WHAT AMERICANS SPEND.
The Round Trip Ticket to Europe

According to foreign exchange ex-

OF this continual diversion Of home
money into foreign channels Is best ap-
preciated when It's amount Is consld-
cred. For instance, during 1904 the sum
Of sl5O,000o0), was expended by Amerl-

and while there they spent $4,000 900
more in the purchase Of articles on

that In the year named, one hundred

were scattered over foreign ands-a
