Oficials Of Cooks in New York
state that the influx of Australians
seems to be about equally divided be-
tween those coming on business and
on sightseeing. Increase in prosperity
in Australia in the last two years is
reported to be the cause for the gain

M. Dow. official secretary for Austria
liza in the United States, made the
following remarks to Cooks:
There Is no question of the fact
that economic conditions In Australia
at present are considerably better than
for some time past. This is due in part
to the balancing of state and federal
budgets under the so-called premier s
plan. which greatly restored business
confidence, and in part to better world
prices for Australian products, partic-
ularly wool. Trade generally has been
improving throughout the continent" +"

Gently returned from a cruise to Vene-
zuela, which she undertook principally
to pay tribute to the young genius
of South American independence and
national hero of five countries he
helped free-Ecuador. Colombia, Peru,
Venezuela and Bolivia.
Miss Steele, a student of Bolivar's
life, recognized the parallel Of ideals
of the two warriors for liberty, and
was struck by the apparent failure of
Americans to appreciate Bolivar's
place in the history Of American re-
publics of the South. She was unable
to find a precedent of semi Official
tribute by Americans at his tomb, and
resolved to represent them.
She ordered prepared a wreath. and
from near the tomb OF washington
obtained a sprig Of laurel. Fore
thought of officials at Mount Vernon
secured for her a permit to take into
Venezuela the living laurel, and the
Minister of Venezuela here wrote a
letter to the federal governor at Ca
racas, which arranged for appropriate
ceremonies at the tomb.
At Caracas she was given an official
escort and an interpreter, and with
three American friends she was driven
to the pantheon in an automobile pro-
vided by the governor. Placing the
wreath at the sarcophagus in the
presence of the pantheon official, Miss
Steele said:
1T is a privilege and an honor to

ator of the South this wreath Of lau-
rel, brought from the tomb Of the

''LUXURY TRAVEL"
BOOKINGS INCREASE
Franconia Cruise Reservations
Show Gains-Tour to Cover
Az Months.

NEW YORK, October 27.-Bookings
already made on the Cunard- Cooks
world cruise of the S. S. Franconia,
which sails from New York January
IL, are 20 per cent ahead of last year
in number and 80 per cent ahead in
value, according to information from
the New York headquarters of Thomas
Cook & Sons-Wagons-Lits Inc.
This situation on world cruise book
ings is regarded by Cooks as the first
reliable indication of the trend of
Winter travel.
At time when business conditions
in general seem to be in an uncertain
state, the increase in business of a
luxury classification is held to be one
weather vane pointing to recovery, &C
cording to Cooks.
The Franconia cruise covers 37070
miles during the four and a half
months the liner is away from New
York Most of the ports of call are in
the Southern Hemisphere. Last year
the cruise itinerary had to be changed
to avoid arriving in Bali on the date
of the devil-chasing rites of the ma
tives, but this year there is no such
complication. After leaving New York,
the Franconia calls at Jamaica and the
Canal Zone before arriving at Los
Angeles. Departing from that port
January 81, the liner puts in at
Hawaii, the Society Islands, Cook
Islands, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand,
Australia, New Guinea, Sunda Islands,
Bali, Java, Straits Settlements and

only just and fair to remember that

But by way of final injunction it

NHE new transcontinental spec

TIME new transcontinental speed
record for trains, set last
week by the Deisel-powered
i streamline development of
the Union Pacific forecasts a
decade of thrills for the American
traveller and those who read about
travel
The roads are, finally, answering
with a vengeance the cry for speed
and more SEeed. In this connection
it is interesting to note that the
broken record-slightly more than
SO hours-had stood since 1906. Los
ing prestige Of late years to faster
transportation by plane, several over
land systems have either seized upon
or are watching the DIESEL principle
as their hope in recapturing patron
age of those who have no time to
lose en- route.
The main selling point Of the air.
lines has been the reduction to the
minimum of the number of hours
between far-distant cities. Sales talk
goes into comparative cost of the
different modes of travel; not simply
the bare transportation ticket itself
but meals and special car privileges,
which make long journey bearable.
With pickup in business gener-
ally, time again begins to mean money
to travelling executives and statesmen
Air trips as a consequence have ap-
pealed to the logic of business firms.
THERE is every indication that
Americans will be spectators at
race after race until the last prac-
tical resort to speed in this era has
been tried and proved.
The 57-hour dash from Los An
geles to New York by the M-10001 is
not the best it can do. The authority
Is Charles Francis Kettering, head
of the General Motors research di-
vision, who had much to do with
perfecting the motive power OF the
train. His theory clips four hours
from the II 1t took from Chicago to
New York, making total of SO hours
across the United States.
Kettering claims the train has ad-
yanced the Deisel-electric generator
form of power 10 years. One series
of unlucky events can, however, cool
the ardor for streamline speed-a
wreck or two in attempts to hit q
two-day goal. Those who have COM
mand of the runs are very likely
well aware Of such contingencies and
have bridled their speed ambitions to
the limits of the train and the track.
MEANWHILE European railroads
A'A have not been asleep to the posi-
bilities of speed as an aid to travel.
Poland is the latest country to de-
velop the Deisel, or compression-igni-
ton engine, railroad car. Minister
of Communications Piasecki has an
nounced that shortly there will be put
in operation new motorized torpedo"
trains, and that a complete reorgan-
ization of government-owned rail-
roads Is in prospect.
Trial runs recently disclosed that
they could maintain a speed Of SO
miles per hour for a considerable dis
tance. Time between many points
will be cut in half. Whereas the run
from Warsaw to Gdynia now takes
eight hours, the speed trains will
cut the trip to four Poland claims
that the new trains will be the fastest
on the continent.

before his time by Dessalines. About
20 miles south Of Cape Haitien is the
village of Milot, near which stands
the ruined palace Of Sans Souci, an
other huge structure worthy OF
visit from every traveller who goes
to Haiti. A horseback ride up the
mountains, however, brings the trav-
eler to the great citadel. castle large
enough to house 10000 soldiers besides
many officials, their families and serv-
ants.
When it is recalled That this stu
pendous work was pursued by former
slave boy, unable to read or write, the
result Of his efforts appear all the
more remarkable. Christophe, or
King Henry I, expected the citadel to
repell French or any other soldiers
who might seek foothold in Haiti.
It's construction is said to have pressed
into service thousands of Christophe's
subjects. whose toll in trudging stones
up the mountainside and jim other
arduous labors caused them to die by
the thousands.

A new and marvellous monument Is

This is the widely heralded Columbus
Memorial Light, lighthouse different
in design from anything of its kind
in existence. Far over the sea and into
the heavens it will throw to the mari
ner and the air navigator its great
cross of light. Within its portals Will
lie the remains Of Christopher Colum-
bus and nearby will be assembled
many a relic of the discoverer. Most
nations have agreed to contribute
funds for the undertaking.
Hispaniola lies In the Torrid Zone.
But the intending traveller should not
permit the thought of unbearable heat
keep him away. The well known
trade winds relieve the temperature
and provide a semi-tropical climate
throughout the year. There Is wet
