nurses, G. Levine, B. Kramer and H. Haynig, contrary to the saying that too many cooks spoil the broth, soon had the patient resting comfortably. Of course, Martin Boriskin, renowned mathematician, was trying to puzzle out the exact angle at which Sarah's finger had been placed in order to receive the burn without the shock. Suddenly out in the corridor we heard a great deal of noise. Looking out to see the cause of the commotion, we observed coming up the hall a group of school children under the able guidance of the Cohen sisters, R. Greenspan and R. Galvin, teachers. Upon questioning our former classmates, now mem- bers of the teaching profession, we found that they were taking the children on a tour through the plant to see the wonders of radio. The men soon crowded about the teachers and talked of old times. Of course, H. Reinhart, up to her old tricks, hung on the outskirts of the crowd and plagued the men. Soon Gertrude Brown, Herman's private secretary, notified us that Herman had arranged an impromptu entertainment for us in the large audi- torium of the factory. The crowd walked down the stairs, but we three being anxious to try the escalator, got on the nearest one. The escalator kept moving down, down, and down, until much to our dismay we had lost all sense of location. The rapidly accelerated motion of the stairs made us so dizzy that at last we were Hung into space. Vile suddenly came to ourselves and found that we were lying in a corner of the art museum. lNe fearfully rub- bed our eyes and held our hands to our whirlingly dizzy heads, not daring the while to look at the painting, but the instinct to look could not be quelled and we had to steal a glance. As we did so, the knight-we swear it-the knight smiled a crooked smile with his angular mouth and winked deliberately with one of his square eyes. JACK MACKENZIE. --....0--1.

McKenzie and Einar Hansen, mechanical engineers and auto designers, were there. The Rev. Edward Dalton, famous for his speech on The Memories of Busy Men, sat slightly aloof with a disdainful air, while Fred Burbank. physical educator, chattered volubly, but in vain. John Bonk and Alver Peterson talked like high finance while the others listened gloornily until John Campion, certified accountant, made a witty remark that started the whole group into an uproar. George Carp, lawyer, was seized by a fit of coughing in which he was joined by David Goldsmith, shoe manufacturer. This was soon ended by Dr. Chris Jensen. who gave each of them a tablet. Dr. Alfred London and Dr. Stacey Dunham asked Chris where he got the formula, but Chris only shook his head and looked wise. XVe walked the length of the hall and came to a table nestled beneath some palms. Grace Myers, librarian, S. Reisz, a teacher, A. Rivillini, Assist- ant District Attorney in New Yorkg R. Seel, President of the Glass Construc- tion Co., and F. Miller, who owns a poultry farm in Old Bridge, were atten- tively listening to H. Dettmer, electrical engineer, who was lecturing on the marvels of radio. A. Ceres, F. Evans and Jacobsen were arguing the re- spective merits of their teams in the league pennant fight. ' After Evelyn Henry, accompanied by Anna Morrissey, had given a solo, H. Dettmer extended an invitation to visit the large radio factory owned by Callman Dobbs, which invitation was heartily accepted. The party was taken to the factory in a number of Hermes cars designed by Roy Gade and Alex Roth. They arrived in due time and entered the main office where they found E. Cornelius, general office manager, who with her able assistant, Felicia Zak, was supervising the. sending out of monthly reports to the stockholders. Among the busy typists were Marie Axen, I. Bodine, M. Boros, K. Herman, Helen Jensen, A. Metzger and Skrocki. There was Heinig. private sec- retary, just entering the room from an adjacent oliice on the door of which was printed, S. Kovacs, Head Draftsman. In an adjacent office was D. Horowitz, head bookkeeper, supervising the balancing of monthly receipts. The toiling bookkeepers were H. Lucka, D. Pliskin, F. Schwartz, I. Slifkin. I.. Thistle and R. Gerzoff. Suddenly we heard a shout. E. Pfeiffer, gentleman of leisure and radio fan, had discovered one of the large radio sets, the finished product of the factory. He tuned in and a burst of music followed. The party was enthralled by one of the latest hits played by Alton Roth, violinist, and his Radio Entertainers. Following this Marion Larsen spoke on the Olympic games. Leaving this room the party entered the factory proper. This was a large room in which there were a number of large complicated machines that received the parts at one end and thrust the finished product from the outlet. These machines had been designed by Kidd, M. Scott and G. Diamond, after years of toil and technical research. VVe passed into the de- signing room where all the new 12 and 14 tube sets were designed. XN'e went into a room where we found a complete broadcasting station, and there we found S. Miller, entertainer, about to broadcast, and S. Vogel. who according to the predictions of her High School days has become a speech maker. Israel Kaplowitz, humorist, and B. Haney, actress, were awaiting their turns to broadcast. Sarah Fithian, librarian, touched her linger to an unmarked electrical terminal. There was a Flash and a scream. Sarah quickly removed her finger. T. Hall, stationer and Abe Fine, real estate agent, quickly rushed to the rescue. They assisted her to the first aid room, with Bob MacVVilliam and Mrs. MacXVilliam following anxiously behind. VVhen they got to the first aid room Dave Levinson and Julius Lehotay, rival lawyers, but friends for all that, were already looking for a case against the Radio Corporation. The
