4 Ile xi 1? i pony breeder. It seemed that he had become interested and received his I I first information about it while at the College of Pharmacy. : El Paso was my next stop. There I happened across the Hrm of Jones and Stiles, dealers in second hand Fords and other junk. 4:1 Wishing to see the Grand Canyon, which by the way, I hadn't seen since Bud Janes and I had taken our sightseeing tour right after the l Hrst year of school, I made that my next stop. Almost the first person li I saw on alighting from the plane was H. Welch. He was all dressed up f in a coWboy's outfit and said he was a guide. Now I can understand why Ii! so many people go to see the Grand Canyon. i The motor caused trouble and I made a forced stop at Barstow, a small town in California, and was delayed a few hours in reaching Los Angeles. 1 ij Barstow's only amusement center seemed to be a shooting gallery. While E killing time I entered thegallery and was greeted at the door by N. Cmullic, the proprietor. I was much pleased to see him and was sorry when Q!! I was forced to leave. In Los Angles I immediately happened onto E. J. Carroll. He was dressed fit to kill and had a walk that was irresistible. He taught dancing at night and was a regular city slicker in the daytime. He's I the kind of man that gives these big cities a bad name, but putting all jokes 1 aside, it did my old heart good to see E. J. again. Q No trip to California is complete unless a visit is made to Catalina Island, so I took to the water. I made a sightseeing voyage and the ' announcer on the glass-bottom boat was P. Kohl. His voice was as N strong as it ever was. 5 The next Week I flew to San Diego and after staying there a couple of weeks without seeing anyone I knew, I had given up meeting any old friends but finally I bumped into I. Slocum. He, like the majority of the fellows I had seen, was out of the drug game. He was a lock expert I and specialized in opening safes. I heard of a bull fight scheduled the next week in Tia Juana, Mexico, it so I decided to stay and witness it. Under the new Mexican law the lighters had to throw the bull and were not allowed to kill it. This was g' an international affair and I anticipated that it might be somewhat boring ki but I soon forgot that and was nearly overcome by astonishment when the l56l

This contest was unique in that it was for men only. By . the time I finally reached a position from which I could see the winner and I was dumbfounded when I saw Dean Ratliff, the proud possessor of I e I . the cup. il I 1:1 I ' .

I Tired of flying alone I thought I would take a relief pilot to Miami. At the field I was put in touch with an aviator who turned out to be I if ,X- Alfred Campbell. I was very glad to see him but I thought that if he i 1 'I H ' handled the plane in the manner he handled chemistry material we would X. I . 3. I never see Miami. However, he turned out to be a first class flier. . :ffl 4 1 b I FI 55 rv I5 Q-1. O 'C ,... Z3 UQ rr S' ro 2. UQ D' FY us rv 5' ru v-r rv N Q-+ f Y D' ro CJ' ro N n 'J' v-1 5 Q F?

Banks and 'he turned out to be as good a bull throWer as he had been at school. Next I went to San Francisco. On my visit to Oakland as soon as I got off the ferry I saw John Maloney. He was throwing rocks at sea gulls. He said his regular occupation was operating the fog horn but there was no fog so he was enjoying himself. There was a convention of the N..A.. R. D. to be held the next week in 'Tulsa, Oklahoma. so there I went. While making the trip I stopped at Salt Lake City and met Louis Gardner, who also was on his way to the meeting. He was traveling in the interest of the N. A. R. D. as an expert on store management. From Tulsa I started for Topeka, Kansas, but lost my way and was forced to land in the first field I came to that looked good for a landing. I asked a couple of men, who were passing in a car and looked like native sons of Oklahoma, for some directions. As luck would have it they turned out to be R. Jackson and M. Hamous. They were dressed in hunting clothes and had some very dangerous and oddlooking instru- ments with them. They said they were whale hunting. In Topeka there was a big political convention in progress and the big politician was Hugo Brackman. Although a Missourian he seemed to be a favorite of the Kansans. It was due to the bill he was attempting to put through the legislature. It was to let the United States join Kansas. I wished him luck but was a little skeptical about the bill passing. NVhile in Topeka I heard of a small Kansas town noted for its drug store. It was claimed to be the only drug store in the United States that did not handle a full line of hardware and automobile accessories. Natur- ally I wished to see the store and made a special trip there. The owner was W. Goodwin, one of the few who had stayed with his profession. I went back to Kansas City happy then for I had seen all my old college mates and it made me feel glad that they were all doing so well. To all I gave a cordial invitation to return to Kansas City to visit me and also the Whitneys, who aresituated in a fine new building, over- looking the campus of Lincoln and Lee University. WOOD.
