IF you have ever traveled, or ever expect to, or are a satisfied 
stay-at-home, you will find the October Travel a magazine 
of compelling interest. It is filled to the brim with fascinating 
articles and pictures on travel in every part of the world. It 
conducts you through the old world and the new, the Occident 
and Orient. It brings you into intimate touch with the life of 
THE 
T RAVEL 
the people. You see the notable and unusual 
things in places near and remote and have the 
keen enjoyment and culture that is the heritage of 
those who travel. A glimpse at a partial con¬ 
tents reveals the breadth of scope and diversity of interest of 
the October number: 
Beneath the Surface in Japan 
There are two ways to see Japan, just as 
there are two ways to see any other coun¬ 
try-one by following the beaten path of 
tourists and the other by striking off in¬ 
dependently and meeting with ingenuity the 
curious situations, sometimes serious, some¬ 
times ludicrous, that are sure to come. The 
latter is the method chosen by the au¬ 
thor of this article and it results in a new 
insight of the wonders of this fascinating 
land. 
Castles of the Rhine 
Among the most picturesque sights in the 
whole world are the old castles dotted along 
the banks of the lower Rhine. It is an 
old-world sort of a journey, in which the 
impressions are from the feudal life of the 
past, rich in historical association. 
Where History Began 
We are too apt to tlmk that the really 
wonderful records of the civilization re¬ 
maining from distant ages is to be found 
only in the old world. Here, right at our 
back door, is Yucatan whose civilization 
was old when Egypt was young. The 
rock-hewn temples, c livings and inscrip¬ 
tions are among the most fascinating sights 
on any continent. 
The Bad Lands of South Dakota 
Much of the literature dealing with the 
West has touched very briefly upon the Bad 
Lands of South Dakota, but it remains for 
the author of this article to show what a 
marvelously desolate waste this curious arid 
region really is. In western South Dakota 
there is an area of some two thousand 
square miles presenting the wonderfully 
weird scenery that has resulted from the 
erosion of ages. An endless variety of but¬ 
tresses and pinnacles stand like sentinels 
against the hleak horizon. There is no 
scenery in the United States so impressive 
as this vast waste of sandy clays and soft 
sand-stones. 
The World’s Newest Kingdom 
A retrospective view over the history and 
character of Montenegro, one of the oldest 
independent communities in Europe. There 
is a thriLling story here in the steadfast 
protection 01 the Black Mountain by its 
small army of valiant warriors. Every foot 
of the grcnmd has been drenched with the 
blood of the Moslem force that sought to 
plant the Crescent on Tchernagora’s Moun¬ 
tain. 
The Ridgepole of North America 
A superbly illustrated article on the back¬ 
bone of the American continent. The Ca¬ 
nadian Rockies have been (jailed “sixty 
Switerlands in one." and their supreme and 
rugged beauty, combined with their enor¬ 
mous scale, make the name seem not inap¬ 
propriate. 
With Roosevelt in Upper Egypt 
An impression of the wonderful country of 
the old temples—those of Abu Simpel and 
Philae, the latter now partially submerged, 
but none the less beautiful, because of the 
building of the Assouan Dam. The author, 
Mr. W. Robert Foran, was Associated 
Press Correspondent for the Roosevelt ex¬ 
pedition. 
The Land of Manana 
One does not go to Southern Spain if he 
is in a hurry; for there the eternal watch¬ 
word is manana—“to-morrow.” The au¬ 
thor tells of the charming idleness that is 
characteristic of the people in Southern 
Spain, and makes you feel that you have 
visited the country with him. 
AncientBuddistTemple*from 200 B.C. 
These rock-hewn temples of hoary antiquity 
are among the wonders of the world. We 
have allowed a series of remarkable photo¬ 
graphs to bear the main burden of their 
description.
