Describing Journey Abroad
The following is the second of a

We landed at Cherbourg Monday
morning, January seventeenth, at
nine, too late to get the evening ti ain
to Paris, even had we limbed to take
it. We went to the Anglo-American
Hotel, kept by an English ex-many
officer, and left by the six o'clock
train the next morning for Parisi We
did but little sight-seeing in Pais,
save one evening when we drove about
the pleasure grounds for an hour and
saw the French capital in its mylind
It is a thirteen-hour ride by express
ttam from Paris to Marseilles. We
made it with comparative comioit on
Friday. The scenic past of the mute
was after nightfall, and was therefore
not the enjoyable feature it might
otherwise have been. But the next
day in Marseilles we gave ourselves
up to sight-seeing. Twice berme I
had taken the idle over the Corniche,
the train line that follows the coast
for a long way east of the hanbor and
each time with enjoyment But that

ed to the south-west from the barbel.
Its existence I had not so much as
suspected in other years. It was fas
cinatingly beautiful, clear-cut xc a
cameo.
Interesting Views
The course along which our car
took us is eYeeedingly Woken, and
for much of the distance there is
room for only the car line and a
street. The sea was lough and at
times the surf lolled in in five or sis
lows of breakers That afternoon
we took a taxi to the foot of the tunic
vim, and made the ascent to the
Church of Notre Dame de la Guide,
whence one gets some of his best views
of ;the city We made other eyet.r
siohs to the appioach that has been
built to the railway station, since my
1. 'sit to Marseilles in 1922, and to the
fine Triumphal Arch.
Sunday morning we made our way
to the high iron bridge that SP VIS
the entrance to the Old Port. Ilere
we ascended in a "lift," and walked
over the bridge, and back, witl. other
fine veyvs of the city and the harbor.
From the budge we walked to the
Cathedral, the hugest church built in
the nineteenth century. It is in the
Romano-Byzantine style, in red and
white-marble, and is admired by folio
that like that soft of thing.
Our enthusiasm was aroused by the
fortified church of St Vietoi, a mile
away on the other side of the Old
Port, which eve again crossed on a
swing bridge suspended by cables
from a cal that ions on the high
bridge above. Marseilles, you mast
know, is very old, having been found
ed centuries before the beginning of
our era by the Phoenicians, Intel to
become Greek; lutes still to become
Roman; a millemum and more berme
it thought of itself as French.
Lazarus' Tomb
But of Phoenicians, Greek and Ro
man remains there ale almost none
save the relics in the Musee Boldly
and in the crypt of St Victor. A
guide took us down to the cunt where
we saw pelts of churches of three us
foul different centuries, an the eain-

est of all, which he asserted was of the
first eentuty. There can he no doubt
that it is very ancient indeed, but it
rather staggered out beliefs when we
were shown the tomb of Lazarus,
carved limn the living rock. Then in
my thin, I somewhat dr,turibed the
guide, when I crawled into the en
hance of Lazarus' tomb, to examine
it o little mole closely
It is the church above, however,
that uill_make its appeal to most
travelers. It is of the se-called for
tified type, with no windows on one
side and but three tiny ones on the
other side, perhaps flinty feet from
the (loot and with battelmented walls
Within, the roof as supported by tuo
rows of slender, clustered piers of
light tinted stone, with very beauti
ful effect.
- At the rear of the church is a sta.,
tue of Lazarus with a bone of the
~ aint behind glass in a niche cut in
the pedestal We all enjoyed our
visit lime and all pronounced it a dear
old church I left it, more enthusias
tic than after my first visit four yenta
ago
Monday INC took a second trip over
the Corniche, but it was tame as
compared with that of Saturday, for
there was no surf and the haze was
so great as to conceal the mountains
that had added so much to the scene
on Saturday. We prolonged our ex
cursion as fat as to the Masco Sorely,
which has a woi thy collection though
lot pin titularly noteworthy. We
were much interested in a model of
the city as it was in 1821; and I was
particularly interested in a Latin In
scription that bad been elected some
\Nsei° within the city by Louis XV,
and that as nearly as I can recollect,
begins in this way• "Marseilles, the
daughter of the Phoenicians, sister•
of Rome, tenor of Cal thage and em
ulator of Athens"—
The last lop of our long journey
began on the twenty-fifth, when we
sailed from Marseilles on the "Mai
lett° Pacha" of the Massagenes Mar
otime Line When I learned in Paris
that the hour of sailing was one
o'clock in the afternoon, my heart
sank, fin I feared that we would lose
out on thehshaits between Corsica and
Sardinia and between the toe of It
aly and Sicily and perhaps fail to see
Stromboli, but in the retrospect I am
rot sure that scenically the trip could
have been bettered.

THE PENN - S
Contending for the affirmative, the
Penn State team declared that under
existing laws, conditions are intolei
able and demand a change. To mod
ify the Volstead Act as suggested, is
quite possible constitutionally , and
such modification would be the same
as war-time prohibition which sins
not only successful but practical.
Taking the negatise side of the is
sue, Michigan State argued that any
change from the present law is un
necessary, undesirable and impractic
able because liquor conditions are
really improving. Suggested cluing
eswould be taken only in the direction
of more alcohol, and it is better to
educate to the values of prohibition
lather than to change existing buss
In regard to the showing made by
the Nittany forensic men, Professor
Friazell expressed himself as yell
satisfied with the local orates s "They
made a splendid showing Saturday
night, and both Prof IV. H Wise,
conch of the Michigan State team,
and I agree that, with a Judges' *-
omen on the merits of debating, Penn
State would have won"

meeting in the Hotel Roosevelt, New

The goal posts were ordered back

Touchdowns will be made at the old
line and the playing field remains one

of the rule IS that teams will be fair

This action makes the tally after a
