their only baggage being two rain
coat», a camera, «having aet, sewing
kit and a Bible. They were allowe«!
to land and go free because their pass
port» were in order and becauae the
«hipping company did not care to take
the case to court, incidentally the
youth« had work«?d well a« deck hands
and had won the friendship of the
officer» and crew.
Questioned In Bombay the stow
aways said they were college gradu
ates taking a year off to work their
way around the world without receiv
ing a cent from home. Their journey
is an answer to a challenge made by
their college president. Dr. P. II. Kolbe,
who in a speech before the student
tsxiy of Akron university wondered
why American students no longer
worked their way to an«! around Eu
rope during summer vacation«. He
even hinted that fear of the hard
knock« might be the cause of thia
lack of wanderlust. The two student«,
Adib Karam, twenty-three years old,
and Jame« W. Matz, twenty-two, in
answer to the pr«e«ldent’8 challenge,
not only have worked their way to and
around Europe, but are going around
the world. Already they have been
through England, France, Switzer
land, Italy, Syria. Palestine and Egypt.
Start on Leviathan.
In New York on June 30, 1925, two
week« after receiving their diplomas,
the young men got Jobs on the Unite«!
State« liner leviathan, plying between
New York and Southampton.
"We learned a little what Doctor
Kolbe meant by hard knock« when we
were put to work peeling onions and
potatoes. It wasn't easy to become
scullions so soon after our graduation
from college." Karam remarked rem
iniscently. After working three months
on this boat and then leaving it In
England, they saw Canterbury, with
It« historic cathedral; London and
Wembley, and “hiked” through Kent.
Four day« after arriving in Pari«
they obtained Job«. * They saved
money, saw Paris and learned some
French.
Geneva, their next Important stop,
was reached by walking througl^the
picturesque French and Swiss alps.
After riding around Lake Geneva and
through the Simplon tunnel, they vis
ited the famous places of Milan. Ven-
Ice. Florence, Rome and Naples and
inspected Mount Vesuvius and Pom
peii.
Work Way to Syria.
The two wanderers next went to
Marseille«, France, from which port
they worked their way to Beyrouth.
Syria, in the stokehole of the Pytheas,

In Syria they went Inland, saw
something of the war. They passed

then stealing a ride, they arrived in
Kantara, Egypt, after four days of
travel. Because of the dirt and grime
of these hard four days and their un
shaven appearances, the Egyptian
passport officials permitted them to en
ter only after a thorough questioning.
Cairo, with its pyramids, the Sphinx
and the River Nile, was the next city
of Interest. After spending five days
there the wanderers began a 150-mlle
walk to Port Said.
After failing to find Jobs on a boat
that would take them to Bombay they

Short Skirt» End Use
of Teacher’» High Chair
New York.—Modern short skirts
may have a direct bearing upon class
room procedure.
The brevity of
skirts Is threatening to do away with
the teacher's “high chair.”
A number of principals readily
agreed that the modernly-attired
teacher, perched bi'fore the class on
the high chair, bears a remarkable
resemblance to a silk advertisement.
The effect, these clucators agreed,
while not necessarily evil, might well
be regarded as a trifle disturbing.
For a great many years the high
chair has been standard equipment in
every classroom, but the new policy
here came to light when the requi
sitions of several Junior high school
principals for high chairs were de
nied. Investigation showed that the
"powers that be” decreed that high
chairs, short skirts and rolled stock
ings cannot all remain together In
the same classroom. Since the teach
ers demand the right to keep up to
the minute in style, the high chair
must go.

the favorite colors for men were scar

Women were said to favor pale
shades, such as salmon pink, pale

woman preferred dark colored flowers,
the dressy woman pale tones, and the
artistic woman a blend of two or three
colors.
