Floating University Will Cruise
Around the World

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE
great love story immortalized
in marble at the Tai Mahal
will serve a better understand
ing to the classic Of Romeo and
Juliet. The scenes that famed
the wiles Of Cleopatra and
framed laws that still incite
the obedience Of mankind, will
help clarity the gay Don Juan,
Machiavelli and Blackstone.
Ancestral respect glimpsed
from the Great Wall Of China
will show reverence for parental
authority. The journey to Spain
may blame Don Quixote for
the college youths who chased
windmills, together with a hun
dred scenes where 5000 years
of history slipped back and
forth in a single day to vivify
the sources of life, civilization
and teachings on the campus,

educational parallels arranged

Upon landing, one is greeted
by blue-garbed French porters'
sporting long whiskers and a
weird dialect utterly their own;
escorted to a snug compartment
In the boat train, and waved on
ward to Paris with great cor
dislity and enthusiasm.
The trains shrill whistle, and
the enchanting countryside flow

Paris Taxicabs
Emerging from the Care st.

self and luggage into a squawk-

through the busy Paris streets

And right here let me say
that, to the true lover Of Paris,
those taxicabS are a dearly
loved landmark; without them
half of the delight Of a visit
there would be lost!
With Paris as headquarters,
many trips throughout the diff
ferent parts Of France may be
planned. One may 60 either by
motor along the excellent
roadways, or quick trips may be
made in any direction on the

She route for you lies through
the beautiful wine countries of

in Dion and in Beaune, and
drink Burgundy that is fit for

Days may be spent driving
from vineyard to vineyard, and
when such a tour is ended, I
would recommend that you take

To the lover of history, France
presents o myriad pleasures, and
points of interest. Beginning
with Paris itself, which is rife
with historic spots, and on
through Versailles. GROWING
glory of a lavish era, one may
proceed to Rheims, where the
beautiful cathedral, with its sta
