commander, Major Elmer Scott, and his as- sistant, Brett Deveney. The pathetic side of war- fare was then shown in a scene taken in the base hos- pital at San Diego, where scores of wounded American soldiers and Sailors were being ministered by Red Cross nurses, among whom were recognized Elma Evans. Lois Mitchell, Muriel Boydston, Henrietta Korn, Wanda J ay, Ruth Smith and Vettelene Loomis. The final mili- tary picture was that of the parade in San Francisco of the victorious army and navy. A goodly number of Chicoans were recognized among the spectatorsthat lined Market street and judging from their expressions they were extremely proud of the Chico boys who were in the parade and all of whom had attained the grade of commissioned officers in the army and navy, namely, .Albert Swann, Bernard Murphy and Elton Rooney. The next scene was that of a tourist party in Yellowstone Park, made up of delegates to the National lfniversal- ists, convention held at Virginia City. The tourist par- ty, numbering about fifty, contained no less than twen- women delegates, including a number of the class of '16, namely, Leone Hintz, Mary Agnes Young, Mary McDonald, Reta Baker, Marion Baker and Verna Elder. The party seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely and no doubt much of their enjoyment was gained by the method of traveling which they employed, as the -government had rigidly adhered to the antiquated stage coach as a means of transportation throughout the Park and had followed the same policy in the pres- ervation of the beauty of the Park in all its primeval grandeur. The candidates on the Universalists ticket were llliss Hope Canfield and Miss Fay Orendorff, who were striving for President and Vice-President respectively of the United States. In fact, all candidates were mem- bers of the '16 class. These candidates were by no means strangers to anyone, they having campaigned in numerous cities throughout the United States, together with their pictures stamped on large political bill-heads that draped the windows in the various centers throughout the nation. They were Strict Construc- tionists and also advocated a policy affecting the whole world, The Regeneration of the Woi'ld and to have the 4'First Feminine Administration initiate the said policy. The scene then shifted to the world of sport with a picture of the first of the International Road Chain- pionship R-ace from Beunos Ayres to Portland, Ore., which was .won handily by Octavia Diller in the 600- horsepower 'CDiller Devil. The use of autos had been gradually dying out of late, owing to the development of aerial transportation, and surface trains and autos as well as steamships were used mainly for freight, and one reason for the road races was to repopularize travel by surface means in order that the full beauty of the world might be enjoyed by a closer contact. This was followed by a scene of the final game of the World's Baseball Champ. Series held at Copen- I4 Q 5
