Detroit, Mich.

Emily McNamara, with good looking girls to spare, Borrowed a friend's car on a day bright and fair. Off to Ann Arbor they merrily sped― They may be thankful they're not all dead.

Laughing and chatting, the happy trioRan head on into a Reo. Headlights here and fenders there—The boys in the Reo were mad enough to swear.

But Emily just flashed a smile so rare, That the bill they cancelled then and there.

Mrs. Francis Fox, nee Carol Larkin, ex-Detroit Comptometer Instructor, is the mother of a fine baby boy. We wonder will Carol make him a Comptometer salesman.

The Misses Marie and Josephine Mumford have been in New York operating Comptometers for some time, but are back to stay. They say Detroit is home to them.—Miss M. B. McCall.

Worcester, Mass.

Miss Cora Ferris, formerly Mr. G. E. Whelpley's right hand aid as teacher and demonstrator, has hit upon a novel idea which keeps her busy all the time. Thoroughly familiar with all Comptometer work found in banks, Miss Ferris has built up a fine clientele with these organizations, especially the banks in the smaller towns, and she is kept busy traveling from one bank to another figuring their quarterly dividends, interest, and being generally helpful in handling their peak loads. She is rendering a real service.

I know a number of our teachers, salesmen and operators who have met and know personally our former instructress, Mrs. Earl D. Clark (formerly Miss Lettie M. Elliott), will be pleased to hear that she has presented her husband with a lovely baby girl. Who can tell what the future will bring. Maybe she will follow her mother's footsteps, a future demonstrator and instructress.—Mildred C. Nilson.
