Railways Add
New Services
For Summer
Travel on Credit
Among Innovations
Introduced

If novelties will increase rail-
road travel, there is every indica-
ton that trains to the West, North
and South will run to full capacity
for many months to come.
Never before, in half years time,
have the railways introduced as
many innovations.
Travel on credit, drive-yourself
automobiles after a train trip, fiat
rate taxis at destination for use by
the day or half day, refunds on
meals not consumed on all-ex-
pense tours and party rates" for
large numbers of travellers, in which
the rate decreases in proportion to
the size of the group, are merely
a few of the plans devised by the
rails to keep step with the pro-
ceSsion.
Some of the plans are national,
some regional, and a few are con-
fined to one or two railways only.
Grand Circle Tour rates again

5000 miles of territory by rail this
summer at cost of l cent a mile
in coaches $50 for the round-trip
rate or for $l35 In Pullmans, plus
the S45 circle tour rate for lower
berth.
Starting from Washington one
may go to Chicago, turn southwark
to New Orleans in through sleep
er which goes all the way to Los
Angeles lthe 2.725 mile run being
the longest sleeping-car line in the
United States) and which lays over
at New Orleans from morning to
late evening for sightseeing pur-
poses. Turning westward, the car
traverses the great Southwestern
States-TeXas, New Mexico, Ari-
Zona, en- route to California. Trav-
elers bound for Mexico may drop
off at San Antonio for an all-ex-
pense tour of the Land of Manana
before rejoining the trip. The route
in question is that of the Illinois
Central-Sunset Route.
After covering the entire Pacific
Coast, the through rate permits re-
turn by way of the Great Overland
Route via Colorado
Tours through Rocky Mountain
Park, at slight addition to the rail
fare, enable sight-seers to reach the
highest points in the park by COM
Portable motors. The Trail Ridge
road is more than 10000 feet above
sea level at one place. Within
view are several of Colorados 81
peaks exceeding $4,000 feet in
height. Overnight stops are made
at the lake which offers the high
est yacht anchorage in the world
Grand Lake-at more than 1900
feet elevation. Here on its not
always placid surface, trim sloops
skim across the waters in the
shadow of towering mountains on
all sides.
Yet another novelty of railroad
travel is the free extension to New
England which the Grand Circle
rates afford.
But the details of Journeys lie
with the vacationist and his travel
agent-they need only take a rail-
road map and point out the spots
which they wish to visit this year,
and these are within reach on these
summer rates as long as they are

Season on Pigeons
Expected July 10

HAVANA, Cuba. June 15.-Early
indications are that the Cuban
government will declare the season
open for shooting Torcaza pigeons
which each summer darken the
sky over Cuba in their tremendous
migratory flights-about July 10.
Anything less than thousands of
Torcazas constitutes scarcity in
Cuba.
OF all the game birds in Cuba,
the Torcaza pigeon rates as tops
in sportiness and delicacy. As swift
as mallard or red head, the bird
can usually be brought down only
with good charge of No. 7 shot.
To make shooting more difficult, it
usually flies from $50 to $50 feet
in the air. Season bags average
about pound per bird
During the summer Torcazas are
found IN astonishing numbers
around Las Marinas Guane. La Fe.
Cayuco. Cortes and Bemates, small
villages near the western tip Of
Cuba.

within a reasonably straight route
westward or eastward.
Even Florida is accessible on these
rates, and in addition to the Grand
Circle tickets, numerous all-expense
tours to Miami Beach are planned
from northern cities, for Florida
looks forward to establishing itself
as summer as we'll as a winter re-
sort.
There are number of exclusive
features which various railways are
offering to their patrons. For ex-
ample, the Santa Fe is setting up
still another through train by way of
the Grand Canyon between Los
Angeles and Kansas City. The Bur-
lington is adding more Zephyrs to
its already large fleet of fast stream
liners. Northern Pacific emphasizes
the scenic novelties of its new Red
Lodge Highway into the Yellowstone
Park. The Milwaukee calls atten-
ton to the new Olympic National
Park in the northwestern corner of
the Pacific Coast adjoining the
Canadian Border.
In the East, the New Haven rail-
road is now offering a New York
Boston service every hour on the
hour" while the list of railroads Of
fering automobiles for hire beyond
the rail-head comprises virtually all
the leading Western lines as well
as two in the East. Missouri Pa
ciflc, when it cuts a schedule, does
it in major way by looping of

Francisco train time.
Meanwhile, the fleet of stream

There is no doubt that the rail-

eds such as the Overland Limited

like. The police will not interfere,
but it is the universal custom Of
the better class citizens to wear coats
in the heart Of the city. Coats are
required for visiting some Of the
public buildings and in the better
restaurants. A white dinner coat
is correct for formal evening func-

Ladies will find sports clothes of
