this morning a two hour practice was
held in the afternoon. The field had prac-
tically dried off and was in good condi-
ton due to It's excellent natural drainage
and the drying effect of a warm sun,

HONDURAS
A Land Of Rivers and big Debt-Con-
lions of Travel

Honduras. where an incipient revolu-
after the rebels had captured four cities
is described in bulletin of the National
Geographical society, based on a COM
munication from f. J. Youngblood, as
follows:
Honduras is country OF hills and
valleys; Of rain and sunshine; of large
and small rivers. A half-dozen rivers
may be crossed In one day. and while
they are usually narrow and shallow. a
few hours rain will turn them into roar
ing torrents, absolutely impossible. I
have been held up for five days by a
stream that when I first crossed it was
less than three feet In depth. When
wanted to cross the second time. a few
weeks later, it had been raining. and
even the natives remained on whichever
side they CHANGED to be until it went
down again.
Honduras is said to be the most back
ward of all the Central American repub-
lies. and she will remain so until rail-
roads cross the country and the govern
inent becomes stable. Then there will be
great opportunities there for many, and
Americans and American capital will al
ways be welcome.
THE country is just little larger than
the State of Pennsylvania. yet it has a
population of only a little more than half
a million. 1t has the largest per capita
debt of any country on the face of the
globe except New Zealand--at least it
had before the present European war
upset ali statistical conditions. Ii owes
$500 per capita. Most of this debt was
created by loan-shark methods, however.
for Honduras would agree to pay SO to
get $1-or some such ridiculous proper
ton.
THE name of the country liz said to
have been derived from a Spanish term
meaning depth the early explorers hav-
ing found difficulty in striking water
shallow enough for anchorage They
were so delighted when they reached the
Nicaraguan shore nearby that they called
the headland Cape Gracias a Dios Cape
Thanks to Cod. name it still holds.
"As n rule, the night will be spent in
a native house. sometimes little more
than a hut. built Of mud, matched or
rooted with. tiles. One is apparently al
ways welcome to the best the house af-
fords; but hammock as part of the

other residents greatly to be feared.
Everybody sleeps In one room-lnen,
women and children together. Your hosts
are curious but politely so. watching you
undress and get into your hammock, with
n calm stare that must not be considered
impertinent. for a white man is not an
everyday visitor. I rarely undressed
completely Sometimes l would only
take off hat, coat and boots sometimes
only my hat for sleeping in ones clothing
