y &mmmwl Fifteen million automobile campers M , > will fill the long, lJong trails from the * Yet, Is Opinion of Chevro | Mlu.mi, to ‘the‘ Pacific coast this Andrew W. Melion, the somewhat lonely Secretary. of the Treasury, plans to go yatching this summer to "the places he has read about" in the Mediterranean, and at the same time "get acquainted again" with the son and daughter whom he sees only inâ€" frequently through the year. â€" Mr. Mellon, reputed to be one of the richest men who ever sat in a President‘s Cabinet, occupes an 18â€" room suite in one of the finest apartâ€" ment houses in Washington, and lives there throughout the year â€"alone. Mr. Mellon‘s daughter, Ailsa, married David K. Este Bruce, son of William C. Bruce (D), Senator from Maryâ€" WILL TAKE YACHT VOYAGE To Be Accompanied by Son and Daughter; Plans to See at Yale Starts This Month § Accordingly, Mr. Mellon plans to take a familyâ€"sized yacht in July, at Gibraltar, and cruise at random for the next two months, reports the Christian Science Monitor. Perhaps he will visit the Isles of Greece; perâ€" haps he will drift along the Darmaâ€" tian coast. His daughter and sonâ€" inâ€"law and his son, Paul, with perâ€" haps some of the latter‘s college friends, will accompany him. For the son and daughter it may mean a joyâ€" ous lark, but for Mr. Melion it will mean something deeper. Foreign governments will no doubt greet the Pittsburgh banker voyagâ€" ing to the land of classic history with honors befitting the Secretary of the Treasury of the world‘s richest counâ€" try. But it is notsthe Secretary of the Treasury who is making the jourâ€" ney. It will really be only an Amerâ€" ican father trying hard to "keep acâ€" quainted" with 2 { newly married daughter and a son who has left home and gone to college. Complex Character Mr. Mellon‘s character is one of the most complex of the men who sit‘ in the Cooligge Cabinet. He had had no experience in public life before; coming to Washington. I tis doubtâ€" ful if he ever made a speech. It was his job in the great bank that repreâ€" sents the Mellon family fortunes in Pennsylvania to sit in a retired room, so it is said, and meet selected busiâ€" mess associates for the quiet chats that mean millions of dollars in oil, aluminum and other properties in which his great fortune is extended. Mr. Mellon‘s brother was the man who met the public and held the cenâ€" ter of the stage. Quiet, shy, with the face of a conâ€" noisseur, a lover of art, Mr. Mellon came suddenly to Washington and a new world. â€" His ability as a financier is unquestioned. But in the capital and among the Coolidge Cabinet he is recognized as a lonely man. He lives in his apartment and collects objects d‘artâ€"by himself. , ‘ Eager for Vacation _ â€" From Yale his son Paul writes him boyish letters. The other day, it is reported, the Secretary of the Treasâ€" ury, who has just set in motion zi-: gantic refunding movements involyâ€"| ing federal war bonds, got a letter| from his son demanding information concerning a certain $50 Liberty Bond that had been a personal purâ€" chase in war time. Paul wanted to cash in on that bond and where betâ€" ter could he get the information about it than from "dad." plans to take the Leviathan and prob~ ably return in the middle of Septemâ€" ber. Politics, finance, the Pittsburgh bank will be forgotten. Mr. Mellon is looking forward to vacation with as a ‘family as a potential purchaser seams more in hope than in expectaâ€" tion. For:one of the greatest family still is whether to have & lemein A ronleptitat romibad m tiin In that vision there is no apparent recogmition of a saturation point. Or it may be that a forward look now goes beyond mere saturation to a sort of supersaturation.

He h antici SEES EXTENSION OF SEES 15 MILLIONS AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY OF MOTOR TOURISTS Warm comfort for the automobile industry, radiates from R. H. Grant, viceâ€"president of the Chevrolet Moâ€" tor Car company. To his way of thinking, says Nation‘s Business Magazine, expansion of the industry will be accomplished through the use of more cars per family. Moreover, the idea of a man taking the transâ€" portation away from his family, just to get to his work and back, will be oldâ€"fashionedâ€""the modern family will have to be served with enough transportation so that all members can get more out of life."

Utility Company to Reduce Its Rates to About 300 Towns company will reduce its lighting rates in approximately 300 towns in Hliâ€" nois the first of August. ‘The lilinois Commerce Commission nouncement regarding the new rates of the company: _ e has conducted intensive studies of forms of rate schedules for supplyâ€" ing lighting service to residence and commercial customers. It has been convinced from this study that the different types of schedules have a very important effect on the ability of the customer to use electric servâ€" ice freely and at reasonable cost. "The commission has been recentâ€" ly conferring on this matter with the Central lllinois Public Service comâ€" pany and as a result of these conâ€" ferences the company has agreed to try out in this territory a new type of lighting rates for residence servâ€" ice, known as the maximum demand "In addition to the company agreeâ€" ing to try out this form of rate, it also agrees to reduce its maximum rate for the first step from 13 to 12 cents, and in order to encourage & greater use of electricity the comâ€" pany also agrees to add a third step of 5 cents per kilowattâ€"hour which will make a lower net rate available than could be obtained under the present rates. â€" "The company also agreed to reâ€" duce its maximum rate for commerâ€" cial lighting from 13 to 12 cents. The new rates were filed by the company on July 1, and will become effective August 1, for consumption after that date. BAPTIST MINISTER EXPLORES BAD LANDS Edward Dunklin, an itinerant Bapâ€" tist minister, after a six year battle, has succeeded in taming the last of the American "bad lands," the Everâ€" glades of Florida. Succeeds In Penetrating Florâ€" ida Everglades In Misâ€" Courage: was the only equipment Dunklin had when, like the "fighting parsons" in Western frontier days, he waded through snake and alligaâ€" tor infested swamps intent upon conâ€" verting a district controlled by desâ€" peradoes fully as dangerous as the Jesse James crowd in its heyday, deâ€" spite the fact it was but a short ride from the haunts of fashion and wealth in the booming state. Dunklin‘s first appearance in the district was greeted with a shower of stones and refusals of food or shelter. At his first meeting, when bullets were dropped into the collecâ€" tion box as a threat.and warning to get out, he defied the crowd, declarâ€" ing that be could only die once and was not afraid to do so. Months later the first sign of friendliness toward him was a collection which contained two ears of corn, two pawâ€" paws, three pumpkins, six bananas and twentyâ€"four limes. This confiâ€" dence progressed until three of the worst _ desperadoes . surreptitiously gave him a dollar and three more a Not only did the missionary win the confidence of the desperadoes, the American Magazine says in recountâ€" ing his work, but he won over the powerful woman leader known as the "Queen of the Everglades," to his missionary work. ‘ Now, at the completion of six years of work, the outlaws have beâ€" come real friends of Dunklin and have built him a little house on Lake demands of the tourists with ingenâ€" fous devices providing the nearest ap~ proach to home comforts, and towns and cities have so improved the rest camps in their outskirts that the 15,â€" 000,000 wanderers will be able to reâ€" alize only by the intervening scenery that they have left their own domiâ€" Okeechobee where his meetings flourâ€" ish. Moreover, the country has beâ€" summer, according to estimates comâ€" piled for the Woman‘s Home Comâ€" panion, from cities bordering the best known transâ€"continental route#. _ Anticipsting this peak in the Yorm of summer outings, which has grown like a speeding avalanche in the past few years, automobile and sporting ships of sleeping in tents will be able to travel over the northern trail Northwest, down the coast to the southwest and back &gain, without being deprived of the sheiter of a roof for one night.
