WASHINGTON IS NATION’S MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY Every American Should Pay Visit to America’s Capital. Every American should visit Washington. It is impossible to picture in words the boundless attractions that the National Capital presents. None can fail to be inspired by its beauty and splendor. * It is the most interesting as well as most beautiful city of America, if not of the world. Y6u can spend weeks here visiting one place after another, attracted by the great variety of interesting things that claim the sightseer’s attention at every turn in the Capitol, White House, National Library, Treasury, National Museum, Corcoran Art Gallery, Lincoln Memorial and other notable historic spots. Memorial Continental Hall headquarters of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is one of the more recent additions to Washington’s evergrowing number of impressive buildings. The gavel used at the laying of the corner stone was the same which George Washington used at the laying of the corner stone of the j Capitol in 1793. Her museums contain rare treas- 1 ures in the arts and sciences; prize j historical collections; sacred mernen- j tos and documents that are priceless, alone, will repay you for the journey. , To see Washington is to have seen the most wonderful capital city on earth. There is no other city like it. And once seen it will never be forgotten. Washington is the educational center of American citizenship. Probably no single trip could combine more advantages for pleasure and educational advancement than that to Washington on a Personally Conducted “All-Expense” Tour on the Baltimore & Ohio. The parties will be escorted by Baltimore & Ohio experienced tourist guides, who make all traveling arrangements and look after the comfort of the party en route and while sight-seeing in the Capital. The tours are conducted on a very high plane, and at the same time enable tourists to enjoy the economies that go hand in hand with group travel. These tours offer special advantages to high school and other organized parties. Where the party is large enough, special cars will be provided for their accommodation.

LAKE WAWASEE IS BEAUTY SITE Spanish Architecture of Hotel Gives Charm. Hotel Wawasee provides the environment of an ultra modern hotel with the advantages of a country club amid a cool summer climate in the deep woods on the shore of Lake Wawasee, largest of Indiana’s many lakes, and long known to fishermen and campers as a spot of unusual sporting advantages and rare natural beauty. Lake Wawasee, with the splendid contour of its wood shore line, its waters clear as crystal, its wealth of fish, its unlimited scope for all kinds of boating, the cool breezes that sweep in from its waters, and the wonderful cloud and sunset effects that hover over it, is a constant delight. In front of the Hotel Wawasee’s breakwater it has been especially kind to man by providing a sandy beach receding so gradually that even babies may bathe with safety and the staunchest swimmer easily finds his favorite depth. The spason "roper is from the 30th of May, Memorial day, on through the summer.

NEW YORK-ARGENTiNA HIGHWAY IS FORECAST Auto Ad Manager Expects Road to Be Built in Decade Construction of the proposed PanAmerican highway within a decade so that it will be possible to motor from New York to the Argentine was predicted by Robert R. Thien, advertising manager of the General Motors Export Division, upon his recent return to his New York office after a three months’ trip through South America. Completion of a highway from the tip of South America to the North American border would be “man’s greatest conquest of the wilderness,” according to Thien. He investigated in South America the feasibility of a motor expedition from Buenos Aires to New York. Thien expressed the belief that out of the second Pan-American Highway Conference, to be held in July at Rio de Janerio, will come the first comprehensive plan for an in-ter-American highway.
