OLIVER ORANGE ENJOYS VISIT
 TO OLD WORLD
Juneau Resident Declares Happiest Moment Was
 Return Home

"Quaffing a glass of wine of rare vintage, I sat, warm eve- ming last month at one of the side walk tables that extend. for block under a canopy of gaily colored lights in front of the Vivl, cele- brated cafe in Copenhagen" said Oliver Orange, recently returned from Europe, and looking at the i parade of wealth and beauty, of the famed and the adventurous that continually passed in review in front of me, I thought to myself the Old World certainly excels the New in the manner of enjoying life"
 MT. Orange visited England, Ger many, Norway, Sweden and Den mark. Thirty-nine years ago, at the age Of 21, he left his home near Bergen and had not been back un- til his trip this summer.
 People Are Contented
 What impressed me most" he continued, was the contentment of the great majority of the people; their satisfaction with conditions, particularly in the Scandinavian countries And in those countries Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and in Germany, too,-there is little reason for complaint. Last winter was mild, spring was early and crops are bounteous. Then, too, despite the downward tendency of stocks in the United States since last fall, American tourists this season total 35 per cent more in number than in any previous sea- son, and they constitute a crop that Europeans have learned to cultivate. I do not mean that Americans are subjected to unfair eXactions, but that they are re- garded as customers who insist on the best in everything, and pains are taken to accommodate them Everywhere, my American passport

obtained for me courteous treat nent, and at all boundaries I was passed without the slightest delays
 Changes For Better
 T noticed changes for the bet ter in the old countries since I left them, young man. Especially have roads and sanitation methods been improved. Road improvement. no doubt, is duo chiefly to the advent of the automobile, and to the ad- vent of the automobile of the American visitor, who wants to tour, when aboard, by motor. There are armies of him. Europeans do not make large use of pleasure cars. because of their responsiveness. But motor trucks and motor busses are employed to advantage. These ve- hicles have obtained a large share of the freight and passenger traf- fic formerly hauled by railroads. Bicycles are the popular wheeled vehicle in Europe. They are as numerous there as automobiles in America, perhaps more numerous. The improvement in sanitation ex- tends to both households and to public works. It is prompted by health considerations.
 "The general prosperity of Ameri- cans is noticeably greater than that of any of the European nationali- ties. We are more smartly dressed and spend infinitely more for lux uries.
 Pictures Not So Popular
 For instance, nowhere abroad are motion pictures, either of the silent or sound kind, so literally patronized as in the United States. Indeed, in many places I visited in Europe, there was scarcely any in- terest at all in screen attractions, and in some places no theatres were exclusively devoted so show illS IllcIil.
 of course, ahe traveller in the Old World cannot help but be jn- terested in it's historical associations. In London, viewed Westminster. the Parliament Buildings, the royal palace, the Tower and other not able places. What intrigued me most in the English capital was it's museum of marine life, showing all the kinds of fish ever caught, and the shipping exhibition, dis playing models of every sort os vessel ever built. Believe me, I saw some strange inhabitants of the deep, and some queer surface craft.

Most Beautiful CanitaI

Speaking of Washington! Of all the capitals on earth it is the most beautiful, and among diplo- mats the most popular, too In the Smithsonian Institution and in the National Museum of National His tory, are exhibits unparalleled by anything saw anywhere in Europe. For instance, their marine life and! shipping exhibits are larger than anything of the sort abroad and just as diversified I visited Wash ington before crossing the Atlantic. In the national capital, Delegate Dan Sutherland extended to me every courtesy I was his guest on visits to the House of Representa- tives and the Senate, to various government buildings, to Mount Vernon, to Arlington, where sleeps cur Unknown Soldier and to num- erous other places
 Relatives Are Happy
 Martin Horst and I left late in May for our visits abroad. After landing in Europe we separated in England and met there to come back to the United States together. MT. Horst had wonderful visit at his home in Denmark. His mother is alive, well and active; his sisters, prosperous and happily situated in life. His only regret on the entire journey was in leaving them. It was a hard parting.
 "The most pleasant part of all my holiday excursion?" concluded MT. Orange repeating a question asked him. "Ahl The progress of the steamship Alaska as it round- ed the rock dump in Gastineau Channel to turn her prov to her pier; the harbor line of wharves and warehouses, the mill on the hillside. Mount Juneau partly mask ed by fleeting clouds, a group of i friends at the dock-end of the gang plank, their glad greetings and hearty handclasps as stepped ashore home again. That, indeed, was the best part, the happiest mo- ment of all my vacation.

laying the keel oI what will be the Largest ship ever constructed. It
 will be 10000 tons, and will be in
 the English-American trans-Atlan-
 tic service.
 Bremen and Bremenhaven, great commercial and shipping cities in Germany, interested me most in that country.
 At my boyhood home near Ber- (gcn, in Norway, I spent 34 days I lmet relatives and some of the Friends of my youth. Oslow, the capital of Norway, afforded me pleasant visit; so did Gottenborg, Swedish seaport. Among the places visited in Denmark was Elsinore, where a pile of rocks marks the tomb of Hamlet and a bend in brook is designated as the spot from which Ophelia leaped to
 watery grave.
 World-Famous Playground
 Copenhagen, great commercial city, is famous playground. The gaiety of it's cafes, the brilliancc of it's theatrical entertainments, the rich men and the beautiful women that throng there for their holidays make it for pleasure seekers the rival of Paris.
 Land travel accommodations in Europe are surpassed by those in the United States After having disembarked from the steamship Mauretania at Southampton, trav- eled from there to Newcastle on the Flying Scotchman,' advertised as the fastest and best equipped train in the world. It isn't. It qualities in those respects insofar as concerns Europe, but between Seattle and Chicago and between Chicago and Washington, D. C., I travelled on trains that excel 1t in every way. Sea travel in foreign ships is quick and luxurious.

IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance of
,ur dear mother Who died one year
lgo today February q, 1929.
In the grave yard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave.
Sleeps the one we love so dearly,
In her cold and silent grave.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never shall her memory fade.
Sweetest thoughts shall always linger
Around the spot where she is laid,
You have gone from us dear mother
One year ago today.
God only knows our feeling,
Since you passed away.
| mourn for you dear wife,
But not with outward show.
For my heart mourns for you SINGER
ely,
Mourns for you silent and low.
Beneath the mold within a city OF
silent and dead,
Lies my love one, cold and still,
Asleep in narrow bed.
Keep her dear Jesus in thy keeping
Till I reach the shining shore,
Then Oh Jesus: let me have her
To keep and love for evermore.
By her loving children and husband
Townly Goldsmith.
