O'Brien, staff writer, appeared in the New York World- Telegram of September 18: “Swell” is a wearied word, frayed| and battered, and when it limps from the lips of most people it means little save irritation to list- eners. Except, indeed, when Elsie Eliza- | beth Geise, plump, blonde and 10, says “Swell!” Then it means some- thing, then it glows for all its con- stant repetitions. Elsie, all in blue, a blue beret dipped saucily over her thick hair, her eyes wide and darting this way and that untiringly, got in last night from her home in Fairbanks, Alaska, having traveled 5,000 miles alone. Three thousand miles were covered by plane. Conze 1 Bunches The first spectacle to be honored with a loud, ringing “swell” were the blinking lights of Newark and they rated a full-blown “swell” because they were pretty and be- cause in Alaska they don't come in such bunches. Elsie came over to New York this morning and there were many things she couldn‘t even find a word for. To begin with, in an au- tomobile in the Holland Tunnel they told her she was under the river, which Elsie thought was a very foolish thing to say because there wasn't one teeny bit of water to be seen. ‘Then there were miles and miles of “hard pavement,” a sight she really was not prepared for. It was a shame, she thought, there weren’t more horses to take advantage of the fine streets. We’re Beaten on Horses “We have,” she said with a su- perior air, “more horses in Alaska than you have.” ‘There was the queerest kind ¢ train, clanking high over the streei on a kind of stilts, and people at the windows seemingly not one bit afraid, an emotion that somewhat stirred Elsie at her first glimpse of what they told her was an ele- wated train, an “L.” Elsie, for the first ride of a sort you can’t always get in Alaska, chose the subway. ‘Bhe was escorted by her aunt and by William McElligott, of the World-Telegram, who on ordinary looked forward to a long, stuffy underground ride something of elation. He had ridden before with someone had never seen 8 subway. Actually B. M. BEHRENDS CO., Inc. “Junean’s L Is Swell to Alaskan “Alice”; Ten Y ear Trotter in N. Y. Elsie had anticipated. She trem- bled and shrank back a little as the train roared into the station, but soon regained her courage and marched wide-eyed into a car. She found a seat—an achievement even "\ native-born New Yorker might |boast of—and thoroughly enjoyed the clamor and bustle of the ride to 33rd St. A quick trip through a depart ment store was next on the pro- gram. Elsie hesitated, woman-like, at each glittering counter of mer- chandise. When she spied an esca- lator her eyes fairly popped out of her head “Well, ing stai 11 you look at the climb- she cried, and immedi- ately lost inicrest in all save those remariable slairs. Fun in Revolving Door The next wonder was the revolv- ing door. Here Elsie stopped in be- wilderment. Her aunt and Mr. Mc- Elligott decided to let her figure it out for herself. After several false, starts she darted into the door. She made fwo complete circuits before |the door finally came to a stop and she walked out, shaking her head dubiously. Then to the Empire State Build- ing. Elsie was incredulous of its 102 stories, and checked them off as she ascended in the elevator. After a visit to Rockeféller Cen- ter and Radio City, where there are more escalators, the return trip was made on the Sixth Ave. ele- vated. By this time Elsie had run out of superlatives. Elsie is staying with her grand- mother, Mrs. Mathilda Ness, of 20 Wright 8t., Newark. Her mother and her father, who is a mining en- gineer, went to Alaska from Brook- lyn fifteen years ago. Asked if she was tired or bored with her long trip, unaccompanied, Elsie caid-— “Eh, eu.” “Eh, eh” said her auni, “means ‘No; in case you don’t know.” LIS B R MRS.

SHIELDS' ENDED BY DEATH Former Senalor of Tennes- see Dies Soon After His Wife Passes Away (Continuea :rom Page One) Attacked Wilson In opposing the League of Na- tions project, Shields attacked Pres- ident Wilson so strenuously that he was accused: of having helped to hasten the breakdown ‘of the; war time President, He also voted against the soldier bonus and the twe circumstances wer.e used| against him when he was defeated | in the campaign of /1924 by L. D. Tyson, a veteran of the Spanish- American and World Wars. | As an opponent of prohibition Shields voted to uphold Wilson’s veto of the Volstead act, declar- ing it an “unwise and detrimental” piece of legislation. As an upholder of state rights he fought against Federal control of water power, declaring that the United States government ‘had'no | authority to dispose of power sites within ‘the states, whether they were on navigable or non-navigable streams, unless the streams tra- versed government land. The ‘states, he maintained, were entitled to the revenue accruing ‘from Jeasing-of power sites. He believed' the 'act creating the federal water power commission was unconstitutional. « Shields was born August 5, 1858, at “Clinchdale,” a 3300-acre -estate in Grainger county, Tennessee, that had been in the family 'since '1806. His father was one of the ‘state's noted judges and the son, after he- ing schooled by tutors, studied law in the paternal office and was ad- mitted to the bar in 1879.
