THE ANNUAL EXODUS TO EUROPE
HOW Great Steamship Companies Handle the
Tightly Migration.
Tightly Migration.

In order to avoid further generalities at this
point figures are inserted here to give prac-
teal idea as to the capacity of several of the
popular floating hotels, what the rates are at
the beginning of the rush and also the approx
mate lump sum paid by saloon voyagers when
the liner goes out full. Also the steamship
officers were sounded for the purpose of ascer-
tanning how the advance bookings were for
sailing in April. Everywhere the answer was,
We'll be pretty well crowded by sailing day"
The total of saloon fares is computed by
means of an average fare figured out by the
steamship men. The average on the Kron-
prinzessin Cecelie was about 1926. 1t will be
seen by the total that travellers by half
dozen Of the big liners taken in a bunch spend
a sum well over half million dollars before
the start. There is of course big sum ex-
pended also on these ships for second-cabin
fares
These, it is estimated would amount, in
the case of the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, for
instance, to s19,500 on the basis Of 800 pas
sengers at an average fare of SOS. Thus the
fares for cabin passengers by the Hamburg
boat would total $130,500. The Kaiserin, the
North German Lloyd boats and the Rotterdam

strenuously athletic as was the case during
the Roosevelt regime, when the personnel of
the famous tennis cabinet" overlapped that
of the regular cabinet. Secretary of State
Knox is almost as keen as his chief on the sub
ject of golf.
He is a lover of the open air. but rather in
the way of quiet activities than of strenuous
exertions and enterprising sport. His GOODNESS
and promptness and the accuracy of his men
tai operations combine to make him a good
sportsman in anything he undertakes. He is
a good horseman and fond of his horses, and
is good fisherman, and plays strong, steady
game of golf. He likes the life of his farm

of the westerners in public life, is &C

back riding is also the vent of Fred
Warner Carpenter, secretary to the
president.
The members of the United States
senate are almost without exception
subscribers to the vacation habit. Sen
ator Elkins and Senator Warren are
famous horsemen, and Senator Bourne
of Oregon, and a number of his fellow
statesmen, have proven their proWess
as golfers There are many men In
public life who regard some form or
"roughing it" as the only sure means
of rejuvenation. Senator Beverage is
one of these. In his estimation moth
ing can compare for pure enjoyment
with camping and fishing trip in the
Maine woods.
Senator Dol1iver doesn't care for
much in the line Of sports, except
fishing. He will sit for hours along
the Des Moines river and angle for
bass. or perch or pickerel. He often
bitches up George" the Dolliver fam
lily horse, who would never take a
prize at an equine beauty show, and
drives out to "The Slide," we'll

to spend the day. Roosevelt used to
invite the Iowa senator to go horse
back riding with him, but he always
fought shy.
Governor Hughes of New York is
lover of the wilderness. He devotes
some weeks almost every summer to
mountain climbing. Timothy Wood
ruff, the New York politician who has
been so prominently in the public eye
this year, is another prominent man
who alternates mountain climbing

The following dialogue took place
between two very small boys on their

Willie-Where is my soul?
Bobby-It isn't any place; it's just

are very large cabin passenger carriers.
Early in June is the period when the Euro"
pean exodus reaches it's greatest height and IL
is at this time that the liners go out laden TO
tbe gunwales with Americans in holiday mood
intent on capturing Europe once more for
your Uncle Sam. The percentage of travel
from inland points grows apace and the middle
west is well represented on majority of pas
senger lists The old bugbear of discomforts
on an ocean trip is now a thing of the past;
pretentious liners boast almost all the con-
veniences money buy and Turkish baths,
palm gardens, Ia carte restaurants, swimming
pools and other things are already an old
story
Two unusual features in Europe this year
are calculated to draw extra thousands from
these shores These are the Brussels exposis
ton. which begins in June, and the Passion
Play at Oberammergau, the first performance
of which is expected to take place May Il The
play, as is well known, is given at intervals OF
fen wears. Hundreds of Americans secured
seats year ago for this seasons production.
There will be four performances in May, six
in june seven in July, nine in August and five
in September The performances begin in the
morning at eight o'clock and continue until
six in the evening with an interval of two
hours at midday.
IT appears under the circumstances that the
slogan for thousands will be "All abvard for
good old Europe" You will be going whether
Won have little cell down near the bunkers Or
accommodations de luxe near sunny boat
deck where the children can roller skate ON
nacid mornings. And Europe will see you
coming.

