Difficulties of Life tn 2126 Discussed in "Question Mark” By E. W. A. “The Question Mark” by M. Jae ger. In the year 2126 mankind has solved all its economic, engineer ing and sociological problems—but human nature remains the same. Life is easy and pleasant, but sec ond rate people are still as busy as ever manufacturing trouble for themselves. This is perhaps the only “Utopia” on record in which the new society portrayed is intel ligently set forth with all the de fects of ' its qualities. Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers, and it is still possible for anyone, as at pres ent, to create a litte hell for him self in which to live. Liberty is the rule in the twenty second century. Education is free to all, but is forced upon nobody. Therefore, society has split Into two types, the cool, highly intelli gent, self controlled, discriminating intellectual, and the sensationalized, hazy - minded, excitement - loving “normal,” essentially uneducated, devoted to the experiences of sport, drink, sex, and emotional religion. It is the latter type that has lost its happiness with the disappearance of the lfyig work-day and the ar rival of the new freedom. It mis uses its leisure. The newspapers of 2126 have de veloped a deliciously modern style of rhetoric, of which the author gives samples in reporting the “crimes passionelles" among “nor mals” that form part of the plot. The book is really a rather penetrat ing analysis of “highbrowism” and “lowbrowism,” from which neither emerges unscathed, and the young man from our century who drifts into that future time as the hero of the story is, like us, torn between the two tendencies within himself. Dean J. Straub Tells of Mill Race In Older Days Rowboats Were Used; Also More Extensive Bath ing Suits Tliirty-fivc years ago no one swam in the mill race because they con sidered it too cold, according to Dean Straub, who lived beside it then, as now. Modern young people soem much more vigorous and hardy than at that time. “The only places used for swim ming,” Dean Straub said, “wore up at the head of the mill race, which was then at Judkins’ Point, in a warm lagoon, and down in isol ated pools near the river bridge. The race had a much slower current, too, and was at least a foot or so ltnver. “Rowboats were used instead of canoes. They were rented out by McClanahan, the incubator man, at fifty cents an afternoon, 75 cents an afternoon and evening, and $1.00 for the whole day. No time was set for boats being off the mill race, for there was very little rowing af ter dark, except occasionally on Sat urday and Sunday nights for a couple of hours.

We used to row up to Judkins ’ Point often in my row boat and have picnics there. I had the largest boat on the race—it was 22 feet long. “And bathing suits!” Dean Straub exclaimed. “They used to wear ■ so many clothes you could see onlvj their noses. That is quite a bit (iif-1 ferent from what they wear today. | In fact, downtown the other day I. saw an advertisement that read: j ‘Bathing suits—half off.’ ” Election (Continued from page one) ed that it would be lost in the con fusion due to a lack of understand-; ing as to the nature of its con-, tent.
