U, S. TOURISTS IN EUROPE TO SPENDjILLION Vacation Travel Bookings to Be Heavy Despite Business Slump, /! y XE t £Vr> irr NEW YORK, May 2—ls the luxury of spring and summer tourist travel is any criterion, business prosperity is staging a surprisingly rapid comeback. For an American expeditionary force of more than half a million vacationists, according to steamship companies and travel bureaus, is going to Europe this year, and there will spend about one billion dollars. This migration has increased steadily in every season since the v. ar, to reach an almost undreamedof peak in 1929. Business depression following the market break brought hundreds of cancellations of early bookings and scattered pessimism throughout the travel industry. Expects No Decrease Now’, however, requests for bookings are coming in with a rush and, although two large steamship companies expect somewhat less traffic than last year, others anticipate no decrease and a few, notably the lines with new, fast vessels, expect to be booked solidly. Ship companies, tourists agencies and representatives of hotels and railways are working at top speed to prepare for the influx of travelers. A survey of their rate lists shows that increasing attention is being paid to the needs of the great bulk of tourists who wish to go as far and see as much as possible at a minimum of expense. Rale War Denied Rumors of a steamship rate war which would send passage costs to extremely low levels have been denied emphatically by company officials. Rates remain practically unchanged this year, with the exception of some downward revision in certain classes of accommodations. Cabin ships, vessels of medium size with only first and third class accommodations, and tourist third class cabins on the larger liners, are becoming more and more popular. For instance, while first class minimum rates to the British Isles range from $182.50 to S3OO. roundtrip passage is available in tourist third class cabins for $lB5 to $202. Living Costs Lower Living costs practically throughout Europe are reported to be slightly less than the average in the United States. Meals and lodging cost from as little as $4 a day to as much—and sometimes considerably more—as one wants to pay. Although metropolitan hotel prices are higher than those in smaller towns, comfortable board: ng and rooming houses are available at rates of only about $3 a day. Small Paris hotels have rooms at $2. and first class rooms in the large hotels of Switzerland start as low as $1.50. American motoring organizations have made it convenient for tourists to take their own cars with them. Approximately 500 persons did that last year. A car can be driven to the ship pier and there checked like any article of baggage. A small car can be transported for $l5O, and the largest one for $250. ALARM FAILS: JAILED Officers Close in on Home as Ohio Fugitive Oversleeps. POMEROY. 0., May 2.—Otmer Polk has forsaken all fai,th in the reliability of an alarm clock and believes if he had not placed so much trust in one he would not be sojourning in jail at the present time. Polk was wanted by West Virginia officers on charges of breaking bond and had been trailed for several weeks. He took refuge in the home of a brother near Point Pleasant and set the alarm for 3 a. m., planning to leave the state. The alarm failed to function and officers closed in on the home at 3:30 and rrested Polk, who now is in the Ripley, W. V., jail, bemoaning hi fate.

HUSK O’HARE OPENS TODAY AT CIRCLE Richard Dix Has Role of an Electrician in '‘Lovin' The Ladies, ’’ Now on the Screen at the Indiana. THAT the weather exerts a strong influence upon people's action is the surmise in the beginning of “Murder Will Out,” the First National and Vitaphone mystery thriller, which opens today at the Circle. An added feature on the program this week is the appearance of “Husk” O'Hare and his band on the stage. In “Murder Will Out.” a report of the weather bureau predicting extreme heat for New York City is read in the first reel and foreshadows some of the eerie events that follow. Jack Mulhall and Lila Lee have the leads in “Murder Will Out,” which is taken from "The Purple Hieroglyph,” a story by Murray Leinster.

The supporting cast includes such well-known players as Noah Beery, Malcolm MacGregor. Hedda Hopper, Claude Allister, Tully Marshall and Alec B. Francis. “Husk” O’Hare and his band have been booked for one week only. They come here from Chicago where they have been engaged at the Stevens hotel. Lester Huff is at the organ playing a medley of tunes entitled “Gypsy Airs.” Charlie Murray in “His Honor, the Mayor,” is the featured short subject on the program. A Paramount sound news reel completes the bill. n a RICHARD IS NOW AN ELECTRICIAN Richard Dix in the role of an electrician who masquerades in high society, comes to the Indiana theater today in the all-talking comedy romance, “Lovin’ the Ladies.” It is the stars’ second Radio Picture, an adaptation of the successful stage play, “I Love You,” by William Le Baron, vice-president in charge of RKO productions. Instead of the traditional heroine, Dix is involved with four women in this feature screen attraction. They are Lois Wilson, formerly co-starred v:th Dix: Rita La Roy, Renee Macready and Virginia Sales. When the star becomes involved in this “quintangle” story, excitement, suspense, drama and hilarity are the result. Melvin Brown directed. The stage presentation, “Rivers of the World,” features six big acts, including Allen and Canfield, Ben Dova, Carlos Peterson, Virginia Bacon, Worthy and Thompson, Louis Deppe and the River Memories Ensemble. Ed Resener is conducting a specially arranged prologue to the stage show. Dessa Byrd is offering an organ solo and a Paramount sound news reel. n n SINCOPATION WEEK IS DUE AT LYRIC The first annual spring syncopation show, which is scheduled for the patrons of the Lyric, starting Saturday, gives promise of being a most entertaining affair. As the headlined stage feature Jack Kneeland and his Merrymakers has been secured. Sixteen versatile artists comprise the act,

Teaching Facts of Sex Formerly the subject of sex was associated with secret and vicious practices; to discuss it was indecent. Now men and women are coming to understand that the sex function is connected intimately with the physical, mental and moral development of the individual and with the welfare of the entire race. People are learning that its right use is the surest basis of health, happiness and usefulness and that it is a subject full of noblesness, purity and health. A wholesome curiosity about birth and sex exists in all normal children. When your little boy or girl first asks, “Where did the baby come from?” or “Where did the kittens come from?” the mother’s or father’s opportunity has come. Can you meet these questions without evasion or falsehood and can you follow up this first opportunity with wholesome advice and help on this subject as your children grow up? Our Washington bureau has ready for you an authoritative bulletin, drawn from United States government sources, on “Teaching Children the Facts of Sex.” Send for it and perhaps avoid a tragedy for one of your children. Fill out the coupon below: CLIP COUPON HERE Health Editor. Washington Bureau, The Indianapolis Times, 1322 New York Avenue, Washington, D.
