U. s. TOURISTS
RETURN FROM
EUROPE BROKE

While travel on the Atlantic has
swung westward and hundreds of

tourists pour into New York daily
on incoming liners. stewards aboard
the ships assert that. there is a bear
market in tips. "They are coming
home broke after doing Europe." is
the plalnt of the men on the ships
blrnging Americans back from Great
Britain and Europe.

When ship news reporters board-
ed the White Star liner Majestic at
Quarantine yesterday morning they
were greeted by several stewards
who told them there were. plenty of
passengers but "no news and nearly
everybody is broke."

"Too many benefits." said one.
who added that .a contribution tak-
ing during the passage for the ship's
band and two more for marine
charities. had “cut in on his share.”

He declared there were plenty of
well to do Americans abroad and a
lot of near millionaires. but they
did not allow enough generosity to
make up for the deficiencies of their
fellow passengers. who manifested
the usual signs of an expensive trip
on the other side.

Passengers traveling on ocean
liners. especially the first class ships.
declared the stewards are usually
generous. A steward ulll average
about seven pounds each way.
Walter H. Thompson. publicity
director of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad. one.of~the 1.753 passeng-
ers returning on the Majestic. said
French newspapers estimated Am-
ericans expenditures in‘ France at.
35.000.000 a day.

Another passenger said that pies.
aurc seeking Americans driven
abroad by prohibitionare liberal and
at the fashionable resorts such as
Desuvllle. they are the real spend-
ers. Men and women gamble in
France who never think of doing it.

are coming back with augmented

dollars on the latest French designs.

Best Works of

Placing of the best works of West‘
ern artists of the highest ability in
the homes of art lovers. instead of
letting them remain in their original
environment of the studio. has been
made possible in Chicago through
the creation of the Chicago Galler-
lee- Association and its novel plan
for distribution of the artists' work.
Curtis E. Camp. an attorney of Chi.
rago, is president. The association
is l0 be conducted as s. non-pron!
0119. \

The association is a combination
of artists and 150 lay members and
the plan of distribution provides for
the selection of 150 of the best
paintings shown in the galleries over
a period of three years. or twentp
five to be selected at each spring
and fall exhibition to be presented
to each of the 150 lay members.

These paintings will be selected by
the. laymen. each of whom is requir.
ed to pay into the association as
membership dues 8200 a year for a
threeeyear period. This assures the
layman. however. of obtaining one
of the best pictures shown for 8600.
The selection of lay members to
choose pictures will be made by lot.
but all will be assisted by s commit.
tee composed of three art experts or
connoisseurs to help them select the
best. although they are permitted to
choose any picture they desire with-
