You Do Not Have to Pack Your Trunk
to Go to London, Gay Paris and Berlin
BY Walter ID. Hickman

Really. these days are getting
more wonderful every hour with the
aid Of the radio and the photograph.
I have just returned from Lon
don, Paris and Berlin. and / did not
have to leave my easiest chair in my
own fiat to make the journey.
Didn't have to pack trunk or
buy lot Of clothes to even get into
the Kings palace in London or to
see the wonderful gardens in Paris
or witness tho past beauty of
Berlin.
All l had to do TO take this Won
derful trip was to obtain the
Brunswick recorded edition of New.
mans Traveltalks.
After putting on the record
marked London on the photograph,
/ then seated myself in a comfort
able chair opened the illustrated
booklet which goes with each travel
record.
AS Newman delivered his lecture
on London I turned the pages Of the
illustrated booklet and saw Trafal-
gar Square, the Strand. Bush
House. Grave Of Oliver Goldsmith,
st. Pauls Cathedral, Royal Tx.
change and the Bank Of England,
London Bridge, the Tower of Lon
don. Petticoat Lane, Westminster
Abbey, House of Parliament, Grave
Of the Unknown Soldier, the Ma.
tional Gallery, the old Curiosity
Shop, Regent, Queen Victoria, Me
mortal, Kensington Museum, En-.
trance to Hampton Court, the
Thames embankment. Law Courts.
the Traitors Gate. Picadilly from
st. James Place, Tate Gallery, Tow
er Bridge and other sights.
Knowing how busy and noisy Lon
don is just at this minute with its
strike, II is nice to visit London at
a time when it is SO peaceful
There is lot of value to these
travel talks. one can look at the
pictures as Newman tells Of the
various places visited and obtain
a spaldid impression.
When l wanted to go to Paris,
all 1 had to do was to place the
Brunswick edition Of Newman's
talk on this city and I was In Paris.
With the greatest ease and the
least possible expense I visited while
sitting in my chair such wonderful
places as the Tuilertes Gardens.
Place Du Carrousel, the Louvre.
Tomb Of Napoleon, Notre Dame.
Book Stalls along the Seine. Palace
Of the LuXembourgh and the
gardens, the Opera House, Place De
La Republique. Montmarte, Rue
Royal. Champ Elysee. Eiffel Tower.
and many other places.
The second that finished visiting
Paris. ! put the -G-,rlin record on my
machine and did some more travel
ing.
Brunswick has done a wonderfully
charitable thing in releasing these
Newman talks. This statement may
seem rather overdrawn, but am 60
ing to say it. Every home should
have these Brunswick Newman
travel records and pictures.
Brunswick has done a noble serv-
ice in making these little journeys
possible in every home that has a
monograph.

THE

THE FARMER

My hands are rugged, calloused,
worn; my muscles hard and labor
torn. It seems that was one man
born to plant OF oats and wheat and
corn.
My face is redeemed by the sun.
At dawn, each day, my tolls begun.
I have my daily row to run, and
grimly Is my living won.
I pit my strength against tho
soil. It's hard and bitter. tedious
toll. The sweat Of brow is muscle
oil. that flows. forbidding crops to
spoil.
BY turn OF mind. and turn Of
hand, I am the one who feeds the
land. My gold though not the
kind that's panned, is, by a world of
hungry, scanned.
There's little else Of life see,
than just the land that looks TO me,
to raise things as they ought to be.
A slave--and yet, a slave that's
free.
Every housewife has a calling
that's what gets the kids TO come
in the house when supper is on the
table.
The bill collector rang the bell.
There isn't any doubt.
The wife was sorry she was in
For shortly she was out.

The father who washed the alarm

didn't realize he vas absent-mind-
ed until he tried to set the cat Up

Rolled stockings make an impress
sion-especially just below the
knee.
When a conscientious man owes
money, his mind can't settle down
until he has settled up.
Right after you have calling
cards printed, it's just your luck
TO find people at home.

worlds most cherished golfing trophy
the British open championship cup.
His name will be engraved on it's
silver sides along with those of other
famous players-Jim Braid, Harry Var
don j. Fl. Taylor, Walter Hagen-and
there is added lustre to his victory, for
it is the first time an American anna
teur ever captured the coveted golfing
grail, symbolizing victory over both
professions and amateurs. But Ameri-
can professions won the title in four
of the last six years. Jock Hutchinson

cup since Harold Hilton scored at Hoy

tory, but a dozen Americans-all pro-
fessionals except the Californian, Geo.

with the scores of entrants from the
United States Native born Americans
took the first four places, Jones first,
with POI strokes; Al Watrous second,
with 293, and Hagen and Won Elm tied
for third with 295. A British pair, Abe
Mitchell and Tom Barber, then entered
the lists tied at 299, and they were fol-
lowed by an American trio, Fred Nc
Leod, with sol, and Emmett Frnche
and Bill Mehlhorn tied at BOB. Archie
Compston, who will make his home in
the United States hereafter, should
have been among the leading scorers
with 200, but he played a ball from
out of bounds and suffered disquali-
fication. He played through to the
finish however, and attained salts
factory II in his final round, which
