NATIONAL PARKS VISITORS GAIN; !1 SEE U. S. FIRST Yosemite Tops List; Platte, in Oklahoma, Second in Interest. 'BY GEORGE SANFORD HOLMES WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. - mpressive figures for attendance in lorty-six national parks and monuments of the United States, just issued by the Department of Interior for the travel season of 1928, offer substantial evidence of the fact u that the “Seeing America First” I movement still is in progress. I All records for travel to these I recreational reservations maintained I by the Government havebeen broken [■ this year. All told 3,026,273 persons i| visited the national parks and mon- | uments, a gain of 228,443 over the figures for 1927. ¥ Some Parks Gain The department’s statistics are conservative. Actual check on the immense stream of visitors in and , out of the larger parks is impossible. I The figures given out, therefore, may I be accepted as the minimum. ' / Attention is called by the Interior Officials to the increasing popularity I aof Crater Lake, in Oregon, where for the first time travel exceeded the 100,000 mark and to the fact that Hawaii National Park more than doubled the number of visitors it had in 1927. Among the monuCarlsbad Cave and Aztec Ruins in New Mexico and # the Petrified Forest in Arizona enjoyed substantial increases. Small Decreases Shown Small decreases to parks that normally should have shown increases is attributed by the department to temporary agricultural depressions or other causes rather than lack of popularity. * Yosemite National Park, California, tops the list with an attend- , ance this year of 460,619, a decrease however, of nearly 30,000 from 1927. Platt National in Oklahoma comes next with 280,638, also a decrease of about 14,000 from the previous season. Rocky Mountain National is third with an attendance in 1928 of 235,056, an increase of 5,195. v Yellowstone Park, in Wyoming, fourth in point of popularity, had 230,984.

CATTLE HERDS CLEANED UP North Carolina Is First 100 Per Cent State. Bn Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—North Carolina emerges as the the first State to clean up its cattle herds ’ 100 per cent, in the campaign being waged by the States and the United States Government to kill off tuberculosis cattle and thereby protect the health of humans. Officials tests have shown that there are less than one-half of 1 per cent of tuberculosis cattle in the States, and all cattle which have reacted to the injection of serum have been killed. Maine is mostly free, and other States making rapid progress are Michigan,* Idaho, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, according to the Department of Agriculture. The department and the States together between $18,000,000 and $19,000,000 to spend on the work this year, of which most goes to the farmers for indemnity on the cattle killed. The Federal appropriation is $5,744,000. A total of 22,000,000 cattle are under supervision, or more than one-third those in the United States, mostly in the dairy areas. Tests were given 11,000,000 last year, and the tests are proceeding at the rate of nearly 1,000,000 a month. '

GAY FATIMA OF NINETIES RULED FROM FILMS Hoochle-Coochie 35 Years Ago Held Unfit for Morals. Bu NBA Service NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—What do you mean American morals are on the downgrade and the rising generation is going to the gosh-awful-bow-wows? No such thing. The New York State board of censors has caused to be erased from a film of the gay nineties, antics of Fatima, who was all the rage of the World’s Fair at Chicago in 1893. The protection of modern civilization could see all sorts of harm in permitting the public to view the hoochie-koochie as portrayed by the famous. Oriental dancer of thirtyfive years ago. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, has been pierced for the longest water tunnel in the world—fifteen miles in length when completed.

• She was a salesgirl. She had worked hard to help the customer select the dress that left the store looking so new and lovely. She felt encouraged and mentally jotted down her commission on the sale. Then, the customer “changed her mind.” When the dress came back—more than a week later—it had lost its charm for the salesgirl and everyone else. The salesgirl also lost her' commission. The store suffered delivery expense and the cost of putting the dress back- into stock. A further loss was incurred through deterioration of the dress, which necessitated its being marked down. Public opinion is vital to reduce the loss in returning merchandise unnecessarily. This can be accomplished by judicious buying and an appreciation of fairness to tne merchant and salespeople. Trying on garments in the store has been found to be one effective way of reducing return of merchandise. # A reliable store is always ready to correct its errors. Frequently the Better Business Bureau receives complaints from the public that such and such a store refuses to refund on a purchase. In many cases investigation shows the only reason for the return of merchandise was that the customer “changed her mind.” There is nothing the Bureau can do in such cases, and complaints of this kind should not be sent to us. On the other hand, any complaints involving fraud or misrepresentation should be referred to the Bureau. Usually we can help you
