LAKE WAWASEE
is BEAUTY SITE
Spanish Architecture of
Hotel Gives Charm.

Hotel Wawasee provides the en-
vironment of an ultra modern hotel
with the advantages of a country
club amid a cool summer climate in
the deep woods on the shore Of Lake
Wawasee, largest of Indiana's many
lakes, and long known to fishermen
and campers as a spot of unusual
sporting advantages and rare nat
ural beauty.
Lake Wawasee, with the splendid
contour of its wood shore line, its
waters clear as crystal, its wealth
of fish, it's unlimited scope for all
kinds of boating, the cool breezes
that sweep in from its waters, and
the wonderful cloud and sunset eff
fects that hover over it, is con-
slant delight.
In front of the Hotel Wawasee's
breakwater it has been especially
kind to man by providing a sandy
beach receding so gradually that
even babies may battle with safety
and the stauncheSt swimmer easily
finds his favorite depth.
The season ~roper is from the
Both of May, Memorial day, on
through the summer.

center of the United States where
three important cross country high
ways converge.

Every American should visit
Washington. 1t is impossible to
picture in words the boundlesS at

1t is the most interesting as well
as most beautiful city of America, if
not of the world.
YOU can spend weeks here visiting
one place after another, attracted by
the great variety of interesting
things that claim the sightseer's at
tention at every turn in the Capitol,

These tours offer special advant-

Mayor L. Ert Slack today said
that remarks he made about a sue
cessor for DR.. w. E. Mendenhall on
the city health board, whose term
expires June l, in a conference with
reporters Thursday we're misinter-
preted.
The mayor was asked whether he
would name Sol Schloss, former

Reporters interpreted his reply as
meaning he would not. The Mayor
said today that the answer he in
tended to convey was that he had
not decided to appoint these men or
anyone else. He said that he had
not eliminated Schloss nor Keene
from consideration.

NEW RK-ARGENTiNA
HIGHWAY is FORECAST
Auto AID Manager Expects Road to
Be Built in Decade

Construction of the proposed Pan
American highway within a decade
so that it will be possible to motor
from New York to the Argentine
was predicted by Robert r. Thien,
advertising manager of the General
Motors Export Division, upon his
recent return to his New York Office
after a three months trip through
South America.
Completion of a highway from
the tip of South America to the
North American border would be
mans greatest conquest of the
wilderness" according to Then.
He investigated in South America
the feasibility of a motor expedition
from Buenos Aires to New York.
Then expressed the belief that
out of the second Pan-American
Highway Conference, to be held in
July at Rio de Janerio. will come the
first comprehensive plan for an in
ter-American highway.
