RAILWAYS COT RATES TO AID VACATION TRIPS Improve Tourist Service; Boat Lines, Busses Follow Suit. by ff McCarthy hi*f Clerk Bijr Four Tr '': agencies of all sorts— rallronr‘ Doa - Tin os. traction lines. b . .-re c'Rring wider diversion In vacation trips and tours for thr summer of 1929 than for any previous year. Reduced rates ordinarily in effect a? this time of year have been r. red for the coming summer and rates to -everal points not n toilany includ' and in the reduction have been granted. Much more -service will be operated. and practically all this service v.i. 1 be imp-roved greatly and operate on horter schedules. The vacation traveler is being offered more for his money this year than ever before. Carriers have accepted the challenge of the privately owned automobile, which has been one of the chief factors in vacation travel lor some time past. The trend of much summer travel is expected to be toward the great scenic section west of the Mississippi. The principal rail lines spiring this sec’ion have made changes in the equipment and schedules of their trains. Cut Rates to West Until the past month all trains operating from Chicago to California in sixty-three hours had an extra fare charge of $10; now extra fare is charged only for the fiftyeight hour schedules, all extra charges on the sixty-three hour trains having been cancelled. Yet the equipment and appointments of these luxurious trains have not been modified —they still consist of all-steel Pullman cars, with club and observation facilities, barber, ladies maid, and baths. The main trunk railroads in the west have added attractive rail and motor bus side trips to their tourist program, making it possible to spend a week or an entire season pleansantly in that section. Eastern Rates Lowered Nor have the western roads outdone the eastern roads in giving to the summer tourist the highest grade of service at a minimum cost, •the east, always attractive to the tfaveler from the middle west, is being favored with a number of new fast trains. At least one line has inaugurated a new' idea in the matter of adding to its service several de luxe allcpach trains between principal eastern cities. These trains, consisting of club cars, new style coaches with bucket-type seats, and observation c&rs. are now- in operation from Cincinnati to Detroit and from Buffalo to New York and from Detroit to Chicago. Passengers on such trains ate given these de luxe conveniences at no extra charge. During the coming summer reduced rates to New York City and Atlantic seashore points and return via direct routes will be in effect. The basis for such reductions will be one and one-half times the regular one-way fare for the round trip. Such reduced fare tickets will be on sale each Saturday from June a to Aug. 31. inclusive, and will have ft return limit of thirty days from date of sale. Boats Follow Suit The boats operating in the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence river, and along the Atlantic coast have also made improvements in their service. Some new boats will begin operation in these waters during the coming summer and those that have bten in service in the past have been made more desirable through complete overhauling. Besides the summer tourist fares in effect to the seashore points. Canada and the Aciirondacks. there will be available the circle tour fares. 'These circles greatly vary in size, tfie smallest one being a trip in on direction to New York and the other direction through Washington and liorfolk. requiring about ten days: or it can be expanded at the option

The passenger is given the choice of using boat or rail between all points that have both services. are graduated according to the size of the trip. Offer Trip to Bermuda Another popular holiday tour that is being offered in Indianapolis is an all-expense trip to Bermuda. These sunny islands are especially attractive in the summer because of the two-day ocean trip from New York and because of the moderate temperature of the -islands. One of the newest and most palatial liners plying the north Atlantic has been put in this service recently. The cost of the tour is approximately the same as the cost of a similar two weeks’ trip in the states. AVOID HOT DOG, SODA POP. ADVISES TRAINER Drink Fruit Juice Beverages and Milk, Says Expert. Avoid the hot dog and soda pop,” says Arthur A. McGovern, noted physical trainer and the man who brought Babe Ruth back, in his advise to those enjoying week-end outings. “There are other things to drink that arc more nutritious and have not the harmful effect of charged ales and 'sodas. And they come in bottles, too, insuring freedom from bacteria and enabling you to take them with you for your luncheon. “There are bottled orange juice, ime juice, tomato juice and chocolate drink. And there is always the good old bottle of milk. All of these ire healthful and nutritious, and ulto as refreshing as that soda pop ”

