Rates for Children Cut.

No special fare rates have been
indicated for the summer other
than for children, but parents who
have hesitated in previous years to
travel by air on summer vacations
due to full rates charged for young
sters, can now take advantage of
the new airline rulings which per-
NIT children up to 2 years of age

airlines, by this reduced rate, have

those of railroads.

Thousands Of Americans who go
70 Europe for their vacations are
repeaters." Last year, according
to the United States Passport Bu-
rsau. every third applicant for a
passport requested the renewal of
. passport that was issued two years
before. As passports are good for
two years no record is on file of the
thousands who went to Europe in
1887 and went again in 1898. Ger
tain 1t Is that other thousands who
went last year are already booking
for this year. 1t has always been
true. There's not a liner on the At
lantic but carries on every trip men
and women passengers who can

boast Of their 10th or their goth
crossing" Sometimes these globe
trotters can tell of a voyage every
summer, excluding the war years,
for 40 years. They are the best
publicity for Europe They are the
answer to the challenge, ASK the
man who has been there!"
No group of travellers knows bet
ter than these repeaters how unim-
portant are the threats which come
every spring of war in Europe. Last
spring the air was full of such fears.
They did not heed them, but went
as usual and had glorious time.
They will 60 again this summer no
matter what the latest news may
be from the various restless poll
ticians.
Two Diseases Prevalent.
One oft-crossing traveller recently
said that Americans are suffering
from two dread diseases: Headli-
neamia and warjitteritus. Some Of
these diseased folk now expect a
European crisis once q week. What
they never seem to surmise Is that
the forces making for peace are not
only as powerful, but to date have
Been more powerful than the forces
tending to war At any rate the
great transatlantic steamship lines
have found out that there are many
thousands of Americans who are
free from these twin ailments, and
these lines have everything in readi-
ness for full season.
From all reports received from
the other side during the last month
1t would appear that an even larger
number of vacationists will choose
Europe this summer. Thousands Of
Americans who live in the Far West,
having decided to see New York and
the Worlds Faip have also decided
that having come so far, 1t will be
a good thing to continue on to Eu-
rope. Many who would have gone
to Europe last year decided to
postpone their trip till 1899 so that
they could take in the Worlds Fair
en- route. The reduced rail fares
in this country this summer make
the cost of the entire trip a very
attractive proposition.
Average American q Traveller.
1t is of curious interest to note
the classification of occupations
which the Passport Division has
made of those who travel to Eu-
rope. The old notion that you have
to be rich in order to have trip
to Europe is definitely an illusion.
Most of the people who journey
there today are average Americans,
many of them of small means. For
example, more than 10000 teachers
went over, and they surely are
average Americans; over 1000 clerks,
secretaries and stenographers also
had such trip. It is usually taken
for granted that laborers are not
very wealthy, yet figures show that
more than $4,000 skilled laborers
and nearly 5000 common laborers
were on the passenger ships last
year. More common laborers went
abroad than engineers, or than
lawyers or manufacturers. Three
times as many common laborers as
bankers took their vacations this
way in 1888
The prospect of a vacation in
Europe with the expenditure of very
little money is greater today than
1t has been for many years. During
the last few years travellers have
bought thousands of such books as
tell how to see certain countries
in Europe on only $50. The in

in all directions.
New Airliners Ordered.
American Airlines has 10 new air.
liners on order, five of which have
been delivered; the remainder will
be delivered within the next month
or so. The company is reported to
be planning an additional daylight
schedule between Washington and
the Pacific Coast via its Southern
transcontinental route, a new nom
stop schedule to Chicago and in
creased service between New York
and Boston. The plans are based
on consistent gains in passenger
traffic, including a 20 per cent in
crease in traffic out of Washington
to the Southwest and a 33 per cent
increase over the system as whole
during January. The schedules. as
is the case with Trancontinental &
Western Air and United Airlines,
will provide fast, frequent service
between the two great fairs.
All three transcontinental air.
lines are emphasizing service to the
Western National Park Fairgrounds
the increasingly popular Southwest
section, including Lake Mead and
Boulder Dam, and to the dude
