It would be easier for the average Californian to compile a list of the outstanding: men and women In the Nation than a similar list of those in the Golden State. IIow little we know about what our own university savants are doing is illustrated by the list of awards from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation just published. Three women and nine men from California and the Far West are announced as winners.

These, by reason of their knowledge and accomplishments, have been chosen to undertake important studies and research work during the coming summer. The list includes Dr. Carl Ortwin Sauer, professor of geography, University of California, fore moat authority on the effect of Spanish colonisation on native Indian land ey at erne and population grouping.

It was another decade before he became recognized except as a particularly successful fiction' merchandiser. With the publication of The Old Wives Tale and "Clayhanger, he found himself on the way to acclaim as one of the modern masters of fiction. His dream of writing, to which he had held all during the time he was employed in a law office, had materalized beyond his fondest hopes. It was Arnold Bennett's gift to be able to see color in drab things, to put his finger on the romance of the commonplace, to make ordinary life seem extraordinary and to intrigue his readers interest with the doings of those whom most of us would consider dull people. Later in his career Bennett wrote novels and plays dealing with society's upper strata.

But he never was as happy and on so sure ground as he had been portraying the dwellers of the "Five Towns and Midland life. It is not unusual for individuals to be able to discern interesting lights and shadows even in the every-day existence of those who live along "the level stretches gray with dust. It is rare indeed when one has the power to inter-it "the astounding bizarrerie of daily life for' the en-oyment of others and at the same time create literature. eh was the power of Arnold Bennett.

For he was more than the ex-president of the younger major baseball league. lie was its founder. He was a man with the right combination of master showmanship, executive ability and the spirit of fight to make a Big Business of baseball. He was keen enough to realize that as a great spectacle of million dollar stadia and large gates, the game must be kept clean.

He had the vision to see that rowdyism and other objectionable features must be eliminated. And he had the force to back up his edicts. Out of Johnsons creation of a rival league to the older National organization came the logical development the World Series the super-spectacle of baseball which has given thrills to fans in every household reached by a newspaper or a radio broadcast.

Nearly 40 year That's a long tlma to remember IS borrowing.

I think he proves that point by thn fart that he remembered so long that be owed the IS and by making It 1100 when he paid. Both were results of tha habit of an exact, businesslike mind. Ho, perhaps, was the fact that ha had 1100 to send, though most general rules are npaet at a time when so many kinds of people have been hard hit.

But how many of them would be willing to put out a bos and no questions asked, no Interest either. If soma of thorn Prodigal Dollars would com bom from their wanderings! Prodigal Friendship.
