In this article is given the first of
a series of letters written back to the
Daily Dispatch by S. T. Peace from
various points on his long trip west
to the convention of Rotary Interna-
tional in San Francisco.
Before leaving with Mr.. and Mrs.
K. G.. S. Davis and Mr.. and Mrs. T..
B. Rose. Jr., Mr.. Peace was asked
by the Dispatch to send back for
publication as many articles as he
could find the time to write He
agreed. Many here know quite we'll

scenic countries and states, and l.
was thought that his observations
would be very interesting. Certainly

personal note accompanying the
letter said every bit of my time
has been taken up. 1t has been a very
hurried trip. I am having to write
on the train and the train is shak

good time. hope to make the next
article more interesting if l can get
the time. We are now between Grand
Canyon and Los Angeles"
The Rotary convention tegan last
Sunday in San Francisco, and will
continue through Friday of this
week.
Mr.. Peace wrote as follows:

for sightseeing in New Orleans.
This is my first trip to the far west.
How will the West compare with the
delightful points of interest in the
Old East and Old South? Can it sur
pass the mellowed dignity of old Vir-
ginia, it's Williamsburg and the atmos-
phere of Thomas jefferson? Can It
excel the Old North State, with it.,
wonderful mountains and its sea? Can

Crisis Message

'sBring the world crisis into the
classroom" Is today'S suggestion
of John w. Studebaker, CommiS-
sioner of Education, who d ddS:
"The student who missed hearing
Chamberlain or Hitler was
deprived Of some real education
He missed the significant ex-
perience as q close observer Of q
performance which future his
torians may never quite be able to
tell accurately. . We agree with
Stlidebaker that too much time is
gpent in high school and college
looking back to see where we've
been instead Of looking forward
to see where We are going!

Rings the Changes
DAILY SHORT STORY
-..~--.--.----->By Marie Brett-P Peming~-.

when I saw the fat woman going
to the station and carrying that
handbag, I followed" Lselotte
said sullenly, "the gnadige Frau's
beautiful handbag that this old
COW has stolen Der bub didn't
want to board the train, but
made him understand that it was
necessary we 60 to Gstaad and
when he saw all the funny people
skating and falling and getting
all entangled, he was very amused
but I watched the thief-and
she fortunately left her handbag
for the moment on a bench, when
she went off to skate-well, I
threw my jacket on it and when
she was far enough, I snatched
the jacket up, with the bag and
made der bub race back to the
station :"
FAIR EXCHANGE
It is true we boarded the train
when it was moving off and the
guard was very cross, but that is
nothing. Claude also was cross
and he cried and stamped his feet
but I have the gnadige Frau's
beautiful handbag and I am
happy. I thought it was better to
leave my own handbag in ex-
change" she added virtuouSly," so
that the thief might not realize
at once that hers was gone. "
I had a fleeting vision Of the
gaudy, embossed purple leather
affair LiSelotte sported and
thought there might be just a
chance that the Marquesa would
have realized the substitution in
stantly, but I refrained from say
ing so. Nor did I diSabuse Lise-
lotte as to the real ownership of
the satchel, merely thanking her
and making her promise that she
would keep the whole affair to
herself.
Later that night, Charles, who
was an expert photographer, got
busy on the contents Of the bag.
The haul was of some Importance:
It was mostly a question of pro-
German propaganda in Spain, but
the various reports, in clear, con-
tanned the most valuable data and

spring details of the means taken
by the Spanish agents working
under the orders of the Marquesa
to secure information detrimental
to the allies services In BARGE
Iona, which would enable them to
betray the various agents to the
local police.
On the following day, an early
train carried US to Berne, my son,
Liselotte and IL had not dared
leave the irrepressible Liselotte to
his own devices in Chateau dock
and shortly after my arrival I
called on my special" friend at
the German legation.
VIRTUE REWARDED
"You see," I explained, II might
have returned that bag: Fact I
opened it with a view of ascertain
ing to whom it belonged-but
then, when I had seen what it con-
tanned, 1 thought the best policy
was to bring it to you at once
That woman must be mad-going
around forgetting such things in
tea rooms :"
My friend turned over the vari'
Gus papers and went pale.
"Himmel," he said under his
breath, think what could have
happened had it fallen in hands
other than yours -"
II thought of it," I said virtu.
ously, "and that Is why I came at
once to Berne. Obviously, that
woman, whoever she is, is not to
be trusted :"
1t was, Of course, no surprise to
my service when, few days later,
the Marquesa packed her traps
and returned to Spain. She was
quite safe there; we had a list Of
all her associates, their meeting
places and their connections; the
whole outfit could be left safely
in the capable hands Of our
agents :.
Liselotte, meanwhile. got her
dearest wish, for I presented her
with my pigskin satchel which had
been-as I had guessed-all the
tinne in that stored trunk.

these girls put in seven hours
daily seven days a week (try it
some time) and receive one day

the Gallinger cleanup maids get
half a day per week. Bites,
scratches and more serious
wounds are nothing to them. for
each lass must handle Is to 20

one gets her months day off 1t
means another must handle q dou-
