den, an artist, and Helena Zielinska,
linguist, finding business bit dull
lin New York, have decided it's good
time to take few weeks off for a IT.
i tie walking trip. Consequently they
have started for San Francisco. Eyes,
we're going to walk every step of the
way. declared Miss Rouden. II am
going to draw pictures, and sell them
as we go along and Miss Zeilineka
will give lectures in the foreign set
Elements of cities we pass throug."
When asked If they had made any
special plan about crossing the desert
or mountains which in:rude them
selves. between here and the coast,
Mics Rouden hesitated Just minute
and then replied, ".Nsno, but
cheerfully, I'VE are going to walk
every step, no matter what kind OF
scenery we are walking over"
With the shops showing velvet,
fur-tnlmmed bathing suits. and
with 76 women out Of every humid
red buying long, jade earrings, hus-
bands and fathers are breathing a
sigh of thanksgiving that the style
in straw hats (for menD has. chang

every hat-cleaning place in town is
working overtime. @@
1t was natural, perhaps, that the
biggest reaction that r. w. kellogg,
business manager OF the Los Angeles
Express, get from his recent trip to
Europe had to do with the price of
newsprint | was little disappoint-
cd when .he made this plain to me
the Aquitania. i had hoped for some
red-hot inside stuff that the manag-I
ing editors I serve would tempt to
"kill OUT of my column and use on
page one, with the brightest head the
copy desk could produce. Come to
think of it, guess that Mr.. kellogg,
after all gave me good story when
he said that the biggest news he ran
into on the other side was that the
available supply OF newsprint in
Norway, Sweden and Finland and
Germany Is greatly overestimated,
and that $4,000 tons represents all
of the paper they have to export.
THE impression that there was a
limitless supply over theresis probab-
ly due to the fact that at least 10
brokers in America are trying to sell
this same $4,000 TONS" Mr.. kellogg
said IA
Brooklyn has welcomed and chal-
lenged the croquet champion of Aus
tralia. Anyone who is inclined to
think the world has moved far too
rapidly or that the present genera
ti0n lives only on, by and for excite
ment will do we'll to read and dwell
upon these lines Brooklyn rs the
American home Of croquet, anyway,
and has perfect right to issue its
challenge to this Australian girl
yes, it's girl--in the. name of the
whole country. When Newport. drop
ped croquet before any OF us
can remember, my dear--it was
Brooklyn which rescued the game
from death and has coddled 1T along
ever since. Now it is going to vindi-;

Britain beware! ,af S.

thing that waves the flag Of hope. En-
gineers Of the Transit Commission are
devising plan for the construction
of moving platforms beneath the
sidewalk on Forty-seconi street
straight across Manhattan from riv-.
err to river. It is said that these
platforms would not only relieve the
subway congestion d. this c::$assway
butt would make possible the removal
OF the surface cars from Forty

and pedestrians full sway. Maybe
eventually we can carry on all our
business underground and make a
park of the Islands surface.
Those maiden manners" scored a.
jubilant victory the other day when
Ruth Hale. who is Happily married to
Haywood Broun, got her name on a
real estate deed as Ruth Hale, rath-

husband bought a piece Of property
together but inspite of the mutual
agreement of the. two as to nomen-
