The next vision is a huge palace in Arabia. I’m told the emperor is none other than Mitch Sanderson. Mitch has a harem of ninety-four wives. He says he just couldn’t resist all women. One woman was boring to him. In the next vision, I see Senator Jim Sharp from Indiana, trying to pass a bill for pension for old-age farm animals. This is his fifth year trying to get this bill through. Well, what do you know? It couldn’t be true, but it is . . . Joan Draper and Laverne Wiles! They had set out to Hollywood to be in the movies, but it seems that they didn’t make it for they are now posing for the comic sketch, MUTT and JEFF. Next, I see an orphanage. Oh! Pardon me! It isn’t an orphanage. It is the residence of Paul Shields. Paul, who gave up the idea to be a newspaper editor, is now the proud father of seventeen children. He is manager of the local Tiddely-Winks Club. Pardon me for just a minute. The door bell just rang. Here I am again. It was a messenger from the Tom Jenkins Co. He wanted me to put up a poster, advertising: See us if you want to be tall.” It seems Tom must have grown since his high school days. In the next vision I see a jail house and a convict being given the third-degree by a tough detective. The one beating him is Dick Tracy” Carter, enemy of all crooks. Dick decided to become a policeman after someone stole one of his airplane engines. In the next vision I see the campus of Indiana University. The school has gained two new professors. Professor Eleanor Beam, professor of Physical Education, and Professor Shirley Shoff, who is in charge of the University’s wrestling team. The girls decided a career was more important than men. P.S. They both go with two of the University’s wrestlers. As the vision starts to become faint, I see a classroom in old F. H. S. The children seem to be without a teacher, but school has taken up an hour ago. No wonder. Their teacher is Mr. Dean Isaacs. It seems he forgot to get up again. Dean always did have that trouble. The last vision is the stage play, Rio Rita.” And guess who has the leading role? None other than Mrs. Effie Douglas. It seems that Mrs. Douglas was so influenced by teaching dramatics, that she thought she’d try the stage herself. What! You say I told you about only thirteen wonders. Oh! Yes, I almost forgot. I am the other wonder, Jack Fulton, also known as Jack-O the Fabulous Fortune Teller.” I was driven to this life by women. It seems I couldn’t understand them, so I thought the Crystal Ball might tell me.
