Silks. 545 Fifth Ave., NEW YORK CITY Pale and Weak "I nranc Cardui i* a wonder ful medicine, for I improved greatly after taking it," eaye Mra. A. W. English, of R.F.D. 4, Roanoke, Va. "When I waa juet a girl of 13, my mother gave thia medicine to me, and it did me a great deal of good. X waa weak and run-down. After I had taken Cardui awhile, I felt much better. "In 1924, my health waa poor. I felt miaerable, and hadn’t enough atrength to do my housework. It took all my willpower to keep up. I waa pale and weak. "1 got Cardui again and took it. My improvement waa wonderful I can recommend Cardui to others, for my health waa ao much batter after I had taken a course of the Cardui Roma Treatment" 1933, for New York. We arrived die morning of the lllh, went to our hottl, met some s: on-td-bc trans Atlantie deck sltterc, rail-benders or what ever you want to call them. At It-1 walking almost, all day over the city, not buying anything, for soon there would be London. Brus sel!!, Paris and all those cities in which to spend, our money. When the time erme for us to get oa the bus to go to Brooklyn where tur steamer was docked. I think *e were ready to go. After an hour's tide to the pier we got out of the last car. Don't know whether I thought of ft at the time or not, but as I rn writing this that silly thought pop ped into my mind—what if we should never see or ride In anoth*r car! Horrors' But It is too foolish for anyone to get his or her head full of such ideas, for I know chat ocean traveling, on a ship as large and beautiful as tir one wc were on, is the safest way in the world. Comfort At hca. At 11 o’clock we were on board and hod been shown to our cabins which were very nice indeed. There was room for four people in it, which meant two would have to sleep “up stairs" that Is, wi had bunks, one above, one below, tery much like a Pullman, but nicer After a thorough inspection of the cabin, we went on deck. It seemed that there weio enough people on the ship to sink it. Hundred had gotten permits to come aboard to s"a the inside be fore time to sail, and believe me. they were there, oh yes, I forgot to tell ihe name of the ship.

Foghorns coulci be heard all ou’' the harbor anu dim lights could be seen in the distance, but no snip was visible. I thought, if this is fog in the U. 8.. what good will it be to go to London, 'cause I'd always heard and read of its being so ter ribly foggy, not all the time, how ever. Nearly everyone in our party Staved up and waited most impati eni ly for the fog to clear away so vye would leave. The German sailors w.V! were off duty would walk up j and down the decics. we tried to I r uke them tell us when we were to j :: til. but some knew no English and ] others, jiist a few words. No satisfac tion was gotten from them. About: 4:50 everyone got quiet and it seem -! ccl that the fog. or maybe the late , hour, was putting everybody to sleep, i Nancy and I were nearly disgusted 1 so we got out of oui deck chairs and went to bed. I had Just turned over fo ■ a nice, warm summer's nap | wjii n I heard a serf. of chugging, noth of us jumped, grabbed our i coats and were on deck., I think, oe-1 fire we realized what we were do- !

