It also has the largest rope work in the world. The place which I will decribe is called Newcastle. It is situated about thirty-two miles from Belfast and is a lovely place to spend a vacation. The popular mode of travel to Newcastle is by train, but some make the journey by push bicycle. The route lay along good gravel roads. These roads are not fine boulevards, but what the roads lack in smoothness is amply compensated for by the beauty of the route traversed. One forgets about being tired when going slowly through wondrous scenery stretching as far as the eye can see. I well remember the first time I made the journey by train with my father and mother. I was excited at going to a place I had not visited before but had heard so much about. I sat next to the window in the train and was able to see all the places we passed through, and I got a lot of pleasure out of this. It was in the month of July, one of the warmest months of the year, and all along the route farmers were busy working in their fields gathering in their crops. Some were operating mowing machines: others were carting hay to the barns, and all seemed quite happy and busy in their work. I was very happy because of the prospect of a six-weeks vacation down by the sea where I could either romp in the woods or have a dip in the ocean as I pleased. We duly arrived at our destination and after leaving the station my father engaged an Irish Jaunting car ihorse drawnj to take us to our temporary lodging. It is fine to ride in one of these. There are seats for three persons on each side, back top back, Thirty-nine gg. ' ' sus: - tb: .ij ug . ss ,sz :gg .gs eg. xt-.,' . xx xqesg NL--syxg, i.: kmx Q s : Q . Q Sei-- X x-- . h 2,5 -5 ss .

The streets are made of cobblestones, and are kept spot- lessly clean, as the natives scrub them. Because every thing is kept so clean there, they say that the pictures advertising Old Dutch Cleanser were taken there. You may buy some article there and pay the merchant in United States money and receive your change in Spanish, Dutch, and English money. The reason for this is that United States, English, Dutch, Spanish and Venezuelan money is legal tender in Curacao. I After a short but enjoyable visit at this queer little port, we left for Venezuela. I was very sorry to leave there but I was happy because I knew We were going to another queer place. rr if lk l Guctcl.ci.l.Cij Cl-UCI, IBQ1 Lucy Sanclzezl UADALAJARA is one of the most beautiful cities of the Mexican Repub- lic, only the capital of the country surpassing it. It was founded by the Span- iard Cristobal de Onate, one of those who accompanied Nuno Beltran de Guzman in the conquest, in the extensive valley of Atemajac. De Onate gave it the name of the City of the Holy Spirit. This name was changed several times afterward until it remained what it is today in honor of the conqueror Beltran de Guzman who was a native of Guadalajara in Spain. The word Guadalajara was formed from the Arabic 'igua-dil-ad-jara meaning river of stones which name is in accord- ance with the nature of the surrounding country. Throughout the land, the city is known by the complimentary and merited name of the Pearl of the Occident or the Sultana of the Pacific. The climate is varied and very agreeable. The number of inhabitants is increasing sus, 160, 000. There are many buildings of importance among which should be men- tioned the Government Palace, the Asylum, the Municipal Hospital, the school of Arts and Crafts, the Lyceum, and the Peniten- tiaryg beside, there is the beautiful Degolla- do Theater which contains valuable paint- ings of great merit. The cathedral is a magnificent temple- The important mercantile and industrial institutions should be noted,establishments in which are found all classes of foreign and domestic articles. The panorama is greatly embellished by the beautiful suburbs which are found to the east of the city. They contain fine es- tates of different styles. . There are also in the city seventy Catholic churches notable for their architecture, beauty and elegance. IF S lk ll!

The first thing that one of the natives did when we reached the summit was to offer a sacrifice by burning his hat on the altar. The sun was now going down so they went into the valley and stayed all that night. In the early morning they started down. The trip down was much easier than the trip up. As they were nearing the foot of the mountain and were in the large jungles again, they were walking along quietly when they looked up into one of the trees and saw four large orangutan which were swinging gracefully through the tree tops. After two hours more they reached the qui- nine plantation, and from there went back to the hotel in a car. They were the first Americans to go to the top of the mountain.

On a trip of this sort an umbrella or overcoat is brought along to insure some degree of comfort. Generally this precaution is amply justified as it rains there most of the time. On this day the weather was lovely and we finally arrived at our quarters, a place situated at the end of this old-world village. After we were comfortably settled and had something to eat, we paid a visit to Lady Annesley's domain. This is a lovely place, densely wooded and through the center of which runsalovely stream of pure crystal water. This comes down from the Mourne Mountains, and these mountains furnish the people of Bel- fast with their water supply. There are many little waterfalls in this stream, and quiet pools which abound with trout, which are well aware of the fact that no artificial flies or tempting worms will disturb their tranquillity. There is also an old ruin in this sheltered spot as if to supply the added touch necessary in an ideal setting. Afterward we climbed an adjoining hill to see the beautiful view which it afforded. A slight idea of its beauty is shown by the pictures. We had taken our lunch and we ate it there. That night when we went to bed it was to sleep the sleep of the weary. Next day I went out by myself, my ob- jective being the seashore where I climbed among the rocks and then gathered shell- fish, and wallowed in the sea to my heart's content. It is a lovely beach with shimme r ing white sand over which the Irish Sea comes tumbling in over half-submerged rocks where sea-gulls, tern and cormo- rants roost. One can also take trips in little fishing boats and enjoy good sport. At the opposite end of the town is situ- ated one of the finest golf courses in the world. Here some of the fine American and European golfers have shown their Forty ' ,Zi ,N .,.. X .XR ,..., ,X ..... R .... X p .. .w...,.

Travelers from all over the world visit this lovely seaside resort. 0 U C I My Cvisit to Juarez, Mexico KBy Howard Wvlllia-m Wheaterl HEN I visited Juarez, Mexico it was at night and a revolution was in prog- ress. We left our hotel at about 6:30 and went to the plaza. There we saw all of interest which is in the way it is laid out with lanes, flowers and shrubbery. 'Ihe fountain is much like San Diego's. In the fountain they have lights of all colors, and the water is alive with gold fish. A short distance frorn the fountain is a small pool with alligators in it, and this pool has a small fountain in the center. This park is snrrounded with tall buildings and the streets radiate in all directions. Taking a car was not so easy as you had to know what car to take. After taking a car we went to the Rio Grand river which we crossed on a bridge about a mile long. The river was nearly dry as this was their dry season. The United States Customs of- ficer came in the street car and looked us over and passed on to the next person. Juarez is at the end of the bridge and as all of the Mexican cities have one street we got off the street car and went in the first place. Juarez is different from Tia Juana as all the city is run by Americans and all is carbaret style. In the carbaret the orchestra played and a. chorus danced. From there we went outside and bought some Mexican jewels, fancy work and coins. Then we visited thel places where the war had been, then the race track, and then we returned to our hotel. l ii l 1 FACULTY YELLS Raw, Raw, Raw, Jaw, Jaw, Jaw, We flunk em all, Haw, Haw, Haw. x xx x xg Vxmxs 'r Nw Xxx XX Ask xx N t ask as N N,XxX X Q NN X NX NN 45 x . .Q ,.,. , X SM.
