AS for the traveller, the credit ar
rangements are simple. On apply
ing tor space, he simply signs a
form, entering his address and place
of employment. Although one of the
local banks finances the deferred
payment vacations, the traveller is
not required to negotiate the credit
beyond signing the necessary paper.
This eliminates one of the steps that
proved psychological barrier to
some of the plans in operation be-
fore the war.
Other plane lines, other steam
ship companies and the railroads
are waiting to see how the new
scheme goes over with the public.
If genuine demand materializes
for this type of vacation budget
ing, they make no effort to conceal
their intention of climbing on the
band wagon. The plan naturally fits
in with the more ambitious and ex-
pensive tours. Thus expansion of
the system will permit many per-
sons to realize trips they have
dreamed about but haven't been
able to budget.

No Trace Of Poison in

have ruled out the possibility that

could have died as the result of al
cohol poisoning, chloroform. ether,
Knockout drops or carbon monoxide.

determine If the girls stomach or
liver contained any traces of sleeping
drugs or the derivatives of heavy
metals like arsenic. mercury COM
pounds or bromides.
The laboratory tests, including one
yesterday for cyanide poisoning. 50
far have turned up no evidence to
dispute the opinion of the Arlington
County coroner that "the probable
cause of death was drowning"
A workman on George Washington
Memorial boulevard found the girls
body last Thursday afternoon lying
face down In a few inches of water
in shallow Rocky Run just under a
