aroused.
Then the EXCL will want
his wife and children to see

These re-visits and explora-
lions are reaching such pro-
portions that a constant search
for new places is under way.
That search is one enviable
facet of Mr.. Harris enviable

as 80 per cent over previous

American tourist. They're more
aware of what is going on in
the world" he said. "They seem
to have an Unsuitable curiosity
and you have to look a long
time to find a Babbitt among
them"

This, coming from a man
who must have the answers
to such things as the phenom-
enon of the Midnight Sun, the
general theory on construction
of the Pyramids, relative merits
of various jades and the pygmy
population of the Belgian Con-
go, is high compliment.
A change in American read
ing habits accounts for the
change in the tourist. TIL e
prospective traveller is reading
more and more on the lands
he intends to visit; they're de-
vouring travel literature at a
prodigious rate, Mr.. Harris says
"And this is all for the good"
Record cruise travel is being
predicted by all the experts for
this fall, winter and spring, and
the reasons are many.
1.-THE increasing number of
couples who have saved all
their lives for one big cruise
is accounting for some Of the
increase" he explained. They'll
save $4,000; spend $4,000 on
transportation; $1,000 on land
excursions and another $1,000
