The waltz is the heart and soul of All members are requested to pay I old Vienna. There was something in the very air that swept down from the surrounding hills and woods that made the people gay, child-like and courteous. Lovely Vienna! Johann Strauss senior was the first waltz composer, and then his three sons, Joseph, Edward, and Johann Jr. It was Johann Jr. who earned the title, "The Waltz King of the World." He wrote waltzes,'waltzes, waltzes --five Or six hundred of them. And he played them all the way from the brilliant courts of Franz Joseph (and even of Napoleon in Paris) to the public parks where the people of his native Vienna loved to dine and dance. Naturally each was given a name--any name, like "Vienna Blood" or "Tales from Vienna Woods." "The Blue Danube" has made that river eternally blue, though in reality it is blue only if the sky is in a very good humor. The people have placed a "denkmal" (think often) of Johann Strauss Jr. in the city park. Beautiful rhythmic figures in stone float around him, where he seem? still to stand and play his violin. * IVit 1 Q Overton Motor Sales Dutch East Indies' Days Are of About Same Length The Dutch East Indies stretch a distance equal to that from New York to San Francisco. The population totals 52,000,000. The island empire is equal in area to all the states east of the Mississippi with the exception of the state of that name, reaching from the northern tip of Maine to the southern tip of Florida, from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico, including 18 states. The whole empire lies full in the equatorial sun and reaches'from the tip of northwestern Sumatra to the center of New Guinea (Papua). Throughout the islands all days in the year are about the same length, as the islands all lie close to the equator, notes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Dutch East Indies comprise the larger part of the Malay archipelago and are -*situated between Australia and southeastern Asia. Their extent may be realized from the fact that the distance from Sabang, north Sumatra, to Merauke, in New Guinea, respectively the western and eastern limits, is 3,000 miles--as wide as the Atlantic from New York to London. They include such groups as the Moluccas, Celebes, Sunda, Timor and Banda islands. Fourteen distinct kinds of people inhabit these islands, some of them very primitive, others highly civilized. In the manufacture of stockings the size is based on the distance in inches between a point on the toe and a point on the heel measured in a straight line. Size 8 is eight inches more or less from the tip of the toe to the end of the heel. Both men's and women's stockings are measured in this manner. According to the United States bureau of standards, women's stockings are measured as follows: After the hose has been pressed and is flat and unwrinkled, a ruler is placed along a line in which the tip of the toe and the bottom of the heel gore are connected. The hosiery size is the distance in inches along this line from tip of toe to the intersecserved and the afternoon"spent at tion of the ruler with the back of games and visiting.

A few seconds may be the actual time of a dream that seemed to carry the dreamer through a long series of adventures. Dreams have no significance whatever in the foretelling of the future. They are merely impression pictures, often distorted, created by our senses in our relationship with existence.
