SALVADOR WELL PEoPLED,

The person who thinks of all Cen
trail America as jungle will be sur
prised to learn that Salvador has
more people to the square mile than
any country in the world except Bel
GUM. The density of population
is six times that of the United
States. The people even crowd
close up to the bases of the eleven
dangerous volcanoes, some of them
so active as to be called "infernillos,"
or '1ittle hells." There are other
''little hells" in Salvador, even worse
than the volcanoes. One is 70 per
cent of illegitimacy. One is lack of
sanitation. One is the tremendous
burden upon the women. = Dan
Ward, in World Outlook.
