VACATIONISTS SWARM 70 LAKE RESORTS AND TRAVEL IS INCREASING Despite Higher Rates This Year| Resorts and Boat Trips Are Popular (By United Press) Cleveland, Ohio, July. 12—'Travel on the great lakes this summer is ssurpassing -all previous records. Doz- ens of steamers, jammed to the gun- wales with tourists, ply their way up and down and across the lakes to scores of islands, beaches and sum- mer resorts, most of them already aswarm with cottagers and those on vacation bent. By the -end of the rather brief lake travel seasonm, close to 500,000 i persons will have answered to the | lure of the lake, according to H. A. 5 Semler, manager of the AKers, Folk- i men, Lawrence company, water ; travel agents here. His figures are based on the number of lake steam- ers available, their capacity and the reservations made. Semler reported a ceasless stream of men, women and children flowing in on the offices of all lake naviga- tion companies. They come from all parts of the country and from many parts of the world. The confirmed globe-trotter, he reports, has turned from European travel to exploring the many summer resorts' dotting and bordering the lakes. Persons who heretofore spent their moments of leisure and recreation in the mountains or at the seashore, are clamoring at the various lake ports for steamer accommodattons. Special lake trips are widely pop- ular. Trips of from one to two weeks in length are attracting the greatest number. The cost of travel has gone up about 25 per cent over last year. A week’s trip can be made at a trifle. over an average of 7 $10 per day per person. s Several companies offer a week’s b The silo has become an essen- tial thing on practically every American farm.

Their boats touch at a dozen ports, with brief stopovers at points notable for their historical or recre- ational attractions. Ome line offers a trip 1,000 miles in length, with stops at the principal Canadian cities on the lakes. An- other specializes in trips of 1,600 miles. . Semler attributes the present great popularity of the lakes to the in- creased earnings of the average per- son, the over-crowding of ocean lin- ers, deferred vacations, a natural swing from land to.lake resorts and the attractiveness, 'comforts and reasonable cost of lake tours.

Continuing; the gentleman said: “I-can con- ceive how the cost of a manufactured article might increase as much as 50 to 100 percent because of the increased cost of raw materials, labor, etc.; but it has always seemed to me that the price of a product taken from the ground at a comparatively low cost should not be affected to any marked degree.” This constitutes a fair question, and we are glad of an opportunity to answer it frankly. Gasoline is refined from crude petroleum by a lengthy and expensive process, and is, in the truest sense, a man- ufactuted -article. Time, labor, and heavy investments enter into the manufacture of gasoline from the crude, and each of these necessarily affect the price. “WHAT are the reasons for th:d advance The cost of crude is a dominant factor in fixing the price of gasoline. 2 The extraordinary demand for petroleum products, plus the abnormal increases in the cost of labor, machinery, and money necessary for drilling and equipping oil wells, have combined to force upwards the price of crude oil £. 0. b.
