Tourists in New England
Gain 10 Per Cent IN Year

lOuflStS IN new Lu&lduQ
Gain 10 Per Cent IN Year
An increase OF more than 10 per
cent in the number Of people tour
ing New England during the. past
summer, as compared with 1927,
and a marked gain in the number
making general tours of this sum.
mer playground area, has been re-
ported by the American Automobile
association. The national motoring
body bases its statement on a check
up of the motor tourists handled by
A. A. A. clubs in New England from
June /, to October 81, 1928, when
more than 205,000 motorists called
for touring service.
1.-THE upward trend in the tide OF
motor travel to New England" says
the A. A. A., lis largely due to the
program for selling New England.
launched over a year ago by is af>
filiated motor clubs in cooperation
with 2o5,0oo motorists called for
service"
With a view to the adoption Of a
more aggressive program to popu-
larize the recreational assets of
New England. the national motor
ing body has prepared series OF
tabulated charts showing the origin
Of the motor tourist business and
the areas patronized.
The following outstanding facts
are brought out:
First, of the total number Of 206.-
$50 motor tourists handled by mo-
tor clubs, 1924 or IS per cent
came from the populous censAs
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio river, and 14,001 or SIX
per cent from the region east of the
Mississippi and south of the Ohio.
Second. of the total number, $780,
619 or So per cent declared in regis
tering that they were on a general
tour" of New England and had no
specific destination.
Third. in the case Of the motor
tourists with a specific destination,
led all the New Eng
land states with 31,746 or Is per
cent of the total volume handled
through the motor club agencies.
Maine was n close second with 27,-
301 or IS per cent, while New
Hampshire was third with $3.50 or
s per cent
Fourth, a large volume Of the mo-
tor tourist travel in New England
continued through September and
into October. a fact which is declar-
ed to demonstrate that the motor
lists are actually frightening the
New England vacation season.
A definite figure for the money
value of the motor tourist business
handled by the clubs was not given
in the tabulations, but 1t is estimat-
ed to have totaled close to $20,250.-

 mist as went upstairs to notify the family of the change in the lunch- con hour. Quogue is a good twenty miles away. and the ramshackle old car which is the pride of Katie and Jim is limited in its speed possibili- ties. If she took any time at all for the errand which was of enough im- portance to make her change the family luncheon hour, she would not be back at three-or four.
 But 1 had something else on my mind besides katie's vagaries as l tapped on my mother-in-law's door. I knew that to all the rest of the household the mere announcement of luncheon q half hour earlier would be sufficient. For myself, l was distinctly glad, as it would give me plenty of time to reach East hampton before Mary's announced appearance there. But my doughty mother-in-law abhors any change in routine. and she is especially resent full of any deviation from household rules upon katie's part. I expected an uncom fortable session with her, and my expectations were not dis appointed.
 T never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life." she stormed when I had told her of Katie's re- quest and my assent to it. Turn ing a whole house upside down be- cause a hired girl wants to go traipsing over the country in that ridiculous car of hers. I don't be- lieve she's ever had telegram at all. She's simply made up a cock and-bull story and you're fool enough to swallow it."

 Katie was flying about her kitch- en like mad when l entered 1t. and her eyes wer curiously bright when she turned toward me at my en- trance. That she was tremendously excited about something. l promptly guessed. for long experience with my little maid has accustomed me to her vagaries. and was not sur prised when she rushed into impetu- oIs speech.
 "Oh, Missis Graham" she said. "I so glad you coon. shoost going oopstairs to ask you something's. want have loonch half-past twelve today und pile oop my dishes till l coon back dees afternoon.

 "Why! Has the mail come?" asked. vaguely puzzled by some
  stinctively sparring for time at her unusual request. Katie never changes the time of the family meals, and strongly resents anyone else doing so.
 She hesitated oddly. her face clouding, then it as suddenly clear ed again.
 No. it no coom, but telegram coon ven Missis Underwood get hers. I no tell you den, you hurry off so qveeck to her room.''
 She was drawing vividly on her imagination, l was sure of that, but there was nothing for me to do save humor her. Katie's request for indulgence are so few and her faithful service so exceptional that l would have acceeded to far greater upsettng of my household routine than luncheon a half hour earlier.
 "Of course, Katie" said heartily. noting that my belated assent was just in time to dispel the storm clouds I saw gathering in her all ways expressive face. "Ill go and tell the family of the change"

Health Hints

Considered formerly . disease
 largely limited 10 the southern parts
 of the United States. pelagra has
 Lcen found in Minnesota and in Illinois. and indeed in all parts of the world.
 In 1915 more than 10000 died of this disease in the United States. and it is reported that in 1917 and 1918 at least 100000 people in the southern portion og the United States suffered from it. Rare in Winter Pellagra usually occurs in the spring and new cases rarely occur in the fall and winter. It has been suggested that it's cause might be an organism distributed by the bite of some in sect. since many in-
 sects appear in the spring and dis appear before fall.
 However. more recent views in-
 cline to the belief that pellagra is due to deficiency of certain sub- stances in the diet. because it oc-

 Doctors who have made signifi-

 Yeast is to be considered as a medical substitute when the need
 is urgent and the food supply difficult.

