One Of the really solid fash

a specific group Of women here

wear by seeing them on their

They note these models al

usually are in one color. Ear

smart pearl buttons. They don't

positively.
They are curious. They
study them. and If they are
bright they recognize the ele-
ments that make UP the other
woman's good taste. Some
times it involves re-educating
themselves to certain fashion
facts of life.
They begin to really read
their newspapers and fashion
magazines with a personal edi-
torial viewpoint. They begin
to see why a costume looks
right on the model and then

Ry ne Associated Press

Many thousands of American
motorists each summer accept
delivery of their new cars al the
factory and save enough on the
deal to pay for a family vacation.
The practice began in the
early l930s on limited scale. 1t
has now assumed such proper
tons that virtually every car
maker has a customer driveway
lounge and stages plant tours for
the customer.
What the customer usually
saves by taking delivery at the
factory is the total of freight
charges involved in shipping
the vehicle from the assembly
line to the local dealer.
When a buyer wants to pick
up his new car at the factory
he first places his order with his
hometown dealer. Usually this

range to have their States for
ward plates. Some States for
ward the plates after the factory
supplies the serial and engine
numbers prior to customer pick
up. Customers without home
State license plates are aided in
obtaining temporary Michigan
license stickers.
Practice Encouraged
The car makers encourage the
practice of factory new car pick
ups. They regard it as definite
sales tool for dealers in distant
points. And it gives the manu-
facturer chance to impress the
customer directly. He can be
shown where and how his car is
made. Also. the manufacturers
say, if the customer can be
favorably impressed. it may at
feet his buying habits on future
cars--and keep him in the
family"
Customer deliveries at the
factory hit their peak during
the summer of 1854. Suisse
quently most car companies
announced freight equalization
plans lowering the freight
charges to distant parts of the
country. Since then the saving
in freight by a journey to Mich
igan has been reduced. But the
customers continue to come in
numbers.
The company registers indi-
cate Pacific Coast residents make
up the majority of the new car
buyers coming to the factories
and that perhaps 10 per cent of
the customers are women.

are going to Europe this year.
At least that's what the experts
say. some IL months before the
final figures are in. And this is
another opinion by an expert:
About 81 per cent will go by sea,
some As per cent by air.
There will be berths enough
and plane seats enough for Amer

European tourist travel. say the
people in the transportation end
of the business.
More viii Fly
The International Air Trans
port Association estimates that
transatlantic air travel will
Jump roughly 20 per cent over
1856" and that the overall
worldwide increase will be about
Is per cent.
The Transatlantic Passenger
Conference, whose interest is
ships. reports that liner book
iings are well ahead of this time
last year. Further, therell be
additional ships on the runs
from the United States and
Canada-five new ones and an
other diverted from the South
Atlantic service.
The worldwide Cooks Travel
Service points out that these six
will raise to more than 70 the
number of liners serving Europe
from the North American con-
ltinent's East Coast during the
high season" from early April
to late October.
New Lines
The new ships are.

865 passengers in two classes.
Its maiden voyage to New York
is scheduled in February.

The liner coming up from the
South Atlantic in February to
add to New York's service is
the Italian Lines Augustus. 1t
carries nearly 1900 in three
classes.
Cooks survey for 1857 noted a
further trend toward tourist
class travel to Europe. both by
sea and air. 1t pointed out that,
on four of the new two-class
vessels. accommodations are
Overwhelmingly tourist class.
Figures for the last four years
led to the conclusion that about
70 per cent Of the air passen-
gers would choose to fly tourist.
"New" Places to Go
AS to new" places Americans
are going in increasing numbers,
here are some mentioned by
either Cooks or American Elk
press:
Travel to the Belgian Congo
gained IS per cent in 1856, and
similar increase is expected
this year.
Advance bookings indicate a
10 to IS per cent gain in Pacific
travel in 1857.
Almost $4,000 United States
citizens circled the globe last
year. and Am eric an Express
adds: Nov that a second Ameri-,
can around-the-world air service
has been authorized to Trans
World and Northwest Orient Air
lines. these lines predict the
volunr "a such travel will be
doubled by 1860"
More American and Canadian
tourists will travel through South
America. in the opinion of Cooks.
Backing this belief is the idea
that the 80 per cent air fare
reduction. announced last year
and recently extended. is begin
ming to catch on.
Having in mind the Pan Amer
lean World Always service,
Cooks survey said:
1.-TWO conditions will tend to
popularize air tours around
South America rather than just
down one coast and back: Trav-
elers under the reduced air fare
plan must fly south as far as
Lima. Peru; they have 80 days
in which to complete the tour.
Since Lima is pretty far south.

Boating Popular
In Desert Area

PHOENIX. Ariz.-Boating in
the desert may sound like some
thing from Alice in Wonderful, "
but it's a very pleasant reality
for vacationers visiting the
Phoenix area.
Contrary to impressions of
many people. there's plenty of
water around Phoenix for all
types Of recreation such as fish
ing. boating. swimming and
water skiing. And, strange as it
may seem. Arizona has more
boat owners per capita than any
other State in the Union.
The reason behind all this
and why Phoenix is often called a
desert spa-are the dam-formed
lakes along the rivers around
the Arizona capital.
About 81 miles northwest of
Phoenix lies Lake Pleasant with
its Winter-seasor inn offering
both lake and desert country
diversions. Some SIS miles north
of the city is Bartlett Reservoir.
a favorite with fishermen along
the Verde River. And about 43
miles northeast stands Sahuaro
Lake with Stewart Mountain

Most noted of all the lakes
near Phoenix are those along
the scenic Apache Trial that
parallels the Salt River. There's
Canyon Lake f45 miles away
Apache Lake go miles from
Phoenix and Roosevelt Lake 80
miles Distant
Fishing for good-sized bass
and other species, water skiing,
swimming, and--of course
boating are popular at all three
lakes.
