SILK industry in the U. s. has treb.

Since Montevldeo Is In the southern
hemisphere It's seasons are the reverse
of those in the United States. Visitors
are specially numerous for the bath
ing season. which begins in October
corresponding to the northern May
and Is at its height at Christmas.
Detached impressions of Montevldeo
will bring to mind many SMILES ana
contrasts with better known cities.
Like New York. II covers narrow
peninsula from shore to shore; but In
architecture il Is the antlthesl. of the
North American metropolis, being
made up of n seemingly vast number
of low stone buildings, IA few two or
three stories In height, the great ma
jorlty OF them but one story. The prin-
cipal thOroughfare, the Avenue OF the
Eighteenth of July, extending along
the ridge of the peninsula, with lts
colonnades and sidewalk cafes, gives
touch of Paris. As great packing
center for the live stock produced on
the unsurpassed pastures Of Uruguay
Montevldeo is comparable to Chicago
or Kansas City. Evidence of this fact
is sometimes waited on the winds
when they blow to the city from the
seat of the gigantic industry across the
bay.
In physical equipment Montevideo Is
modern. 1t is well lighted, well wa
tered. adequately supplied with trans
portation facilities. and most admira-
bly, drained. Socially it cllngs to the
past, following more faithfully than
any other large city outside of Spain
and the Orient the old Spanish-Moor-
ish traditions of society's proper atu-
tude toward women.
As in other large South American
cities, moving picture theaters are
omnipresent Most of the films they
show are imported from the United
States
Montevideo Is famed for its port.
which is one of the best on the Attain
tic coast of the Americas. The city
has a population exceeding 4OO,Ooo'
more than a quarter of the population
of the entire 72,0O0 square miles of the
republic. In 1900 MOntevideo was the
largest and most important city in
South America. 1t Is now surpassed
by Buenos Aires, Rio and Santiago de
Chile, while it's rank as fourth city Is
closely contested by Sac Paulo, Brazil.

RIO DE JANEIRO: CITY
OF LURE

Rio de Janeiro, first of the three
South America capitals to be visited
by Secretary Colby on his recent jour
ney of courtesy to our neighbOring
continent, is described as follows In
communication from Harriet Chalmers
Adams to the National Geographic So
ciety:
"Thls city of lure terraces up from
a glorious bay-the Bay of Guanabara,
mountain enclrcled, isle bejewcled.
From the shore, where parks and bou-
levards are fast crowding out the old
Rio of narrow streets, rise the forested
hills on whose slopes the lovelier por-
ton of the city lies. Place your hands
on the table, fingers spread, wrists up
raised. Each finger represents one OF
Rios hills; each space between, can
yon up which the city climbs.
MANY of the new homes cling to the
hillside below the streets and are en-
tered from the roof. Others of these
-lift dwellings perch high above the
thoroughfare and are reached by
long flight of steps or by elevator or
an inclined plane. Some bear the
name of the lady of the manor over
the front door-'Villa Rosita, villa
Lucia'-and the dark-eyed lady herself
is often seen leaning from the window.
"Can any other city offer such en-
trancing vistas as those from the
mountain heights back of Rio? 1 have
Travelled far and have yet to find 1t.
Turning hayward, we look down
through a frame of tangled vines and
branches, onto the tree-tops of the
sloplng virgin forest. A scarlet-winged
bird fits to a nearby tree-fern; big

Sugar Loaf, the Sentinel of Rio Bay.
blue butterfly zigzags lazily by. There
are purple orchids within reach and
waxen begonias at our feet. Far be-
low, set in verdure, CLEANS the kaleldo-
scopic city, with its crescent shores.
"The bay, set in it's amphitheater of
hills, sparkles like a sapphire. To and
fro among the ships at anchor ply the
busy paddle-wheel ferry boats to the
islands and to Nictheroy, the little Sis
ter city across the way. In the distance
tower the blue spires of the lofty Or
gan mountains. Today we can see the
sharp crag called the Finger of God
Often it is veiled in mist.
"Avenida Rio Branco, Rios finest
thoroughfare, is more than a mile in
length and so wide that it consists of
two distinct boulevards separated by
row of shade trees. 1t is thronged day
and night with automobiles. The side
walks, the widest l have ever seen,
are black -and-white stones laid in mo-
sale design, like those in vogue in Lis
bon. Both stones and workmen were
brought from Portugal, but similar
pavements, constructed later in other
parts of the city, are homemade
"At the cinema theaters the people
of Rio de Janeiro know real comfort.
Unlike most of our moving-picture
houses, those in Rio have spacious
waiting rooms where you sit, listening
to excellent music until the hour Tor
the first reel comes round.
"Rio's climate is often maligned, but
it suits those who like spring and sum-
mer weather. 1t is never as warm as
summer in many of our Eastern and
Middle-West cities, and the nights on
the hills are nearly always cool.
"Now and then on the wide world
trail we find scene which dominates.
Such is Rio de Janeiro, City of Lure.
So long as glory of form and color
gladden. the eye, Rio will stand pre-
eminent in beauty among the habita-
tions of man."

