Famous Swedish Rembrandt
Will Be Loaned To Holland
(By Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Mar. 13—Sweden’s
most valuable Rembrandt painting,
the gigantic “Claudius Civilis,” which
the city councillors of Amsterdam
once rejected for their court house
as not “handsome enough,” the Dutch
capital now wants to borrow back
from the National Museum of Arts
here to be shown at the jubilee ex
position to commemorate the 650th
anniversary of Amsterdam as a city
under that name.
Though the painting is now be
yond price, not being for sale at
any figure, the request has been
granted. Other European museums
will lend their choicest Rembrandts
and for the first time the Swedish
art treasure will be exhibited side
by side with such famous pictures
as “The Night Watch” and “The
Weavers.”

“Let’s Go to California”
pi VERY DAY some tired, prosperous or otherwise
^ travel-inclined man says to his wife, “Let’s go to
California.” And such is the power of advertising
that, although neither of them may ever have been
there before, they know just how to go, approxi
mately what it will cost and where they want to stay.
The same with anything you may need or want.
You already know about, by whom it is made, what
it costs, and where it is for sale. Advertising is a
modern form of an intelligence department. It keeps
you informed, advises you of new things, suggests
new uses for articles you already own, and prepares
you today for wise and useful purchases tomorrow.
It does all this for you, almost unconsciously, dur
ing the half-hour or so you spend each day with your
newspaper. Little by little—the best and surest
way to learn—advertising makes you informed of
what is going on in the world that is useful to you.

for Tomorrow
Amsterdam Will Relate
The Story of Its Life
(By Associated Press)
AMSTERDAM, Holland, Mar. 13.—
Great preparations are afoot to cele
brate the 050th anniversary this
year as Amsterdam’s status as a
city. It was in the year 1275 that
the municipality received it 'first
charter as such from Floris V, Count
of Holland.
The center of attraction is to be
an exhibition in the famous Ryks
Museum and the City Museum of
all paintings, prints, sculptures and
other works of art having relation
to Amsterdam during the past six
and a half centuries.
In addition to such famous Rem
brandts as “The Night Watch” and
the “Staalmeesters,” many others by
the same master will be brought
from Paris, Berlin and other Euro-!
pean capitals, having been tempor- !
arily loaned for the occasion.
Stowaway On R-34 Now
Pilot In Royal Air Force
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Mar. 23.—William Bal-!
lantyne, who was a stowaway on j
the R-34 when she flew to America !
in July, 1919, has at last been sue- J
cessful in obtaining his “wings,” or j
in other words his pilot’s certifi-1
cate. After his escapade on the dir- j
igible, Ballantyne was sent back to
Howden in Yorkshire, where he re-1
maiued until the airdrome closed j
down and was then transferred to
Egypt. Here he studied for the
Royal Air Force pilot’s certificate.
He passed his tests and is now pilot
sergeant in one of the air mail planes
between Cairo and Bagdad, a des
ert journey of 700 miles each way.
Ballantyne was an original mem
ber of the crew of the R-34, but it
was found necessary to leave him
behind. He was bent on making the
trip, however, and, two hours be
fore the craft left Scotland, he hid
himself in the riggling. When the
airship was about 60 miles out he
was discovered, lying sick and fe
verish among some gas bags to
which he had crept from the rig
ging. After treatment by the staff
physician he worked his way across
for the rest of the voyage.
Deep Sea Tale Starts
Old Sea Dogs Gossiping
(By Associated Press)
HULL, England, Mar. 13.—Wind
jammers have become so scarce on
the high seas that today a sailing
| vessel of any kind attracts more or
I less attention in almost any port,
j and especiallv after a long voyage.
In the eyes of seafaring men the
: full rigged ship is rapidly disappear
: ing and it has been estimated that
there are but 125 of this type of ves
sel in commission in all the world
today. Of these only five are owned
by British interests, compared with
hundreds a few years ago.
After one of the worst voyages
ever recorded on her log, the four
masted German sailing ship Georg
Gemme arrived in Hull recently
from Mobile, Ala., loaded with cot
ton, after being marked up as near
ly five weeks overdue. The ship w'as
caught in a West Indies hurricane in
December, blown back on her course
for hundreds of miles, lost most of
her sails, and was nearly dismantled.
She was on the verge of being toss
ed ashore when her anchors caught
and held fast just in the nick of
time. ; < 7.
The Very Idea.
“Our theaters,” said the American
“are much larger than yours.”
^‘Oh, but we have some very fine
big ones,” replied the Englishman.
“At Drury Lane, for instance, if a
man threw an egg from the back of
the stalls it would probably fall short
into the orchestra.”
“Indeed?” said the American. “Now
if a man threw an egg from the
back of the stalls in our biggest
theatep it would hatch out before it
got near the orchestra.”
George Deibler, 12 year old To
ledo boy, has been presented with a
beautiful silver cup and $100 in
money in recognition of his heroism
in saving another boy from drown
ing.
