Back to Train Travel Tendency
Is Due to Improved Service

business moving westward Is at
tributed not alone to improved
comfort in train equipment, but
also because this year the low
rail fares make it possible to
take advantage at moderate
cost of the double attraction Of
the Worlds Fair and the vari-
Gus national parks.
Added Attraction
Thus the idividual who would
first go to the Pacific Coast
or to one Of the Rocky Noun
tain resorts for a vacation
amid the scenic wonderlands
those sections has the opportu-
nifty, too, of visiting the 1884
Century Of Progress" 1nterna-
tional Exposition at Chicago On
either the going or return trip
without additional expense.
Visitors returning from the
Worlds Fair this year have
pronounced it to be of even
greater interest than that Of
1888. Much of what was good
has been retained and a con-
siderable number of new fea-
lures have been added. The
Fair this year is of q more
international character due to
the different foreign villages
which have been created. each
one Of them faithful reproduc..
tions of scenes and life in ro-
mantle lands far away.
The National Government,
too, has focused attention on
the western resort country by
designating 1884 as National

time when an unfavorable for

tionS in Europe, has diverted q

Perfect Vacation
North we finally went to Bel

was delightfully."- novel, as none

a northern port before, and the
cool air was like wine.
About six days later, we
dropped anchor in Montreal,
and entrained for Washington,
feeling that our vacation had

A great change has come over
the travel.minded public, just
as striking as the change from
oil-larnps to- electric lights.
Today is q day of luxury.
Electricity has done away with
many wearisome hours of labor.
Gasoline plus the automobile
has engendered a desire. for
greater ease and luxury.
It is not surprising that this
desire for ease has spread fur
ther; that instead of worrying
about what to do. and whe~e
to go for the holidays, the would
be vacationist calls upon the
travel bureau experts as one
would call upon a doctor of
medicine, surgery or dentistry
for bodily advice and help.
Whether it is a short week
end trip to Virginia Beach or a
leisurely three-year tour Of the
world, the travel bureau experts
are in a position to advise and
suggest the best ways of get
ting most for the money TO be
spent.
They represent railroad and
steamship lines, airplane and
bus transportation; they have
q comprehensive and panoramic
view of the world at large; and
can expatiate on whatever form
of travel is desired. Thus has
come into existence a mode Of
travel destined to stay: the

preston that finds a cordial re-
ception these days in local rail
road circles.
The volume Of travel to the
Chicago Worlds Fair and to the
Far West this year compares
most favorably with that which
moved last year to similar des-
tinationS, according to obServa-
tionS made by the Baltimore &
Ohio representatives at Wash
ington.
There Is a decided back to
"train travel" tendency on the
part Of many vacationists this
year, and the B. & o. manage
ment believe that one Of the
major factors responsible for this
trend is in the greater comfort
afforded by air-conditioned cars,
. development incidentally in
which that railroad is the pio-
neer.
Comfortable Way
Not only has the Baltimore
d Ohio many completely air
conditioned trains operating
from Washington to the West,
but practically all of its through
trains now carry air-conditioned
cars Of one type or another.
The Capitol Limited to Chicago
and the National Limited to st.
Louis, the original air-condi-
toned trains from Washington
to the West. continue to main
tain their leadership in point

It is logical, of course, that

The Southwest has been
called the Land Of Enchant-
ment. In it even today, one can
find much of interest, history
and romance.
Here, are three distinct civili-
zations living, figuratively, side
by side yet largely unblending.
The modern, the Mexican, and
the Indian, to say nothing OF
the ruins Of the prehistoric civil
lization which is still an un-
solved riddle to our scientists.
In this unique and interesting
region found in Northern New
Mexico and Arizona, in the late
summer, three most unique
events take place. First the
Hopi snake dance, then the
gallup inter-tribal Indian cere-
monial, and last, but not least,
the Santa Fe fiesta.
The Hopi snake dance comes
usually between the 18th and
23d of August. 1t alternates
yearly between the villages of
the three Hopi mesas. It is the
Southwest's weirdest, most pic
turesque, yet most fascinating
Indian prayer for rain:
Live Snakes
The dance itself, which comes
lust before sunset, is really the
elimination of q 11ineAday cere-
monial prayer for rain. Live
snakes are used in the dance,
their part being to carry the
Hopis' prayer to the Great
Spirit. And rain seldom fails
the Hnnis after the dance.

flagship of the French Line,
although not due in service ur1-

making her existence felt in the
transatlantic travel world by
the changes in shipboard per-

French Line.
According to announcement
made yesterday FRIDAY, July

the effect that Henry Villar.

