THE UNION-RECOHDEE. MILXEDGEV1LLE. CA-, AUGUST 3. 1*31
Tk. Century of Profrco! Ob Boy!
The fest thing: I hdard boforc
leaving for this trip was from Jcre
—and he raid—“Be sure to write
up the trip" ! had just as well try
to tell you about the creation of the
earth—you would have to . be on
hand to sec for yourself. However
—there are a few dot* I might give
to those who expect to take *he
trip (there will be another Fowler
party August 18th—I understand)
and a few high-lights 1 might men
tion for the ••edification” of those
who can't get there. To begin with
there are not enough words in
the dictionary to start the tale. So
no matter what I write—magnify it
as far a.- you went in multiplication
—and you may arrive at the start
ing point. I could not tail to say
a word ribout the trip up—and how
439 folks lived on the train for a
day and a night without having a
fight. And DID we go in style? It
took the "party from Gaw-gaw" to
win the cake by carrying along our
own “staff” of maids, cooks and
butlers. If you’re ever been any
where with Lin Fowler managing the
trip—you can just know that it was
all to the last bite of chicken pie—
or words to that ef'ect. We had our
own train—tbmnlr you—and could
tell anybody when to get off. We
allowed the “Beaut.* Special” to go
a far as Macon with ui—as we left
the day summer school closed—and
when we got to Atlanta, we board
ed the Pullmans. Our crowd was from
all over “Gaw-gaw”—and as “my
duughter" from Washington, D. C.,
! .otned the party in Macon—and the
I < ne from Fort Worth Texas—join
ed us in Chicago—you can see that
| we reached out and roped them in
1 fiom all •surrounding points. And
DID we have fun,
Uncle Henry Wootten wa* in his
best form and was quite “the beau"
of the “excursion". You would pass
thru car No. 8 and find him “carry
ing on" with a goodlooking blonde
—and bless Patty—when you dash
ed thru car No. 14—he had already
b> at you to it and was having 'many
words with a dariiing brunette. There
I is cne good thing about it—his good
j woman doesn't care—for he is al-
| ways at his best when she is about.
I 1 .ie le: s 1 say about “Preacher'
! Harri: being the life of the party
—the best it might be, but since
| Mrs. 11—was along to see after him
i —I didn't have to bother my mind.
There were many little things that
I i-.appentd that I might tell you about
| —but since some things are best
kept in the bosom of the family—
it might be safer (for me)—to con
tinue my write-up about the Fair.
The only fly in my ointment was
the "hunch" that Dr. Amanda John
son had (she was with us) that yours
truly was going to be kidnapped on
this trip, and everytime I met her,
here and there—it almost seemed
as though there was a remnant of
regret in her voice when she would
say—“so you aje still with us."
However—as we went from the sta
tion (on one of those two-atory
busses) to the Sherman Hotel (on
the Loop—and where we resided
style)—a terrific explosion almost
stopped my heart and I gasped—
“The Gang at last”—and prepared
to faint. But it was only a back
fire. Dr. Johnson did not return
with us—but I am quite sure that
she will be terribly disappointed to
learn that I got safely home, which
put her prophary all to the bad. 1
didn't lay awake much thinking
about it far I was on the sixteenth
floor—and those walls are pretty-
hard tc climb.
The first step is—buy you a guide
book—they cost a quarter. In the
front of this—there if a map of the
entire Fair—every atraction num
bered and the place marked. For the
fifty cents you spend for entrance
to the ground#—there ore 85 exhibi
tion buildings which you can enter
—and by consulting your guide
book—you may decide which of
these you deem most worth while,
for It is Impossible to take them all.
The firrt official tour lasts- around
tl ee hours (with a lecturer guide)
and is a wonderful start. As far as
possible this tour touches an import
ant place in as many of the build
ings ar possible and gives you some
thing to base vour -other visits up-
-n. The official tour of the city is
-flendid, and more ground may be
. covered ’n thi* way, and more im-
mrtant points touched in the two
or three hours than an individual
could possibly reach otherwise. The
i lecturers are college boys- I am sure
—and they know their job. We were
' fortunate in both tours to have a
I eiack-er-jack—and especially the
young fellow who took our bus
around the city—and he not only
. ‘showed‘all the young folks in the
' party a good time"—but he had
I one himself. We saw Clarence Dar-

got around to them all. We saw the
heroic carving of the group of peo
ple representing “Life"—passing
Father Time. This verse was the
key-note of the carver's inspiration
—“Time flies you say—I know—
alas—Time stays—we go! ” We saw
the wonderful chapel out at the,
University of Chicago with its
organ of 9.000 pipes, and In the
tower of which is the Laura Spel-
man Rockefeller carillon. This ranks
-with that in the Riverside Church,;

