HAVANA IS BUSY AND HAPPY
AND COUNTING HER CASH
(By a Staff Correspondent J


Havana, United Press. s.)-Hav-
ana is happy and carefree these
days. 1t ought to be. 1t never was
so prosperous.
And while thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars were left in Cuba by
American and European tourists
last winter-dollars freely spent by
opulent business men and sportsmen
the island republic has not been
satisfied to pocket that amount and
bask in its tropical sunshine in idle
ness. 1t has been at work. 1t is
working hard today.
Hardly does visitor to beautiful
Havana-so Spanish to the core in
tradition and appearance-pass old
Moro castle and enter the harbor
before he gets the lasting impress
sion that Cuba is prosperous-but
busy. Tugs, launches, lighters and
ferris are constantly scurrying
across the water from pier to ship
and from ship to pier. Cranes are
busy loading and unloading the big
vessels crowded into the heretofore
ample harbor
Ashore il is the same. The city's
real population of about 425,00O APP
pears double that number as people
rush through the narrow streets that
form the old town section. Neatly
uniformed and polite traffic officers
direct the steady stream of pedes-
trians and automobiles and street
ears up one street and down another
in fashion that puts New York
: and Chicago in the 'piker' class.
Shops, banks. restaurants, saloons
are crowded
There is the same rat-tat-tnt-t
of the electric rivet drivers on steel
skeletons that Inter will be modein
business houses. Old churches,
stores and residenccs-relics of an
ancient Spanish period-are coming
down. New and roomier structures
are taking their plnces. But with all
the commercial spell that has come
over the "Pearl of the Antilles" il
still clings s,ubbornly to its pictur-
esque settings. appearance, customs
and manner of life.

PARIS CHURCH BANS
 THE LOW AND SHORT

PARIS. - The church crusade against short skirts and low-neck gowns continues. A notice posted on the door of one Paris house of worship reads:
 No woman will be allowed to at tend service in this church whose dresses are cut low in the neck and whose skirts do not reach at least to the ankles"
 Scathing sermons on the subject have been delivered in Paris church es for some time. One priest re- fused to conduct the marriage ser vice for a bride whose dress. in his opinion, showed too great length of silk stocking, and which was cut in such a way 'as possibly to make it suitable for evening wear, but certainly not fitted for a church" The wedding was post poned. Probably this was the first occasion of the postponement of a marriage ceremony for such req son.

WELLS FARGO IS
 FORGED TO QUIT
 FAIRBANKS ROAD

The winter express service of Wells Fargo & Go. between Fair
 banks and the Outside, which has
 been of material benefit to the In-
 terior country in years gone by, since the very early days, has been discontinued, according to informa- Ition received at the local office of the company
 The information is not accompa- Inied by an explanation, the message merely stating that the service is of for the remainder of the winter. But in view of the fact that the icompany has had a great deal of difficulty handling it's business over the Fairbanks-C -Chitina trail during the past couple of winters, the as- sumption is that the service has peeH aodiuoieu ioT tldt reason. And if that is the case, the service very likely will not be resumed un- Hess more satisfactory arrangements can be made for handling the busi- mess between Fairbanks and Chitina or until the business can be routed by way of the Broad Pass route.
 The company might have been in- 'duced to divert its business to the
 Broad Pass trail this winter but for the fact that there was no certainty that the Government railroad be- tween Seward and Anchorage could
 be kept open. With this uncertainty inow removed and the assurance that the ends of steel will be brought much closer together before the end
 of another working season, there is reason to believe that satisfactory
 arrangements can be made for car
 rying express across Broad Pass
 during the coming winter and there
 after until such time as the business can be taken care of altogether by the Government railroad. It has been demonstrated that much more satisfactory results might have been obtain this winter by the company had the Nenana- Broad Pass route been used instead of the much longer Richardson trail, with its un- reliable mail service
 There is a movement already on foot in Nenana to take the matter up with the company with view to the establishment of an express Iroute via Broad Pass during the coming winter. and the matter doubtless will receive the attention of the Commercial club at an early date. Those who have interested themselves in the matter argue that it is not case of trying to get the business away from Fairbanks, but
 merely to revive a service which has been discontinued, presumably because of the inability of the Fair
 banks-Chitina contractors to make good. As it stands now, the In- 'terior country has no express service of any sort, and probably will not
 have until Wells Fargo & Go. can
 be induced to use the Broad Pass
 trail.
