Dr. Baxter says of him: "Masefield wisely knows that the important things in a man's life are not the officially acclaimed and re-! corded events, but certain little unimportant moments and incidents that linger with him when the offi-j clal things are forgotten.
| “To have hit a home run with the I bases full outlasts the memory of a i man’s commencement day or the memory of most of the things that will be listed in 'Who's Who.' Masefield here (In “Biography") lists the ‘Golden moments of the sprinkled seeds' that have made life for him."

The requested appropriation will bring the cost of relief during thc 1937 fiscal year which ends on June 30 to $2,215,000,000. approximately half of what lt reached during the previous 12 months.
Whether this amount will be suf-! ficient to meet all needs, the president emphasized again today, will depend upon the cooperation employers extend to the government ln reducing the size of relief rolls.
"The tendency toward a longer work week has had an extremely Important effect on re-employment.” Mr. Roosevelt wrote. “Hours of work in manufacturing Industries, as shown by the bureau of Labor statistics index, averaged 33.3 hours per week in September, 1934 The average has increased by 20 per cent to more than 40 hours per week in October, 1936."

"The Counterfeiters,” one of Gide's works, will form the basis for an analysis of this second contemporary French writer. In his writings he has exhibited himself most significantly as a moralist. Gide, Belle suggests, is most representative ol the non-naturulistic novelist—the most different from the Balzac tradition.
Romaln, the third novelist to be discussed tomorrow, ls distinctive not only for the points brought out about the others but also for the picture he paints of pre-war France. He Is also outstanding for his novel technique which Is that of the polyphonic or "river" novel.

Nearly 1000 Germans Arc Reported Slain as Army
Repulsed at Aravaca
Loyalists Defeat Enemy
British, French Ships Block Mediterranean Area To
Control Morocco
MADRID, Tuesday, Jan. 12. —(UP)—Nearly 1,000 Germans were killed when Gen. Francisco Franco’s rebel legions were repulsed at suburban Aravaca, loyalist officials claimed today.
The week-long siege of the rutted northwest sector, where insurgents swept down the Es-corial highway in great waves, was said to have cost Franco more than 4,000 casualties.
During the height of the fighting around Aravaca, about six miles to the northwest, the rebels allegedly used tear-gas bombs and flung squadrons of new airplanes Into the decisive battle.
loyalists Begin Offensive A loyalist communique today said loyalist troops, advancing under cover of a low-hanging mist, had opened a new offensive against the Las Rozas, Majadahonda and Villa j Nueva Del Pardillo.
Several strategic points and large quantities of war materials were said to have been seized in the surprising advance.
Driven Into Mountains Most of General Franco's forces on the northwest front were reported driven into retreat through snow-crusted gulleys of the Guadar-rama mountains.
Heavy concentrations of British and French naval power at thc western entrance to the Mediterranean, coupled with theii- recent military cooperation, have acquired new significance in the light of recent reports of Oerman influence in Spanish Morocco.
(iermani Muni Keep Out War Secretary A. Duff-Cooper recently visited the French war minister. Edouard Daladier, in Paris and Daladier himself reportedly is planning a visit to French North Africa.
Previously Francois-Poncet had warned Germany that France would not tolerate German expansion in Morocco. He acted on the basis of reports that German troops had landed in Morocco, enroute to Spain, and that German settlers were colonizing the area.

Pair Returns With Animals, Film Taken of Native Lives in Borneo
The Martin Johnsons, explorers, will address the semimonthly luncheon of the Associate Graduate students Friday at 12:20 p.m. in the Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall.
The Johnsons started their picture exploring career in 1924 when they began making a five-year record of the vanishing wild life of AfrUjii for thc American Museum of Natural History under the title of Martin Johnson African Expedition corporation. In 1929 they returned to Africa to study pygmy life ln the Belgian Congo.
With Head Hunters Extensive explorer travelers, thc Johnsons have traveled around the world six times, spending 12 years in the South Sea islands, one year in Australia, two years ln Borneo, and five years ln Africa. Their* most recent trip had as Its objective a return trip to Borneo.
This trip which was accomplished mostly by air landed them in Ihe interior of Borneo In October 1935 where they established headquarters among the tribes which claim to be reformed head hunters. They established temporary headquarters here and sought further for a suitable spot to build a permanent camp. They finally located on the Klnatagangan river in the midst of abundant wild life.
Living ln that country for a year they were able to record the daily life, the ceremonials and strange customs of the natives, and make 151,000 feet of what the Johnsons consider the most beautiful photographs they have ever secured.
Capture Animals While this adventure lacked the more savage beasts which have been seen in other of their films thev unloaded in New York !ate In October a large collection of animals, among which ls the 300-pound Orang-Utang. the largest ever caught, various types of Gibbon apes, wild buffalo, and bears.
Aside from his world famous expeditions Martin Johnson is the author of many books among which arc: “Through the South Seas with Jack London," "Cannibal Land.” and “Camera Trails in Africa."
