(by mail) We had planned to catch tho 6 p. m. boat at Buffalo for Detroit thus duplicating the time saving qualities of the Albany night bout, being trans ported on our way as we slept. But the fog soon cleared after our early start, and we sped over the hills and valleys of the Empire .state a continuous switch back through beautiful farming country faster than we anticipated. We approached Buffalo about two-thirty in the afternoon and didn t tancy killing time in that city for three hours waiting for the boat to embark, so took the loft hand fork for Cleveland, Ohio, giving Buffalo the go-by. In the outskirts of Eric, Pennsylvania, an open touring car nasscd us. with waving of hands and blowing of horn, and we were able to distinguish the party of four three young ladies and a bald-headed, dapper young man, who occupied the table next us, in tho dining salon of the "Jtennsaelcr" the night before. They were a vaudeville troupe en route to the Cleveland Exposition, so our waiter told us. Our car was the first to leave the boat, and this was the first caravan of our follow passengers td overtake boat, and shoved off at ten of the way. So we figured the havo been an auto racer in his tho vaudevillians had started Thev caught a green light just never saw them again. Hope Cleveland, Ohio appeared strangely deserted and quiet, at seven p. m. daylight saving, correspondent to figure it out, until He realized tnat nis last visit to the metropolis of the Great, Lakes was during the G. 0. P. convention. Motoring about before ten. to be exact had "Francisco after the Big game, Euclid Avenue, without interruption at do miles an hour. Uur plan was to catch Route No. 2, for Chicago, make our way through Cleveland before dark and find a place to sleep, somewhere on the far western passed directly by the Great. Lakes Exposition, and the sight of the pennants flying from gaily colored flag poles, tho im pressive pylons, in striking incandescent colors, and crowds moving through the turnstiles proved too much for US' at least one of us (yes, we have a travelling companion on this trip, a young man, 21, in search of a publisher) so we parked the car in a nearby parking place, bags, dust, crumpled news papers and nll,-Mind hied to the press booth. Hero we met the same veteran the press at the Chicago Exposition two summers before, so it took us no time at all to get our credentials. Wo explained wo were only there for the evening, but our mugs had to bo shot just tho same, pasted on' enough admission tickets, to provide for a two weeks stop, and advised to take in the danee of the voils, which got "pretty hot about three in the morning." We let it go at that. Wo had no time to explain, that one of the parly was loo smart and the by that sort of hocus pocus, and least eight hours sleep before morning. The first tiling to do was to lunched lightly en route, seven stato service station. Profiting wasted no time wandering aimlessly about looking for restau rant signs but grabbed the first exposition guard we could find and received the lowdown. ' (Tho Cleveland guards, by tho way, arc just as clean-cut, courteous, and collegiate as those at Chicago.) Ho advised the Strand or the Piccadilly, wo ean't recall which, but we know it was English and next to the Globe Theatre Flayers, His Nibs going to the troublo of drawing a diagram on the back of an envelope so we couldn't miss it. Strango to relate we didn't miss it, for one newspaper man is bad enough, but get two of them together, their missing average where such a practical matter as directions is concerned, we havo already discovered is high very high indeed. Equally strango to relate tho dinner was a good one, for it was late and good dinners at expositions aro almost as rare, as good peanuts at a circus. So there wo sat on a beautiful, clear summer evening, and consumed our rare roast beef and trim ming, while in tho air above us a couple of graceful Goodyear dirigibles sailed around, ribbons of rainbow lights playing over the roofs of the buildings, on the right and before us, a group of boys and girls from the Globe TJientre company executing folk dances before a stately aetorine, made up skillfully to represent the imperious Queen Elizabeth. It was all very nice very and jauntily lighting a cigarette wo asked the Anne Hathaway waitress, who she was going to vote for, for presi dent. She hesitated, brushed an invisible crumb from the table cloth with her napkin and finally avowed as she didn't know. At homo she said everyone was for Coughlin, but sho hadn't made up her mind. The young man in search of a publisher put in his oar at this point (he has been reporting for a New York paper for nearly a year and prides himself on "getting his man" or girl as the case may be), and remarked Cough lin was not a candidate was sho for Landon, Roosevelt or liomko? "Who is liomke?" asked tho young lady. "He is the Third party candidate. "What is the Third party?" . . , This was too much for the young man who had been devoting his energies to covering the Col'feo market, and has had littlo time to dovoto to politics, but fortunately for him tho waitress was called to another table at this point, so his confusion and failure were not noticed. "What Ihe devil IS the Third party?" inquired the young man sotto voce, with one eyo on the vanishing back of the waitress, "you know I think she's Irish; they're tough to handle tho Irish!" When the waitress finally returned, she had nothing more to offer regarding politics so we decided it best not to bring up the matter again, but gently let it drop. We had started out with a splendiferous scheme to secure a cross section of political opinion from coast to coast. Three service station employes had been "contacted" during the day, and only one of them responded. He was an elderly gentleman in New York near the city where the Euna Jettiek shoes for women are made we passed directly by tho factory but he wasn't very EXXA .IETTIOK. His boy was working the rami while he handled the service station and it took him a full hall" hour to get us supplied with gas, oil, water and return with the change, lie said up slate New York was going strong for l.audon, and he was agin Tammany, but in spite of everything he was going to vole for Hose-felt. Yep, he figured it out Hose-felt had his faults but he was the first president since T. H. that really had the money boys on the run, told 'em where to head in and he was for him and against Wall Street. He also said that this was a dairy country, when milk was up he was up and when it was down everything was down, and Rose volt's N'liA and AAA and sich had helped the dairy farmers, and if the big money boys hadn't