L I FE I WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, MAY 25, 1928 INQUIRING REPORTER Note: A Hershey Bar will be given to any question accepted for the Inqvtrlng Reporter to ask. Question: Do you think our Lindbergh is greJlter than Columbus? Answers: Vance Soule, 8D. Yes. Because there was no France arguing with us then. We will now be friendly with them. Bob Hess, SB. No. Because if Columbus had not discovered America there would ~ no Atlantic to fly over. Columbus discovered what was later to be the greatest nation in the world. June Anderson, 8C. I belieYe they are equal because they both faced practically the same dangers. If Columbus had been living in our time he would ha\'e been celebrated just as much as our Lindy. Cecil W~liams, 7 A. I think he is because he could not land in water and Columbus could. Lindbergh had a more dangerous flight because he went bv himself and Columbus had men with him. Albert Barker, SC. Lindbergh had other a via tors who l:'et the example sn he tried a nd happened to be the first man to fly acroRs the ocean. Columbus had no one to encourage him, the-refore Columbus is greater. -Bob Hess, SB ~tolp a German artist named Franz von Stuck. Stuck is a painter of gay, dancing, carefree pictures. .Most of bls pictures show fairies, gnomes, elves and satyrs. In the "Spring Dance," Spring is represented by name and color. ~be artist has well chosen and blended his colors because the colors are spring colors, each one suiting the others. The sky in the "Spring Dance" is a mixture of green, purple and different shades of tan. The trees are pale and medium green. The six .figures are wearing green, blue, violet; pink, deep purple, cream, and deep blue. I like the figure In green best because it suits the rest of the picture. The ground is medium green with buttercups and daffodils. In three places you can see a touch of brilliant red which add~ a bright note of color to the picture. You see that the colors suit the season. The tree at the left b ends because of the wind, the other tree and rock bend gracefully with the figures. You can ht:ar the figures singing. You can feel the joy they are witness ing. I like the pic ture. It is full of life. Yon Stuck's father wanted him to be a miller. \Vhen h e was at home he dr(>w on the ftoors and door. In these, his mother saw talent. So with his mother· ~ permission he left home when twelve to study at a school of art. Oncehe onh· rece ived hut one mark for a comic drawing but with a bran· hea rt he- kept on. Yon Stud;: g:n·e lift" to German art, one so dea d and drt-ary. Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" and Bennett's ")laster Skylark" hest describe the d eep m~·stet·ies of beauty of the "Spring Dance." -Alice Dernehl. 5A Howard. Told by the Pupils I The great crowd of 80,000 people at Soldier's Field, Saturday afternoon, May l%th, went wild over the German-Irish Fliers, who appeared atop an open touring car, immedlately behind a brilliant and magnlftcent parade, which will never be forgotten by those who saw lt. As the ftlers passed the stands the people waved hats, handkerchiefs and flags. Captain Koehl, Major Fitsmaurice and Baron von Huenfeld had the time of their lives waving to the crowd as they rode alone,.. In the car with them were Mayor Thompson and Assistant Secretary of Commerce MacCracken. T}le wives of the aviators followed in the next car. The parade which preceded the fliers was as follows : Mounted Pollee, Band. Battalion 13lst Armory, 2 Batteries, Band, troops of the American Legion, and Boy Scouts in their var·iou!; uniforms. The flags they carried wet·e a grand sight. Five floats also entered the stadium grounds. O\·erhead a !:!quadron of army planes followed the course of the ground parade and doubled back. The flier:; went to the speaker's stand through an ai:!!le of children who had pre,·iou~ly performed in various feat~ for the entertainment of the spectator~. Mr. Elmer T, Sten~ns, the chairman of the day, called upon various officialR to welcome the German-Irh>h Fliers to Chicas;o. Most of these :-peakers referred to the fliers a~ the "Three Mus keteers of the Air." All of the three fliers made ~pee ·hes in response, to the great enjoyment of the crowd. Captain Koehl addres~erl the crowd in both English and German . Hi~ ::;peech in English waR wonderful in view of the fact that he learned Englbh only four weeks ago. Major Fitzmaurice and tht> B:ll'nn followed, thanking the- Chkagoan~ for tlwir wonderful reception. Mayor Thump:-;un then told of the 1933 World'!-; Fait· and urged the purchase of the $5.00 mt-mbt>l'~hips.-Laurence Buckmaster· and Clw~ter Hanson, 7B Stolp Reporting Duet Gets a Glimpse.

Mr. Stow· told them that U1ey had better jump farth er than the boys or the boys would beat them, so they really started to jump : First Virginia Ann Snorf made 5 fef>t 9 inches. Julia Carroll, who was a littl t> better, made 5 feet 11 inches. Then Marilyn Kehl made 6 feet and Julia Carroll jumped again and made 6 feet 1 inch. Marilyn Kehl jumped again anrl made 6 feet 1 inch also. So the boy s were beaten by the girls, in~tead of t-h~· girls b eing beaten by the boys.
