TunniriG the GIRL SCOUTS TO LEAVE FOR CAMP TOURIST SEASON With the peak of the tourist season just a week or so away, A. B. Wickwire, local agent of the American Express Company, makes the prediction that the number of American tourists and the amount of money they will spend in 1928 will far exceed the record of 1927, when the number who went to Europe was 382,149, who spent approximately on the 'other side." The tourist business has seen so many radical changes in the last decade that Wickwire savs neoole ten years ago would have regarded av 5tuao CAaggci avivu xvi one to say that in 1928 the travelers to Europe would number into the hundreds of thousands and that the voyagers would include boys, girls, stenographers, bookkeepers, teachers, salesmen, moth ers with children and delegates to international conventions. Wickwire thinks the present tendency is to make long trips, Hn6t to go some place but to get away from some mace." and he de clared that where tourists traveled unguided, and took their chances ten years and more ago, they are going today in groups, accompanied by guides who lend advice on shopping, medical or legal needs, money exchange and other traveling details. To figure out the number of persons who made trips in country in 1927, Wickwire said it is only necessary to multiply the number that went to Europe by five.

THE HOME OF MODERN POWER The Edgar i i A Guest Poems Are well worth reading on the Editorial Page of i i THE PATRIOT every morning I ADIO fans last night heard 1H tie of the regular programs prepared for them by the broaa casting stations. -All ears were turned toward Houston, Texas, where the Democratic party roared enthusiastically through another evening session that was filled with heat and intensity. The from the convention was far different from the usual run of programs, and those who listened in on the proceedings attending the making of a President were given a novel treat Interrupted only by local noises, the fans in this city heard Chairman Robinson rap for order, lis tened to the nominating speech of Franklin Roosevelt and absorbed the tumult and noise of the cheering and parading delegates.

Radio fans appear to be receiving special consideration from the Democratic leaders in the convention proceedings, and the night sessions are designed particularly for the benefit of the many evening listeners, who would be kept away-f 3 1L I irom meir macmnes uuring uie day. Whatever work the convention may do today, it is almost certain that fans will have another evening's entertainment tonight. Balloting should begin today and may continue this evening. The actual nomination may also be accomplished during the night, and the proceedings, no doubt, will be unusually interesting to the average fan.

composer and pianist formerly with the Bethesda Mission, Second and Chestnut streets, a month ago, a physical and mental wreck, today was believed safe at his home after being cared for here. The doctor, who was about 40 years old, told workers at the mission that he was the son of a Presbyterian minister and that his sister was a missionary in China. Two years ago he started drinking, he said. He gave up his practice and in a short time had spent a fortune drifting around the East. Eventually he came to Harrisburg and obtained lodging at the Bethesda Mission.

He attended religious meetings at the mission and became converted. He resolved to return to his home and start life again and, as far as mission workers know, has done so. The doctor was one of twenty-nine persons converted at the religious meetings held. at. the mission this month.

Men from all parts of the country attend, and many are persuaded to return to their homes. Jobs are obtained for others, thirty-six having been placed this month.
