DON'TS FOR TOURISTS.

For the summer tourist season articles giving " dos and " don'ts " are making their seasonal appearance. The Chicago Sunday Tribune publishes a cartoon depicting a scene in a travel bureau. A prospective tourist, of Babbitt-like build, about to flourish his U.S. passport, with a certain air of assurance, faces a clerk at the counter, m ho extends a card bearing the legend : " Politeness, Good Everywhere," and, at the same time, makes the suggestion : " In all foreign travel, and in South America particularly, you will find this the most useful passport an American can carry." The cartoon is typical of the increased consciousness among Americans of the susceptibilities of other peoples, and of the desire to take pains to respect them.
