They, in order not to forget the past, still cling to the old Ford. E. H. Keep, General Manager of the Auljurn Anto Sales Branch in Melbourne, Australia, has recently established his permanent home there. He has proved a successful business manager, but ini.successful in managing to secure anyone to share his l ife and success. A party of noted Americans are cruising around the world on the Jjewiston, a private ship owned by the great pharmacist. Lewis Kissinger, who has amassed a fortune by steady, hard work and honest lal)or. He has been fortunate enough to secure the services of the worthy sea captain. William Miller, to pilot the ship. Up in Alaska I see a desolate spot. . stunt man clad in l)rown furs, is bu.sily engaged in feedinu a lai ' c numliei- (if l)eautifnl. yet ugly seals. Some- thing is strangely familiar about the actions of this man as he feeds them and pats their shiny black heads. Oh, now I see who it is. No other than Norman Keller who has become immensely I ' ich from the sales of his seals. Over in Paris, France, Kathryn Smith is wearing a beautiful seal skin coat. Little does she know that one of her classmates has raised and sold the seal which A ' as taken to be made into a coat w liicli would be bought by Kathryn. But what is she doing over there? Just a moment. Now I see. She is the famous lyric sopranoist from the United States, who is making a tour of the leading cities of the world fulfilling engagements. A ci ' owd of Janapese are; gathered around a bill board in front of the leading pictui ' c house in Tokyo. The manager is P. B. Mutzfeld. who is making a fortune and enjoying life in being able to give enjoyment to the Japanese. A great change has liccn bi-ought al)out in the homes of Manila, in the P.hilippine Islands. The United States Government has sent an instructress there to start a Home Economics department so those people can learn more about the Aniei ' ican ways of savino- money. hraJth and time in the homes. The plan has proved a successful one because it is be ing supervised by a worthy in.structi ' ess, Margaret Lowe. Also the Government has sent to the Philippiiu s Harold Powell to show llir ])eo])]e Amciicaii ways of farming. They are tak- ing a great interest in this new work and many improvements have l)een made. I see in Buenos Aires, South . merica, in the University of the city, Floy I ' Jm, teaching English. She is one of the best read teachers in the country, and has no time to bother with mati-imony. The fertile plains along the Ganges River, near Delhi, India, are yielding better crops each year undei ' tlie supervision of Ralph Snyder. The Indians in this section are waking uji to the fact that they have let many years go by which could have been made more profitable. Tile best newspajier ever jDuljlished in San Francisco, is the The Times, edited by Mary Wood. She is very cajDable of doing this work, for which she seems to have been destined to do. Her daily editorials are of great interest to t .e people, for they contain much food for thought. I see in head lines on the spoi ' t page of the New York Herald, a man ' s name who has broken the world ' s sprinting record. His name is Walter Rank. The visions in the crystal sphere have become blurred and there is nothing else to tell. TIius ends a chapter in the Book of Life and a new one i)egins. — M. A. ' 2(). « Page Twenty-five

I Senior Class Prophecy I There are people who are always looking baek into the past. Wiiat ' f good does it do them? It only brings them discontentment from thinking of X good times which they have had at particular times. There are people who X look neither way and precious few there are. Then again there are some % who peep into the future to see what it has in store for them. Longfellow has written, Let the dead Past l)ury its dead, trust no Future howe ' er pleasant, but act in the Living Present, heart within and God o ' erhead. But there surely can be no harm in gazing in the crystal sphere to see what Fate has alloted to those who are leaving a place which they will always remember. So let me look and tell you what awaits them. I see Washington, D. C. in a state of great confusion. Everj where in the city, paper boys are yelling at the top of theii- voices, Extra! Exti ' a! Gi ' eatest debate ever held in Congress. The question for debate was: Should all the radios in the United States be destroyed? The affirmative speaker won the debate by pi ' oving that radios were a nuisance and saying two million words in thi-ee minutes. S. J. Aldrich had set his name down in the history of Congress. Li the sunny lands of California in Mount Whitney, on a protruding ledge at about an elevation of five hiindred feet, , its a girl Inuily engaged in writing something on a slip of paper. Upo n looking closei- I set Shirley writing a poem which is to make her a famous poetess. I see a large building in Tampa. Florida, with a continual stream of people going in and coming from it. On looking closer, I see a sign which reads, Madame Dorothea Beauty Shopjae. The owner of the Shoppe is no other than Dorothy Dohner who has pi ' ospered in this Imsiness. Biit Dorothy has not succeeded alone, for without the aid of the best hair dresser in the country, Bernice, she would not have prospered so well. Butler has trebled in size, so that it has made it convenient for a large beautiful hospital to be built on the East side. There is a sickening odor of anasthetics in every nook and corner of the hospital. Upstairs white clothed nurses are hurrying about. One nurse paiises to catch her l)reath which she has not had time to get and I recognize Irene Gunsenhouser. She has been made head nurse due to her skill and accurately performed tasks at which she has been working for seven tedious years. The Butler Hospital has had the good fortune to obtain the best sui ' geon in this section of the coiintry, and who was a former resident of Butler. Wade Newcombe has lived to see his hopes and aspirations take physical form. But if we hope foi- that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it, is the lesson Rev. L. P. Hul)l)art gave to his congregation of the LTnited Brethren church at Newville, which town has also increased iu size. He has converted many people and has done other good community work. Rev. Hubbart ' s wife, formerly Mary Hablawetz, has made for herself an honored and deeply reverenced place in the hearts of the people of the community. In Chicago I see hundreds of yellow taxi cal)s darting through the .streets of the metropolis. There is a traffiic jam due to a collision of a taxi and a Foi ' d. The driver of the taxi is Kenneth Jennings who has lost control of his car caused by the icy pavements. No one is hurt because Fate has chosen this method to unite old acquaintances.
