WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1925 MOTOR CLUB HAS TRAVEL BUREAU Offer Advice to Europe- bound Tourists Good service facilities for a number of American motor cars are available in nearly every country in Europe, ac- cording to the foreign travel division of the Chicago Motor club touring bu- reau. American manufacturers have arranged with foreign distributors to carry stocks of spare parts and to pro- vide efficient service. The touring bu- reau advices motorists to write to the manufacturers of their cars before go- ing abroad, listing the countries they intend to visit and asking for a list of the car distributors in these territories. It is advisable to arrange for passage and cabin several months in advance. The American Automobile association foreign department in New York will give advice on hotels. In foreign countries little allowance is made for carrying free baggage. The baggage charge mounts up rapidly when one has traveled a few hundred miles, so it is advisable to take only essential luggage. There is also the inconvenience encountered at the Douane, or custom house, at the border of each country when the traveler must get out of his car to watch his baggage searched. If a trunk is car- ried to be placed under the bed in the cabin, make sure that it is not more than fourteen inches high, two feet wide and three feet long. The de luxe staterooms, of course, are large enough to accomodate wardrobe trunks, hat boxes etc. It is not necessary now to present an income tax receipt, if you are a cit- izen of the United States. All foreign tourists and those traveling on any- thing other than an American passport, sailing from the port of New York, must appear personally before the agent in charge of the Internal Rev- enue at the Customs House, Bowling Green, New York City. regardless of whatever income tax clearance papers they have received from the Internal Revenue office in the city or town in the United States from which they have come, and receive in exchange a Sailing Clearance Permit. There are two ways to carry funds while traveling, a letter of credit and travelers' checks. Travelers' checks are ready letters of credit for small amounts, issued in $10, $20, $50, $100 and $200 denominations. You put your signature on them once, when the checks are bought, and again as identi- fication, when you cash them. They are accepted all over the world as cur- rency, and can be cashed at banks, ho- tels and large stores. They are con- venient and safe. Banks, tour agenc- ies, and steamship lines issue these con- venient checks. A letter of credit may also be purchased from any of these sources. It is a certificate that you have the amount stated on deposit with the organization which issues the certificate. It may be presented at any bank, or you may make out a draft for the amount you want to draw, payable to yourself. A memorandum of your draft is made on your letter of credit, and the money is handed to you. EMMERSON PRESERVES STATE CONSTITUTION After reposing in a little lead box for more than a hundred years, the original copy of the first constitution of Illinois today made its appearance in a handsomely bound volume pre- served in such a way that it will be as legible 500 years from now as it is today. When Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson began collecting official documents of the state in the Archives division of the state library, which was established under his direction, he found this valuable roll of paper in a poor state of preservation, so brittle that it shattered at the touch of any one who attempted to unroll and read it. Recently it was sent to an eastern firm which makes a specialty of restor- ing and preserving records. It was returned today restored, mounted on heavy paper and bound in Morocco. Over the ancient sheets is a thin gauze, not discernable without the closest in- spection but a perfect protection from injury in handling. The book will now be placed in the vaults of the Archives division, where its preservation for future generations is assured. Similar steps will be taken for the preservation of the Constitution of 1847 and 1862. Until Mr. Emmerson organized the Archives division of the Library no attention had been given to the pre- servation of ancient documents, many of them of the greatest importance in the history of Illinois. The Archives division has been busy for the past four years collecting these documents and restoring them. In the large vaults prepared for their protection in the Centennial building they are being assembled and cataloged.
