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.

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 .
