If there Were a Super-man

THERE WERE ONE SUPER-MAN whose name was known everywhere in the world and whose signature on pieces of sky-blue paper had the miraculous power to make your journey as a traveler in foreign lands one unbroken trail of helpful attention and personal courtesies; and at the same time was usable anywhere as actual money and always safe

WOULD YOU GET THOSE particular pieces of sky-blue paper with that signature before you traveled anywhere? Would you?

American Express Travelers Cheques are pieces of paper of just that value. For thirty years the knowledge of their safety, their special and helpful influence to travelers in foreign lands, has been growing around the world with the growing international influence of the American Express Company. With thousands of correspondents and many separate offices in the principal seaports and inland cities of the world the American Express Company has gained high reputation for service; and its Travelers Cheques have come to be universally recognized as compelling letters of introduction-securing all sorts of assistance and the most helpful advice.

WORTHLESS UNTIL PERSONALLY countersigned by the owner, these cheques insure themselves against theft or loss. They are convenient, simple and of nominal cost.

OF ALL TRAVELER'S absolute necessities at home or abroad, American Express Company's Travelers Cheques come first.

FOR GREAT BRITAIN Sterling Cheques, 5 and 10 £; and Franc Cheques 200 and 400 francs--for France, They are not subject to a varying exchange, and are proof against sharp money changes. For the United States, Canada and all other countries, the Dollar Travelers Cheque. Buy them at Express offices or at your own bank.

FOR ALL JOURNEYS secure your steamship tickets, hotel reservations and itineraries or plan your cruise or tour through the American Express Travel Department.

"Mine Own People"

WHAT

HAT do you really think of your neighborhood? What is your private opinion of your family? Do you agree with Oliver Herford's dictum: "God makes our relatives; thank God we make our own friends"? We should like to know what kind of environment you live in; does it stimulate or does it depress you? Would you have chosen it if you had had any say about it?

For the best letters on the subject of "Mine Own People" we will award:

a first prize of Fifty Dollars a second prize of Thirty Dollars a third prize of Twenty Dollars

Tell us truthfully of your revolts, if any, against your home life; also of your enthusiasms. If you are a woman, what do you really think of your men? If you are a man, let us have a critical estimate of your women folk. What complaints have children of their parents, and parents of their children? Do you approve of your neighbors ? Be objective. Don't be introspective. You don't have to be bitter.

CONDITIONS OF CONTEST

1. Write your name (add a pen name, if you like, for publication) and address in the upper lefthand corner of your letter. We urge the use of pen names.

[graphic]

2.

All letters must be typewritten on one side of the paper only.

3. Limit your letter to 600 words of average length. 4. Your letter, to be eligible, must reach us on or before June 20.

5. We reserve the right to purchase for publication desirable letters not winning prizes.

6. Unavailable letters will not be returned.

7. The staff of The Outlook will be the judges of the contest.

Address all contest letters to CONTEST EDITOR, THE OUTLOOK COMPANY 381 Fourth Avenue, New York.

PUBLISHER'S NOTES

ou have from now until June 20 to

Ywrite your impressions of your

neighbors, community, kith and kin, for the third of The Outlook's prize contests. The subject of the contest is "Mine Own People." Vigorous letters are arriving every day. Thus far the men are discussing their womanfolk rather more mildly than the women are dealing with their men. Some of the women are using their claws, and one of them complains that she doesn't even know what her husband's salary is (maybe, like many of the rest of us, he is ashamed to tell her) and complains that she has never had a personai allowance. What about yourself?

E are accused by a critic in Port

Wland, Oregon, or small town stuff:

"While, primarily, it is a matter of money that impels me to discontinue my subscription, I might take this occasion to say that The Outlook does not appeal to me as it did for many years, and this because it has been taking on to a limited rather than an exhaustive extent the functions of theatrical reviews, a smattering of cartoons de luxe, and has stooped to the small-town newspaper practice of conducting 'contests.'"

The joy of living awaits the inan or woman who acquires this property.
