ant at the Mckenzie hotel. He ans
wer queries of all kinds with the
same set smile and assigns guests to
their rooms with sort of Goddess
you air which induces dreamless

while buildings rise to dizzy heights
and the streets have become verita-
BILE canyons packed with humanity.
In other cities. too, great changes
have occurred. Men are getting about
at rate not dreamed Of forty years
ago. Motor cars throb and whizz
through the streets at locomotive
speed. Men sit astride little two
wheeled engines that dart swiftly
through the traffic. And overhead
are the aviators! When the prison
doors changed behind the man OF eve.
thirteen years confinement folks were
talking about flying machines" with