Printers, Demands Refused.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Declaring
that they would be unable to meet the
demands of the local typographical
union for an increase in the wages of
lob printers on May 1 from $50 to sol
a week, employing printers, through a
committee, announced that the Amer
lean plan" of employment would be put
in effect in Salt Lake City and ogden
shops when the present agreement
with the union expires. This means,
the committee said, that "open shop
will prevail in all of the job printing
plants in the two cities.

MONTEVIDEO: CITY OF
THE HAPPY MEDIUM

Montevideo, capital of the republic
of Uruguay, was the second stopping
place of Secretary of State Colby in
his recent official visit to South Amer
lea.
Physically situated so that it is one
of the healthiest cities In the world,
with an equable climate which makes
it delightful place to live in, and pos
sessing an atmosphere free from the
hustle and noise of the more modern
and commercial Buenos Aires and the
more metropolitan Rio Montevideo has
become the resort city of South Amer
ica's Atlantic coast. Thousands of
wealthy South Americans are to be
found there at nearly all seasons of
the year, participating in the carnivals,
gambling In the great government
owned casinos that may be compared
to those of Monte Carlo, or merely en-
joying the restful life of this city
which still clings to the Spanish habit
of looking to "manana."

ORIGIN OF "APRIL FOOL"

Even in these times of turmoil and
contention, there is still one day when
not only may a man play a fool, but
his friends are privileged to give him
a headlong push down fools hill"
The origin of the custom of playing
practical Jokes on friends and neigh
bors on this "All Fools Day" is vari-
ously explained. Some of these expla-
nations may interest those who have
eaten cotton pie and bean chocolates.
Some writer's trace the custom back
TO the days of the miracle plays given
Mt Easter time. One of the most popu-
lar tableaux satirized Ananias, Gaia
phas, PLATE and Herod. In the decadent
days of these dramas actors played
largely for the amusement and ap-
plause of the groundlings until Herod.
in out-Heroding himself, and PLATE, in
the performance of his ablutions, lit
erally made fools of themselves.
A "Feast of Fools was held in the
early spring by the Romans, and the
Hindus, since time immemorlal' nave
celebrated as a saturnalia the vernal
equinox, or Feast of Hull. During
these festivities the chief amusement
seems to have been that of fooling peo-
ple and sending them on fruitless er-
rands.
Many students trace the origin back
no farther than France in the Six
teenth century. At any rate, the Gus
.om seems to have radiated from
France to England, as well as to Ger
many, if we are to believe what Grimm
says about it. France was the first ma
ton to adopt the reformed calendar
which decreed that the year should be-
gin on the first of January. Conse-
ouently those who objected to sending
out their New Years gifts and felici-
tations upon the newly chosen date in
stead of April /, as they had done pre-
yiously, subjected themselves to end
less taunts for being old fogies by
poing on visits that had no meaning.
The French call the victim of a prank
on April 1, 'un poisson d'avril," or ian
Anril fish," of which our American
Slang, "you poor fish," is good trans
Iation. The origin Of the expression
used in this connection probably arose
in the obvious comparison between
the person who "bites" rnwittingly and
the April fish. which is a young nsh
and therefore easily caught

jury Drinks Evidence.

Miami, Fla-Henry S. Black, New
York millionaire, was acquitted by a
Jury in the Dade county Criminal
Court here of having n large quantity
of liquor in his possession aboard his
private car at Cocoanut Grove, five
miles from Miami. The jury returned
the verdict in five minutes. All mem
bers of the panel were allowed by the
prosecution to drink from the seized
stock in order that they might deter
mine whether or not it was intoxicat-
ing.

