If there were a Superman —whose signature on pieces of sky-blue paper had the miraculous power to make your journey in foreign lands easy and comfortable, and at the same time was usable anywhere as actual money and always safe— Would you make those slips of sky-blue paper with that signature a part of your necessary travel equipment? American Express Travelers Cheques are just such pieces of paper. For 30 years they have been a protective and helpful necessity to world travelers. Their influence rests on the international supremacy of the American Express Company. Their service is the practical service of its thousands of correspondents and many separate offices. Worthless until personally counter-signed by the owner, these cheques insure them- selves against theft or loss.

In half an hour the boy returned, hot and triumphant—with two tickets for a bull- fight.—Town Topics (London). A Time Exposure A judge’s little daughter, who had at- tended her father’s court for the first time, was very much interested in the proceedings. After her return home she told her mother: “ Papa made a speech, and several other men made speeches to twelve men who sat all together, and then these twelve men were put in a dark’room to be developed.” —Pearson's Weekly (London). Not for Him “ Here, boy,” said the man to the boy who was helping him drive a bunch of cattle, “hold this bull a minute, will you?” “No,” answered the boy, “I don't mind bein’ a director in this company, but I'm darned if I want to be a stockholder.” —Cartoons.
