The Tourist Bureau of the National Park Service, recently established in New York City to co-ordinate Federal and State efforts in public education concerning scenic, health, historical, and recreational opportunities of their respective areas, will also furnish, upon request, similar information re- lating to the Territories of Alaska and Hawall, Puerto Rico, anq the Virgin Islands. These outlying of the United States offer many fascinating inducements to the American tourist. Alaska is still the American frontier. There may be seen the pioneer life which vanished from the continent wore than & generation ago. In Alaska nature still displays its original abundance and unspoiled beauty; and the people are self-reliant, neighborly, houspitsible.

Now it contains some of Alaska’s most inter- | esting totem poles. Stopover at Mount McKinley. The Alaska Rallroad and the Rich- | ardson highway go on to Fairbanks, [ less than 2 degrees south of the Arctic | Circle. Visitors traveling north on | the milroad may stop over at Mount | McKinley National Park while those ! using the highway can take the train | south from Fairbanks. In the park mighty Mount McKinley, monarch of the North American continent, reaches an altitude of 20,300 feet. The park is famous for its herds of caribou, moose, and mountain sheep, and many of these animals may be observed en route from highway or railroad. Three other national monuments— Glacier Bay, with spectacular tide- water glaciers; Katmal, recently active valeano, with its Valley of Ten Thou- sand Smokes, and Old Kasaan, an old abandoned Indian village—are not 80 easily accessible, although the enormous glaciers of Glacier Bay are visible from steamers passing through Fascinating as is the scenery of Alaska, its human interest is equally absorbing—for it is the land of Indian and Esquimo of Russian colonixation and of sourdoughs of the days of '98. Tropical Hawaii Different. No greater contrast could be found than between Alaska of the frozen North and the tropical Hawatian Islands, both reached from the Pacfic Coast. Hawalii, the Paradise of the Pacific, is unlike any other spot on earth. It s known as the “melting pot” of the the Icy Straits to the Gulf of Alaska. | T HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

CCUSED of gouging in the pelmy days when Americans ‘were—to use the vernacular— fiithy with money, Europe saved its popularity and even in- creased it by thinking up travel bar- gains and selling them to a widening circle of moderate-income Americans. Competition between the various countries became so keen that, cou- pled with depreciated currencies, go- ing abroad not only remained in fashion but became almost thrifty. A leader in the fight for tourist trade, Italy struck boldly at one of the evils thdat led returning Ameri- cans to denounce the sharp practice of skyrocketing prices while guests stood crowded at the door. Under Mussolini, hotel rates were fixed for months ahead. The traveler could figure his budget with more assur- ance. Democratic France is trying now by law to eliminate the policy of “let your conscience be your guide” in hotel and restaurant charges. Seeing America at Approximately a Cent a Mile, With Extended Stop-Overs, Possible on Trip to Western Wonderlands. the American traveler the benefit of reduced railroad rates not granted to its own citizens. New concessions now are being announced by Eu- rope, just when trans-Atlantic lines are ready to raise their fares to peak- season prices. Italy, for instance, is offering a new 50 per cent rail reduction on border-to-border points and, with a curtsy to Cupid, grants honeymooners a 70 per cent rail fare discount, with the stipulation that Rome be included. Within limits, Italy, France and Swit- BESORTS. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. c, zerland, to name a few of the rivals, grant the American traveler lower prices on gasoline than usually pre- vail for the natives, encouraging ship- ment and travel in one’s own car while abroad. Germany this week puts into force a 60 per cent rail re- duction; France uses the exposition at Paris as its talking point of lower fares. Switzerland makes hotel con- cessions and operates a novel rail travel attraction. As a rule, these con- cessions must be purchased in the United States before sailing. MAY 9, UT what of America, where hotels and restaurants charge without fear of law and rail fares are more or less an old story, with the news of the I.C. C.’s 2-cents-a-mile order last Sur.. mer's surprise. Hotel and restaurant prices at favorite resorts this Summer may be higher than last (it would be odd if they were not), but American vacation Meccas have learned the stigma attached to whatever could be classed as gouging and are likely to base their increases on actual cost raises. As for rail rates, the low cost of travel is comparatively old, but at the same time not generally known. For it is possible to journey through the magic scenery of the West at a cost only slightly above a cent a mile. The I. C. C’s 1936 order dramatized & reduced price for American travel. Actually, the rate had existed in cer- tain types of recreational travel long before. The only area the order opened up to lower prices was New England, where railroads had declined to make extensive concessions to the travelers. For other sections, the 2-cents-a-mile rate was at the tinr being equalea or bettered in new air-conditioned, reclin- |~ ing chair cars—the modern version of the old coach, the cheapest form of travel On May 15, next Saturday, new low rates go into effect to America's West- ern wonderland. However, fares will be but slightly under the Winter tour- ist rate that has prevailed for travel to California. The chief concession will be extension of the 30-day return limit. Under the new Sumer schedule, tickets will be good for return as late as October 31. Lines operating out of Washington and all major Western roads, are co-operating, OW nearly the “coach” traveler rides at a cent a mile is 8 mat- ter of choice in itinerary. Buying a round-trip ticket to San Francisco, he may journey directly there and directly back. Or, adding mileage and variety to his trip, he may mean- der over much of the United States, even into the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver, provided he does not double back and forth. Many of America’s spectacular national parks, including Canada's Jasper, may be reached by a carefully mapped itin- erary. The maximum journey circles the United States, except that on leaving Washington one must be headed into the West. With October 31 as a dead- line, the traveler sive stops and added-fare side trips ! before returning home. Without the RESORTS. ATLANTIC CITY, N.

A rare travel bargain is the *general abonnement” ticket, good for 8, 15 or 30 days at graduated charges, that is the equivalent of a pass on Washington’s street cars. Use of the ticket is unlimited. One may ride over all the principal rail lines and lakes of the country, retracing his steps as often as he pleases.

Its plant life, too, is different. though trees, flowers, and shrubs have been imported from all parts of the world and thrive in the hospitable | Hawalian climate, the native flora survives. There are forests of tree- ferns; the rare silver sword plant; the ethereal cereus, blooming only at night; royal palms; colorful hibiscus; huge banyans, monkey-pods, and royal poincianas. Temperatures Moderate. The temperature of Honolulu rarely climbs over 85 degrees and seldom de- scends below 65 degrees, while the water at Waikiki Beach maintains & year-round average of 75 degrees. But changes of climate may Le easily secured in the islands, for the tem- perature drops about four degrees for every thousand feet of elevation, and on the islands of Maui and Hawaii one may ascend to heights of from 10,000 to 14,000 feet. The Kilauea and Mauna Loa Volcanoes on the island of Hawaii, and old extinct Haleakala on Maui—in whose tre- mendous crater grows the silver sword plant—are included in the Hawaii National Park. One of the interesting trips to be made in Hawaii is by airplane from Honolulu, on the island of Osahu, to the national park and back, in the interval between breakfast and dinner, if no more time can be spared for a visit to the volcanoes. Puerto Rico Picturesque. Within reach of our Atlantic Coast are Puerto Rico and the Virgin 1slands. Puerto Rico, outermost of the Greater Antilles, is the cradle of Spanish civilization in the Americas. There Ponce de Leon and his soldiery paused to build the greatest fortifications in the New World. Especially picturesque are the battlements and bastions of El Morro, San Cristobal, and San Geronimo, surrounding ancient San Juan—a city of pastel tinted houses.
