institution. Great work has been done
in grading and bridge-building. Some
splendid permanent concrete bridge
have been constructed. La Llbertad,
which Is also reached by road from
San Vicente In the east central part or
the republic, is the seat OF the cable
station between North and South Amer
lea, where messages are handled with
great dispatch. The roads leading
into La Libertad are much traversed
by oxcarts, as La Libertad Is great
port for San Salvador.
The mountain scenery on the way
to Santa Tecla. 1850 feet above sea
level and but II miles from San Sal
vador, Is inspiring. The great coast
range of mountains sends out giant
spurs and hogbacks to the very shores
of the Pacific, and between these lie
numerous watercOurses that run to the
sea. The region, Of which the extinct
volcano, QuetzaltepeQue, Is magn'f-
cent feature, Is very mountainous ana
rugged and Is intercepted by magnii1'
cent and fertile valleys.
Santa Tecla, also known as Nueva
San Salvador, lies at the base of the
mighty volcano San Salvador. 1t Is
connected by railroad and also by a
fine avenue with the nearby capital;
1t will be the most important city be-
tween San Salvador and La Iibertad
when the railroad spur to that port
has been constructed. The city Is well
Illuminated at night, has attractive
drives fne public buildings. churches.

dences, villas, and suburban homes
and estates, magnihcently kept up,
with fne lawns and gardens and all
the appurtenances Of fashionable coun.
try homes. From social viewpoint
1t is almost part Of San Salvador.
The city has a population Of about
1900; 1t owes Its origin to an earth
quake which overwhelmed the capital
about two generations ago.

esque Costumes, Including Arabs
In Their Flowing White
Garments.

There are more French soldiers to
be seen in Oran than in any town in
France. Those in France are at the
front or in the points of concentration
near the front. They are there right
enough, but one does not see them
at the front-because they are in the
trenches. But in Algeria it Is differ
ent. The streets are full Of soldiers;
so the cafes, the street cars, the stores,
the docks, the public gardens. The Of
fetal figures give the population OF
Oran at 10000. To the casual visitor
there seem to be at least half as many
soldiers besides.
And they are all French-French or
French colonial, not allied troops.
Besides, the casual, familiar army
types, there is every kind of exotic
fighting man, including native troops
from Indo-China, looking more like
Japanese than anything else, and uni
formed as ordinary French colonials
of the line. There are the zouaves,
with their baggy red breeches and
khaki puttees now O. days, instead of
the white CATERS of the old parade
days before the war. Their short,
black-braidod jackets, saShes and
blouaes. however, are unchanged.
There are the Chasseurs d'Afriqne--
the African light cavalry-wth sky
blue uniforms and red fezes. the most
elegant Of French military horsemen.
More gorgeous, however, are the
"tiraileurs," the sharpShooterS, equal
ly in sky-blue uniforms, faced with
yellow, and also wearers of fezes. On
active service this magnificence Is sup
planted by khaki and khaki fezes upon
which a star and crescent indicate that
the wearer Is follower of the prophet.
More characteristic of the country are
the "spahs" troops, Of
ficered by Frenchmen. They wear
flowing scarlet clOaks and the soldiers
wear turbans and native costumes; the
officers, unequal to coping with the
turbnn, content themselves with fezes,
but sacrifice nothing of the resplendcnt
scarlet cloak. The most picturesque,
"goums," the Arab cavalry regiments
raised by the Arabs themselves, They
Wear the flowing white garments, the
'bournous" of the desert
At tea time any sunny afternoon the
Boulevard Seguln, the principal street
of Oran, Is crowded with these uni
forms, and more besides. The terasSe
of the Cafe Continental hasn't q va
cant table, and the tables cover the
sidewalk almost to the curb. There
are no regulations about the hours at
which drinks may be served in Algeria,
for the war is far away and the garden
of Africa Is for those who are sent to
rest, to forget the war for while,
for the cOnvalescents and for those
who stop few days or few weeks
between service in Macedonia or Egypt
or wherever else the world of war may
send them.
There are French sailors in Oran,
too, for Oran Is Frances nearest naval
port to the Straits of Gibraltar, and
the great amphitheater harbor so full
Of ships of commerce. whose enlarg-
ed wharves are piled with stacks of
grain and acres of wine casks, is also
an important naval base.