VicePresident Sherman Is OF one mind with
President Taft about golf and motoring. He
has frequently played golf with the chief

vice-presidential Offices, cabinet
members, justices Of the Supreme
court, and other high tribunals, SEN
ators and representatives in con-
gress, governors of states, foreign
diplomats stationed in the United
States, and lesser officials without
number, are wont to manifest for
chosen pastimes and favorite forms
of outdoor sport much of that eager
enthusiasm that one is prone to ex-
pect from schoolboys freshly I'm.
leashed for the long summer va
cation.
President Taft has three forms of
outdoor exercise that afford mental
relaxation, combined with the
physical training that his physi-
clans tell him he must have. The
three are motoring, horseback RI
ding and golf, and in Mr.. Taft's es-
timation, the greatest of these is
golf. The present CHEZ magis-
trate has been playing golf for
good many years however since
he began to go with his brothers

the excellent golf links, combined

In those days of his early ale

the two men, to this day, delight to
relate experiences on the links at
each others expense, a class of

devoted more time to golf than

partly to the advice of his physi-

have never seen President Taft on
the links would be surprised at his
agility and enthusiasm in tramping

UNION AVENUE SCHOOL

DR.. e. c. Moore, superintendent of
public schools was a guest of the
Union Avenue association Tuesday at
one of the most representative gather
ings of the year for that organization.
This association represents one of
the most intelligent and progressive
districts of the city, and the meeting
was arranged as a farewell reception
to the man who has done so much for
the department of education in Los
Angeles. DIR. Moore will go to Yale
in the fall as head Of the educational
department.
DR.. Moore, realizing the significan- e
of the occasion, delivered an address
which carried his auditors into the
future. With much feeling the speaker
strove to impress upon the mothers and
others present what the upbuilding of
the school system meant to the future
city of a million. 1t was an eloquent
address and was deeply appreciated
by the intelligent crowd present. In
concluding DR. Moore thanked the
mothers present for their share in CO.
operating with the school board, which
has Just carried to happiest of conclu-
sions the greatest educational battle
in the history Of the country.
A special program, replete with in
terest was arranged for this occasion.
The Union avenue school has many
very talented pupils, and a portion of
these contributed their services as fol-
lows: Doll song, Catherine Collins
drummer duet, Raymond Hermann and
Will Brown; piano duet, Lulu Hum
burk and lone Wright: reading, Ethel
wyn Conrey; violin solo, Mary Kunny.

A "GREEN" PROGRAM

ST PatriclI's day was duly celebrated
at the Fremont School association
meeting Thursday. The green pro
grams sent out attracted the largest
attendance in the history Of that circle,
130 mothers and friends being present.
AS each guest entered the school
shamrocks manufactured by the cute
tots of the kindergarten were pinned
on them. The decorations were I'm
keeping with the program.
DR.. W. A. Lamb was the principal
speaker. With rare Irish brogue he
not only told delightful bits of his
travels in Ireland, but also read ex-
tracts from Irish papers. Mrs. Lamb
followed with most pleasing talk.
The school orchestra played and
Harold Stewart, a pupil, rendered two
whistling solos. Mrs G. A. Schalwitz,
an active member of the congress, was
present and read "St Patrick's Day"
Mrs c. c. Noble. state treasurer. was
a guest upon this occasion. When
called upon she related interesting
events of the recent Berkeley meeting
Whrein twenty-five mothers circles
federated with the California congress.
After the program the guests were
escorted to the cooking department,
where pupils of the household art uni
formed in white and green, served the
company with delightful refreshments
prepared by themselves. Mrs. Cora
Freeman, principal of the school, re
ceives credit for preparation of these
delightful programs.

UTAH DAY NURSERY

It is to be hoped that the new day

and discussed plans to that end.
The bungalow has been cleaned and
painted. A little playground has been
put in. with the usual sand heap. Now
the various circles are asked to assist
in furnishing the pleasant and neces-
sary cottage, in order that the babies
may have every comfort under the care
of their nurse.

If the latter cause exists the Children's s
hospital will take m the worthy little
ones and treat them without expense.
The best of medical science, medicines
and foods are due the children of un-
fortunate families, and these are to
be afforded freely and gladly.
Throat operations are performed at
the hospital each Friday. other cases,
passed upon by the committee, are re-
ceived and treated at all times and
all hours.
Aids New Generation
This work, which means the health
and physical upbuilding of the coming
generation, is being carried out on a
grand scale by the Mothers congress.
1t hardly could be done by any other
organization or combination of organ
izations. The congress represents a
great friendship existing between
mothers, both poor and more fortunate;
between teacher and parent. The tie
which binds is a sympathetic one. The
work is one of love.
There is no brand of charity upon
any movement The various associa-
tions, through personal visit of mem
bers, know the families of their dis
tricts, their conditions and needs. The
sick and suffering are cared for
through this great and complete chain
of the friendship" organization.
Therefore, as in every other branch,
the hospital work is complete in itself,
covering the city so far as the local
committees are concerned, and guar
anteeing that every poor child shall
have the best of medical treatment
when necessary.
This is but one of the many
branches of congress work, but IL
lustrates how great and vital the or
ganzation which is working for the
childs welfare, mentally, morally and
