Bermuda's Shells.

HAMILTON, December 2s.-In no
other spot in the world is the
hobby Of shell collecting quite as
popular as in Bermuda. The little
coral island abounds in material for
indulging this penchant, and collec-
tions found ther range frcm the
few pretty sea shells collected by the
tourist to take along with him, up to
the more serious collections of several
hundred land and sea shells, some of
the former rare fossilized specimens
of a plant life that has long since
disappeared.
There is scarcely a schoolboy on
the island but has some priced shells,
and there are adults whose important
and comprehensive collections are of
interest to scientists the world over.
The sea shells in the Bermuda col
lotions are hunted for along the
beaches, in fish traps and on the reefs
that fringe the island. Especially
priced in the collections are the
paper-thin, frail shells dredged up in
deep sea water, and the conch shells.
The real enthusiast for conch shells
can acquire a beautifully varied COL
lection In Bermuda. On the island
two collections boast of the Cassis
tuberosa, a mystically beautiful conch
with a bluish-black interior.

end of the island the Sea Island Fish
ing Camp is maintained, where surf
casting, river fishing and deep-sea
fishing trips may be arranged. Drum
and channel bass frequently weigh as
much as so pounds. Cobia and sea
bass caught on deep-sea fishing trips
range as large as IS pounds in size.
RUILT on Gascoigne Bluff. where
the timbers for Old Ironsides were
loaded, the Sea Island Yacht Club is
on the Inland Waterway and sees the
start of many cruises, moonlight sails
and speed boat trips on the serpentine
waterways. The yacht club also is
popular for its Saturday night supper
dances and furnishes the setting for
many teas, bridge parties and
luncheonS or dinners.
Continual social life revolves about
the Cloister and in the Winter and
Spring seasons several featured events
are planned each day for the enter
tainment of the hotel guests. There
is dinner dancing in the dining room
on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
and dancing every evening in the mod
ernistic club rooms across the north
patio from the hotel proper. Current
cinema attractions are shown at the
Casino three times week, and bridge
tournaments, concerts and Monte
Carlo celebrations are frequent.
The Cloister and the adjacent
Cloister apartments set the keynote for
the Mediterranean style Of architecture
followed in the residences on Sea
Island. With effectively Handicapped
grounds. many of the homes are built
to overlook the beach.

The Tra0elerS Notebook
By Jacques Futrelle, Jr.

~ REPAIRING for what may be a
- new vogue in travel, rivaling
the movement to Europe.
travel agents in the United
States are STUDYING up on Latin
America. The fame and fascination
Of the sunny republics to the south.
long known and appreciated among
Europeans, gradually have been
spreading, and travel shoppers are
looking over thrillingly new merchan-
dise-and price tags.
South America long ignored the
business of selling its scenery and at
mosphere, and Americans found it
easier and possibly more to their
mood to follow the grooves of foreign
travel carved in Europe. If on frugal
budgets, they could learn before they
sailed Just what they would have to
pay for railroad fares and pension &C
commodationS while skipping about the
continent. The persistence and trou-
BILE required in obtaining such infor-
nation on South America daunted
many a would-be adventurous visitor.
Plenty of money and plenty of time to
face possible setbacks were the only
antidotes.
This handicap Is now being swept
away and the fountain head of infor-
nation on what one should see and
what it costs is within walking dis
tance of downtown Washington.
COMPLYING with resolutions
adopted by Pan-American con-
ferences. the Pan-American Union a
year ago set up a travel bureau. It
doesn't sell tickets, but it does tell the
prospective traveller everything about
the countries, helps him map his
itinerary, estimates his costs accurate
ly and complies must see" list to
give him more than a casual insight
into the cities along his route.
When the bureau undertook its
work, definite information on prices,
accommodations and train schedules
was woefully lacking. Even steamship
companies serving the area could not
answer some Of the questions that, If
asked about Europe, could be cleared
up readily. The Unions bureau is
making all its data available to the
lines and travel agents. This fact no
doubt increased the South American
travel trend, one of the highlights of
the early Winter picture.
IN CONDENSED form. travel IN
formation is being made available
by booklets. Five already have been
published Chile and Brazil
among them. Although intensely
readable, they are written along
utilitarian lines, giving information in
stead Of cluttering up facts with long,
glowing and prettily turned phrases.
Brief chapters, some not exceeding 200
words, appear under the headings of
How to get there" What to see and
how to reach it." For instance. the
Brazil booklet tells how often the

PRACTICAL IDEAS

The country is full of business or
CARNATIONS, but not all OF them dc
much. Many of them just hold an
annual meeting or a dinner or
smoker once in awhile. at which
there are nice speeches and every
body has a fine time, but there are
no particular results.
In others a group of practical peo-
pie are running things, and they
have a gift of seeing practical things
that can be done. They suggest
plans by which the stores can draw
in more trade, by which farmers can
market their products more success
fully, by which manufacturers can
enlarge their business. There is a
chance for business expansion in any
community, if the people can but
see it.

THE MONFn 81 ROSFs

June has been called the month
Of roses. The ideal Of d former gen.
eratioh was rose covered cottage
It was conceived that when a young
couple built their nest in such a
home. the setting Of beauty must
create happiness. Someone has
called roses "the smiles OF Gods
goodness"
Gardeners tell of the warfare Of
the rose grower with rust and mil
dew and other foes. The rose is an
epitOme of life, suggesting that no
happiness can be reached In which
there are not battles to be fought.
Said Christiana Rossetti:
The rose saith in the dewy morn,
l am so fair;
Yet all my lovellness is born.
Upon a thorn.
How that expresses life! We may
strive for success, but II we attain
it it brings troubles. as the loveliest
rose may scratch us with its thorns
But the gardener does not root I'M
his roses because OF those sharp
POINTS, and we should not draw back |
rom life's ambitions because OF the
'ains incidental to the struggle.

THE ECONDMICS OF
ADVERTISING

Don't let anybody tell you that ad-
vertisihg adds to the cost of goods
It is the other way. that advertising
reduces costs. When goods are ad-
vertised, more of them can be sold.
The cost of handling large LOT OF
goods is not much greater than that
o. handling a small lot. Thus on a
large and successful sale, the oper-
ating and overhead costs per article
are small. But on small and un-
successful sale. the operating and
overhead costs are large on each
article.
The salespeople in a store keep
drawing their pay, even If few peo-
pie are coming in. The rent and
other costs keep running on. Adver-
tising gives a greater outflow of
goods to divide up these costs.
