II was an only child" she ex-
planned, "and my parents thought
there was danger in almost every
thing"
Instead of such close guardian
ship making her timid, it apparently
had the opposite effect, for Mrs.
Jones chose a difficult and trying
profession, nursing, and was one of
the first to offer her services to the
Red Cross recently for emergency
service If needed She married an
Army officer who served in the
World War, and who died a few
years ago from old wounds After
his death she started her world
travels.

she replied to question. People,
their customs and ways of living
have always interested me. When
am alone 1 can 60 where I wish
and stay where I want, and in this
way I have become better ac-
quainted with the people of other
countries"
Mrs. Jones made several trips to
Europe before the present war be-
gan and recalled preparations for
war in many of the countries she
visited as far back as 1894.
She toured Germany, Russia, Po-
land and Rumania shortly before
the present conflagration broke out
and has also travelled extensively in
the Far East.
Having visited Europe and the
Orient, it was with added interest,
she says, that she turned to South
America.
Passing through the Panama
Canal to the West Coast, Mrs. Jones
first visited Ecuador and Peru. With
an interest in trade and industrial
conditions in other countries, she
was particularly observant of the
shops and markets.
In Ecuador" she said, "the shops
appeared to be filled with cheap
German and japanese products. 4"
Although American goods are con-
sidered desirable, Mrs. Jones added.
prices usually are higher than the
Latin Americans can pay and conse-
quently cheaper materials of other
nations win the markets.

Vacationists TO Spend
About s. Billions
This Season
Sports Apparel SoIes
Show Large Coins
Over Lost Year
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 16.-Travel
circles estimated today that the Ma
tion's vacationists this year will
spend about $500, ,O00, 900 across the
country as follows:
Hotels, motor camps
and cottages 81, 600 600, 600
Eating establishments - l,OOO, 900, 900
Miscellaneous cSs Iss retail pur- ,oo ooo am
Gasoline. oil, other trans
portation costs 1,20O, 600 900
Amusements and confections 100000, 600
Around 100000 automobiles are
expected to be used for vacation
jaunts, taking between $1,000 600 and
$4,000, 900 persons on holiday trips.
Individual expenditures vary.
A QUESTIONABLE study of last years
spending made by the American
Automobile Association, however,
discloses its members took 1899 va
cations averaging 16 days each, and
spent an average Of $6 q day for the
Is days, or 500 per person for the
full vacation, excluding transporta-
ton costs.
Around s4OO, ,Oo0, 900 in 1889 was
spent on golf courses, at theaters,
and in other places of amusement.
The 1899 bill for hot dogs, pop and
other refreshments was $500, 900 900.
The money paid out this year for
a place to sleep is expected to
roughly approximate last years
81 ,000. 900 900 figure.
The estimated $1,000 900 600 to be
spent in eating establishments also
parallels such spending a year ago.
Around $4,000 900 to 500, 0,O00, 600
larger vacation outpouring is antici-
pated for 1910 in retail stores, how
ever. Marked gains over year ago
are being reported in sports apparel
lines, especially.
Gasoline, oil and other transporta-
ton costs are expected to be $780,
600. 600 or so greater than on 1899
holiday trips. The increases will
be the result of longer jaunts, not
higher prices, the experts say.
The amount going for amusements
and confections is expected to sur
pass year ago by few millions.