Hundreds Study A broad During Vacation Season

Summer Sessions Open Opportunities for Thousands. Bn Thins Special NEW YORK. May 25.—Heidelberg, Oxford, Grenoble! The name of a foreign university always has held a breathless significance for Americans. Formerly study abroad was limited to the chosen few, out today tourist travel and summer sessions have opened the way fr” thousands of eager men and women to realize the dreams of a lifetime. Last summer more than 100 Americans registered in the University of Berlin, seventy-five at Vienna and many others at the Sorbonne, Cambridge and Geneva. With increase in travel has come a demand for more detailed knowledge of the countries visited, more background on language, customs, history, art and the like. In answer 104 universities this year have opened summer terms for foreign, as well as native students and travelers, according to the report of the League of Nations Institute of Intellectual Co-operation. These sessions are from one week to three months in duration. The price for tuition and board ranges from $lO to S3O a week, according to monetary exchange of the country and the kind of accommodations desired. In many places students will have the privilege of rooming in the historic dormitories. Excursions with guides to points of interest, social meetings with citizens of the towns and a chance to learn some interesting details in the life of the people, which the ordinary traveler does not have time or opportunity to observe, are among the advantages offered by these summer schools. COLDWATER HAS ISLAND Michigan Lake Resort Is Just Over Indiana Line. Coldwatcr lake, situated in Branch county, Michigan, rightfully belongs to the Steuben county group and is only three miles north of the Mich-igan-Indiana state line. As near as can be estimated there are 1.730 acres in Coldwater lake. In the center is an island of 129 acres. This is one o. the showpiaces of Michigan. A rood gravel road, similar to that w.iich skirts the shores of the lake, connects the island with Peninsula beach at the southwest side of the lake.

S- Revcnuie Bureau Rule Cited by Motor Club. Where a gasoline tax is imposed by a state specifically on the owners and drivers of a motor vehicle, it is deductible from the gross income, says the American Automobile Association. basing the statement on a ruling by the bpreau of internal revenue. The national motoring body points out, however, that “if the tax is added to or made part of the business expenses of such owners or drivers, it can not be deducted separetely as a tax.’’ “The bureau's ruling deals specifically with the Michigan tax,’’ says the A. A. A., “but the principle is applicable in other states.”

LAKE WAWASEE OFFERS IDEAL VACATION SPOT Resort Has Gulf Course, Dance Hall, Modern Hotels. Lake Wawasee, Indiana's largest lake, presents an ideal vacation spot, with a recreational appeal to every taste of the summer visitor. It has been term&d the “show-place of Indiana,” and has many features to lend substance to this claim. Modern hotels, the largest open-air dance pavilion in Indiana, an excellent 18-hole golf course, splendid beaches and such added features as motor boating, bathing and horseback riding make it the “Atlantic City of the mid-west lakes.” On the south shore stands Waco, the beautifully located and lavishlyequipped amusement center of the entire lake. The interior of this building has been redecorated throughout this season and newlighting effects have been installed. Waco now has a modern “soda grill” and other improvements to give it the appearance and elegance of a seaside resort. The booths of this dainty food and refreshment shop are painted in two tints of green. Whole parties or individual couples can be served everything in the sandwich line, coffee and all fountain drinks and delicacies. Every night hundreds of couples dance through the summer season to the music of H. Ross Franklin’s famous band featuring William Marshall at the saxophone and clarinets, which plays also on holiday and Sunday afternoons. Over on the north side of the lake near the B. & O. station is a long stretch of land known as Jones’ Landing. West of Jones’ Landing comes the beautiful and exclusive district of summer residences known as Pickwick park. Although Wawasee is a large lake, it averages but a few feet in depth. There are deep “holes” here and there —such as the Conkling Kettle —but in the main one can see the bottom through the clear water. These numerous broad “flats” afford fine grounds for trolling and spoonhook. The lake contains a wide variety of the finest species of fish. Perhaps the chief of these is the black bass, making Wawasee known as the best bass lake in the state. Syracuse. Ind., the principal town near the lake, is located at the west end on a smaller body of water connected with Wawasee by a channel, The connecting channel has been dredged and made easily passable. And the roads surrounding the lake have been paved and improved. The town is located on the B. & O. railread and supplies the wants of the resorters. ,

ANGLER TELLS HOW TO CATCH WHITE PERCH Use of Worm and Spinner Advised by Magazine Article. The best methods of catching the white perch are described in an article in the current issue of “Field and Stream.” “The best method I have found for catching the white perch,” writes Seth Briggs in Field and Stream, “is by strip casting with a nine-foot fly rod weighing about five ounces. In connection with this. I use a regular enamel fly casting line and a number O double nickle spinner and a number 4 tandem hook on which I artistically drape a juicy night walker. I handle this rig in the water just about the same as I would a bass fly except that I give my lure more of a steady motion instead of jigging it. Trolling with this lure, if you enjoy it, or if conditions demand it, often works just about as well. “I have caught white perch with flies also and I much prefer this method. The only trouble is, I get more fish with worm and spinner.