BY NINON The frowning girl gathers no beauty prizes.
 Sometimes to be sure, one froWn ms because her eyes are weak. She should see specialist immediately. For no one can afford to give the impression of crossness just because she needs glasses or eye exercises. But there are many women who i frown. in spite of perfect vision. Perhaps it is ill-temper. Perhaps it is worry. Or it may be just petu- lance.
 A frown cannot be brushed lightly aside by the sweep Of hand. But if all the little ingrow lines are given care immediately and finger exercises practiced all over their surfaces, chances are that they will grow discouraged and disappear.
 Can Be Erased
 The finger exercises for frowns require the use of the middle fin gers and the thumbs. With the thumbs you hold your head firmly while you erase the frowns with the middle finger.
 The movement of that middle finger exercise is different from the others. First. dip your fingers in skin food or heavy cold cream. Then you smoothe out the space between your eyebrows by drawing the left finger ;xr1. to 1off head and the right finger from left to right. Alter smoothing this space for some time, begin at the bridge of the nose and stroke upwards and out over the eyebrows
 Massage Frequently
 The idea of this finger exercise is to erase the wrinkles, or pre- vent them. by covering the entire portion of the forehead that prin- llles invade.
 This is one exercise that you can do many times a day. It is the only one that can be done without cold cream, though to be efficacious cream should be used.
 But this little finger exercise practiced ever and anon, even without cream, will be a gentle re- minded not to frown. And the first step in ridding oneself of lines between the eyes. of course, is to cease frOwning.
 The best time to cream the fore- head is at night. After the finger exercises are practiced. but little strips of court plaster across the smoother-out forehead to prevent

It isn't often that Jimmy Skunk finds himself in trouble. But trouble comes to everybody and once in 2 while Jimmy gets in trouble through his very independence. Jimmy was in trouble now. In his independence he had been careless and Hooty the owl had all but caught him. Now Jim1ny had burrowed into a corn schock and he was nursing a sore leg. His coat had been torn just above his hip and Hooty's long, sharp claw had gone way through that coat into the flesh.
 Jimmy was safe for the time be- ing. however. and that was the main thing.
 'i'll stay here the rest of the night" said Jimmy to himself. T don't dare try to go any farther while it is dark. I know Hooty will be watching until it is broad day. light. My goodness, he pretty nearly got me that time! hope am not going to be lame after this.'
 So the long night passed and by and by jolly, round, bright Mir. Sun began his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky. Jimmy poked his head out from his hiding place. There was nothing now to fear from Hooty the Owl. There was nothing to fear from anybody. Everybody but Hooty has too much respect for Jimmy's little scent-gun to bother him much.
 "Ooch." exclaimed Jimmy as he dragged himself out "Ooch."
 What's the matter with you, Jimmy Skunk" inquired Sammy Jay, who happened along just them.
 T met with an accident" re- piled Jimmy. who was ashamed of having been so careless as to give Hooty the Owl a chance. and so didn't want any one to know it.
 Sammy Jay was interested right away. What kind of an accident ?' he demanded.
 "Oh. just an accident" said Jimmy. "Ooch,"
 Jimmy now was out in full view and Sammy Jays bright eyes saw tHo LcdI III JllliIlS tOdi. llICst eyes of Sammy's opened very wide at that. He just stared. He knew that that tear had been made by a claw and this was news. To think that somebody had dared to attacl, Jimmy Skunk. Right away Sammy's curiosity was aroused.
 Who did it. Jimmy? Who did ito" cried Sammy.
 Jimmy paid no attention. He started to move along. Then it was that he found he was very lame As matter of fact, he walked on three legs. II hurt too much to use that fourth one.
 Who did it }" persisted Sammy Jay. Who did it?"
 "It's no business of yours who did it." said Jimmy Skunk grossly. 'I told you l met with an accident and that's enough. It WAS an acci- den:.''
 Sammy Jay laughed. 'T suppose it was" said he. "It was the same kind of an accident most of us experience when we get hurt by some one else. Somebody has been smart enough to attack you. Who was it. Jimmy?'
 But Jimmy wouldn't tell He shuffled along on three legs. grum- bling and mumbling 10 himself. for Jimmy was very much out of sorts. Also. Jimmy feit very far from good.
