Because Mr. Uppercu is a prominent man in the automobile world and a wealthy one, there was wide- spread interest in his resolve. And it's interesting to sce what some of the more ecminent commentators on the “dream junketeers” have to say. For instance, Admiral Louis R. de Steiguer, U, S.

Down the ages seven has always had a high place in the philosophies of the mystics and the believers in charms. Astrology was built up around the “seven planets” and the ancients used seven frequently in their computations as a “standard” number—such as 10 or 100 today Mr. acher was not, in the be ticularly credulous or superstitious man but as the sevens be- gan to pile up to measure everything he did he couldn't escape being in- fluen Gradually he came to place nd more faith in his governing numeral. And Mr. Aulen history and tr: There were the Christendom, the seven lamps of archi tecture, the seven mortal sins, the seven virtles, the seven wise men and the seven wonders of the world After all, the seven daughters and seven sons were strange enough, hut then came the startling realization that the farms he owned in various parts of Wisconsin number precisely seven. And when nature painted the seven on Bossie's countenante, that clinched matters. Nobody will roll dice with Mr. Aulenbacher. her certainly had n to help him en champions of s have just said, 1| would rather go on such a trip as he now contemplates than anywhere else | know. Of course, much care will have to be exercised in navigation, as the waters down there are uncharted for the most part, the islands lie low and are sometimes hard to see. There are no lighthouses, either. But Mr. Uppercu is in no hurry, he has time to use the utmost care, so there is little likelihood of his getting into any difficulty. He has a fine command and everything points to a most enjoyable voyage.” In addition to Governor Pinchot and Mr. Uppercu there is another business- man romanticist now bound for the land of boyish fancy. M. F. Bramley, millionaire executive of Cleveland, is off to find and raise out of the occan an island he saw in a dream! The case of Mr. Bramley is perhaps the most bizarrely imaginative of the three. Last year this man who can see a financial transaction with as much realism as anyone, had a dream. He could not shake it out of his mind when he awoke—it clung to his con sciousness with an irresistible convic tion, There was a Pacific island in Bram- ley’s dream, fifteen miles long and ten or twelve miles wide. He conquered its savage inhabitants and they crowned him king.
