What is the big distinction between
members of royal families and those
of more humble birth? After all is
there any real difference? Given the
opportunity. cannot the son or daugif-
ter of a poor man acquire sufficient

comes from very poor but respectable
parentage-yet as a model in the most
exclusive establishment in New York
city. she causes many society leaders
to pattern after her carriage.
Also. Susan's parents for three gem
erations at least, were all Americans.
Yet society went mad over the coun-

during the filming of the dance for
the screen. The mere fact that this
is the most expensive Hawaiian or
chestra in this country did not deter
the producers from using the musi'
clans. because it was felt that Miss
Pennington would be more at home
with the same accompaniment which
she had had all season.

The Weekend Tour
with apologies to Saxe)

NvVASAs ssksSs~0sSS ~ S~O/
Leaving busy cities
And their cares behind.
Passing quiet pastures.
Finding peace of mind:
Spinning down the highways.
Everything secure:
Bless me. but it's pleasant
Starting on tour.
Stopping at the village
For hasty bite;
Landlords pretty daughter
Adds new delight:
Eyes that flash and sparkle
With a mystic lure
Oh. it's mighty pleasant
Out upon a tour!
,Drowsy little hamlets.
Valleys cool and deep;
In the distance hillsides
Flecked with grazing sheep;
Streams that wind and tinkle.
Clear and cool and pure;
Worries all forgotten
On the weekend tour.
Finding many wonders
All unguessed before,
Every turn and vista
Adding something more:
Aches and ills all banished
BY a sudden cure;
All the world looks better
When you're on a tour.
Stronger when it's ended.
Better, wiser. too;
Back to work with vigor
Plentiful and new.
And the landlords daughter
With her eyes that lure
Filling one with longings
For another tour.

The more civilized man becomes
the more easily he gets lost. In the
semi -barbaric days he trod untracked
wilds and painless seas, but always
somehow he got there"
In later times. having seemingly
lost his sense of direction, he began
to mark his trail so that he could find
his way back. The gashed bark of a
tree trunk has guided countless men
and women to their destination; but
when the forests fell before the march
of civilization. and as the speed of
the traveller increased. better road
markers became essential.
So there appeared various crude
boards nailed on poles and set up at
crossroads, stones covered with num-
bers indicating distances. and SINH
lar landmarks such as may still be
found in many country districts.
But until a short time ago there was
no attempt to establish systematic
marking Of American roads. Every
locality had it's own style and in many
instances the guide boards were so
weather-beaten and defective as to
be valueless. The automobile tourist

every cross-road and ask to be di-
rected on his way. Usually the in
formation he got was of little use.

had failed, and has since made safe
for travel over 1000 miles of roads
in all parts of the United States.
This work has been carried out sys-
tematically under the supervision OF
experts and in style which has won
the approval and cooperation of local
bodies. automobile clubs and even
state legislatures.
While only one road marking
crew operated during the first year.
it's work met with such thorough ap-
proval that larger plans were made
for the second years work, three
crews being sent out--one working
through the Middle West. another
through the Pacific Coast States, and
the third in the East.

More than 10e, 900 of these signs
mark the roads in twenty-five states

at cost of over SIS each and have un-
ouestionably done much to stimulate

American touring and add to the