-L SALVADOR, the little repub-

sminences elsewhere in Central Amer
lea. In the healthful uplands or noun
tain basins, where larger part of the
population lives, 1000 feet or more
above sea level, are to be found tree
shaded cities and rich country dis
tricts that in charm and interest will
repay richly every moment the trav-
eler will spare them. The healthful
climate gives rise to a vigorous and
enterprising population. This little
country has a record Of having pro-
duced 75,OOO,OO0 pounds Of coffee in a
single year, 1919. perhaps more In
earlier periods.

a very short trip up to the capitol, but

Tech SCHOOLS
SERVE IN WAR
TO TRAIN MEN
Draft Soldiers at Carnegie
Institute Learn Radio
Operation.
BY FREDERICK NJ. KERRY.
Washington Herald Staf Correspondent.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Aug. 7-Our
technical schools and colleges have
been mobilized by the War Depart
ment to turn out brains for the
army.
If some of the Kaiser's field mar
shals could take a flying trip to
America and see how American edu-
cational Institutions are turning out
technical men for the army and pre-
pairing to keep up the supply for
dozen years IL necessary. a great
light might begin to dawn even In
the Hun mind.
have Just inspected this work at
the Carnegie Institute OF Technol-
ogy, Aeronautical School Of Radio
Mechanics-the only one of its kind
in the United States.
Six hundred boys in khaki are
learning how to place and repair
radio installations Of our airplanes.
BY August 10 the number in
training in this course will reach
900. Every select service man
whose record shows that he has had
electrical training will be sent here.
Gen. Pershing has called for more
radio-mechanics.
Built In Ninety Days.
Through a big new steel and con-
crete building Quilt In ninety days.,
went with Director Of War Courses
Reed. The floor space Is covered
with Curtiss model training planes on
which the men work. The aerial
radio gets its power from a small
auxiliary motor, fastened to the chas-
sis OF the plane, above the right
wheel on the landing gear. 1t looks
like a big acorn with an electric fan
fastened on the front. When the
aeroplane Is flying, the force Of the
wind runs the radio motor. From
this motor wires are carried to the
sending set located in the fuseiage
and operated by the observer. The
men learn to make these installations
and to set up ground receiving sta
tions and keep them In repair.
In Touch with Schools.
The school keeps in the closest
touch with the army in France.
Cabled instructions from Gen. PERISH
ing result in changes in the course of
instruction to keep 1t up to the
minute.
"The men are given some of the
theory of electrical work, magnetism.
machine shop practice, code practice.
some sketching and working out of
circuits, and also radio sending" ex-
planned Director Reed.
These men are without exception
the best class Of students we have
ever had" said Director Reed. There
viii be no better trained men in the
army"
The school Of Intermediates was
located at Carnegie, because Pitts
burgh is the center of electrical pro-
duction.

BASKETBALL
MADISON NORMAL DEFEATED BY
ABERDEEN NORMAL, 10
To 10.

In a fast and we'll played basket
ball game at Normal gymnasium last
night the local boys went down to de-
feat at the hands of the Aberdeen
Normal five. In the first half the
Madison boys put up a great game,
practically playing their opponents
off their feet, the half ending with the
score standing IS to 9 in Madison's
favor.
In the second half the Madison
team seemed to lose their pep" and
became completely demoralized with
the result that Aberdeen came back
with a vengeance, turning the tables
on the Madison boys and scoring 10
points to Madison's one.
The game, although not spectacu-
lar, was fast and we'll played and
was particularly free from fouls and
rough work.
The lineup of the Madison team
was as follows: Forwards, Goff and
Johnson; center, Schmitt; guards
Powers and Unzelman. Norton was
substituted for Golf in the second
half.
