HAVANA, Feb. 13.-Several millions
cf dollars in American capital are he

zons of the United States can not or

a lot of propaganda in the states. es-
pecially among the Florida resorts,
knocking Havana. They have spread
the reports that 1t costsN$S5 a day to
live down here; that flu Is killing hun
dreds; that the town is full of crooks
and the labor situation borders on revo-
luton. Next year and in years to come,
this win be the pleasure capital of
America. 1t will be gayer than Paris"
What, then. are the present facts about
gay life in Havana?
IT'S tanner
THAN FRISCO.
New Orleans and San Francisco, Up
until recent reform movements and pro
hibition came into force, altogether out
distanced Havana In the extent and the
abandon of their night life
And there is nothing even remotely
reminiscent of old Broadway.
There are, in Havana, three cafes where
music and dancing are offered on any
thing like the scale of an ordinary
American cabaret One Of these cafes
is in a suburb Jazz music, dancing anG
drinks are the attractions. The cafes
are not vicious In any sense, and the
attendance Is never large.
At the splendid track of the Jockey
club, with weather and racing condi-
lions nothing less than perfect: with
long line of bookmakers and Of pari-
mutuel booths eagerly taking bets, the
weekday crowds are thin in the extreme
On Saturdays and Sundays, the big days,
we saw, perhaps, a 70 per cent attend

one occupied was the press box.

Woman Says Thieves
Got Fancy Articles

Mrs. ]. H. Thomas, 522 West Thir
tenth street, reported to the police to-
day that a trunk in her room had been
broken into and wearing apparel and
jewelry valued at $515 was missing.
She told the police the following ar
ticles had been taken: Comb, set with
ninety seven pearls, valued al $500 silk
bathrobe valued at $50, lingerie valued
at 500, five silk dresses valued at $3.50,
and Iavaliere valued at $50
Mrs Thomas told the police she had
not looked into the trunk for some time
and could not say when the articles we're
taken. She said they had come to her
In the trunk from the Philippines.

RUMOR OF HIGH LIFE IN CUBA
FADES BEFORE ACTUAL FACTS

and the lack Of hotel accommodations
are given IN explanation of the tame
aspect of Havana, from the sporting
viewpoint
We saw no direct evidences Of flu. Ha-
vana's eighteen daily newspapers made
no mention of an epidemic. We were
told that the mild climate made fatalities
from bronchial infections very rare.
HOTEL ROOMS
SIG PER DAY.
The hotels now in operation certainly
do not appeal to American tastes nor
American pocketbooks, since the typical
spender in the United States always likes
to feel that he Is getting show for his
money.
= Rooms that In midsummer rent for
$3.50 a day are now bringing In S18
With bath" means nothing in the Young
life Of Cuban hotel proprietor Some
times the bathtub roosts in the middle
Of the bedroom. Sometimes 1t is d.
rectly adjoining, in which case its pri-
vacy is purely hctional. The porter keeps
his mopS and pals in your bath, the
barber obtains his cold water for shaving
from your bath, strange persons invade
it at all hours, and the lock won't work
There has been, and is, much propa-
Ganda afoat regarding Havana as q tour
ist center. 1t is evenly divided for and
against. Outside Of the hotel exploita-
ton, prices are reasonable; the city Is
clean, splendidly .policed and full of nat
UTal attraction. It's drives and buildings
are picturesque and when the American
capitalists who are putting up hotels
have completed the job, the city win have
a strong appeal for cold weather refugees.
But the wild yarns OF Havana as a sec
ond Babylon; as a capital of feverlsh gay
cites, thronged with spenders, are Matched
in the minds of thirsty folk who would
like to come here, but can't, or else these
tales are circulated by irresponsible press
agents.
Conservative Cubans are not ut all in
terested in seeing their metropolis adver-
tised as the mecca for sporting charac-
ters, and 1t is American cash that IS
being expended in the construction of the
three or four new hotels which will be
opened next fall.

Boys and girls in 1853 made their own
valentines and composed their own love

This was revealed today by Miss Mary
Dyer Lemon, editorial staff assistant of
the city library, who is exhibiting many
old and unique valentines.
On Feb. IA, 1858, Mrs. Minerva Davis

Through the many years Mrs Davis

Today the valentine, with its quaint
home SPUN verse. is the center of at
traction of the valentine exhibit at the
city library.
Mrs. Davis has framed the valentine
and the years has been very kind to 1t.
Miss Lemon describes the valentine as
"a most attractive cut work and hand
made valentine" The design is quite
