is the one factor prospective va
cationist should consider when
planning holiday by reservine
accommoda tions a full month in
advance. While many of the
Americas are busy building hotels
or redecorating and expanding old
ones used during the war, the de-
mands of a travel-hungry world
are straining present-day facilities
Time, tastes and red tape need be
no barriers to a foreign holiday
There are always Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Bahamas. None requires
documents of Americans except
proof of United States citizenship
All are short flights from the United
States and are served by a variety
of air schedules from which to
choose.
Rio a Travel Mecca.
Havana, for example, is only sc
minutes from Miami, and at present
there are II daily flights to the CO.'S
mopolitan Cuban capital. 1t takes
80 minutes to fly to Nassau, quaint
capital of the British Bahamas, and
there are two schedules a day out
of Miami. To reach San Juan
Puerto Rico, from Miami is a mat
ter of less than six hours. San Juan
is only eight hours from New York
under Pan Americans new schedule
planned for DC-4s between Gotham
and Buenos Aires, Argentina. In
auguration of this schedule is set
for the latter part of June.
Long-range travellers who antici-
pate a journey by air along the east
coast of South America will ulti-
mately and inevitably list Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, as an irresistible va
cation spot. Rambling along a bro
ken seafront for more than miles,
Rio, one of the most beautiful cities
of the world, is a city of gardens
and wide, beautiful avenues lined
by mosaic sidewalks and brazilwood
trees. 1t is a city of fashionable
cafes and excellent restaurants,
many located in the nearby noun
tains; modern motion picture houses
and theaters, cabarets and casinos,
where the visitor may play innumer-
able games of chance. 1t is the
home of samba and maxixe music
The trip to Poa de Acucar (Sugar
Loaf is made by funicular carriage
There is fishing through the entire
bay around Rio and swimming at
the world-famous beach of Copa-
cabana. Travellers with more leisure
will want to visit Sac Paulo, the
greatest industrial center of all
South America-often called its
Chicago. Although Brazil requires
a passport, visa and other docu-
ments, the delightful country is
headed for top place as a tourist
mecca.
Twice-daily Clipper service to Ric
de Janeiro soon will be augmented
by speedier more luxurious air travel
with huge ur-engined DC-4s. Cut
ting nearly SIS hours from the tota
flying time between Miami and Rio
the giant Clippers will offer 24-houl
service to the Brazilian capital. This
service, which is expected to go into
effect about July l. is only one Of

best dairy farms in the country.
Mexico offers something to trav-
elers Of every taste and interest.
To satisfy the sophisticate, there
are smart night clubs, theaters and
restaurants; Sunday bull fights in

Mexico City, however, is crowded
with refugees from Europe and most
of its hotels are always filled to
capacity, so that reservations should
be made as far in advance as pos
sible.
A holiday in the Caribbean can
have a British, French or Spanish
flavor, depending upon whether you
go to Jamaica, Haiti or the Domin-
lean Republics. Both the British

of Haiti, which is French in heritage

of the primitive and cultured.
Luxury and Mountains.
In the capital cities Of Kingston

bathing and good highways.
The Dominican Republic Is also a
country of mountains. It's capital,
Ciudad Trujillo, was the first per-
manent settlement of the Spaniards
in the New World, and many of the
massive buildings they erected in
the 10th century still stand.

Executive Notes Response to Travel Plan

Year, sponsored by the association
and which will be followed out for
a full year. Practically every State
and regional promotion group, as
well as transportation lines, gaso-
line companies and most of the
other agencies catering to the pleas
ure travel and vacation business are
cooperating in Victory Vacation
Year-and one of the finest forms
of that cooperation is the effort
being made to stagger the vaca-
ton season and to stretch 1t out
at both ends SO that all who want
to go places, see things, rest and
relax may do so without encounter
ing what would otherwise be a
problem of providing accommoda-
tions during the few short months
of summer. Employers, too, are
following out the suggestions for
staggered vacations and are urging
their employees to take them either
this month or in late summer or
early fall.
The simple rules suggested by the
association officers at their mid-May

meeting are even better today than
when announced. They are:
Take vacations early or late
avoid midseason congestion.
Make reservations at resort hotels
now. Also make train, bus or air
reservations as soon as destination
is decided on.
If major resorts cannot handle
you, remember there are many thou
sands of smaller establishments in
attractive out-of- -the-way places.
Travel in the middle of the week
whenever possible, whether by car,
train, bus or plane.
Drive with extra care. Cars are
not in prime condition and the same
may be true of highways in some
sections where maintenance has
been retarded by lack of materials.
Don't be too critical of services
and facilities. Remember the recrea-
tional industry is still handicapped
by material, labor and food short
ages. Indications are that this
situation may become worse before
1t becomes better.

Chile's Racing Season

SANTIAGO, Chile, June S.-Those
tourists who do not swim, ride, ski

capital has such spectator sports as
horse racing, polo matches and ro-
deos, as well as football, cricket and
tennis.
On Sunday and holiday after
moons from April to December,
horse racing draws enthusiastic au-
diences to the Club Hipico. The
beautiful racetrack is popular

Changes in Law Asked
By Montgomery PTA

er Association Council, it was an
nounced last night by Leslie M. Able,

State superintendent of schools and
should be certified by the State
Board of Education in much the
same way as teachers.
The present system Of school
maintenance, the council declared,
"is entirely inadequate"

Sherbow Plan Means
in New
Taxes, Council Says

IF recommendations contained In
the Sherbow report are put into
effect, citizens of Maryland will have
to raise $12,5O0,O00 in additional
taxes, the Maryland Public Expendi-
ture Council warned last night.
The sum, the council added, is
equal to twice the amount of in
come taxes collected in 1916, and Is
NEARLY five times the amount
raised from the State property levy"
The special commission appointed
by Gov. O'Conor, which prepared
the Sherbow report, suggested re-
shuff1ing of tax receipts to the end
that Baltimore city, the counties
and towns would benefit by more
than $12,500,000 extra revenue.
New State taxation" will have
to be put into effect, according to
the councils analysis, to make up
for reduction in State revenues oc-
casioned by the extra benefits to
Baltimore, the counties and towns.
The council concluded its analysis
by raising four questions:
"Will this new easy money merely
result in additional spending
should revenue for local governments
be levied and collected by the State
>. should each unit determine its
own expenditures -. g. are the pro-
posed benefits to the individual
localities worth the tremendous in

Of all city penal, health and well

He said his department uses

two years of 20 cents a pound,
while the Health and Welfare De-
partments together use about 10000
pounds.

rock, catfish and carp
eve have heard that even with
less desirable type of fish, such as
carp and catfish" Mr.. Clemmer said,
that new processes make them
edible"
"In the event Our fishing luck is
poor" he continued, 1--WE have found
it would be possible to buy fish at
cheap prices from private fishermen
in the area, and with the cold stor-
age equipment proposed, process it
and sell it at profit"
Even if the luck is good, the direc-
tor said he thought fish should be
bought "once in a while" from the
local fishermen "as a matter of
good will"
In principle, such purchases, he
said, would be no different than the
present practice of the penal insti-
tutions Of buying pig iron and scrap
metal for processing into casting by
the iron industry.
