A number of sets of cards arc fur nished with each machine, Including multiplications ami addition, language, phonetics, history, the constitution and geography.

Honolulu, Feb. 23.—Glaring auto mobile headlights almost caused tho wreck of the lug interisland steam< r lialeakala and possibly the new con crete wharf at Mala harbor, island of Maui. As the lialeakala approach ed tlie wharf an automobile, with powerful headlights, raced along the structure heading directly toward the vessel, blinding the captain and liis fellow officers for a few seconds. When they again glimpsed the wharf they were almost on it, and only a quick reversal of tho engines averted a crash. Tho matter was called to the attention of the territorial board of harbor commissioners, and here after automobiles passing onto the wharf will ttse their dimmers. Communists Return.

From Cheyenne to Omaha Afoot; Leaves From Wanderers Notebook To have walked across Nebraska from Cheyenne in the dead of win ter Is no mean feat. ^ et Henry Arthur line'll, a roving newspaper man, has just completed the jour ney. Lifts from friendly motorists lightened his way. and his observa tions have all the quietude of a traveler de luxe, though he got much closer to reality than if he had s|>ed past on a fast train. By HENRY ARTHUR BUCK. The west Is still filled with romance! uni great scenery, awaiting .those who seek It. it is real stuff, folks! I krtow, because I walked Nebraska on foot, and did not miss it. The question, "What db you think of Nebraska?" has prompted me to put into type impressions this state n.ade upon my mind, in comparison with others. Each nnd every state lias characteristics of some sort that keep it fresh in memory and place it apart from even its neighboring en virons, This fact, perhtypB, is very veil known, but «me \«hrt travels "on foot" is more inclined to draw sharp distinct ions than those who find it necessary to cover the same route, day in and out, always looking for the change that they rarely ever find. Journalises are apt very often to forget "self" in tlie appreciation and study of,nature, and I am living as a journalist! Have Nebraskans noticed any great Contrast, for example, between their own state and that of Wyoming? If they have, the enjoyment has been keen, but if they have not, there is much to he learned in that direction. The self-acknowledged "unobserv ants" should, as a cure, take the Lin coln highway from the city of Oma ha and travel westward to Cheyenne nr points farther west In that state, bearing in mind that they are travel ing for the purpose of educating themselves in the many features of beauty that they have heretofore been passing up fo»r granted. i he magnitude of this state, the wonder ful roads, rich farm lands and healthy cuttle, all go to make such a trip Im pressive and lasting in memory. 1 f,-,! firm in the belief, too, that while there are hundreds of tourists travel ing the roads year in and year out, the majority seem to enjoy possible gilts beyond and do r.ot study the territory that runs up their mileage and costs so much gas and oil. Occasionally, I have become ac quainted with travelers who Insisted that "It all looks alike to them," and of course these sightseers see no sights. The state pf Nebraska is very beautiful, as Indeed are all western states, but it Is in a class by Itself, I believe, especially from farming standpoints. Between the citiea of North Watte and Omaha, the large tracts «.f a! fa I fa land would attract the atten tlon of almost any easterner, the ! richness of the crops are outstanding features, not to mention quantities that appear enormous. There can be no question but that the west is a country of abundance; this is proven by such a journey, from one state to another, as I have made. Contrast is first noticeable when the newcomer crosses the state line near Pine Bluff0, AVyo. The land changes, roads, are better, and the temperature milder. Immense flocks of pheasants are also attractions along the way. Even the smallest towns in Ne braska have the up to-date appear ance, and all have apparently com pletely shaken the old western char acteristics. Kimball, North Platte. Kearney. Columbus, North Bend and Fremont are all little cities, complete and equipped to meet the demands of the most particular visitors. The air of 1924 is made stronger, perhaps, by the little telltales arid beacons that are placed along the great air route, virtually linking the postoffice of this city with that In j Cheyenne, AVyo. How different from i 1S70? That was the thought thatj first caVne to my mind w hen I com-1 pared the vest with what it was, in the long ago, and the changes that j have made the new west. But the adventuresome need not be downcast! If they are in search of wilderness and secusion the state of Nebraska will lead them to it, on the far north trail, through desolate, iso lated spots far Into South Dakota and the Black Hills, where lies the body of “Wild Bill" Hiekok, the sensa tional gunfighter of long ago. where also lies many prominent Ill-fated characters, all of noteworthy mention, who tried to live to see the upright honorable open heart'd west that ex ists today. Those who are thrilled by the es sene* or wua i ® * in North Platte, onetime lorn* pf "Buffalo Bill" Cody, famWif and buffalo hunter, who was moth ered by this slate. The trail, fcads north, south and west intp vrd**’ tracts of beautiful country, from the long state of Nebraska to the other heralded spots of wonder 1 and en chantment. Klghta that I have seen, and that remain for ages for others to see, should not he passed up for European trips. If you cannot appreciate the magnitude and outstanding growth and beauty of the great west, es pecially west of the Missouri river, then European Journeys wilt not arouse your enthusiasm.
