TRAVELLER CLAIMS HALF GLAD NATIVES SPOILED SCENERY
Society Woman of San Fran cisco Says South Sea
 Islands 0Verated

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. ss.-(By Associated Press.)-The South Sea is- lands havs been ridicuiously over rated, according to 6 statement made here recently by Mrs. Whitney sperry, San Francisco society woman and globe trotter, who has just returned from a 75,0OO-mile jaunt including tour of the Orient, the South Seas and the Antipodes.
 Mrs. Sperry said she visited the South Sea islands expecting to find and of dreams and romance. T found beautiful scenery ruined by fat, half- naked men and women," she con tuer of race and drink. Prices were three times higher than they should have been. The place was full of half-dressed artists who have 'gone brown and everything l ate gave me indigestion. The food was responsible. The South Sea islands have been ridiculously overrated."
 In Java, Mrs. sperry said, husbands nay be pluoked from the trees, bushes and the road side. Those are not human wrecks or doddering dere- licts, but fine, handsome and charm ing men from Holland who go to Java to make their fortunes.
 Women Refuse to Live There.
 The heat Is so intense that most women refuse to live there, MITE. Sperry went on to say, ESQ the only alternative these men have, if they wish to exchange single blessedness for harnessed cussedness. Is to marry the native women. So you see what golden opportunity there is for single white women.
 Tn Hongkong I met many Amer lean and English women stranded without a cent, whose real reason for going to China was to get mar ried Most of them were more than 30 years old and more or less un- attractive. They had heard, incor- rectly, that there were so many more English and American men than women in China. Once there they couldn't return. Java should have been their goal"
 Mrs. Sperry entertains bitter and hearty grudge against those writers who have painted glowing word pie lures of the South Seas and the maidens thereof. She says: T received the biggest disappointment of my life when l landed in the South Sea is lands. The scenery Is beautiful, yes, but nothing startling. Java Is more beautiful. And those beauteous maid ems one hears of they are fat, nearly all of them, and loppy. Voluptuous, yes: but oh. so broad! There are dere- licts of every race and nation, gone to seed.

thereby keep herself ahead of

Brownies Routing
Beats Native Advice

Mr.. and Mrs. George Currier and
Mr.. and Mrs. S. r. Morse motored to
New London Friday and visited until
Sunday with DR.. and Mrs. H. E.
Clark, formerly of this city. On
Saturday they visited Oshkosh,
Neenah, Menasha and Appleton.
The trip to New London was made
over Highway 16, from Chippewa
Falls to just north of Clintorville, and
the route was found in excellent con-
dition all the way. The entire tour
covered about 700 miles.
Taking advantage of membership
in the Milwaukee Journal Tour Club
letter was sent to Brownie" ask
ing advice on routing for this trip.
Within 48 hours his reply was re-
ceived, and it was found to be better
than that Of natives" who claimed
to know "every inch of the road
Had the route first planned been
followed it would have meant many
more miles, with Numerous detours,
and few stretches of good road. At
the east end o. the trip brownies
advice was ignored in favor Of that
of a native, and as result the only
poor stretch on the route was en-
countered.
Brownie" drives from thirty to
forty thousand miles over Wiscon-
sin highways every year, and keeps
tab on highway construction
throughout the state, so that he is
always able to give the best routings.
His Travel Club is well worth the con-
sideration of all motorists.
