After leaving Richmond I rode the Silver Meteor down the east coast to Jacksonville. It was an enjoyable ride and I was becoming a confirmed advocate of train travel, little' realising my heyday was practically over. I got on the train for New Orleans and began walking through the cars looking for the reclining chair section. To make a long story short there weren't any, nor any ventilation, nor any air conditioning, nor anything, but dirt and bumps. It was a 24 hour ride, with an 11 p. m. to 2 a. m. layover in podunk junction somewhere in the wilds of Northern Florida. Here is my reaction recorded at the time of the tragedy. Train slow air too close Body sticky face morose Scenery dull twigs, dry grass Mind praying time to pass Hate to live hate to breathe Sooty windows filthy sleeve Man bawls drinks, gum, candy Lucky shotgun isn't handy station Stop at every beat-uwild elation meet People Negro walking by a fence Eying train figure tense Eager wishing he were I Foolish human lucky guy Backsides numb tailbone bent Wonder why I ever went -- p wailing moan Like a drug calls me to roam. Then came New Orleans. Gosh what a town! I arrived at 7:30 a m. and left at 11 that night. It was March 5th, the last day of the Mardi Gras celebration, a experience. There s no telling how many hun dreds of thousands had arrived for the celebration, each one with but one thought in mind- to have a good time. Today, it seems the almost universal synonym for that is drinking, and I shudder to think how much had been consumed in that city during those five days of the celebration. Most of the people were in costumes, men, women, and children, and from my vantage point on the cab of a truck used for taking moving pictures, kindly provided for me by some good hearted soldier, I could see everything. I was the mob, thank heavens, which was the largest, noisiest mass of seething humanity I've ever seen. It really put Times Square on New Year's Eve to shame. I was in an ideal spot to see the parade, which was one of the highlights of the day. They say a full year's time is spent building the Mardi Gras floats and I wouldn't doubt it. They were lavishly gawdy and very beautiful. When the parade was over, I took the excursion boat up the Missouri River. It was a grand trip and I hastily transferred my allegiance from trains to boats. Too bad there wasn't a canal from there to San Diego.

It's not true. It is true Mrs. Viva Munk has returned however that working people are numerous and therefore a powerful to her home and reported a very segment of American society. People who want to overthrow the only system on earth that gives a working man a chance are very wise to ask the workers' help. It can't be done without them. Communism has failed exactly as often as it has been tried, and Karl Marx has been dead more than sixty years. This doctrine of "tear down in haste and rebuild at leisure" has been tried on American soil. Time after time, each experiment at having everything in common, comes down of its own poison and dies or relapses into a dictatorship. Communism is a political disease. Social Epidemlo Russia is called a Communistic nation but it is far from it. The government set out in that direction once, broke down property lines, degraded the family to baudy level, overthrew the church, rejected God and bogged down in abject poverty. Now it is being run by a minority party, made up of some 3 of the citizens, and nobody else can eveD vote. A sorry situation they have. Under a dictatorship Russia is doing a little better than it did under Communism but still is nothing to brag about. Russian wages are not more than a third as high as those in America. If the average Russian farmer should visit the average American farmer he would think he was in a king's palace. There is a cure for this plague and next week I'll write about that. hours touring the famous French Quarter, and it exceeded all my expectations. It was a slow process worming through the crowds, but a delightful one. It was as though I was in an entirely different country. The little narrow streets, the old French antique shops, the picturesque patios, the balconies, the noisy food vendors, the gay celebrants all contributed to the exotic tempo-othe scene, I bought a few then turned my steps toward Canal Street for the night parade. I didn't have such a grandstand seat that time, but I could see the floats and catch the spirit of the occasion. It was an exciting climax, and as I climbed back into reality on a much nicer train that night, I marked down March 5 th in New Orleans as one more of the indispcnsible days in my life.
