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

hagen between the Vienna Club of the Central Euro- pean League and Sacramento of the Pacihc States League. The game was stubbornly contested for thir- teen innings and iinally resulted in a victory for the Sacramento team by a score of 3-2, which was due to the efforts of Marie Van Loon, catcher, Jim Kaney, pitcher. The player, who saved the game in the ninth inning, was Walter Pillsbury, outfielder, whose home run with one on made it necessary to play the annexed innings. ' Another very interesting scene was one taken in 4'Perfecta, an island in the South Pacific which had been purchased and colonized by an organization of women who had sought freedom from tyrannical man- made laws of their mother country. T'he scene was taken from an aeroplane, as it was not considered safe for any mere man to venture upon their '4Forbidden Paradise, but if the spectators were to judge from the expression of some of their former classmates, Esther Lewis, Vera Dean, Nellie Smith, Donna Gessler, Eliza- beth Wolohen and Fern Hoover, it would appear that they were tired of a strictly feminine .principality and would like nothing better than to have eloped with a flaring airman. V Several former classmates were shown performing and singing in some of the world's finest opera houses. We were first shown the , picture of Madame Cnee Screecherb Lucy Stearns, attired in a beautiful French gown which was designed by Miss Melvina Gray, the noted Cmaha. Mo-Deest. As she approached the foot- lights her charming attitude brought forth much en- thusiasm and sighs. The Boyles Improved Phonograph accompanied her voice in ren- dering an HAir from Lucia. '7 This pic- ture was taken while fullilling an engagement in Sierra Leon at the Madagascar Opera House. An- other stage scene was that of the 4'Renowned Quick- Change Artist, Bernice White, in an impersonation of Casey at the Bat. The realistic rendition moved many of the members of the audience to tears after Casey had failed to connect. This act took place at the 'CWood-Be-If-I-Hit-It Theatre in New Zealand. Still another stage scene shows Miss Clysta Vann taking a leading part in HEast Lynnef' Her delicate attitude was well expressed and received with much appreciation. This picture was obtained during one of her engagements in a very prominent Chinese opera house, the Hoang-Ho. Continuing with their other professions we were shown Miss Ella Eaton working instinctively in her Laboratory of Electrical Arts. Miss Eaton had al- ways taken an extraordinary interest in Physics, Chem- istry and Mathematics, which was the underlying cause of her Masterful Methods. Her efforts were rewarded and accomplished by the invention of a new type of stabilizers for airships and t'The Flying Shoe by electrical conveniences. These inventions were cer- tainly valuable to civilization in its rapid adva.ncement. .,..-,,., ,A .,.-.- H ,,,,..,. cm, -, my ,V ANNA -,Y-A A , A Y, mir 1 A . -
