trades with such enthusiasm that
several of the boys have made APP
plication to take the government

one of the trades.
The purpose of the program was
to encourage race pride, and to
call to the attention of high school
students the various vocational OPP
portunities open to them, and for
which they should be preparing.
The results were very gratifying.

AHappy

Great Variety
OF Sea Trips
Offered

Let's step into the Office of travel
agency. 1t is, to be sure, a business
Office, but pleasurable business, for
the genial man behind the counter
deals in relaxation, in blue skies,
breeze-sWept seas, distant coasts,
majestic mountains and new faces.
Bright booklets, peeping above each
other in folder stands, virtually cry
out with travel appeal The world
Europe, the Great Lakes. South
Africa. Hawaii, the Golden Gate Ex-
position, Canada, Americas S national

yes, the paying. Perhaps, like most
mortals, you cannot buy a lifetime
in the worlds greener fields of far
away, but the travel men will rent
you sector of it and the memories
forever after become yours; perhaps
the purse dictates in part the deci-
sion of Europe next year-but right
now, the choice is a short cruise. A
happy solution!
The very name, short cruise, is an
ambiguous thing, describing a sort OF
magical horizon that is reached by
the traveller with only a week to
spare and yet embraces such distant
lands that the going and the coming
cram months annual leave with
beauty and new interests. From New
York to Halifax and return takes
but four days; Mexico City, via
Yucatans seaport of Progreso, and
Vera Cruz, with practically two
weeks in Mexico's capital and with
Havana on the way home, 26 days.
But early birds among the travellers
have cornered the market for this
latter cruise, and lucky is the late
conner who manages to find steam
ship accommodations before the
middle of August on the New York
and Cuba Mail liners Offering the
voyage. The same trip, cutting the
Mexico City visit to six days, Is
completed in 10 days.
With 18 days to spare and the wish
to enjoy the luxury Of a private bath,
the traveller may select the excellent
ly appointed Grace line ships which
sail every Friday for the Panama
Canal on an itinerary calling at such
fascinating ports as Curacao in the
Dutch West Indies. La Guira and
Puerto Cabello, Venezuela; Puerto

Beware Cheap Holiday
Thrifty Travellers in Europe Advised
Not to Stretch Funds Too Far

when I go to Europe I never
kick about the cost. It's worth all
I pay" True, it was not a poor
man who made that remark, but
then neither was he really rich. He
was rather an average American
businessman who does not like to
spoil holiday by cheapness.
During recent years Europe has
attracted hundreds of thousands of
tourists who have very little to
spend after they have paid their
steamship passage, and unquestion-
ably Europe offers a multitude Of
surprising and interesting expert
ences to the tourist who has little
pocket money, but the people who
get the most out of an overseas va
cation are those who put the most
in. These travellers do not rush
over with the crowd. They are wise
and "choosy," and you can meet
thousands of them on the great
liners and the small ones during
July and August. These are their
favorite travel months because then
there is a greater choice in cabins
and greater atmosphere of rest
and leisure among ones fellow
passengers.
Naturally, great many small in
come tourists 60 to Europe regularly
and do not kick about the COST If
a cheap vacation is the only kind
possible, there are inexpensive ways
of enjoying one in Europe. OF re-
cent years there have been many
splendid trips outlined which give
the traveller the highlights of a
country, including rail journeys,
board and lodging, for as little as
$50. If the small income tourist will
go every year and do only one coun-
try a year, there is no reason why
the summers holiday should cost
more than that amount in addi-
ton to the ship passages.
On the other hand, 1t must be
remembered that If more than one
country is contemplated in the
itinerary, the vacationist will be in
grave danger Of spelling his fun II
he attempts to do the thing too
cheaply. The Europe that has
attained the fame it now has above
all continents as the resort de luxe

most charming social life, are the
rewards of the men and women who
believed that Europe was worth
decent investment of savings.

July % until August S, the Royal
Regatta will as usual be held at
Cowes in the Isle of Wight. The
liners of the Atlantic two weeks
before will have lots of passengers
on board dreaming of seeing that
event, one of the really royal
events OF the land, but one visits it
with the same care as one would
attend ball in Washington.
Germany offers Bayreuth and
Salzburg-great music centers to-
ward which thousands of music
lovers from all over the world will
go. You will enjoy these famous
festivals best if you do not skimp
on expenses. They deserve to be
enjoyed by Americans in that way.
1t may seem proper for poor
travellers to go to the Feast of the
Pardon at Assist in Italy early IN
August. for certainly the sanity Po-

ing to pay for it.
