Another Kawa Odyssey.
On. Y. Tribune.)


The spectacle of Henry Cabot
Lodge embarking upon cruise
to the South Seas will doubtless be
resented by those who have hereto
fore considered themselves the sole
real estate agents for those regions.
But not by the great Traprock.
Taking Stevensons injunction to
turn to the left" instead of follow
ing the directions of Captain Trip
lett, the revered Senator fearlessly
took the wheel of his Kawa and
found himself almost at once among
atolls. archipelagoes and coral reefs.
With continents on the right and
mountains rising from the oceans
floor on the left, the Senator. like
one of those wandering seamen or
stray adventures of whom he spoke
bravely steered his course. Rarely
has returning mariner told his tale
with charm so compelling and 50
fascinating.
AS the Senator journeyed through
the still South Seas visions of palms
and cocoanuts rose in the conference
hall. A fatuliva bird swooped
down gracefully and perched in one
OF the trees. From the distance
came the noise Of the islanders per-
forming their umbrella drill. Sum

LOSE WITH A SMILE?

1t isn't considered quite the thing
to call veterinarian to treat a
cerebral disorder in man. Nor is it
considered wise practise to ignore
geology in the development of oil
properties. This is emphasized in an
article published in Northwest Min
Ing Truth, to the effect that while
most productive fields have been
found by "wildcatters," sit cannot be
gainsaid that geology has been a
prime factor in such development and
that operations have seldom, il ever,
been undertaken in districts where
competent geological advice indicated
that failure would result" Every rule
has its exception. it is said, so posi-
bly, there may be one to this, but he
who bets against the geologist should
ask long odds and at that be able to
ose with a smile.

NAMES WINTER OFFERINGS

That the hotel men of this State
should be interested in the subject of
winter sports is to be expected. That
the rest of us should be, should be
expected. It is a matter Of general
information that the State has profit
ed greatly from our summer attrac-
lions, but 1t may be doubted whether
we fully realize the winter attractions
Maine has in abundance for those
who love the tingle Of the frosty air,
the white open spaces inviting the
tramp on snow shoes, the natural ad-
vantages for skiing, for skating and
ice-boating. Where in all this land,
when one comes to think about, could
be found better or more accessible
attractions? Indeed, were the matter
of winter sports given the support
they deserve we believe Maine could
offer better attractions than could be
found elsewhere.
Then why not do this thing? Must
we wait for those outside the State
to come here and do that which it is
our own job to do? In the few places
where there has been an interest
shown the response has been all that
was warranted. The venture is really
no venture at all. All it needs is the
application of sound business meth
DDS, plus enthusiasm and foresight,
and the time will not be far distant
when thousands will come to Maine
in the winter months and will find
here health tonics which even our
superb summers cannot give in such
generous measure.
