Effective from April 28 to October 28, the fair tickets will be good lor two months, allow any number of stopovers, any selection of routes, so that no traveling step need be retraced. Up to 8,500 miles may be traveled for one fare. Straight coach tickets for this mileage would cost $130. Exultantly cried one-man Washington lobby, New York State's ex-Senator John A.
