directions.

A GLIMPSE OF
The FUTURE

One is ceasing to be surprised at
anything these days. The flying ma
chine of this week is where the au-
tomobile was dozen years ago
and the then stared-at, gaped devil
wagon" is now as common as taxes
and costs more. With this in
mind, what man, whose life then
spans the incredible marvel of the
telephone, will have the temerity of
the ''man-birds?"
And think what a spectacular in
terest life will then take on! The
show will be free; it can't be board
ed in like baseball. One can watch
sailing ships without the bother of
going to the shore; it'll be just over
head and roof gardens will take on
new lease of life.
A bard of the Detroit Free Press
has been singing of such a future,
and one ventures to think he's not
so preposterously out of the way in
his guesses:
Fathers in his airship,
Gone to spend the day,
Looking after loans and bonds
In Europe, DER the way;
Mother, who likes comfort,
And does not care to roam,
Is shopping, via wireless,
In Paris, at her home.
Brother, who in deep seas
Has a coral grove,
Is going in his submarine
Among his crops to rove;
Uncle--in the navy
Who's left his ship a span,
Is shooting through pneumati
tubes
To join her in Japan.
