CHICAGO. June 13. (AP) The
lake atales. having planled about
a billion mora fish In tarn and
brook, set out millions of - new
trees, and started an expenditure
of twenty, to thlrty-rivo millions
each on ruuds for tho summer,
havo put the hitch string out tor
this summer's hegira of tourists.
In contrast with the Bouthern
winter tourist developments, the
northern summer pluygrounda
make little efrort to sell their vis
itors anything other than scenery
and recreation, hut the tourist as
sociation of Michigan estimates Its
annual business at 1200,000.000.
Minnesota figures Its 1926 tourist
number at 50,000 while Michigan
and Wisconsin will far exceed that
figure.
Playground ltmini lft.
. The daya of the tourist roaming
this northern wilderness nre num
bered, though, says Dr. Raphael
Zoii, - director or the I,ake States
forest station. Ho estimates that
about seventy per cent of tho lake
frontage of Wisconsin and Michi
gan already Is In private hands. On
line other hand. Uoraajns. Croeker,
;a. Michigan forester, points to the
j tax delinquent sales of seven nill-
lion acres In Michigan and 2.0O0,
000 acres In Wisconsin to hIiow
that there Is plenty of playground
room left,, '
. Uri' .on thinks tho northern
lake states forcHts eventually will
become a rich nuin's paradise sim
ilar to the Adirondack! in New
York.
The state fire chief or Minnesota
reported recently that on a timber
luKpeetlon trip moose and deer
were so thick that they wero a
nuisance. 'Michigan is. Iransplnnt

Moonshiners Driven Out. ,
Iowa placed 200.1)00 wall eyed
pike in the lake behind the Keokuk
dam In the Mississippi Klver, and
Illinois and Indiana each planted
millions of fish fry in '.their best
fishing waters. The forest rangers
of Minnesota have , cleaned out
ono typo of those ptunnlng to wel
come the tourists. They discov
ered that- many applicants for tim
ber leases were merely moonshiners
and have destroyed several stills.
Ono resort section, tbe Black
Hills or South Dakota, has, taken

Indiana is well along toward Its

With 20 million automobiles In
use on January 1 this year, It
would seem that nearly everyone In
America had a car but from' the
sales reports by various automo
bile' factories, It seems that the
total Is ever swelling.
Among the reports Issued recent
ly are Jhc following: ,' ' . : '
The practice of - keeping the 'car
In gear nnd using the engine to
keep the cur from coasting back
ward when halted in : truffle on
upgrade is particularly trying - on
the clulch which, in slipping, has

Wise drivers avoid the annoyanco
of u long wait on a hill with brake';
