ardized tour that appeals to the vast
majority of travellers. but for some
reason-routing or altitude or accom-
modations-6oes not give other vaca-
tionists the maximum of enjoyment.
Western Vacation Package" service
virtually becomes that of q travel
agency in attending to all details Of
the trip. After the vacation planner
has outlined broadly his wishes, the
railroad submits specifications" one
might call them, for the trip. The
specifications" include complete
itinerary. with full information about
hotels, schedules, recreation facilities;
things to see and an itemized cost
OF the entire outing.
A B. & o: Travel Bureau repre-
sentative thus explains 1t: "All we
need to know is when the person
plans to go, how long he will stay
and about what he wants to spend
for his vacation trip. The complete
day-by-day trip will then be planned
for him in detail, even to the matter
OF Pullman, hotel or camp reserva-
tions. There will be nothing for him
to do but pack his suitcase or trunk
and board the train. His Western
Vacation Package will schedule his
every move in advance, from the time
he leaves home until he returns after
his two-week vacation, or whatever
time he plans to be away"

General Advance Seen
In Near Future

NEW YORK, April % G.N.S0.
Despite continued market irregu-
larity, there is a growing belief in
usually well-posted Wall Street
circles today that the line of least
resistance should be upward in
the period Immediately ahead.
For two days bulliSh spectators
have been able to concentrate
their fire on individual groups
with highly satisfying results. On
Wednesday, the aviation shares
were the features, while yester
day, the utility stocks, long in
trading disfavor, turned in the
most scintillating performance of
the session.
Should this process of selective
strength continue, the feeling is
rife that before long a general all
around advance will be touched
off.
The utilities chalked up the best
gain in the averages Thursday,
with an upturn of 81 cents. In
dustrials were up so cents and
rails we're 7 cents to the good.
Volume, however, dwindled,
much to the disappointment of
commission houses, with turnover
approximating 100000 shares.

He would not be surprised to see
a note such as the following in
your favorite afternoon paper:
The Washington times., 1938-06-15
Joe Louis Camp Confident Of Slaughter,
Despite Punch Shy Opinion of Observers

But even some Of those who ad.
NIT Louis is something less than
a Superman insist that he will
knock Schmeling out. They point
to the fact that the duSky cham
pion punches with both hands. Is
young and a good boxer.
The fight therefore doesn't make
a great deal of sense considered
from a standpoint of the predic-
tionS. Somehow, those who are
qualified to talk about it refuse to
believe that Louis actually was
knocked out on the so-called
"legit" before. They prefer to be-
lieve it was the result of a lucky
punch or that he was over-confl-
dent and therefore out of shape.
NOT OVER-CONFIDENT
One thing is certain. He won't
be over-confident this time, nor
without keen fighting edge. He
learned his lesson before, and if
Schmeling repeats his knockout
it will be because he is the better
fighter. Louis is working like he
never did before and quite con-
fident, too.
Gene Tunney, who watched
Louis work yesterday, is among
those refusing to pick him, al
though you can detect that the

War Remedy

Don't misunderstood me. A
little harmless gambling on the
side is all right, but it is clear
that unless we stick to slot
machines the decline in popula-
ton won't be limited to mother
1n-laWS. AS a matter of fact,
we could undoubtedly abolish
war by having one big boxing
bout or one big race every year.
There wouldn't be enough people
left to fight.
I'VE must get at the root of
the evil. The complications Of
the sport are what demoralizes
our citizenry. For instance, one
complication in racing is the
amazing number of times you
can bet without getting your
money back. Add to it the fact
that you can put up 81 and get
back only 1920. If you don't
club your mother-in-law after
this you are either a millionaire
or just plain thick.
There is another little item
that enters into the matter. It's
those little cards. If you sit up
all night trying to make Joe's
Little Green Card, Hymie's Little
Blue Card and Noes Little Pink
Card agree and find that Harry

Joseph" was nuts. He meant that
Krakky was cracked when it came
to thinking himself into being
wild. 1t is, as Harris puts it, "a
wiloness phobia."
When Joe gets good streak
of control" explained Harris,
it'll be just the other way
around. Imagine how tough
hell be then? Without a doubt
he's one of the fastest pitchers
in the major leagues today and
I can't name anybody any
| faster"
When Krakauskas reported to
the Mats training camp, Clark
Griffith admitted he was guilty
of gross under-statement when he
said Joe was going to be another
Nose Grove. But somehow Kra-
kauSkas came to be man-made
fizzle. Griffith tried to change
his pitching style. Harris told him
to do thisa-and-thata. And Yves
Terrell was pleased to offer his
suggestions. AS result, Krakaus-
kas, eager to make good, tried to
listen to everybody at once. And
from then on every spectator for
miles around was in grave danger
of getting a cracked skull every
time Joe tried to pitch.
In one exhibition game he
walked IS men and finally gave up
in disgust.
Now he says:
I'm pitching like I want to
pitch-the natural way. They
just about ruined me trying to
change me around. I was doing
all right when they left me alone
last year. Now I'm not going to
listen to anybody. I'm going to
pitch my own way and win,
rather than pitch somebody else'S
way and lose" The kids got
wisdom, Wot?

Something May Happen

The Nationals have until
midnight tonight to swing the
deal or deals that occupied the
waking hours of President Clark
c. Griffith. Griff sat by the
telephone last night waiting for
news, and he will be there until
midnight tonight. There are
three or four possibilities. and =
any one of them develops, the
Nationals may be that much
stronger.
OF course, he is seeking pitch.
ers. He has canvassed the league
and several teams are inter.
eSted. In the usual course of
baseball chickering's, players were
named that would interest no
one; not even the Browns. But
with all of the teams, even the
Yankees seeking power, we may
look for something pretty soon.
Mixing baseball with golf for
a minute, a four-ball match is
