AZORES: MAY BE AERIAL
HALFWAY HOUSE

The Azores islands, in years to
come. may be an established mid-At-
lantic rest station for airplane flights
across the ocean.
Farthest from continent of any
Atlantic island group, the islands lie
$50 miles west of Cape da Roea, Portu-
gal. and more than a thousand miles
southeast of Newfoundland, nearest
North American land.
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
while the former were active, made
the Azores objects of scientific inter
est akin to that evinced in the now
famous Mount Katmai region in Alas
ka Suboceanic eruptions, sometimes
piling up islands which soon disappear
ed, were characteristic phenomena
One early description of such an event
tells how the earth and waters were
rocked for eight days by earthquakes
followed by a vast caldron of fire that
seemed to sweep the seas surface and
consume the clouds, spewing enormous
masses of earth and rock. Then there
appeared a group of rocks, ever grow
ing higher and wider until an area of
several square miles was contained in
this mo mans land" Later it was
shattered. and suhsided, as the result
of more earthquakes.
The Azores comprise three groups
of islands. Their total area is less
than that of Rhode Island; their popu
lation about equal to that of Kansas
City, Mo. Most of the inhabitants are
Portuguese. The rest are Flemish and
Moorish. with a few immigrants from
the United Kingdom.
Fruits and fish constitute the prin
cipal exports. Oranges are supplant.
ing pineapples. but the other products
lemon, citron, japanese medlar. and
bananas-maintain their popularity
The principal fish are the mullet, tun-
ny. and bonito.
Saint Michaels, largest island of the
group, has lava beds, caves which may
be traversed for miles, and NAM
moth crater with two jeweled lakes
one azure, the other emerald-at its
bottom.
On Santa Maria is the church where
Columbus knelt. Off Terceria a sub
marine volcano made its appearance
as recently as half century ago. On
Corvo have been unearthed coins
which suggest Carthaginian visits and
an Arabian geographer of the twelfth
century described islands of the "West.
ern Ocean" thought to have been the
Azores.
About the middle of the fifteenth
century the Portuguese sent expedi'
tions to settle upon them. One island
Fayal, was presented by Alphonso V
of Portugal, to his aunt, Isabella,
duchess of Burgundy. 1t was upon
her marriage to Philip the Good duke
of Burgundy, that he founded the fa-
nous knightly order of the Golden
Fleece.
In 1929 supporters of Maria da
Gloria against Miguel, in the struggle
for the Portuguese crown, established
themselves on the islands, and for the
three years following Queen Maria
lived at Angra. one of the seaports of
Importance. Others are Ponta Deigada
and Horta.

\ WITH FREEDOM WON

Alkaline Muttsr and Carl Mutter
were formally reunited Saturday

MUST SEE RUBBISH
DUMPED IN ALLEYS
SAYS MAGISTRATE

. Testimony OF eye witnesses will
p necessary 70 convict persons
charged with violation of Moline's
nav alley cleaning ordinance, Mag
1strate Gustafson announced today.
City Attorney Johnston endorses
the decision. The mere presence
OF rubbish in an alley behind a citi-
sens home is insufficient proof of
guilt the Magistrate maintains.
The ordinance, adopted after
weeks Of study and hesitation, pro-
hibits the placing of all rubbish,
such as paper. leaves, branches and
similar articles In any city alley. 1t
permits garbage. tin cans and
glassware, provided these are plac-
60 IN separate containers or ashes
Kept In separate piles.
Before a person can be found
guilty Of violating the ordinance it
must be positively known that he
has placed rubbish behind his home,
the magistrate stated. "Just be-
: cause there ID rubbish there does
mot necessarily mean that he placed
It thsre. He may have a neighbor
Who prefers to dump rubbish on his
aide OF the alley"