Hopi Tribe's Weird Snake Rites
To Fascinate Tourists Soon

The Inter-Tribal Indian Cere
monial at Gallup is a strictly
Indian affair. For three days
(August 20, 80 and 81, this
year, the finest singers, run
ners, dancers and artists, of
over 20 tribes, ride in to Gallup,
N. M, from the four corners of
the Southwest, to participate.
The afternoon programs are
largely of races and games.
The evening performances are
more spectacular, Illuminated
only by the light Of huge bon
fires. They come group by
group, to give their century-old
dances of healing, of prayer
and of thanksgiving.
Annual Fiesta
Then on September /, 2, 3
and 4, at Santa Fe, N. NJ, the
historic old capital holds its
annual fiesta, to commemorate
the reconquest by Don Diego
De Vargas. This celebration is
largely Mexican, with the
population of Santa Fe also
participating. There is a Mex
ican street fair, the ball of the
conquistadores, a pageant of
the re-entry into Santa Fe OF
De Vargas and his soldiers, and
the fiesta, closing with The
hysterical parade" in which
the whole town participates.
Each of these three cere-
monials is unique in itself.

to two days sailing on still

somewhat seasick!
While we fingered there, whis-

ture Of all large liners, the great

Trip. Planned to a Penny by Travel
Bureau Experts

Usually a conference pre-
cedes even a preliminary vacA-
ton plan, for there are several
important items to be deter
mined before the expert gets
busy.
Is the trip or tour to be per
sonally conducted or independ-
ent, first-class mode Of travel,
or economy? For educational
or recreational purposes? How
many going? For how long?
Mrs. Laura L. Waters, presi-
dent of Waters Ideal" Tours,
a seasoned traveller herself, has
conducted or sent on independ-
ent tours several thousands Of
vacationistS. She says: :

ORIGIN OF CRACKER"
Record.

When New York publication stated that the
term Cracker began because certain class Of
Georgians ate cracked corn as principal ingre-
dent of diet, it started general search for the
truth over the Cracker State.'
Many Georgians have written the Atlanta Con-
stitution for the correct origin of the name, but
nobody seems to know for sure Most natives are
said to believe that it originated in the ability OF
early transfers to crack their whips The eXplana-
ton, however, is almost as ineegant as the first
and prominent Cracker" wants the world to
know that it started in England as an application
to country politicians who were so clever in speech
as to be termed wise crackers" An old English
dictionary is cited as authority for the explanation
The appellation is probably one that 'tjust grew"
without anybody's taking cognzance of it until
too late to establish the correct origin. However
quite few Georgians have become interested in
how they came to be nicknamed that way, and If
anybody over here in the Palmetto state knows an
other answer no doubt the Cracker brethren
would be glad to have it as an addition to their

REVISED SALES TAX

1t is easy to develop warm sympathy for the
approaching legislature as the time comes for it TO
sigh deeply and settle down to doing something
about its highly conflicting proposals on the state
sales tax law. 1t was the one outstanding issue in
the campaign. They promised everything from
strengthening it to abolshing it.
And now comes the realization, probably to them
all, that the same conditions which forced in the
sales tax as lost resort continue to exist and
that the sales tax must be with us for two more
years, at least, even though no likes it.
However, there seems to be no good reason why
the law should not be revised in the light of our
two years experience with it. 1t has been heavy
burden the merchants, in their role as tax col
ectors without compensation, and the idea is being
revived that the present bookkeeping system should
be dispensed with and tax stamp system be sub
stituted There would be little difference so far as
the consumer is CONCERNED. The dealer would al
fix stamps to his purchases instead of as at pres
ent. The amount of tax would be the same. But
for the merchant the relief from ceaseless sales
tax accounting would be enormous The idea is
commended to the members of the approaching
legislature Charlotte News
