BOOK AIDS TRAVEL
IN SOUTH AMERICA
Thos. Cook & Son Gives
Information on Passports
and Historic Spots.

NEW YORK, October 20.-A book
let, How to See South America, has
Just been released by Thos. Cook &
Son. Wagons Inc. The booklet
represents an unusual addition to the
tourist agents library and may be OBJ
tanned on application.
Many pages are devoted to varied
tours with or without escort. These
range from the grand tour of South
America of "a days, and covering.
among other sights, the land of Incas,
the high Andes OF Peru and Bolivia
and the Chilean and Argentine lakes,
to the more sophisticated cruise for
the experienced traveller on the motor
vessel Reina del Pacifico, featuring
a visit to the capital cities Of the east
and west coast and Robinson Crusoe' S
Island and the Straits of Magellan.
Shorter tours to Peru, to the Iguazu
Falls and a thousand miles up the
Amazon on Pan American Airway s
new Brazilian Clipper, are also fea-
tured in the booklet.
Also contained in the booklet are
clear and short descriptions of the
great cities of South America, what
the continent offers in the way OF
amusements, cabarets and restaurants
and brief outline Of the high spots
of historic and scenic interest. Briefly
sketched are Venezuela, Colombia
Ecuador, Paraguay and the Guianas

R0DE0S IN CHILE
PROVIDE THRILLS
Riders Exhibit Skill by Stop
ping and Turning Back
Racing Bull.

SANTIAGO, Chile, october 20
Rodeos put on by the cowboys, or
huasos, in Chile are bit more elabo-
rate than those staged by cur own
Wild West" boys OF course, in the
rodeo la Chilena thrilling exhibitions
OF horSemanship are the main feature
of the day, but they are attended by
the cueca, a dance characteristic OF
the Chilean countryside.
The celebration is staged on one OF
the large farms. The main exhibition
is staged in q grassy arena surrounded
by a hedgelike fence, about 2 yards
from which is a circular white track.
When the big act begins one of the
bulls, held il readiness for the per-
formance, is driven as fast as possible
around the arena Each pair of con-
s-mounted-must stop the bull,
turn it around and drive it back around
the ring twice, without allowing it to
come inside Of the white track.
1t is in stopping and turning around
the madly rushing bull that the dex
terity of the rider and training of the
horse are shown at their best. Inas-
much as the judges base their decision
as much upon form as upon results,
a pair of riders to win the prize must
put on wonderful show of skill.

BELGIUM CONSTRUCTING
EXHIBITION BUILDINGS
International Fair to Be Held
Near Brussels, Opening in
April, 1885.

NEW YORK, october 20.-The In
ternational Exhibition, which is to
be opened in Brussels next April, will
be the largest and most comprehen-
sive ever held in Belgium, according
to information from Thos. Cook e.
-Wagons-Lits, Inc.
A site covering 800 acres has been
chosen at Osseghem, a mile or two
from the center Of the city. 1t con-
tains several small lakes and a we'll
wooded park, which will be kept in
tact. Roads and avenues to total
length Of five miles, and costing more
than 100000, have been made,
while existing roads from the city are
being widened. The principal exhibi-
ton building. the Grand Palace, 450
feet in length and 260 feet wide, is
rapidly approaching completion, and
good progress is being made on other
buildings. Most of them will be
permanent structures and will be
used for commercial fairs to be held

STANDARDIZATION for the tourist
- has its benefits. 1t also has its
place, and Is sometimes misplaced.
How many visitors who go to Canada
for the quaint charm it affords would
agree with Honorable j. E. Perrault,
minister of roads and mines Of Quebec
Province, when he bemoans the fact
that the ancient colonization regime
now handicaps the construction OF
roads over which the motorist would
only whiZ by the atmosphere OF
other days?
Outlining the difficulties Of widen
ing and Strengthening roads into
modern and speedy highways, Mr..
Perrault pointed out three difficulties
The Typographical conditions, the
heavy Winter frosts and the Spring
thaws, and the old colonization
scheme.
The system of building houses along
the edge of narrow road, he pointed
out recently, makes Strengthening and
widening costly. The province al
ready has a network of $4,000 miles
Of good roads, extending to every
region within its boundaries, and
it is possible that the old homes
are rated high by the visitors as
scenic attractions. After all, a coun-
trufS StnrH in. tro dn
tourists is atmosphere and scenery
Showing the houses back or rerouting

can scene that he would find in

BERMUDA GUARDS BIRDS

HAMILTON, Bermuda, October 20.
Originally passed to safeguard mi
grating birds, the new laws here pro-
tecting wild life have caused fiocks of
birds to settle in the islands instead of
continuing to South America.
Greatly increased numbers of song
birds have been reported from various
localities, and it is hoped eventually
to make Bermuda a bird sanctuary
similar to that of DR.. Axel Munthe at

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, JR.


TINE tourist is lord over a vast
domain-the world and the
air, in fact. He rules it with
L his indecision on where to go
and how. and with his purse
the $50 vacation budget or the thou
sands he has available to spend on a
de luxe cruise to the farthermost parts
of the globe. Competition for his buSi-
ness has become so keen that some
OF the whims he voiced years ago
have been put into effect as stand
ard service.
The Pullman Co.'S modern sleep
ing car grew out Of isolated protests
against the necessity of catching fit
full maps on padded benches that
were none too comfortable as seats;
the diner answered his cry for speed
and the losing race he ran for chair
in the station cafe; identification cut
the CRIME of travel, and air-cooled
trains helped cool his hot travelling
temper. But service these days even
extends beyond the destination.

Much Larger Than Belgium.
Although most people are accus-
toned to think of Panama in terms OF
the canal and its terminal cities, the
country is four times as large as
Belgium. and within its borders there
are large tracts of rich agricultural
and pasture land, vast forests, jungles
filled with valuable woods and
medicinal plants, and important min
eral resources. Connecting the capital
with this rich interior. there is 800
mile highway to David, forming link
in what some day will be the Inter-
American highway from Laredo, Tex,
to Panama City. Among the towns
and villages through which it passes
is Chorrera, 80 miles from the capital,
which is noted for its beautiful cas-
cades and the excellent hunting In the
surrounding country.
The name Panama means "the land
abundant in fish" Sailfish, broadbill
swordfish, black marling, mackerel,
tuna, dolphin, wahoo, bonito, snapper,
grouper and papagallo abound in that
fisherman'S paradise, the Gulf OF
Panama. These Pacific Panamanian
waters are said to present as nearly
perfect an area for game fishing as
can be found in this hemisphere. The
gulf is not only large, deep, relatively
smooth, but island dotted. Taboga,
with its quaint little village, interesting
old church and comfortable Hotel
Aspinwall, and the small adjacent
island, Tagogilla, lie only some IL
miles out from Balboa. Ten miles
beyond are Otoque and Bona, in the
midst of excellent fishing grounds.
IS Minutes by Plane.
The game fisherman out for big
fish generally goes still further out to
the Pearl Islands, about so miles from
Balboa, where he has q chance to
catch a record sailfish, weighing 180
pounds or more. Visiting sportSmen
trolling these waters will be enter
tanned by the Pacific Sailfish Club OF
Panama City, which has joined with
the Isthmian Airways in building
club house on Trapiche Island, one
of the Pearl Islands, only IS minutes
by plane from Balboa.
On the Atlantic side, the visitor
may also have a try for tarpon in
the Chagres River at the foot of the
spillway of Gatun Dam. Upon the
grassy slopes Of this stupendous dam
there is an odd golf course, but If the
golfer is looking for a sporty course
he should try the one at Panama
with the thatched-roof club house.
