TURKS CLUM AS WINTER TOURIST TRADE LESSENS
By PRISCILLA RING IA. F. Corresnnndentl

ISTANBUL, Feb. 25. = On the heels of last summers failure of agricultural crops which have helped to create a serious economic crisis, Turkey is now sadly wit messing the failure of another crop -the winters harvest of American tourists.
 In it's efforts to increase national production and stimulate a flow Of money into rather than out of Turkey, the Angora authorities were this year framing the young re- public's first serious tourist policy, but the Wall Street crash knocked out their hopes.
 Not even the prospects of 60,000 German visitors dispels the gloom
 Tourist agencies estimate tha t there will be at least a g per cent decrease in the number of Ameri- cans visiting Turkey this winter as compared with the 25,O0o who came last season. Two big Tur- Ikey-bound cruises have been can fcelled, one being the tour to the Holy Land via Istanbul which was

to have been conducted by Aimee Semple Macpherson.
 German tourists, however, are coming in crowds. At least 60,OO0 Germans, double the number visit ing the city of Constantine last year, are expected here this year But tourist agencies and bazaar merchants do not consider this ad- ditional influx of Germans a com pensation for the decrease in Amer jeans.
 "The German tourists are cau- ticus lot" one tourist agent ex- plains. They don't bargain for what they buy as sharply as Amer jeans, but they buy very little.
 Americans are the best spand- CTS and that is why their lack will be felt here no matter how great the number of tourists Of other nationalities.

MUCH NEEDLESS
STEPPING DONE
AT COURT HOUSE:
Ninety eight steps.

Ninoty-cight steps
Those 9S steps might furnish the
statistical sharks with material for
an orgy of mad figuring from now
until doomsday. if they were nand-
led with the proper delicacy.
Here's how it comes about;
The state traffic office, which
was formerly located on the second
floor of the court house, in the
office now used by Dr.. Warren F.
Fox. county public health officer,
IS now in the basement Of the court
house. It is 9S steps from the Sec
end floor of the court house 20 the
traffic office in the basement,
through the outside entrance.
Many people have not yet become
accustomed to the change. and in
sist on hunting for the traffic
office on the second floor Of the
court house. They are directed to
the basement. when they begin TO
take the 98 steps that might prove
fatal to some Statistician with a
weak mind.
An estimate of five persons a
day who make the trip to the Sec
ond floor is highly conservative.
More usually inquire their way
about. But. for the sake of con-
venience, an average of five will be
used.
Five persons taking 98 steps in
one day step 400 times. In year
of 800 days misinformed persons
will take just l76 400 steps. Figur-
ing three feet TO a step. that makes
them walk $4,000 feet in a year.
That is a fraction over 100 miles
walked in one year by persons
hunting the traffic office. OF
course, most persons take more
than SO steps but this is a con-
servative estimate.
Anyone who wishes to continue
the investigation may do SO, with
the help OF several reams of paper
and q number OF sharp pencils.
