greater than ever before. London
has been receiving about 100000
Americans during the season, but
this year she expects to assist 250,-
900 in spending their money. The
dealers in jewelry, clothing and brio
a-brac are especially eager to tighten
the Americans burden of cash.
An example of the liberality OF
tourists is given In figures supplied
by Consul Mansfield at Luserene,
who reports that during the last sea-
son from May 1st to November fst,
l1S6,2s7 tourists were registered
in the city's hotels and pensions.
The average number a day was 5000.
and each person spent So, or n total
of $4,655.675 for the season. Amer
leans were very numerous In this
host. and were noticeably liberal.
The estimate OF $5 a day is probably
too low for these. In addition to ho-
tel expenses, s6.439.000 was left at
Luceren for railroad fares. AS the
population is only $4,000, It appears
that the tourists, many OF them
Americans, left $347.S5 for each
man, woman and child in the town.
The evolution of the automobile
has undoubtedly increased the
amount spent by Americans abroad
Throughout France and England and
in certain other countries tourists
are enabled by the motor car to visit
spots practically inaccessible other
wise. The going and coming to these
places call for additional outlay,
which Is met by the average Ameri-
can tourist not onl y with forti-
tude but with pleasure. With pros
perity so bountiful at home as to
pile up his wealth with incredible
swiftness. he finds relief In diverting
part of II to the yawning pockets OF
his causal entertainers In Europe.
His own efforts to oqualize the bene-
fits of prosperity are ably supple
mented by those of his wife and
who are peculiarly pro-
fcient in the art of distributing
wealth.
SO long as prosperity lasts the
old world is sure of its share at the
hands OF the enterprising tourist.
Thus the economy OF modern life
makes II TO the advantage OF Euro
peans to pray for tho destruction OF
the green bug In Kansas, to the end
that prosperity may prevail. and that
the crop OF tourists may not be
withered before II Is ripe for the
cleaning. Washington Post.
