C., AUGUST 1, The Traveler’s Notebook Tourists in France Find New Coins in Use—A Hasty Sketch of the Ordinary Money Travelers Use. BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, JR. O THOSE hasty Americans who hit the high spots of Europe on quickie tours, coming back to the United States to catch their breath and proudly announce that they have done Europe, foreign currencies are likely to remain for- ever a mystery. Intense itineraries hardly leave time to give the roller- coaster tourist a speaking acquaint- ance with the variety of coins, which usually change radically every time one crosses a border. Traveling back and forth or in circles, one may stay in France long enough to learn more than just the fact that the centime is not worth a dime. But travel in a straight line would land one in an- other country in no time at all France, for instance, is not quite as large as Texas, and England is only 850 from Land's End to John O’'Groats. So new coins come quickly. Touristé visiting France again for the first time within a year are find- ing & new and curious group of cons being handed them in change. They are the jetons, which look like an alloy of bronze and aluminum; in fact, they are just that. and have in | the last few months driven gold and silver coins out of reach of the trav- eler. But the jetons buy such com- forts and services as their limited value allow, so it really doesn't mat- | ter what form a currency takes as| long as it does not become eggs or | pie a la mode. a bargain rate to travelers. Bafore this clever device was instituted, lire ranged about 100 for $5.30. The present rate to tourists is $4.75 per 100. SOMEWHAT similar system has been devised for travel in Ger- many, where the mark is the most use- ful coin. The reichmark is valued at about 42 cents. Registered travel marks, which must be bought before one enters the country, are sold for 28 cents. These gray paper travel marks are somewhat larger than the travelers checks Americans know. They are printed in German and Eng- lish, and are countersigned by -the traveler as he cashes them. The pfennig—100 to the mark—is another coin the traveler might see. ¥ ENGLAND, the shilling, a silver piece worth about 25 cents and not unlike the American quarter, is the most useful coin around which to figure in shopping and daily travels. The silver 6 pence, worth 12', cents, is| about the size of the dime. Lower | coins are easily distinguished, the | penny (about 2 cents) being of copper, | about the size of the half doliar, and the ha'penny. also copper, being about | like the dime. Occasionally, a small | silver coin turns up, and very likely it is the 3-penny bit, worth 6 cents.| The silver coin about the size of the | half dollar is the half crown, worth 6212 cents. Smallest of the paper money is the | 10-shilling note, marked thus: 10, -. | It is brown and about 4 by 3 inches Looking not unlike a bank draft is the pound. equal to about $5, white and printed in black ink with fancy scrolls, | It is about 6 by 5 inches For a practical application of English | coinage, take the price tag which reads 37 6.

Couseway Approach to Noted Shrine to Be Severed. MONT ST. MICHEL, July 31 — The much-discussed dyke which joins Mont St. Michel with the main- land is to be cut for a distance of 1700 feet and this historic bit of French territory will become an island again, as it was originally. Work on this project, costing 16,- 000,000 francs, will be started early in 1938, and when the festival of St. Michel is celebrated in September next year, it is believed that Mont St. Michel will have reverted defi- nitely to its island status. At present tourists and pilgrims can approach the famous fortress monastery in mo- tor cars and autobuses, on foot or bicycles; next year the services of a boat or a ferry of some kind will be necessary. For, when the dyke has been cut, Mont St. Michel will definitely separated from the main- land The decision by the ministry of pub- | lic works brings to an end a lengthy and at times spirited dispute regard- ng the dyke. It has been praised as a convenience and a necessity, it has been attacked as a danger to the mount and stigmatized as inartistic | and unesthetic. Practical folk de- sired the dyke to remain; the artists argued for its disappearance; the ministry has sided with the artists. The “Friends of Mont St. Michel” are not convinced and they are en deavoring to have the ministerial de cree canceled. QUIET VILLAGE HISTORIC Schwenksville, Pa.,, Has Modern Resort Hotel, However.

Modern Pastimes In Japan Displace Insect Musicians YOKOHAMA, July 31.—The traditional Japanese pastime of listening to the songs of insects is threatened with extinction. Films, the radio, jazz, cafes and sports provide the entertainment of modern Japan. For years re- garded as a soothing comfort, the song of night-singing insects, captive in delicate bamboo cages, are no longer appreciated. Insect dealers are losing busi- ness. One known dealer still handles many bell insects. Dur- ing the Spring and Summer months as many as 100,000 in- sects are sold. A variety of grass- hoppers is another popular in- sect pet. May and June are the busiest months of the year, with the sweet-voiced frogs added to the sales list. Tudor Mansion to Be Opened. LONDON, August 1 —Hatfield House. the celebrated Tudor mansion, 18 miles from London, will be open to the public on August bank holiday— August 2—and in the grounds an Elizabethan pageant and Charles Dickens Fair are to be held.

Wyo., July 31.—More than 500 varieties of fiowe ering plants, all blossoming at the Present time in Yellowstone National Park, are staging one of the most colorful shows available to American travelers. The brilliantly-hued flowers are blooming in much greater numbers than for some time past. Particularly spectacular are the flaming red and pink fireweed and the vivid blue pentstemon, found in all parts of the more than 2,000,000-acre park. Mo~ torists along the Dunraven Pass road report seeing an abundance of red monkey flowers, harebells and bright blue polemonium.

OTTAWA, July 31.—In Canada's | 20 national parks are more than 12,500 | square miles of playgrounds which | offer exceptional opportunities for recreation and rest and attract thou- sands of tourists every year. Set aside by the Canadian govern- ment, these parks have all the am- enities and comforts of civilization, but most of the time one is within half an hour’s walk of Nature which is as wild, solitary and beautiful as it was centuries ago. There are 14 scenie and recreational parks and four animal parks. ’ | length | was at The Highland Games provide the one occasion of the year when it is fashionable for trousers to be dis- carded and kilties worn instead. In a score of towns and villages, | from the Cowal country to Inverness, kilted muscles compete in hammer- throwing, stone-putting. wrestling, leaping and caber-tossing. Tossing the caber is the supreme event in the eyes of visitors from overseas, for this herculean effort cannot be seen any- where else in the world The feat demands caber is nothing more or less than a pointed fir tree trunk. weighing 280 pounds and measuring 16 feet in The object of the tosser is to heave it so that the end aloft describes a half circle and strikes the ground first While these Gaelic Olympics are being held on moorland and parks purple with heather, the bagpipes mass their music so that airs martial and sentimental stir the souls of the thousands of spectators. The majority of the Highland Games come during the vacation month of August, although some are held as early as July and others in mid-Sep- tember. On August 28 come the famous Cowal Games at Dunoon. the one place in Scotland that travelers may see over a thousand brawny men march past with kilts a’swinging and pipes a'skirling till the echoes ring that “the Campbells are coming!” The greatest gathering of all is the Royal Games at Braemar, Sep- tember 9, in Princess Royal Park at Balmoral Castle, the King's Scottish residence. Only at Braemar may one see the march of the clans. The King's own clan, the royal Stuarts, are fol- lowed b fe Highlanders, the Farquaharsons and others, each in tartan with bonnets topped with the thistle, oak and pine.

Visitors from abroad can also avail themselves of these facilities. A special boon of the system in force in Germany is that the customer does not have to return the vehicles to the point where they were hired.