In sharp contrast to scener of fot-
mer years there is litle activity
these Jays on Ellis island, at New
York city, America’s largest immi
gration station, which is under the
special scrutiny of a fact finding
committee appointed by Frances
Perkin-, secretary of labor.
Formerly 5,000 South Europeans.
Galician.-. Hungarians and Scandina
vians entered the portal? daily, plan-
r ng to pick gold off the city streets.
Now an average of 500 or more a
day leave through the same doors,
going back to their native lands in
search of a nearly forgotten prosper
ity.
They used to line up under a huge
-.reel she’d before ttts administra-1
tion building. Now the shed ir gone, j
and where the newcomers used to
stand is a circrlar flower bed. The ,
dormitories inspection and hearing
rooms, recreation chambers and ex-1
r. ruination places have been con
verted into offices for the clerical
and administrative staffs which,
* range to say, have increased since
immigration dwindled.
There are 56,000 re-entry permits
to be "made out each year. The legal
division has custody of 1,500 aliens
under bails. About once a month the
deportation train makes its way
across the continent from Spokane,
Wa.-h., picking up voluntary ai.J in-
vcluntsry deportees, their sparse be
longings and the guards who ac
company them.

trip up in the Otis Elevators (the
very last word in ruch cars) is a
m relation. Of course, I was inter
ested in Otis—as were the other
two "Hines" (both boys being with
Otis) so we "did the Tower” to a
fare-ye-well—had a talk with the
boys on duty—(at the top—where
the view was) signed in th- book—

“Yours Truly” was the only member
of the party (consisting of mother,
uncles and aunts) that had nerve

she just naturally felt that she must
not let that nerve fail her at this
late date.

Wrigley building, beautifully white j
because it is .he only building ini

every now and then—at the coast
of $12,000 a bath. We saw the smal

not agree. To me—the view at night
—from the Tower of the Sky-ride

of fairyland—or your memories of
Arabian Nights stories—you can
not-conceive of anything so wonder

on one of the rocket-cars—which
ply between these two Towers—
(028 feet high) at a distance of 200
feet from the ground, but you can
not give your whole attention to
the view as you can on top one of

during the ride, with little thrills and

Children wbo are thin and pale and
who lack ap|Kti!c are usually Buffering

Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. It contains
irou which makes lor rich, red blood.
It also contains tasteless quinine which
tends to purify the blood. These two
effects make it an exceptional medicine

Tasteless Chill Tonic will work wonders
in your child. It will sharpen his appetite,

Performance and Safety is the
Record of the
Ford V-8
It is time for you to know the facts
IN A RECENT TEST CONDUCTED UNDER THE DIREC
TION OF THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
A CERTIFICATE OF PERFORMANCE WAS ISSUED WHICH
CAVE THE FOLLOWING FACTS.
The Ford V-8 1933 Two-Door Sedan, A)otor No. 18-332364
was driven over the Mt. Vernon Memorial Highway, Wash
ington, D. C., a Distance of 3,022.1 miles at an average of
27.468 miles per hour from a standing start.
ESTABLISHING AN AVERAGE OF 22.S32 MILES PER
GALLON OF GASOLINE
This certificate of performance issued under the authority
of the A. A. A. proves unquestionably the economical per
formance of the Ford V-8.
AND FOR SAFETY—THE 1F0RD V-8 IS EQUIPPED WITH
THE ONE PIECE ALL STEEL BODY WHICH IS THE
STRONGEST, SAFEST, QUIETEST, MOST DURABLE
BODY MADE.
The all steel body is more expensive to Mr. Ford, but not
to you. In (he Ford V-8 there are no joints to styueak, no

hicles.
