POLITICALS-- President Ken

that the President has strong
misgivings about Vice President

Looking Ahead Fifty Years

BABSON PARK. MASS. May
q : am thinking today of the
changes which have taken place
in merely one area of activity
since l was a boy; - namely,
transportation.
My grandfather cut cord wood
and hauled it into Gloucester on
an OK sled. l felt very smart
when l could drive the oxen,
guiding them with a stick. This
was my first experience in
transportation.
My father later started a dry
goods store and had a couple of
horses to get goods to his Gus
toners. Often he took me on
these short trips and | learned
to drive horses. Ultimately l
drove them in races on the ice.
This was my second lesson in
transportation.
Finally, when l got married, I
bought a new automobile which
Henry Ford was lust putting on
the market for 1898 cash. l later
knew Mr.. Ford very well; and
he told me it took him ten years
to raise 100000 to start the
Ford Motor Company in 1900.
Later he had me as his guest
when he manufactured his fiji
teen millionth automobile He
surely was a wonderful man and
remade America.
During more recent years 1
Travelled continually in the trains
with steam locomotives that are
now curiosities. My trip tomor-
row will be from Orlando, Fla.
to Boston in four hours by Jet.
compared with the day and a
half it used to take me by
train. Or, l am able to cross
the ocean in a few hours by jet,
against few days by boat.

Reduction of Travel

Reduction OF 1raVeI
Gradually, travel will decline
as our Imagination is develop
ed. In fact. as the population in
creases, this will be necessary.
Experiments are nov being
made in connection with Chris
tan Science, parapsychology,
telephathy, ETC., which should be
encouraged. We will soon be
content to imagine the places
and persons we want to visit or
talk with. This will be common
place so years from now. Our
Imagination will become strong
er, aided by TV and photogra-
ply, and we will travel less but
use the telephone much more.
CiOthing-And Eyesight
We know the billions of radio
waves which are in the air and
in the rooms where this column
is being read. Yet our clothing
partly lnsulates them from our
bodies. Perhaps our clothing
should contain minute wires
serving as millions of "anten-
mas" This might free us from
ailments such as arthritis, weak
heart, and blood troubles. Many
of our physical illnesses may be
due to lack of radio waves.
Another field in which l be-
ieve great developments will
take place is the use of magni-
Tying glasses. l am having one

possession, and something really
revolutionary could be develop

Famous Authority on Problems Of Love Marriage

Keep Away From This Engaged Girl
Dear Beatrice Fairfax:
Do you think it's fair for a fellow to have anything to. do with
girl who is already engaged? / always thought that no fellow should
ever take an engaged girl out, but the experience I've had recently
has me confused and wondering.
This is what ! mean.
"A few months ago met a girl ] took to instantly and wanted to
date, but when / asked her for a date she told me she was engaged to
a fellow who lives in another city. This ordinarily would have been
the end of it for me, but know the girls brother and it seems she
told him I wanted to date her, so he told me he was sure she'd like to
go out if just kept asking her. I said that since she was engaged I
didn't think should, but he said that shouldn't make any difference.
In fact he made me feel that maybe she might like me better than the
fellow she was engaged to, because after he said what he did he added
sometimes engagements are broken, you know.
Not only that, but evidently this fellow had talked the whole
