And Caverns Expect Visitors as Usual.

Tre effect of the war on travel in the United States is not yet apparent, but travel men believe that increased earning power will counteract stepped-up working hours.

However, the bottlenecks in transportation are rapidly being ironed out. All roads soon will be open to the nation’s resorts.
