OUR SUMMER VISITORS
 (Boston Herald)

That there seem to be many more out-of-New England cars on the road this summer than year ago is more than casual impress sion. It is a fact. One hundred and six information bureaus scat tered throughout the six states re- port during the first two weeks of July an average increase of tour- ist travel of 35 per cent over 1883. The New England's coun- cifs, national advertising of our recreational facilities has enjoyed a 300 per cent rise in the number of inquiries per dollar expended and 6S per cent increase in the number of correspondents who said they were definitely coming here. These also indicated that they intended to stay longer and to spend more for their accommo- dations than last summer.

Walter Lippmann would like to have people exercise more care in their appli- cation of word labels to everything that happens. He has observed that "Fascism" and Communism" are freely employed by, most Americans without understand ing of their meaning. He suggests that it might further clear thinking on num- Der of vital issues now before the public if we gave up the practice of trying to describe what is going on in Washington by giving it the name of something that is going on in Moscow or Rome."

O. What is the origin of the phrase, According to Hoyle"
 A. Edmond Hoyle (1672-176O was the first systematizer of the laws of whist, and author of a book on games. For the use of his pupils in whist, he drew~ up a "Short Treatise" (1742). The laws of Hoyle continued to be authori- tative until 1864, after which they were gradually superseded by the new rules adopted by the Airing ton and Portland clubs. The weight of his authority is indicated by the phrase According to Hovie'' which doubtless first ap- piled to whist, and has gained cur rency as a proverb. Hoyle died Tn London, August 29, 1769.
