URGES TOURISTS
TO WISCONSIN
1924 Call of the Open Road
Appears in KenOsha
This Morning.
GUIDE TO HIGHWAYS

The 1924 Call of the Open Road,
the Milwaukee Journals guide to Wis
consin's highways, has just been is
sued. The first copy received in Keno
sha came to the Kenosha Evening
News. We find our city mentioned no
less than seven times in this edition
which, we are told, will have a cir
culation of more than 100000 this
year. This years edition includes
more than a thousand changes in num-
bers and in routes of state highways.
More than so county trunks and
country roads have been changed into
state highways, according to the new
maps. The revision and REMEMBERING
program has given the state an in
crease of nearly 5000 miles in state
roads.
In an effort to interest tourists in
seeing everything worth while in each
section of the state, Brownie, director
of the Milwaukee Journal Tour club,
has included many sectional maps this
year. Practically every interesting
spot in the state is indicated in the
new volume. Even trips through the
state are suggested.
Describes Roads in Detail.
More explicit information on kinds
of roads, on cross highways and the
like have been included in the 1924
edition. 1t has been increased in size
from 80 pages. to SO. Composites, re-
sorts, hotels and exceptional vaca
ton spots are listed again this year.
Cross continent maps remain un-
changed except for the routes through
Wisconsin.
The 1924 Call of the Open Road is
issued in two forms-one is the usual
sturdy paper cover and the other in
deluxe binding similar to the 1928
edition. The latter is not sold but is
issued as part of the 1924 Tour Club
kit, which includes an atlas of the
world, folder of the various sections
of the state, a Milwaukee folder and
an unusually attractive emblem.

NEW. YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK CITY - Mixed price move
ments prevailed at the opening of today's
stock market, which apparently failed to
respond to the adjudication of the Dawes
report in initial dealings. Trivial changes
took place in majority of issues, although
Norfolk and estern moved up about a
point. Motor shares were under renewed
selling pressure. Willys-O Overland prefer
red dropped practically to new low at
70.
Pending closer analysis of the Dawes
committees recommendations, stock market
operators were disincined to commit them
selves, and prices continued to vary little
either way. Selling appeared, however in
some of the market leaders, including Unit
ed States Steel Baldwin. American Can
and Studebaker, while General Electric, Ca
madam Pacific and Dupont were heavy.
American Sugar was offered freely, de-
clining ~ to new low price for the
year at AZ Id. Foreign exchange opened
higher.
A sharp break of 31& points in Wool
wort hto 308, following announcement of
a splitting up of the stock with the new
$25 shares placed on a SO annual divi-
dend basis, provides the main feature Of
the morning trading in which speculative
interest generally continued at low ebb
Heavy liquidation resulted from disappoint-
rnent over the amount of the dividend. Call
money opened at Az per cent.

Grain prices underwent little set back
during the early dealings. Fine weather
continued to be the chief influence, with
trade lacking volume. No definite eff
