STATE DRIVE URGED TO GET TOURIST TRADE Advertising of Shrines and Scenic Beauty Stressed by Head of Motorist, Sees it Aiding Prosperity The “tourist trade” in amounts to $3,500,000,000 a year, ac- cording to S. Edward Gable, president of the Pennsylvania Motor Federation who urges that plans be made to at- tract a considerable portion of this trade to Pennsylvania. - “Pennsylvania could get more of the ‘crop’ if concerted action were taken to call’ the attention of the Nation to what this State has to offer,” he said. “Other States, some with consider- ably less in scenic beauties, historic shrines and points of general interest, are capitalizing on the creed of seeing America first. Pennsylvania must take steps to cope with this competition. “Board, lodging, clothing, supplies souvenirs, automobile repairs, gasoline and oil are bought by the traveler and he never asks for credit. The average tourist saves throughout the year to accumulate the bank roll he spends in sightseeing. : “Pennsylvania not only should strive to augment the number of its visitors from afar, but realize the importance of being cordial to the stranger with- in its gates. Far and wide the Keystone State is known for its hospitality, and we should make every effort to live up to that reputation. “Cordiality not only makes the trip America | Two eclipses, & the sun and a partial eclipse of the | moon, will be visible in the United States during April.

Victoria Thomas, his wife, herself badly burned, leaped from a second story window with an infant in her arms, the baby being the only member of the family to escape unscratched.

The skepticism of some of the Brit- ish astronomers regarding the discovery of the ninth planet,and the suggestion by them that the observers at Flag- staff may have been misled by a va- grant plant, need not be taken aver- seriously for the moment. The announ- cement from the Lowell observatory came after months of study by compe. tent and careful scientists, and the re- port should stand until and unless it is definitely proven erroneous. Nevertheless the remarks of the doubting Thomases in England serve to recall one mistaken announcement of a planetary “discovery” which was made back in 1859 when facilities for making observations were relatively primitive, and which was accepted for quite a long while.
