MR. FRILEY TELLS OF LIFE ON BOARD SHIP! (Continued from Col. 3, Page 1) lives. Beyond the experience of that | one mornirg we haven't had the | slightest trace of seasickness. To all of which we are ready to take solemn oath, in spite of the incredible and ri- bald laughter in which some of our hard-bciled friends are likely to in- dulge. We have already covered over two- thirds of the journey across and the experience so far has been intensely interesting, particularly in view of the fact that everything is new to us. There has been just enough of wind and wave to make a lively background without being uncomfortable. Sunday was an ideal day, the ocean compar- atively calm, very little wind and a de- lightful spring sunshine. It was hard to realize that we were in the month | of March, which is reputed to have | such terrors for the luckless traveler | across the seas. Frankly, I do not | see how a voyage could be more pleas- ant. Life (n a big ocean l'ner is just one | thing after another. At 7 o’clock I| am awakened by a voice at the door of our stateroom advising that “Your | bawth is ready, sir.” And I step in- | to a delightful warm sea “bawth™ which in itself is almost worth the | trip. Then at 7:30 Prexy is aroused! by the same cheerful words. After | that we walk around the deck seven times—a mile—then intc the dining room for breakfast. The morning | goes by very quickly, what with read- | ing, resting, walking ‘round the deck | and talking with new acquaintances— and, incidentally, the absence of all formality among passengers on board ship is very noticeable, and quite as it should be. Luncheon at one, and for the af- | terncon most any sort of amusement | that one could wish. At 6:30 we be- | gin dressing for dinner, which is at | 7. This dressing for dinner is the | life! In fact Prexy is so carried away | with it that he has decided upon a| complete reorganization of his house- | hold when he returns. : We had just gotten settled in our stateroom on the first day out when the chief steward came in and said; “The Captain presents his compli- ments, gentlemen, and requests that you have seats at his table.” Which | i report that Prexy has become an in- | sidering the advisability f suspend- | request we very promptly complied | garding our further adventures. with.

About 30 men were out and before it was over Dr. Bizzell had given them a vision of the A. & M. of today that brought out an astonishing respcnse. One of the im- mediate results was that L. D.
