MARENGO CAVE OFFERS MANY STRANGE VIEWS In Crawford County—Open to Visitors All Year Round. The tourist could enjoy perhaps no greater thrill than a trip through Marengo Cave, located in Crawford County, in the central southern part of Indiana. This natural wonder contains the most beautiful formations for any known cave. Cave is open to visitors all the year. Trip is usually made in two hours. Temperature of the cave is 60 degrees P, the year round. This subterranean world with its massive halls, crystal domes, groksiiue ceilings, giant glittering stlmgmites and icy stalactites, lay for thousands of years hidden within the bosom of the earth and was discovered in 1883. As you er.te" the stillness of these cool, nature! underground rooms whose floors are dry, and breathe the pure and natural washed air, a strange feeling pervades you. As your eyes become accustomed to the darkness and you are able to catch a glimpse of the frescoed v/idls and grottoed ceilings, the strange feeling leaves you. but you are filled with awe and admira tion. You follow the guide from room to room, hall to hall and avenue to avenue, over a distance of three and one half miles. The cares, worries and attractions of the outside world are forgotten as you roam this hidden fairyland.

Simple Rules for Safe Motor Touring As most motorists know, the curb is the edge of a roadway. The general priciplea underlying the laws of practically all states on this subject are: 1. A vehicle passing or being passed by another shall not occupy more than its fair share of the roadway. 2. A vehicle overtaking another shall pass to the left, but must not interferee with traffic from the opposite direcUon, nor pull over to the right tefore entirely clear of the overtaken vehicle. But in overtaking a street car, pass to the right. In an emergency pass to the left witli due caution after observing traffic from the ojv posite direction. 3. A vehicle turning into the roadway to the right shall keep close to the hand curb. 4. A vehicle turning into the roadway i the left shall puss around the central pioint of intersection of the two roadways, except when directed by the traffic officer to pass in front ofthe central point of intersection, and except when its turning radius will not permit passing around the central point of intersection without backing, pro vided the vehicle slows down or stops and signals effectively. 5. A slow-moving vehicle should keep as near as possible to the right-hand curb —the slower the speed the nearer the curb. 6. A vehicle on a roadway divided longitudinally by a parkway, wall, sunken lake, viaduct, safety tone, or cab stand, shall keep to the right of Buch division. 7.

Kistler, is In charge of the Pettis Information Bureau —a feature of the motor tourin? and camping exhibition being conducted by the Pettis Dry Goods Company. “Yes, sir,” continued Kistler, “camping seems to be growing more popular every year and eat h day finds new faces appearing at my desk asking for informatioi as to the best way to get to some place in Michigan, Minnesota, the Highlands of Ontario and other regiohs of a wilder natu.e. Nearly every one nowadays knows of the standard trips to New York and Washington, and it seems that people are taking more interest in the picturesque* lake regions of the northland. “From the number 'of inquiries as
