didate's religion. Let's talk about them.
 We don't know whether we're be- ing premature or not but it seems to us that it were high time that we were figuring out just where we are going to spend our vacation. Many places call us. For instance there is a wonderful trip through the
 Mediterranean which appeals to lis
 but for which, unfortunately. the
 steamship companies charge money. The same reason strikes Glacier park, Yosemite and Atlantic City
 from the list---it would be so nice if the gross question of money didn't
 enter into the thing at all. Com- mercialism is running many things these days. including the greater part of our plans.
 Then We had considered a motor trip through beautiful New Eng land. We just love to read the his tory of towns from those informa- ton sign boards. The object Is to
 get the old bus rolling about 45 miles an hour (if possible) and to speed past one of the historical sign
 boards. The consummate informa-
 ton gathered in this manner amounts to about this:
 You are now entering Blankvillc. It was here in 1777 that Now that you have that knowl- edge safely stored away in the re-
 cesscs of your memory, it only fol- lows to speed to the next town and
 to find out that You are now enter , ing Whoosistown. It was here in 1642 that" We think that Junior
 must have taken his history test on the knowledge thus gained. Accord ing to his marks. the old bus must have been doing at least 63. Then we considered trip to the shore. The last time we went to the shore we saw more rain than we did
 salt water. We stubbed out toe on the spar of some old whaling vessel
 which had lain buried in the sand for years waiting for us 10 come along. We slept on q corn husk mattress and became acquainted
 with sand fieas. We nearly drowned when somebody dived off the raft into the small of our back as we floundered past.
 We next considered camping trip. We had tried one once and it had been an assured success. All the rain that didn't fall the year
 previous at the shore. caught us on
 the rebound and drenched the tent from the time we pitched it in a sylvan glade until we were finally
 rescued by a passing revenue cutter.
 It was on this camping "trip that the cooking stove blew up and scaled
 an iron leg past our right car. Jun
 for cut his foot on the axe and we
 all got malaria. The tent fell down
 the first night and nearly smother ed us before we woke up and it was
 only when we were moving out that the land owner had us haled into
 court on charges of trespass, resist
 ing arrest. lighting camp fires with
 out permit and other things too numerous to mention. The judge, we
 will add, had previously had a nasty
 battle with the wife about five min-
 utes before we appeared before him. It was only because of inadequate
 statutes that he did not give us the
 death sentence.
 Once before we had tried vaca.
 ton in New York. We had read
 somewhere that New York was the
 finest summer resort in the world.
 While we were there the thermo-
 meter strove for greater heights and
 heat prostrations occurred on the
 hour and the half hour. After three
 days amid the dropping gayety of hot
 house roof gardens. We entrained for
 home.
 And there we stand. The only thing we haven't attempted is trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel and
 joining the navy.
 The city editor looked around in
 frantic effort to locate reporter to cover Professor F. Towning Thompsons thesis on the prelimin-
 ary endeavors of the League of ] Nations. The cub was seated over l in the corner, and to his lot fell ! the job of listening to the profess sor. He turned in the following story:
