiction.
„ A his nov el will be on the order of
“Cakes and Ale,” the book which gave
the pretentious literateurs of Lon
don many a twinge a few years ago.
“Cakes and Ale” and “Os Human
Bondage” afforded Maugham the
greatest satisfaction of any novels
he has written.
But he gets little enough sense of
reward out of his completed books.
“A writer is like a snake shedding
a skin, he explained. “He may look
at the skin when he is done with it
and reflect that it has a rather pretty
pattern, but that is all.”
He uses real people, as I said yes
terday, for the foundations of his
fictive characters, but he does not
believe he has ever lost a friend fol
lowing the publication of a book.
There is a legend that because of his
niordantly ironic pen he is invited
“to all the best houses —once.” He
laughed when I made bold to hint at
ihr legend.
“Oh. no. They always invite me
back again—to denounce me.”
"The women in your books and sto
ries have caused a lot of comment,’’
I reminded him. "A friend of mine, a
woman, says she thinks your women
are marvelous—all reprehensible anti
therefore completely lifelike.”
Te thought a moment about that.
He removed his black-ribboned glass
es and tapped his tweed knee.
“I wonder. I think that’s a mat
ter of viewpoint. A lot of people
thought the girl my hero married in
‘Of Human Bondage’ was awfully
dull and depressing. I didn’t think
so at all. On the contrary I thought
her rather restful.”
Maugham was a secret agent for
England during the war. I imagine
he was a good one, for lie is enor
mously detached, self-possessed, am
iable hut remote. Out of that exper
ience ue wrote a series of stories call
ed “Ashenden. or The British Agent,”
ot so great a power and excellence of
craftsmanship as to tempt many a
beginning writer to shutter his type
writer for good in desperation.
I don’t know whether you read
“The Hairless Mexican,” which is
shortly to be garbled by the movies.
About that story Mr. Maugham told
me an incredible tiling. He started
with the character and did tint know
how tlie tale would end did not know
the breath-taking denouement toward
which every word in the story seems
to build—until he reached it. That
will interest all writers who have
read the story.
Incidentally Mr. Maugham, whose
stomach is good but not invulnerable,
has never sat through one of his sto
ries on the screen.
I hope you will be forbearing, if
you should not share my enthusiasm,
that I should devote so much space to
W. Somerset Maugham. The word
genius has been so much abused by
being applied to everyone from Garbo
to Shipwreck Kelly that it has become
almost a term of opprobrium. But in
my connotation of it, Mr. Maugham
is one of perhaps three men living
in my time to whom it may be applied
without absurdity.
He is the only one of the three I
have ever met. When I meet either
*4 the others I shall again seize the
cymbals. Yet. come to think, I am
not so sure about those other two ..
