THE MICHIGAN DAILY I^U FranceLike All Europe, Again Welcomes Tourists From States Louvre, Wine, Song Beckon art Lovers World's Smart Set Makes Tracks To Intellectual, Fashion And Fun Center Travel in France is an experience in living, the kind of luxurious living everyone dreams about, for, it is in France that one finds, in the original form, what has been- adopted by the .smart, sophisticated set in all of Europe and America. French wines, apertifs, champaignes, brandies and liqueurs are the finest in the world, and are found on well-appointed tables in every quarter of the globe. French spas and health resorts are fashionable sea-side resorts that range along France's extensive coast line providing a wide variety of land- scape and climate. Bathing in France is possible practically all the year round. The southern Atlantic coast and Corsica are popular in the spring; the Brittany and Normandy beaches come to life about May; and the French Riviera provides year- round vacation weather. Mountain resorts in the Alps, the Pyrenees and the Jura ranges are very picturesque and especially fine for motoring, climbing and winter sports. Special winter-sports trains bring these re- sorts within a few hours of Paris, making week-end trips to the moun- tains a pleasant diversion. On the cultural and intellectual Land Of Midnight Sun Issues Call To '40 Olympics Buenos Aires Resembles Londo: Tourists Find Ukraine Palaces And Food Fine "When in Ukrania, don't fail to see the palaces at Kiev," advises Zenov- ia Skoratko, '40, the Daily Ukranian authority. "The old Byzantine archi- tecture is a treat for your eyes. It gives you that Oriental feeling." Miss Skoratko points with pride to Ukranian cuisine. The traveller may eat purohi-kapusta, or cabbage and dumplings; and baraboli, Ukran- ian potatoes. Favorite of tourists is the bortsch, known to us as beet soup. side, France is unique for the fact that every period in the history of art it is well represented. Eleventh and twelfth century Romanesque are to be found inthe churches of Provence, Burgundy, Poitou, and Normandy. French art reaches its zenith in the Gothic period, represented by the Notre Dame de Paris, at Chartres and Reims and in the cathedral of Stras- bourg. Fine Empire furniture of the 19th century still adorns the Napo- leonic residences of Fontainebleau and Malmaison. Neo-impressionism and cubism, and new trends in mod- ern architecture have been especially successful in France since the War. The museums of France are among the finest in the world. Paris alone has more than 50, of which the Louvre is the largest, but there are important collections in the museums of Angers and Aix-en-Provence, in Lyons and Strasbourg. Over all France hovers a charm and variety emphasized not only by historical associations, monuments and works of art, but by a steady and determined effort toward pro- gress. City Hall At Stockholm Hostels Facilitate Travel Abroad For Youth -With Little Money Finland Leads SportsWorld1 Scandinavian Countries' Are Travel Centers The Lands of the Vikings-Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland-each sum-, mer call thousands of Americans to its green shores and snow-capeda mountains. This year thousands of sports-lov- ers from every nation will make their way to Finland, which is concentrat- ing her efforts and enthusiasm for the 1940 Olympic games which will be, held in that country. Finns Devoted To Athletics The land of the blue-eyed, fair- haired Finns is not a large country; in terms of population or wealth, but all their life these people have main- tained a patriotic devotion to ath- letics, and probably no other people will ever play host to the Olympics more heartedly. Above the Arctic Circle, in Finnish Lapland, one finds colorful nomads living today much as did their fore- fathers, almost wholly dependent on reindeer herds. This northern outpost of Finland does not describe a true picture of the country, however. The southern half of the nation, jeweled with thousands of blue lakes, has main- tained the pace of civilization of the rest of the world. Because of the long and cold win- ters, the people of Finland love their summer. During July and August their beaches, parks, and sport grounds are crowded. Stop At Arctic Outposts But the country of Finland is only a small part of the interesting spec- tacle that awaits the journeyman in to these Nordic lands. A typical ocean voyage will include stops at distant Arctic outposts: Ice- land, quaintly antique, profuse in green fields and flowers during the summer season; and Hammerfest, actually 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle. At Lyingseidet lives the exotic Lapp colony, a hardy people who follow their half-wild reindeer to the nor- thern tips of Scandinavia as they move in search of grass. Visitors who have taken this ocean trip to Scandanavia say that the ex- perience is something to be treasured forever. Buenos Aires, the largest city in South America, is one hundred rufles up the Rio de la Plata. The city has over two million inhabitants, and although plentifully endowed with the atmosphere of Old Spain, is more the equivalent of London in its phys- ical aspects than of Madrid, whence came early rulers of the country. Buenos Aires is modern, cosmo- politan and beautiful. It has miles of s'ubway reminiscent of the "Metro" of Paris; its streets are well-planned, broad and tree-lined; its cafes tempt- ing and intriguing. Argentina is the home of that par- ticularly vivid, emotional music-the Argentine tango-which has done more to immortalize the gaucho throughout the world than all the re- markable feats of those wild cow- boys of the pampas. While in Beunos Aires the visitor should not fail to ride out along the road to Rosario to see the typical Argentine countryside. In the city you will wish to see Palermo Park, the zoological gardens, fashionable San Isidro race track and, by all means, one of the cattle auctions. READ THE WANT AlD In the evening, Buenos Aires pre sents a fascinating array of enter tainments-cafes. theatres, nigh clubs, women, and opera-all which give the city a distinct touc of Paris.

