THE TUVFS

EUROPEAN TOUR NOT FOR RICH ALONE NOW French Urged to Make Bid for Business with Hotels of Lower Rates.

Monrlar. Sent. 18. 1922.

. BT HERBERT M. DAVIDSON tSjAFDTS0RJ!tESf,0NDENT ' SERVICE! ARIS. Sept. 17. Xhl i:a beon the year of the mall mean American tourist. Heretofore a "trip to Europe" has been a luxury confined to the wealthy and the nearly wealthy. It has been an extravagance, at any rate, for which the entire family saved their pennies toe years beforehand. ' Heretofore, from another point of view, Europeans have been used to eelng; only a pampered class or Americans Americans who demand everything of "de luxe" quality. Americans who never so much as count their change, much less ask prices in advance. 'EW ERA IX TOITRIXO That this season has marked the setting In of a new sra In European touring Is the belief of M. Junot president of the "Consortion des Aaences de Voyage," In an Interview, i "Tourists this year are very .numerous, but they are not of the richest classes, said M. Junot. "The. appear to be for the most part classes who are not accustomed t. cross the Atlantic or the English Channel." ; Among the reasons for the change M. Junot cites the fact that the war pot only has given fclk a taste for travel, but that many former members of the American and British expeditionary forces brought over their families and friends to show Uiem settings wherein they suffered or performed heroic deeds. He points out also that the taste for economy has been lost somewhere In the shuffle of present day economic disturbance. Persons of moderate means no longer ca-e what they spend, or whether the future Is provided for. ."France should profit by this new order of things," urges M. Junot, "to throw off not only its exceptional monuments of the past, but also Its durable pleasures, which make It so pleasant a place tcrylslt. It shoi;ld not cater entirely-to the tourist who comes In a motor car, b-it it should regard the excursionist who arrives by bicycle. It has enougn palaces; it should emphasize now its modest, comfortable and el'san hotels of a 'lass beneath." WOIXD SIMPLIFY FARES J The tour'.ng expert advises a!?o Simplification of railroad regulations, so that foreigne-s may understand exactly for what accommodations they pay when they buy a ticket and in this regard he takes a special dig at the sleeping car companies and he advocates abolition of vises on passports. M. Junot complains bitterly that because of the difference in erchange rates most tourists do not stay long enough In France to appreciate the beauties of the country, but use Paris only as a stop-ping-off place on tha way to Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and otfcer low erchange nations.

Gets Permit to Build , ' Old-Style Log House t INTER NATIONAL NEWS 5ERVICE1 CINCINNATI. O., Sept. Cincinnati's building commissioner opened his eyes and whistled - the other morning when he received a request for a building permit from H. C. Steward, of Fernbank, calling for the erection of a log cabin. The applicant explained to the astounded commissioner that the hcuse was not to be a camp or a. lodge, but a residence for himself and his family... "These new-fangled houses are the Ibunk," he said. 'There's nothing in the world equal to a good log house and I know this one will be first class, because I'm going to cut and hew the logs myself."