Casting Rod Balance Is Important, Says Dealer

Warsaw Merchant Gives Tips on Best Fishing Equipment. Charles Mauzy. who owns a sporting goods store at 108 Center street, Warsaw, is considered an authority on fishing tackle and the art of fishing. “If you wish to cast,” says Mauzy, “be sure that your casting rod is of the proper balance so it will not impair your wrist action. The rod should not be too heavy, the length ranging from four and one-half to five and one-naif feet, with a good flexible, swltchy tip joint and a freerunning reel.” For the fisherman who is just learning to cast, Mauzy suggests a level winding reel that will hold fifty yards of good braided silk line, not too heavy, with a test of from twelve to eighteen pounds and aoout six inches of cable leader. "If it is a bright day. continues Mauzy, “and you are fishing ir L a place where the moss comes to the top of the water, use a green or scale-back minnow of the floatei ty Tjf the lake is free from vegetation, take a bait that will run from three to six feet deep unless you piefer a pork rind bait, then don’t foieet that there are only two good makes of these baits— Heddan and A1 Foss.” . “A fisherman who does not care to cast.” says Mauzy, “should get a good, straight bamboo pole (not too heavy) with a tapering tip. He shouid use a fine line of some dark color of the length which he can best handle, and use a light-colo -ed float with split shot for sinkers. “The bait should be put on a short shank hook less than one-half inch across or smaller. Stronger hooks shuld be used in fishing for bass, but it is much easier to get a hook too large than too .small.” BOASTS VARIED ‘FUN' Many Amusements Add Zest to Life of Old Ft. Comfort Visitors.

PIONEER AUTO RACER IS NOW HOTEL OWNER Herb Lytle Won Title of Speed Demon Back in 1900. Herb Lytle, proprietor of the North Shore hotel, Tippecanoe lake, probaby is the oldest living professional auto race driver. His experience dates from the infancy of the automobile industry. Lytle, with a youthful partner, built his own autos in the early days around 1900, raced his own cars, which astounded the world with a speed of five and six miles an hour. While Lytle, in a little bam shop in Detroit, was building his first racing car, only a block away was Henry Ford, his friend, busy constructing what later became the “flivver.” Auto Had No Cooling System Lytle’s first auto had no radiator cooling system. His companion drove it while Lytle ran behind and threw bucketfuls of snow on the engine to keep it cool. Step by step Lytle built cars. He associated himself with all the pioneers of the auto industry, knew them intimately and worked and raced wtih them. From six miles per hour to twenty-five, then to thirty, then to sixty miles per hour in a speed demon in which President Theodore Roosevelt rode with him and said the equivalent of “Step on it. Herb,” was a long tedious grind of fifteen years of mechanical improvement. Lytle kept making his own racing cars and grabbing off prize money. Created European Sensation Then came Lytle's invasion of Europe, With his car, the marvel of the age, he astounded England, where the law required two heralds to precede down the road and announce the coming of the speed demon at ten miles an hour. A member of parliament employed Herb to drive him on his campaigning and the crowds the auto drew elected him again to parliament. Fdr this Herb drew the tidy sum of about SI,OOO, sold hts car and set sail for home after an absense of two years. Raced in First Speedway He continued in the racing game anc. held a score of world records for speed and distance. He took part in the first 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Speedway and has figured in a half dozen smashups. He raced some more, but Tippecanoe lake and Kosciusko county won his heart. Now he entertains his friends and patrons at his quaint hotel. He doesn’t mention auto racing, but if you look behind the counter you will find two monster scrap books which contain hundreds of letters from Henry Ford, Duryea, Durant, President Roosevelt, Apperson, Haynes and other pioneers of the auto industry. There is also a. photo of. the king of England. FIND PUNCTURE VINE ALONG INDIANA ROAD Growth, Common in West, Is Great Menace to Motorists. LAFAYETTE, Irid., May 25.—Motorists along national highways should beware of the puncture vine. This is a western weed that produces burs with spines sufficiently sharp to penetrate and puncture automobile tires on which they are carried long distances. The plant is a native of the Mediterranean region that was probably brought to western seaports in ship ballast. Puncture vine is a serious problem in California and the .pest is spreading eastward along the routes of tourist travel. Recently a large specimen of the plant was located along the national highway near Greenfield, Ind., by A. A. Hansen, weed specialist of the Purdue -experiment station.
