Basing calculations on the estimate
that the number of American tourists
in Europe In a season is 100000 and
that the average individual expendi-
ture by these tourists Is $3.50, some
one has easily figured that about $685.
100000 of American money is spent
abroad in the course of a season; and
this does not include the cost OF steam
ship tickets. Bankers who handle the
letters of credit for wealthy Ameri-
can tourists are quoted to the effect
that $4,000 Is a fair average for the
value Of these letters, says the Man
chester Union. Among tourists OF the
wealthy class, says the report, 1t is
common to place from S25, 900 to $75,-
1000 in the hands OF the bankers, and,
ias a rule, fully two-thirds OF the
amount is drawn. Possibly the major
premise Of this main proposition has
been overdrawn; possibly the minor
premise; possibly both-and possibly
neither. In any event, it must be ad-
'mitted that 1925, ,O0O000 is a uremen-
dous sum Of American money to be
taken to Europe and lert there IN
single season.

MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.

Professor f. E. Clements, the state
botanist of Minnesota, has attracted
attention by his estimate in a recent
bulletin that the annual waste OF
mushrooms in the United States
equals In value the entire agricultural
product of the country says the Man,
chester Union. II is easy for an en-
thusiast in any line of thought or en-
deavor TO lose the sense Of just pro-
portion, and It may perhaps be taken
for granted that Professor Clements
has permitted himself to be carried
away by the contemplation OF the
waste of a natural food product which
Is more or less abundant everywhere
and which has an unquestioned food
value. Beginning with early summer
and continuing until late fall. the pro-
duction of mushrooms in woods, pas
lures and waste places is something
enormous, and large proportion OF
them are not only edible, but nour-
fishing. In SO far as they are not
made use of-and a small proportion
OF them is ever gathered-they OF
course, represent loss OF possible
food supply, but some account must
be taken of the cost of collecting and
distributing them TO consumers. as
well as of the danger from some spe-
cies which are harmful and of at
least two which may be classed as
deadly. These are easily distinguish
ed, to be sure, by any one who has
made a study OF the mushroom tribe,
but until Americans, as rule, are
imuch more familiar with the subject
than at present, a great proportion OF
the edible varieties will continue to go
ito waste.
