MANY VISIT WEST
Railroad Records Show Heavy Sum-
 mer Travel to National Parks

1 Chicago, August 11.-(Special. J. Passenger executives of the railroad lines centering In Chicago and serv- | ing westward travel to the various national park systems set aside by Congress, have completed survey of the first two months of summer travel and believe they have every reason to be optimistic.
 Possibly America has learned at l last of it's vast resource of natural | outdoor beauties and prefers them to the European style or has just acquired a habit. forced during the war period. of seeking recreative spots at home. At any rate the travel l figures for June and July compare very favorably with the same period last year. which was supposedly the peak of them all.
 However, the lines feeding the national parks, Colorado, California and the Pacific northwest, report that the figures at the end of the regular summer travel and vacation period
 will very likely equal those of last year and they may possibly exceed
 them This record in spite of the changed general conditions over last year Is very encouraging, not only to the western roads. but to the eastern lines connecting at Chicago, for they have. of course. shared part of the 1 travel
 While number of reasons have
 been offered as to the cause for the l increased popularity of westward
 travel and many are accepted as con- l tributing, the general passenger agents themselves are more inclined Ito attribute it to the awakening in terest in the great western mountain scenery country with it's thousand and one paths that lead to new yir- gin vacation land and real chance to get back to nature in it's widest state. With the great variety that the west offers one can dabble a while in the smartest of hotels or rough It" in the wilds.
 l Without question generous use of advertising space, particularly in the
 daily newspapers. has been one of the l great factors in bringing the beauties of the west to the fore while the ex- | treme hot weather has been an in- | ducement to escape to higher aiti-
 tudes. At any rate the country has
 decided that the west is we'll worth
 seeing and evidently it's determined to see tito the delight of the rail- 1 road executives. who have re-estab- | lished pre-war service of de luxe
 trains.

 Strange, as graciously, as old 'Sol smiles on the tropic city as old Sol there is ever that stiff fresh breeze over the river and nearby lakes, which helps to revive the heat-worn," Mrs. Taylor declared. "The second seaport in the United States, New Orleans wharfage presents an animated scene with shipping activities and hustle of tourist travel; ,skyschapers of mag nitude rise in the business district reminding one of the increasing activ- ities in the mart of affairs.

 But, when all is said, it is the people-the people who make the city. It is they with their warmth and en- thusiasm who give to the city a tone and character all it's own.