Detroit, Mich. Cherry 2448 rI THE WIDEST CHOICE OF SHIPS . . ROUTES . . RATES By STAN M. SWINTON Throughout the year an army of youth is on the march-youth eager for travel but hampered by slim pock- etbooks overcoming expenses by spending their nights in youth hostels and their days cycling along Euro- pean roads. In France, Switzerland, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland-in all the lands that the young dream of someday seeing, facilities are avail- able. Usually for five cents-never over 25 in any country-one lives in a hostel that is clean. That one is sure of. Whether it will be a fine new building like that at Selles-sur- Cher in southern -France or a barn that was occupied by Spanish refu- gees until the government moved them nearer to "the Pyrenees as is a hostel near Orleans one cannot be 'sure. But always there is the ad- venture of anticipation. In Geneva there is a hostel that charges three cents a night; in Paris the charge is a dime. But never is the cost high. With a dollar a day budget and a bicycle you can travel from Le Havre to Napoli; from Buda- pest to Cologne. When you tire of cycling train rates are unbelievably cheap and, in France, the bike is transported anywhere in the country for a nickel if you travel with it on a half-rate ticket. Hospitality is every- where. French hostels allow wine and cigarettes; usually, however, they are forbidden. Only in Germany does the hostel seem unpleasant. Regimentation has resulted in standardized rules about going to bed, rising, eating and every- thing else. With the cheap hotels it's usually more pleasant for the youth not to stay in the hostels unless he has an endless capacity for Nazi dog- ma. It's possible to cycle through Italy, of course, and Switzerland too. But mountains loom great when you're pushing the peddles and travel is cheap. For nine dollars you can go from Geneva through the highest Alps and along the longest tunnel in the world to Bologna, then down to Florence, Rome, Naples, back to Rome, up to Venice and then to the German border. Stop-overs are al- lowed whenever you wish and there's no time limit on the billette. .

Instead, you must be satisfied with a leisurely tour through its farming regions, into its great cities and its cultural centers. The usual trip be- gins in Cologne, with its renowned Gothic cathedral. By motoring along the banks of the Rhine intimate con- tact is made with charming little towns, ruined castles and picturesque mountainside vineyards. One should- drive to the famous resort of Baden-Baden and to Frei- burg, thence through the heart of the lovely Black Forest to the Falls of the Rhine, the Lake of Zurich and Lucerne. The trip is then over the rugged Brunig Pass and along the Lake of Brienz to Interlaken at the foot of the Jungfrau in Switzerland. Chief point of interest in Germany is Berlin, a tour of which should in- clude Unter den Linden, Branden- burg Gate, University, Opera, the Palace of the Crown Prince, Cathed- ral, Schloss - Brucke, Lustgarten, Reichstag, Tiergarten, Sieges-Alle. Wilhelmstrasse and old Berlin. Visits former Kaiser with its famous Gobe- lin gallery, and to the Pergamon Mu-1 should be made to the Palace of the seum, world's finest museum of an- tiquities. An afternoon's trip by motorcoach takes one to Potsdam where visits can be made to the Neues Palace and Sans Souci of Frederick the Great. Not to be missed is Dachau, noted cultural and educational centre. A trip up the Rhine will never be forgotten-through a land of song and legend immortalized in the Lorelei. Dresden, capital of Saxony, is the art center of Germany. Tour- ists should not fail to see Heidelberg on the Neckar, its University and the student beer-halls. Karlsbad is one of the world's greatest spas. Try The 'Bad Lands' For the traveler who is looking for real thrills, the "Bad Lands" of South Dakota provides the ideal place. In the old days, these regions were the stomping grounds of the six- shooting rustlers and swashbuckling desperados. Nowadays the Blackfoot Indians will sell you woven baskets and pottery on the spot where the stagecoaches were held up and the occupants massacred.
