LAKE MANITOU WELL KNOWN OVERIND'AKA Excellent Fishing, Swimming and Dancing Make Resort Popular. Many words have been used to describe the beauties of Indiana’s resorts and watering places; in ,fact to employ an original description of the numerous advantages to bo found at all of these places is a task. Among the beauty spots of IToosierdom, however, is one that holds a warm spot in the hearts of the pleasure seekers of the State from Indianapolis north—hake Manitou located 100 miles north of Indianapolis, or forty miles north Os Kokomo on State ltd. 1 and fortyfive miles south of South Bend on the same highway. Well Known Lake. Just one mile east of Rochester, a glacial deposit wrought one of nature’s -niracles that is now known to thousands of Indiana vacationists as a place vhere they can leave dull care behind and forget the teeming heat of the city and their business worries. 'Phis lake, while not the largest in the State, is three miles In length anad in its waters the Walonite may snare the large-mouthed black bass, the one game fish to he found in any numbers in Indiana lakes and streams. The lake has been amply stocked with pickerel, blue gills, crapples, perch, sun fish and even, the large channel cat fish. For the bathers there are several beaches, floats and piers with diving apparatus. Many Hotels Hotels, camping sites, dance pavilions, cottages and the usual chicken and fish dinner 'establishments abound. There are the Fairview and Colonial Hotels, where are located two of the finest dance pavilions in the northern part of the State. A unique feature of Fairview Gardens is ijs open air floor constructed of concrete inset with steel filings. There are only three of these floors in the United States, the one at Manitou, one at the Terrace Gardens in Chicago and a third in New York. One more of the lake’s drawing cards is the nine hole golf links that was established about eight or ten years ago by the Rochester Country Club. This course is not one of the sporty links of the State, but hazards have been provided that make par as dilTicult of attainment as any of the most modern in Indiana. FRENCH GAS MIXED Auto Clubs Ask Government to Take Hand in Matter. French automobile clubs are asking the government to institute Standards of gasoline so that dealers may be kept from mixing different grades and selling the mixture as high grade. Two grades are now being sold, neither of which can be distinguished from the other.

BALLOON TIRE BRIfiSS SABINS IN FUEL COST Manufacturers State That Altogether Newest Type Is Cheapest. Hii XEA Krrrirr AKRON. Ohio, June 23.—Altogether. balloon tires are cheapest. That is the conclusion of tire makers here frem their observation of the effect of bulloon tires on fuel consumption, besides endurance, and on the rising tide of prices in the entire industry. Iw Rolling Rental anee From the United States Bureau of Standards in Washington comes the advice that fuel consumption witb| the balloon tires is slightly high® than that when cord tires are used" hut much lower than fabric casing use. Lower rolling resistance, almost as low as that of cord tires, is given as the cause. Yet. even against cords, the Government engineers say balloons stack up letter, Itecause of their tendency to take up the vertical movement of the body over rough roads and thus also reduce fuel con sumption. M.*re Fabric I’Bcs From the cost standpoint, tiro manufacturers point out that more piles of fabric have been put into balloon tires than formerly, and the crude rubber has leen comparatively less than that put into high pressure tubes. Since crude rubber has jumped from 17 cents to 65 cents a pound In less than a year, it is this that has caused the price of high pressure tires to he niised twice in the last two months.