Four and a i half liours had been lost: we knew ! we wouldn't dock at Southampton on the 16th. Anyhow , we had to wait and see, there was nothing else to do. Too thrilled to go back to'bed. • we dressed for breakfast at 5:30. Everyone was up early for It wav our first day out, and besides who could tell what the next day would bring, most likely, one of two things, feeling 100 percent, good or 100 per (cnt, well. Just the opposite, let's don't even mention it although nc tnre this “wavery" voyage is over, I j fear I shall have to refer to the va [zious ways of crosr-lng the ocean ! nowadays. Some nave been going m planes, zeppelin* anti probably other ‘f ir devices,” I know nothing about. Tht two I am referring to are those ways which come t > the mwd of the pei son w ho is planning a trip abroad. Finally. Ti<* says :“shall I go by steamer or 'ey rail?” His decis ion is a day or so latter. Do you catch the Joke? Yes, I thought .you would, for after second thought, it is quite simple—most especially alt er one has experienced It. I happen to go by steamer (Just guess lire': was with me), for the “rail-way” looked quite annoying, troublcsom and uneomfortabl Food on the Bremen. Did we have good food? I am still alluding to the Bremen, for this is Just our first day out, I don't know ■.hav adjective to use to describe d.e lood; it was better than I'd ever eaioi and just as much as you i v,mted; there was always an un Hi, sited amount. We Were fed six ! Hares each day, fix during the 'J* ! hours. I should have said. Besides the three main meals, every morning at 10:30 bullion, sandwiches and zwieback (the famous German toast for infants) were given us. In the a’ternoorts tea, coffee, chocolate and fancy German cakes, and at 10:30 p hi., fruits sandwiches and a bev erage again. Entertainment on Board. There was every kind of way tot Us to entertain ourselves. A swim ming pool, gymnasium, all sorts of deck games, a library and orchestra, v r.ieh played for dancing every oth er evening. Another interesting thing was meeting so many people from different parts of the world mid talking with them. Of all the long, short, queer, funny, names 1 have, never seen and heard of so r.iSn.v. I shouldn’t say the weather was n.v too good going over. One bay was bright and sunny, and awfulv warm. We were in the Gulf Stream t.ien. the others were cool and damp. There wasn’t a storm, much to my regret, for 1 wanted to be in an ocean storm before I came home M*d, was I? I’ll write about it later. Inexperienced With Gum. We had heard that the;best kind of chewing gum, Ecech nut, wasn't so easily, obtained In Europe, so most of us bought about ten packs be fore we left home. The German sail ors seem to get a k'ck out of watch ing. us chew <it feally is terrible), go I offered one a piece, he took it, or gan chewing and in a few minuses it had disappeared. The poor thing swallowed it. I tried to explain to hbi how' to keep from swallowing it, but T couldn't, for my German j vocabulary was limited to about six words and he was just as dumb in! English When 1 would see him on deck alter that, all he did was make a face at me, I knew he felt like thrcWing me overboard though, oev vual of them learned to chew cor rectly though, and one especially, the bellboy who always announced the meals. About five minutes before we got off the ship, he came to me and said, "Do you have more gum (' x was sorry, but in less than four day? my large amount had dwindled to ibe last piece and I was chewing tr.at ny c. oast oi r ranee.

Union Trust Co. “IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH” I >>>• But It average! 27 und 28 miles an hour all the ume, and that is plenty fast for a vessel that large to travel. We had an tnrly dinner and at 5:30 we were at Southampton. A tender was sent out about six nii’es from shore to mem us. and *n a shall while we were on land, and tc the customs, first, though, all ot os sent cables that we had landed safely. The funny thing was some of us had 'sea-legs' or ‘sea-knees' when we got off the boat. Ouf lower limb; reemed a bit nervous—it surely was a funny feeling, didn't last long though. Soon we got on the train which vas to take us to London. It was a lovely afternoon and we saw many people playing tennis, others work* mg in their vegetable gardens and others, mostly children who seemed to be counting the coaches on the trains. I saw some beautiful golf courses If I might call one such, the grass looked li’;t velvet, much prettier than some over here. The grass, leaves of trees and flower >re just a different green front ours. It Is teally green, and ours looks iike a drab green, or dead-like color. It was 9:30 when we arrived at. Waterloo station ill London, and stlh the people weie reading their newspapers as they (the people) walked down the streets.

There has been general commend a*ion of Chairman Mull, who pilot ed the Democratic ship through the stormy waves of 1928 and the <jutei ei waters of 1930. It is well deserv ed. No chairman in recent years had more difficult navigating than tell to Mr. Mull in 1928. On one side lay Seylla: on the other icharybdis. He stood on the bridge and brought the State ticket saic ly through, even though he could not steer the national craft into the harbor. Some Democrats criticized him for not putting both in th< saine boat, to sail or sink together Time has demonstrated that his course in 1928 was as wise as Gov ernor Gardner's Boone speech which set the pace for the Democratic campaign of that year. The victory this year in North Carolina, under the chairmanship cl Mr. Mull, is unprecedented, and the chairman is entitled to ).i:n commendation. lie gave hiuuv i fully to organization and direction, an manifested sound judgment.