COMENIUS: A PICTURE
TEACHING PIONEER

The United States commissioner OF
education has asked that the birthday
of John Amos Comenlus be observed
in American public schools on March
%, in conjunction with its commem-
Grafton i'm Czecho- -Slovakia. The Ma
tlonal Geographic society has issued
the following bulletin concerning the
famous Moravlan educator, author Of
the first picture textbook and the first
advocate OF teaching science in the
schools:
The births of new nations usually
mean the creation OF new national
heroes. Among the new. countries Of
Europe not only will the men who
played parts in their liberation be hon
ored in years to come Int the new ma
tionniities already are planning 20 gay
belated tribute to the outstanding fig
ures OF the period of their oppression.
Take Czecho-Slovakia, a country
which holds particular interest for
Americans, since its declaration of
independence was written in a Wash
ington, d. c., hotel. and condensed so
it might be printed in full In Bos-
ton newspaper, and Its constitution
embOdies many features of our form
of government.
ut may augur well for the future
peace of Europe that Czecho- Sloyakia
has chosen to commemorate as one
of its major holidays the birthday,
not of a warrior, or even political
leader, but of a school teacher.
in reading about him there also
will be much about pansophic schools,
and the intuitive method, and natural
istic conceptions of education. But
If you would get a more vivid picture
of the pioneer service of this forerun-
ner of Rousseau, Frobel, Pestalozzl,
and MOntessOri, try to imagine your
school today as a place where:
Pupils devoted nearly all their time
to memorizing page after page of
dreary texts
"All teaching had to be done through
a foreign language Latin).
mo objects were studied and only
abstract words were used.
Little was studied which related to
the physical world, the child's envi-
ronment, or his daily experience.
Nor was there any teaching of sci
ence, even geography, nature study,
animal and bird life.
None of the words, dealing largely
with things the pupils never saw, were
illustrated with pictures.
"And kindergarten, physical exer-
else, play periods, attention to hygiene
were virtually unknown.
"If you can imagine that kind of
school you will gain some conception
of the schools In the time of Comenius,
which he tried to improve In nearly
all of the particulars mentioned.
Most widely known, perhaps, or
Comenius' books is the 'Orbis Pictus,'
thought by some to have been the first
children's picture book, and certainly
the first application Of pictures for
school teaching Of visual instruction.

Lake Michigan water on the bow as
she performed the christening.

London, March 25.-The Communist
revolt in Germany, financed, it is de-
clared, by Soviet gold, is spreading
throughout the industrial districts of
middle Germany, threatening the great
ammonia, potash, anthracite and cop
per works, says II dispatch from
Berlin.
Strong police forces have been des-
patched to the centers where trouble
has grown out of the recent demand of
the leaders for general strike and
the arlning of the proletariat-Dres-
den, Eisleben, Freiburg, Leipsic, Halle,
Mansfield and other towns, the message
reports.
Efforts of the authorities, adds the
dispatch, have only resulted in the
communists Strengthening their posi-
tions.
Large sections of industrial regions
in central Germany are actually in the
hands of the insurgents, says an Ex-
change Telegraph Company dispatch
from Amsterdam, which quotes tele-
phonic advices from Berlin.
Reports from Saxony state that
more buildings have been damaged by
dynamite in various towns, and that
at Mansfield prisons have been opened
and their inmates liberated. Complete
anarchy is declared to reign at Hest
stadt, where all banks have been raid
ed and from which the population is
fleeing in panic
Town halls at Plauen and Rode
buildings at Leipsic and Freiburg were
damaged. one person being injured at
Freiburg.
The County Court building in Dres-
den was badly damaged by an explo-
sion and three persons were injured.
A similar attempt against the town
hall at Auerbach was frustrated by
the police capturing a man carrying
bag of dynamite.
A party of armed men, riding in a
motor lorry, attacked two savings
banks in Mansfield and succeeded in
securing about 100000 marks from the
institution. The savings bank at Hell
bra was also robbed during the day,
and strikers in that town compelled
the Helbra Anzeiger to suspend publi-
cation.
A large crowd surrounded the police
barracks at Heststadt and demanded
the surrender of arms stored there.
