Mrs B M Cromack was tn charge
of the program on "Travel in Amer-
ica" when the Learners met Tues-
day at the home of Mrs. Ralph L.
Buell With the advance of travel-
ing facilities It seems that the
American people are always want-
ing to go somewhere. The arrival
of the automobile brought the ne-
cessity for good roads then better
and faster trains. Later airplanes in
competition for long distance travel
brought about the stream line
trains for speed and more speed
seems to be the universal desire
regardless of the alarming increase
of accidents.
Good roads are continually being
extended The All-American High-
way. 15.000 miles long from Alaska
through Canada the United States
Mexico Central America and the re-
publics of Soutl) America to Buenos
Aires road is already half aom-
pleted.
Distance is eliminated by speed.
The comfort of the modern airplane
combined with the saving of time
and the fact that this method of
travel Is independent of highway
conditions make flying the ideal
transportation for business men.
Mrs. Creager gave an Interesting
comparison of a trip by rail from
Brownsville to Mexico City and a
similar trip from Brownsville to
Chicago.
After a general discussion the
Learners adjourned to meet Tues-
day. February 18. at the Woman's
club with Mrs. Fannie D- Putegnat
hostess. Members are requested to
arrive at 3 o clock instead of the
usual hour.