ordered the supreme court lo throw them codes out, everything would be fine and dandy. As it was milk was down so low there was probably going, to be a milk strike and that would ruin his business entirely, etc., etc, etc.. but he was for Hose-felt, - What oilier politirnl ideas Ihe old boy had we don't know, but be had them for we were forced to run out on him still us. Ave had breakfast on the seven, not wasting any time on bald-headed young man must youth, for we couldn't believe less than an hour after we did as it was changing and we they didn't meet a motor cop I and it took some time for your that time of day a few weeks been like motoring back to ban but this evening we sped down outskirts of the city. But No. 2 newspaper man who handled other too old, to be intrigued we were determined to get at setting out at daylight the next get something to eat, we had hours before, at a New York by our Chicago experience we talking. The two other service technique and professed they didn't know, or as one explained "the boss wouldn't let him talk politics, was bad for business." So this grand plan of securing a cross section of political opinion from coast to coast, will probably have to be abandoned, as many other grand plans have had to be. However it may be better going west of Chicago. In frequent trips to the Atlantic sea board in recent "years we have discovered this the average man and woman, east of Chicago doesn't like to talk to strangers, the average man and woman west of the Windy City, likes nothing better. . How to see anything as beautiful and interesting as the Cloveland Exposition in three or problem. Oetting a general idea from the sightseeing bus, or taking in some one thing well, was debated pro and eon, and the latter course was adopted. So wo took in the Globe Players in Julius Caesar, the young man being among other things some thing of a Shakespearean scholar. He also is musical plays the flute and violin 'cello. He has a flute in his bag, protected by an expensive looking pigskin ease but he hasn't played it yet. No doubt that will come later perhaps when he meets up with another Irish girl! Julius Caesar was good, Cassius,, however, not only had a lean and hungry look, but seemed resting under the delusion, that he was engaged in a pantomime made the. most terrible faces, but talked in not only a mild but practically inaudible fashion. Moreover we don't believe we like our Shakespeare abridged and diluted and are quite certain that having the Scotch bagpipers and the May Pole dancing, going on on the outside, while tho barker drums up patronage for the next performance (all quite audible within), is an obstacle to one's thorough enjoyment of the lines. However a ticket was only forty cents so we got our money's worth. , ,'-. . The combination of British roast beef (rare), Shakespeare, condensed,, and frustrated politics, must have done somothing to us, mentally, for no one looked at the gas gauge of the car until tno tamiiy bus stopped dead in a dark park along the lake front and we found the needle doing its best to get below the zero mark. But Lady Luck was'with us for the car had stopped one block from the only service station within a radius of seven or eight miles and tho voung man could still WALK! ' R. W. R.

Purely per sonal piffle: Tho first clown I ever saw scampered up and chucked me under the chin. Scaring mo so grandma took me home with a con gestive chill. Sug gestlon for wrest lers we see In the news reels: Arm each with a meat cleaver. Required reading: "Gone With the Wind.' For the best play o n words since Dean Swift: Jeffrey Roche's "Her Majesty the King." I warm to pipe smoking men who stroll with dogs at sun-down. Billy Rose can demand and get the highest pay of any American. And five years ago he was known as 'Tannic Brice's husband." High in martial mix-ups: Tommy Manville sailing with his pretty sten ographer, his- third and divorced wife on the same boat and his fourth and current wife watting for him in Eng land. Not many enjoying life so fully can look as glum as Damon Runyon. My first time out at grand opera a dowager, socked to the crown with diamonds, clucked: "Boy, bring me a program." And me in a dress sultl Ask an out-of-towner where he'd like to dine and It's usually Jack Demp sey's. Most publicized of New York restaurants: "No. 21." String beans are best cold with vinegar. A Samuel Pepys favorite. Novla Scotia always sounds so cool lsh. Most original of all vaudeville singing acts Eva Tanguay's. Give me Patsy Kelly and Gene Lockhart and I'll promise they'll steal the show from any stars you name. This Is so good It must be old Silence is the college yell of the School of Experi ence. Corkscrew Is the most difficult English word for a Frenchman to pro nounce. It gets clotted up in the back of the mouth near the tonsils where the French "r" lives. Add consuming hates: Scientific books with humor ous illustrations. When a boy, anyone who could whistle through his teeth was my hero. No New York theatre has the stately glamour of the old Empire. Swell fiction name Nero Wolfe. For whimsey, not many writers top Heywood Broun. And In a radical vein, none is so boring, Myrna Loy seems to have bequeathed her vulpine smile to a lot of Imitators. Oldest of newspaper names: Wamby Bald. He's a sophisticate who has succumbed to the movies. Goes to two or three a day. Too much Robert Taylor on the screen. He's not that charming. I know a sky writer who is terror ized by a bumblebee. No one has touched Will Rogers' description of Calvin Coolldge: "A close chewer and a tight spltter." Any country that thrills to bull fighting could easily go the way of Spain. Sid Solomon Is trying to sell England the hamburger stand Idea, Kathleen Norrls is an eager cryptographer. She is known among the guild as Cayenne. Nobody can beat Royal Brown writing of wondrous boy and girl love. Next big radio sensation: A. L. Alex ander's Good Will Court. Loveliest of the blond socialites: Janet Ryan. A gripping moment In the theatre, Bar bara Stanwyck's scene in "The Noose." No periodical has shown such venom for newspapermen and pub lishers as Time. And no magazine Is so widely Imitated as Reader's Digest. Embarrassing moment: Being accost ed by Fleurette, the one-legged co cotte on white crutches, along the Boulevard des Sopuclnes. The most popular poem over the air, I hear, is the one Major Bowes reads frequently Sunday mornings: "The best things in life are free." Wonder what those peddled puppies think the first night among the lights of Broadway? For my money, Wayne King plays the waltzlest waltz times. Eddie Guest keeps a scrap book of roasts and reads them when he feels a bit cocky.
