Mich- igan has more than her share of beauty, both man-made and natural. Everyone knows about the great automobile center in Detroit, the Uni- versity here. and the capital at Lan- sing; but how many know about the other side of Michigan's appeal-that side constructed and maintained by Mother Nature? If you haven't al- ready come, seen, and conquered, then the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the place for you to see the next time you feel the call of the open road. .Machine Invites You Almost before. you're in the U.P. State Highways Offer Scenery, Ease Of Travel By DAN BEHRMAN State and government highways radiating to the remotest corners of the state offer almost unlimited trips to motor tourists in Michigan, ac- cording to Prof. Roger Morrison of the highway engineering department. Professor Morrison, who once plough- ed through gravel and mud as head of the State Highway Engineering Labratory, also called attention to the high quality of roads leading to scenic areas, which receive the bene- fit of half the state's construction funds. U. S. 31 offers an alluring trip to roving motorists. Running through the lake resorts, impressive sand dune areas, and the fruit country, it is a four lane concrete highway up to Benton Harbor. From Benton Har- bor to Petoskey U. S. 31 is the most popular resort road in the entire state, where it offers a picturesque shore drive along Lake Michigan. The Indian settlement of Cross Village lies along this route, which stretches as far as Mackinac. But Prof. Morrison stands by the Upper Peninsula as the most fertile source of scenery and pleasure driv- ing. He names a 54 mile section of U. S. 2, from Escanaba to Menomin- ee, as the "most beautiful road in the state, with towering forests on one side, and green bay on the other." Hiawatha-land, Isle Royal, the rug- ged Keewenaw Peninsula, and Lake Gogebic are among the high spots of Northern Michigan, the nearest thing in this state to the congestion- free western areas. There is also a mass migration to the tidewater areas of Virginia dur- ing the spring, Professor Morrison noted. He recalled a r'ecent trip of his to Old .Point Comfort, where he met "half of Ann Arbor" in a local hotel. Roads in the South have un- dergone an amazing improvement since he was forced to send his wife and year-old baby by train on a trip to Alabama in 1924.

U.S. Pleasure -*Trips From earliest years we have heard of people going abroad for vacations, or "visiting the Islands," or simply "vagabonding it over the Continent," and we have accepted these rituals as American convention. United States citizens used to literally take over European hotels and resorts, and the well-peopled boats that traveled to and from Hawaii were the most de- sired temporary habitats of the er - rant crowd. But war clouds have fogged these two possibilities more or less out of the picture. Europe is extremely dif- ficult to reach, and. of course, un- desirable for a vacation of rest; and the mere fact that so much atten- tion has of late been centered on the Pacific is an ominous warning to cautious individuals to remain with- in the three-mile limit on our west coast. Vagabond Americans will answer the beckonings of the chambers of commerce on this side of both oceans this year more than ever. Thus, instead of the crowd at Paris of Bad- en-Baden, there will be an influx of tourists into Rio de Janeiro or Puerto Rico. And the Scandinavian tours so popular two years ago will be re- placed by guided trips to Alaska. Study of the Peruvian Inca civi- lization might easily replace Roman archaeological surveys in world-wide importance, and the new attention to promotion of the United States will undoubtedly call a great many of our experts in various fields to travel and study within our borders. The Louvre may be empty, and the hills of England may be pock-marked by shells, but there are equivalents in this hemisphere for everything 'over there,' and the Americans will set out to find these this year. Washington, D.C., the battlefields of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, reconstructed Williamsburg will be the highlights of he second of the International Center tours organized for American and foreign students. The group will leave Ann Arbor l and spend the first night of the trip in Pittsburgh. The second leg of the trip will be from Pittsburgh to Harris- burg. the state capital of Pennsyl- vania. From Harrisburg the group will travel through Gettysburg and on to Washington where they will tour} government buildings, visit the White House and Congress in session. An entire day will be devoted to excursions to Mount Vernon. and Alexandria. The next stop on the trip will be Fredricksberg and the tour of the Virginia Piedmount. Richmond, Tappanhanock ,Yorks- town and Charlottesville will be the succeeding points of call on the road. The bus tour will travel the Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah Na- tional Park through Winchester and through the Cumberland Gap. Via Winchester and Uniontown the group will circle through Pittsburg and return to Ann Arbor April 20. At Richmond the group will see the Confederate Museum and the capitol buildings of the Confederacy. Like the first trip, this tour will cost $45 and may be arranged through the Travel Bureau of the Internation- al Center. fin juns' Quit Ohio - Today .it's Place To Go For Sights Injuns used to run rampant in Ohio back in the old days.

And a word of warning. If you travel to New York's hinterlands to visit friends and relatives don't take a car. Even taxi drivers have been known to get lost going through Brooklyn streets and for the stranger it is practically impossible to get around. Find out about subway trans- portation and use It. In Manhattan, which is called "New Yawk" by every resident of the city, is everything which has made the city famous. There are located the docks which. are used by the world's greatest port, there are the tremendous number of clothing fac- tories which have made the city not only the center of the clothing indus- try, but also the style mart of the world, and, above all, there are the places of amusement which make "The Great White Way" an unf or - gettable experience. you begin to see what is in store. Al- most midway between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas is historic Fort Mackinac, frowning upon the Island where British, French and Indians battled almost two centuries ago. The complete absence. of automobiles on the Island makes it an ideal place to spend a few weeks if you're-a fugitive from the hustle and bustle of the city; and swimming, hiking, tennis and all the other summer sports will make a new man of you in no time. Across the straits and north we go -to the mammoth Soo docks and Sault Ste. Marie, the oldest town in the Peninsula. Under military guard now, the locks still make a wonder- ful sight, and the continual parade of ore carriers going through makes the effect even more impressive. Greeley said, "Go West, young man," and west we shall go. A mod- ern highway along the shores of beau- tiful Lake Superior makes it possible for you to gaze spell-bound at an inland "stern and rock-bound coast," until you arrive at Munising and the famous pictured rocks.' South To Manistique Shall we turn south now? A short drive will put us in Manistique, where we can see the crystal clear spring of Kitch-it-i-kippi. Thence westward once more to Es- canaba, in the "Land of Hiawatha." If you're fortunate enough to hit the town in the spring, don't fail to go smelt-fishing, for if you've yearned for the place where fish might be literally "dipped" out in nets, Escan- aba is the place. To the west is Iron Mountain with her new skislide, one of the largest in the world. Reached by peaceful winding roads through beautiful for- ests, the slide is one of the most awesome of man-made sights! Copper Country Calls North once more, and we soon find ourselves driving out onto the Ke- wanaw Peninsula, gazing out over Lake Superior again, walking through the ruins of one of the oldest white settlements in that part of the coun- try-Fort Wilkins-and enjoying to the utmost the incredible beauty of the Brockway Mountain Drive. An excursion boat will put you on Isle Royale in no time, and there is a place whiereature realty holds the upper hand, A newly-Built ioose reserve on the Island adds to the interest for the city-bred tourist. We need go no further; you've probably already decided to spend the rest of your life in one of the spots already visited.
