Railroads Will
Sell Travel On
1nstallment Plan

Into the news this week comes
an announcement that will bring
cheer to the hearts of the legions
of substantial Americans who want
to trave, but cant spare the
money just now" The announce
ment brings assurance to millions
that the s'ogan, " 1910 is Travel
America Year" really means some
thing after all. From now on, you
can literally travel and pay later.
A Travel Credit Plan, sponsored
by &C great raj roads, makes pos
sible the purchase of railway trips
and tours in the same manner that
you buy your car or radio-.on
convenient monthly payments.
The plan, which becomes eff
fective May 90, is exceedingly
simple. The prospective user mere
ly goes to the ticket office of the
cooperating railway over whose
lines he wishes to travel, or to a
travel agent, and makes app.ica-
tion for credit in the amount Of
the cost Of the proposed trip or
tour. If the rountine credit inquiry
indicates an ability to meet month
ly payments, he is notified that his
ticket is ready for him. The only
contact in connection with the ap-
plication is with the ticket Or
travel agent, just as though the
ticket were being purchased for
cash. The application is passed up
On within twenty-four hours.
Use of the Travel Credit Plan
requires no collateral-only the
signature of the individual. The
cost of the proposed trip, however,
must total $50 or more to be eligi-
BILE for purchase on credit. No
down payment is required. There
is a nominal service charge for the
credit accommodation.
1t Is predicted that the largest
use of the Travel Credit Plan will
be for vacations and other recrea-
tjonal trips and tours, although
the service is intended to cover
any form of railway travel. Credit
is not necessarily confined to the
cost of transportation alone. It
may be used for Pullman accom-
madations a,l-expense tours, which
usually include hotels and meals,
specified side trips, and any ser

HOW TO KEEP FROM GROWING
OLD

If you're living in the past, it's
a sign you're getting old.

over old wrongs, old troubles and
old heartaches, it's a sign you're
getting old.

road ticket office.
A nationwide survey of the va
cation and travelling practices of
average Americans indicates that
many persons are frequently fore
ed to forego trips or vacations be-
cause of financial stringency right
at the only period of the year in
which they can get away to enjoy
themse YES. For such individuals
or families the credit service is
seen as a veritable boon.
Others will use the plan, it IS
expected, who might have suffici-
ent cash to make a trip, but who
would have to compromise on it's
extent or would be forced to econo-
mize too rigidly in order to meet
normal expenses of travelling,
apart from the actual railway fare.
By taking advantage of the credit
for the purchase of all or a part
of the actual transportation the
trip could be made in proper
fashion and with vastly increased
enjoyment.
AS an example of the potential
money saving advantages of the
plan, in addition to it's convenience
a railways spokesman cited the
hypothetical case of an eastern or
midwest coupe who might plan
tour taking them as far as Seattle.
but who would be financially un-
able to make a long-dreamed-of
Alaskan Cruise from that point.
NOW, instead of abandoning that
dream, or at least being put to the
expense of retracing the trip to
Seattle and thence to Alaska at
some improbable date in the fu-
ture, they could use the travel
credit plan and go the whole way
at one time and at great saving.
Economists look upon the plan
as probably the most dramatic and
far-reaching step ever taken by
the roads in their efforts to make
rail travel a commodity which can
be enjoyed by the whole pubic.
1t Is regarded as evidence of the
progressive policy of the American

Why Always Such A
Hurry?

This swiftly changing world has
-ent up our blood pressure.
Time was when our main
method of transportation for any
distance was the stage coach,
operating on a once or twice-a-
week schedule, weather and roads
permitting.
One would patiently await it's
rrival for hours, or days, Willing
away the time was best we could.
Then, when finally on the way,
one could generally depend on live
OrsepOwer to make his destina-
cn, but at a comparatively lei
;urely peace. yet one didn't fret
about it.
Now what happens? If you miss

Remember how angry you were

Treasure Island On
San Francisco Bay

Countless thousands of Ameri-
cans will travel westward this year
to attend the second season of the
Golden Gate International EXposi-
ton. scheduled to open on Treas
ure Island on San Francisco Bay
May %.
In anticipation of the Fairs open
ing. Treasure Island is undergoing
a complete transformation and Will
present an entire,y new picture to
its 1910 visitors.
The exhibit palaces and other EX-
position structures are being re-
painted and re-decorated. In many
of them the interior arrangements
are being entirely revised, while
new and more elaborate exhibits
are being installed throughout.
More than 100000 persons Wis
tied and were entertained at the
Golden Gate International EXPOSE
ton last year. when the fair con-
tinued through 254 days. The 1910
season has been limited to 130 days
but it is anticipated that the at
tendance record will be compara-
tivdy greater.
'It will be an entirely new Fair,
said William w. Monahan, mana
ger of the big show. at will be
bigger and better in every respect,
with a widely diversified program.
Entertainment features will COW
er everything from swing bands 10
symphony. but the four outstand-
ing daily features will be America.
Cavalcade of a Nation" / y.
Roses Aquacade, the Folies Ber-
gere and Salici's Puppets.
Production of these four great
shows will cost close to $1,5O0,O00
and. according to officials of the
Golden Gate international Exposi-
ton they will surpass anything
presented on Treasure Island dur
ing the 1899 season.
Exhibits this year are to be
more varied and of greater inter-
est than those of the 1899 Expo
sition. The Palace of Fine Arts
will feature "art in action" with
painters and sculptors actually at
work. There will be a large Sec
tion devoted to the old masters
and collections of contemporary
American and European art. An
other section will be given over to
the art of the Latin-Americas.
In the fled of science the Uni
versity of California is preparing
a new and even more comprehenS-
i've display than last years. Many
of the best features of 1889 are be-
ing retained, but numerous changes
and additions are being made TO
add TO the interest of the exhibit.
Already a number of major COM
mercial exhibitors have signed con-
tracts for the 1910 season. Among
these are the General Electric Co,
Ford Motor Co., General Motors
Corporation. Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing Co.. the Pc
troleum Industries, Pacific Grey
hound, Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. and others, including
railroads, travel agencies, steam
ship and air lines.
Latin-American participation IS
being heavily stressed this year
with FL Salvador, Brazil, Peru ana
Colombia already signed up as
participants and negotiations under
way with many others.
Japan has broken precedent and
signed for a second season with
the Exposition. Other foreign cou-
ntries that have arranged for par
ticipation include Italy, Norway
