HARD TO SAVE IN BOLIVIA
South American Salaries Are Higher,

Santa Fe, N. M.-Saving money Is q
much harder task in South America
than in the United States, despite the
higher salaries paid there, says Eu-
gene Lujan Of Santa Fe, who recently
resigned his position as clerk Of the
American legation at La Paz, Bolivia.
In a letter to his father young Lu-
ian points out that. though one can
earn more in South America than in
North America, the cost Of living Is
higher. Shoes which sell for So in the
United States cost SO In Bolivia.
Board and room amount to $50 a
month, laundry at least SO, and ev'
erythins else in proportion.
although Spanish is the official lar
guage," Lujan writes, "there are many
dialects, for the population is consid-
erably mixed. We have Ayamaras,
who are pure Indians; the Cholos, or
half-breeds; the Bolivians, the Eng
fish, the French and the Germans"

They were issued when the Czecho-
Slovak troops invaded Hungary.
The disputed port of Fiume has been
provided with a striking series of pie

or its own wheels to Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds for long-range tests.
The guns, Secretary Daniels said,
originally were intended for the new
battle cruisers, but a change in design
of the vessels made the guns avail
able for land service.
The guns were mounted on car
riages which could be moved freely
over the French railroads. With them
went their naval crews Twelve cars
were required for each gun-machine
shop cars, armored ammunition cars,
kitchen, berthing, crane and wireless
cars, The batteries were sufficiently
mobile that if an order came to move
while in action they could be on their
way In an hour.
Greatest Range of Mobile Guns.

They were built on permanent steel
and concrete foundations. Their pro-
jectlle was small and specially built
for long flight. This reduced their eff
ficiency and while they had moral eff
feet, their military value was small.
Because of their permanent position
their location was discovered by allied
aviators and the guns silenced.
The German 15-inch gun in Elan
ders also became famous for its long
range bombardment of Dunkirk and
other allied bases, but neither could
be shifted from base to base without
delay of weeks. The American A.

of 80 miles. At range of $4,000 yards
