HUTTO TELLS ABOUT TRAVEL OF ORCHESTRA Chanticleer Club Hears About Adventures of Gamecocks on European Tour CIGARETFES ARE CHEAP Complete Description of Pleas ant Sights of Paris Is Enjoyed Archie Hutto told the Chanticle .:r club of his trip abroad with the Game cock orchestra last summer, at the reg ular fortnightly meeting of that club held last Friday night. J. V. Neilsen, president, presided. Mir. Hutto told of their tour of 1.urope as musicians. First, they went to England, but because of a strike there, soon crossed- to Bologne where they had a short engagement. He toll of staying in a hotel of about the sam class as the Jefferson, and paying about thirty cents a day while Chesterfields and Camels cost about thirteen cents. From Bologne the orchestra went to l'aris fot a short stay. Hutto gave a complete description of the pleasures and sights of that famous city. In speaking of the feelings of Frenchmen for Americans, he said that the upper classes were very friendly, although they believed that Atner'ca should cancel the war debt. Feelings among the peasantry and iowec clisses were very bad, and they did manifest some hostile feeling towards American tour ists, occasionally throwing rocks at the tourist busses. But, he said thz tour ists were not without blame, as they pasted French money on their bags as "stickers" and calledf the Frenchmen "froggies." From Paris the speaker said that they went to Amsterdam where they had a long engagement. Here he and the members of the orchestra met some "con" or "bunco steerers" to their re gret. One of these men walked up to him and (thinking him English) told him that he was very hard up and was willing to sell a new Am r'can watch wh'ch had cost him fifteen pounds, fo one pound. He examined the watch, found a Swiss label on it and refused to buy, but another member lf th.e orchestra came up, and thinking it :t good bargain, offered about $4.00 for it. The "con" man took it like a shot and immediately brought out another of the same kind which he offered to sell for the same price. By the next morning the watch had stopped running, and upon being ex .autined, p'roved to be much inferior to an Ingersoll. They later discovered the same kind of watch in a store selling for 90 cents. Mr. Hutto told of many other inter esting experiences that he and his coni - U.S.C. - Hermes Elect Member S. B. Searles was elected a member of the Hermes club at its meeting Moo. (lay night. There will be a special meeting of the club at eight 'clock in the journalism class room tonight.
