A Trip to the Moon

During the wf.r the Germans were bombarding Paris with a long-range gun. According to the terms of the armistice this gun was to be turned over to the allies. When the allies got it an American inventor wanted to make an experiment with it. With a little altering he fixed it so it would fire a shell to the moon. In about three weeks he had fixed compart- ments in it, so it would comfortably hold fifty people.
 He asked several of his friends to go with him. had the honor of be- ing included, and immediately accept ed his invitation. The inventor and
 his wife were going up, too. In all, there were twenty men and twenty five women
 The shell was to be fired from Washington, D. C., at 12 M, Wednes-
 day. We had week in which to get ready. When the week was up we
 were all there.
 In one compartment, were many tanks filled with oxygen, while in an-
 other, food was stored. In addition, there was the dining room, the parlor
 and smoking room, while in the end
 were the bedrooms.
 The inventor had given instructions
 how to fire the gun. When we got out of reach of the gravity of the earth and up close to the moon we sailed around it once or twice to see what 1t looked like. After having satisfied our curiosity we landed in the center of a big town. Thousands of people focked around the shell so that we had hard time getting out We looked around and everything looked so strange we did not know what to do with ourselves.
 They have wireless stations up there and the people seem to be bet ter educated than we are. Down here
 we think the moon changes, but 1t is just the atmosphere that changes. It took us three weeks going up and two weeks coming down. When we landed, reporters wanted to know our story, so we told them.
