The Ismalia train, it seemed, had heen sidetracked' far down in the freight yards bo that the Ismalians might have- a good chance to sleep. But the local committee thought 5 o'clock was none too early to get out of bed, and, led by Noble McCusker, they stum bled over switch tracks, crawled under boxcars and dodged shuffling freight engines until they had located the prodigal party. One by one they got the Buffalo people out of their cars and took them in the watting automo biles to their hotels.

The window has attracted considerable attention from the Shriners, who by word of mouth passed the news of it along to other Shriners. The result was the window has been a drawing card. The window shows a desert, real sand being used, and a huge painting 10 feet long In the back brings out the perspec tive of a caravan of camels, tents and whatever else is supposed to be seen on a desert. A life-size Shrlner is shown crossing the sands in the foreground and the whole display has bean a "hit" wltai the visitors.

"Such an education will also give to all people the ability to make a good llvlnc. to understand tie real value or wealth and the saorednesa of human life; It will give to all ideas that would lift them above the petty Jealousies, and put them in harmony with the things that unite mankind rather than those that divide the human family Into hostile camps."
