Mark Twain Today
etnens, better known us Mark
Twai:: to his (limitless thousnmls ol! mliniriny
ivmlers, was horn 10!1 years iifro today down
in Missouri. lie died in Ji.H0, a 75 year old
humorist, who wave to his rend in if public some
real wonts of literary efforts.
There is nothing significant, in the fact
nlonc that today is tho lOUrd nnniversnry of
Mark Twain's birth; 1 ho importance is de
rived from Iho lasting memory of Mark Twain
Ihat makes his work survive as popular read
ing. 1 jit t If dust, is gathering on the many books
written by Mark Twain. Classics in side
splitting humor are Mich bits as ''The Cele
brated .lumping I'Vog" and "The Invalid's
Story." Other Mark Twain contributions
"Life on,tlie .Mississippi." "Joan of Arc," "A
Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court.''
"Tom Sawyer," "Huckleberry Finn, 1'he
Trinee and the Pauper," "Innocents Abroad"
- nro still enticing renders uwnv from eon
temporary novels, offering then! a pleasant
avenue, of retreat from tho sordidness and
grim reality oj. modern life.
We need a Mark Twain these days, i
down to earth writer who can chase nwn'y tin
'..,.... II.... I ! , . '
.-I nun. (uk our lives, jie aim Jus pen
would be welcome sights and effective means
of inject ioug isome humor in our unnaturally
serious veins. Can you imngino what Mark
Twain would be writing about today if he
iiveiw iiow his tiery pen could rake the Eu
ropean big wigs over the coals of irniic. satire.
How he could carry sonio of tho administra
tion's programs to a point of absurdity. Hoy,
what a corking good fcaturo he eouid write
over the radio's Mart inn invasion, or even
better, the contemplated visit; of the king and
Mueen of England to the United Stales!
Hcing funny is serious business these days.
Perhaps the finest tribute Mint one ean p'av
Mark Twain is to say no one lins ever sud
ceded him as America's denu of humorists.

Alexis Compiles
Tales by Thoma
For German Book
In an attempt to eet Rwhv from
the lengthy, dry material too often
fraternal delegate the meeting of prepared for foreign Isncuaire
the Northwest association at Spo- classes, Dr. .1. E. A. Alexis, Unl
kane tho first week in April. Do- I versify German department head,
cemher .1 he will address the John- !hs compiled and edited five out
standing stories by Uidwig Thoma,
noted German author.
Poet, novelist, nnd humorist,
Thoma's works are known for
their use of every day language
so often Ignored In such volumes.
Or. Alexis has arranged the stories
in the order of their difficulty.
The first two deal with youth, tlie
third with life on a country estate,
and the last two give glimpses of
small-town life in pre-nazi Ger
many. According to the university edu
cator, Thoma first decided to be
come a forester, but later turned
to law and engaged in the practice
in a small village near Munich.
Having a natural gift for writing,
he soon had such a following that
he decided to leave the legal pro
fession and make his living
through his literary accomplish
ments. Shortly after he became a
member of the staff of a promi
nent German comic paper and at
the time of his deMh was its editor-in-chief.
Says Dr. Alexis:
"The independent spirit of
Thoma is clearly shown in his
fearless criticism of the Gorman
powers in control. A pacifist in
his political views, he saw no hope
in the militaristic program. To
him the appeal to nationalism was
a false argument. When the
World war broke out, however,

some of the men, if possible the
father-in-laws who in ordinary
Chiese life never see their daughters-in-law,
and rape the women
before the very eyes of the hus
band, father or son. This way the
very souls of the Chinese are
killed.
"The heroes of China throughout
the ages have been scholars in
their long robes and long finger
nails symbolizing the victory of
persuasion and reason over force.
The soldier has been the Japanese
hero," Dr. Judd said. Realizing the
Chinese love of learning the Japa
nese are stamping out all schools.
In all Manchuria there is not a sin
gle high school for a population
greater than all of the United
States west of the Mississippi.
Besides the Indiscriminate and
continued killing of all Chinese,
combatants and non-combatants,
the Jnpane.se are forcing the culti
vation of opium on the Chinese as
a further means of breaking the
morale.
Good for China?
Dr. Judd assailed the belief that
Japanese conquest would in the
long run be good for the Chinese.
He referred to Japanese action in I
rv.orea and Formosa and their ridi
cule of the rnglish and Americans
in India and the Philippine Islands
for educating the people who in
turn only rebel.
"We fought the civil war to
abolish political slavery; we are
now actually helping force one
fourth of all God's children into an
economic slavery infinitely more
hellish. Are we bankrupt in intel
ligence that we arm Japan then
rush tn arm ourselves against
her? That may be logical in Amer
ica, but I find difficulty in explain
ing that to the Chinese."
The missionary, a native Ne
braskan, advocated individual
boycott of Japanese goods
and letters to governmental offi
cials protesting the shipment of
arms to Japan.
The University of Southern Call
fornia has established a new course
to teach women their legal rights
under the laws of the state.
Thoma was shaken In his paclfls
tie faith and gave up his Interna
tional views to a degree. He of
fered his pen In support of his
country's aims, precisely as writ
ers of the opposing ramp served
their respective fatherlands."
MARK TWAiOTRTHDAY
(Continued from Page X.)
popular hook, it cannot compare
with "Huckleberry Finn," the best
written of his ninny works. Dr.
W'imberly confesses that the fun
niest thing he hag ever read Is
Twain's short story "The Invalid's
Story" about a corpse and llm
burger cheese.
The writer's home Is generally
conceded to be Hannibal, Mo. To
day, his home stands as a literary
shrine visited by thousands of peo
ple every year. Also still standing
is a weather henten, tumbling
house claimed to be the home of
Huckleberry Finn. Tours are con
ducted through the Tom Sawyer
cave where the boy hero and
Becky spent perilous hours.
With his traditional white suit,
mop of curly white hair and droop
ing mustache Mark Twain pro
vided a distinguished appearance.
When he lost his fortune in a pub
lishing house, he lectured all, over
the world.
In 1907 he received a D. C. L.
from Oxford. He died April 21,
1910 in New York City where
thousands paid tearful homage to
the dean of American humor.
