You have just had the pleasure of hearing Miss Mary Amos, famous Metropolitan Soprano Artist, sing one of her favorite selections. You will pleasestand by for a few minutes and then be favored by selections from the Harmony boys composed of Mr. Strickland, directorg Mr. Hall- man, baritoneg Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Driggers, tenor and alto saxo- phonesg Mr. McClintock, violin, and Mr. Haynes, flute. These young men compose one of the most noted orchestras in the East. It is with the great- est pleasure we' present them-just a moment, please. I listened for a few minutes to these artists and left the radio to my friends while I strolled out on the deck of my private yacht, anchored out- side the golden gates. Soon I was lost in deep contemplation. A series of memories unfolded themselves on my brain. How long I had been standing there, I do not know, but suddenly a doleful shriek rent the still, night air. Man overboard, someone cried. Hurrying to the bow I saw the cook striving to grasp the anchor chain. A line had been thrown him and in a few seconds, Anthony Miller, gasping for breath, was pulled on deck. Soon he recovered sufficiently to return to his quarters. As I was slowly Walking back to the stateroom. my first mate, Dell Sellers, accosted and informed me that everything was in readiness to weigh anchor at midnight. Dismissing Sellers, I returnedto my cabin for the night. About one-thirty I was awakened by a peculiar noise in the next stateroom. The argument ran thus, Mr. Stough, I didn't do it. I never played hookey in my life. Being mystiiied, I quickly arose and went to his room to find Charlie Deal dreaming of his school days, ten years ago. Lucky boy, I thought, what pleasant dreams, and I, too, was soon on Morpheus' train. After eight days on the high seas, we reached Shanghai. It was with a sigh of relief that I placed my foot again on terra firmaf' Among the first things I saw on one of the main streets was a huge sign which attracted my attention. It was Written in English and read as follows: I P Johnson Bed Company. Jewett S. Riley, Agent. Somwhere, somehow, sometime, I had heard that namebefore. Then it dawned on me'that it was dear old Jewett of the Class of '25 in D. H. S. Overjoyed in having an opportunity of seeing him I rushed in and shook his hand vigorously. After conversing with him for fully an hour he in- formed me he had held an agency for Johnson's beds in Shanghai for the past five years. Associated with him was Will Gaines. I also learn- ed that Jewell North, Bernice Cook and Fronie Ballard were excellent saleswomen for his company. , i, II. -.?x...L l, ..--. lf' - '--f f'j1- ff .- A-N. 5- ' ---wwf -'fir' 2 fi gy l-- W, ,., l,...- -' '- ,., :1'f J' Ili l 'fi' l I I 1' 'I ' ' .T iz' .1 :S 2 - --Qf P '.eI..-.,....,-A9 ----sc----f I 'mi - -.

He tried to persuade me to remain and take a trip to Tokyo to his branch agency which was under the competent management of Eleanor Beall, who pursued Horace Byrd all the way from the States in hopes that she might win his love and affection. He also said that Horace was Grand Visor in Japan. A Four days later found us in Manila Bay and the first person I saw was Lieutenant Robert Williams, commander ofthe U. S. air station in the Philippines. I spent the following evening with Lieutenant Williams and accompanied him to the theater where the feature attraction was a Burlesque dance by Lucy Glenn Dannelly, Ethel Ussery, Louise Ezell, Teresa McAdam. Williams informed me this quartette had recently be- come famous as dancers. From the Philippines we sailed to Calcutta where we remained two days and found nothing of interest. We weighed anchor for Alexandria, Egypt. As we were getting under full steam a fast motor launch came into view. We were quickly overtaken by a tall, sunburned, young man and his wife. As they drew alongside the starboard, the man introduced them as Mr. and Mrs. James Flowers Crawford. Immediately I recog- nized Old Bush as the same boy who attended D. H. S. His wife proved to be the most beautiful girl in the Class of '25. Bush had heard that we were in Calcutta and as he was there buying ivory, he came to find us. After a brief conversation we resumed our way. Two days later we were passing through the locks of the Suez Canal with Alexandria as our next stop. In passing through the third lock I heard a man shouting loudly. He reached us on a launch and it proved to be none other than John Rushing. He told me that he had been given a consulship at a nearby city. John gave me the address of my old school- mates, Edna Mae Clark and Bribie Trimmel, who were in Jerusalem on a missionary tour. ' Alexandria proved to be very interesting to my friends and me for it was there. while our boat was being reloaded, that I' discovered that Joe Deck and Arthur Sanders were the sole owners of the North African Coal Company. I immediately looked them up and learned that they had had tremendous success and.were planning to return to the States and retire for life. We spent two delightful days as guests of the .San- ders' Brothers and resumed our journey. - Three mornings later, while laying-to in Bordeaux, France. I awoke, startled by a flow of French language that would have made Clemenceau srasp for words. The voices sounded familiar and eager to know what it was all about, I dressed hurriedly and went on deck. On the starboard side of our boat was a beautiful motor launch which bore the tri-color of France. It was the launch of the harbor police, to investigate our mis- sion. I had little trouble in explaining to the captain, Raymond Spann, and his lieutenant, W. B. Lee, our identity. I was informed by my mate that we would have to lay over in Bor- deaux for two weeks for boiler repairs. Not to be outdone, I went to
