GUAM: WHERE FISH ARE
CAUGHT IN STRANGE 4
FASHION

Should the United States acquire
the much discussed Island of zap, the
Island Of Guam will be robbed of its
distinction Of being our smallest pos
session. Guam lies east of the Phil
ippines and northeast of zap.
A writer to the National Geographic
society describes the customs and nat
ural resources of Guam as follows:
1.-THE fruit Of common tree (Bar,
ringtonia speciosa) the natives use to
stupefy fish.
"The fruit is pounded into paste,
Enclosed in a bag, and kept over night.
The time of an especially low tide is
selected, and bags Of the pounded fruit
are taken out on the reef next morn
ing and sunk in certain deep holes In
the reef. The fish soon appear on the
surface, some Of them lifeless, others
attempting to swim, or family strug-
Cling with their ventral side upper
most. SThe natives scoop them In their
hands, sometimes even diving for
them.
I'm the mangrOve swamps when the
tide ia low hundreds of little fishes with
protruding eyes may be seen hopping
about in the mud and climbing among
the roots Of the Rhizophora and Bru-
guiera. These belong to a group Of
fishes interesting from the fact that
their air bladder has assumed in q
measure the function of lungs, en-
abling the animal to breathe atmos-
pheric Dir.
"Men, women and children Of Guam
are expert swimmers, and are as much
ut ease In the water as on land. As
they throw themselves into the sea
and come bounding from wave to wave
they remind one of dolphins.
According to the testimony Of early
writer's, their houses were high and
neatly made and better constructed
than those of any aboriginal race
hitherto discovered in the Indies.
1.-THE natives of Guam are, as a rule,
Of good physique and pleasing appear
ance. Owing to their mixed blood,
their complexion varies from the white
Of a Caucasian to the brown Of a
Malay. Most Of them have glossy
black hair, which is either straight or
slightly curled.. It is worn short by
the men and long by the women, either
braided, coiled or dressed after the
styles prevailing in Manila.
1.-The people are essentially agricul-
tural. There are few masters and few
servants on the island. AS rule the
farms are not too extensive to be cul-
tivated by the family. All the mem
bers, even the little children, lend a
hand"

BUDAPEST: CAPITAL OF
THE MAGYARS

Budapest, once famed for its gayety
and now suffering the pangs of fam
inc, once more commands attention
as the capital where effort Is being
made to restore monarchical form of
government in Hungary.
G. Townley-Fullam, in communica-
ton to the National Geographic So
ciety, wildly describes this city Of the
A1agyars in the care-free days before
the war. He writes:
ut is 10 o'clock in Budapest. Thea

restaurants, and casinos are packed,

RAPALLo: QUIET HAVEN
OF STORMY FUMES


held for many months by the poet
adventurer, Gabrielle d'Annunzio, has
been in striking contrast to the quiet
and peace of Rapallo, in the neighbor-
hood Of which was signed the Rapallo
agreement, SO frequently mentioned
In the newspapers.
1t was to enforce this agreement,
which provided for the formation of a
free state Of Fiume, that the italian
regulars stormed Fiume.
The quaint little town of Rapallo
lies close to the mid-point of the mar
row mountain-rimmed shore of the
northwest coast Of Italy, just south of
France, which constitutes the world
famed italian Riviera. The semi-circle
of the Riviera lies open to the sunny
south. To the east, north and west
rise the sheltering heights Of the
Apennines and the Ligurian Alps. So
wonderful are the climate and the
scenery of these rough, sun-bathed
mountain slopes and bits of beach pro-
tected from northern winds and
washed by the warm waters of the
Mediterranean, that they have come to
be looked upon as forming the most
pleasant winter resort in Europe.
The western arm of the italian
Isiviera's semi-circle-"the Riviera of
the setting sun''-adjoins France and
is best known and most frequently
visited. The eastern arm-'the Ri
viera of the rising sun"-has holder
and more picturesque scenery; the
Quaintness of its towns and villages
is less affected by modern buildings.
In this latter section of Italy's wonder
land lies Rapallo, "pearl Of the East
ern Riviera"
Rapallo lies on the Bay of Rapallo,
formed by the greatest of the multi
tude Of headlands that jut into the
Mediterranean along this serrated
coast. The Monte iii Portoflna, which
forms the summit of the headland,
rises abruptly from the sea to height
of 1000 feet and affords probably the
best vantage point in the Riviera for
comprehensive view of this magic
region Of mountains and water.
A mile to the south Of Rapallo on
the shore of the same bay is Santa
Margherita, like Rapallo, town re-
taining much of the quaintness of the
odd Riviera, unspoiled by modern in
fluences. The read skirting the bay
for several miles from Santa Mar
gherita to the point of the Portofino
headland is said to afford one of the
most beautiful and charming walks in
Europe. On one side are dark rocks
washed by the glittering, blue sea; on
the other rise pine-covered slopes on
which are situated many beautiful
villas.
The entire region about Rapallo and
Santa Margherita is noted for the
large number of there show places. In
one of them, the stately Villa Spinola,
the agreement between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia was signed. Though this villa
is nearer Santa Margherita, 1t is just
over the line of the Commune of Ra-
pnllo. Because of this detail of com
munal boundaries the important agree
ment which fixed the status of Fiume
and the Dalmatian coast, and seems to
have solved one of the most stubborn
Of the after-the-war territorial prob
lens, will go down in history, not
bearing the name of the nearby Santa
Margherita, but bearing that of the
more distant Rapallo. a

CUBA's UP AND DOWNS OF
PROSPERITY !.

To understand the present economic
conditions in Cuba, complicated by the
recent presidential election, one must
take into account the prosperity wave
Of year ago.
William Joseph Showalter, who WIS.,
tied the island at that time, wrote the
National Geographic. society as fol-
lows:
almost every person who visits
Cuba on pleasure bent lands in Ha-
vana, and comparatively few get more
than twenty miles away from that
city's central park.
IF New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Boston and Washington were
consolidated, the resulting metropolis
would bear about the same relation to
the United States that Havana bears
to Cuba. The capital city is the home
of more people than are embraced in
the combined populations Of all the
other cities and towns of the Republic
that have more than 1000 inhabitants.
It's closest rival is Santiago. but that
city has only one-tenth as many
people.
"As half the country's urban popu-
latton is conferred in Havana, SO also
is half Of its shipping. The city nor
mally handles a greater foreign tom
mage than any other port In the West
ern Hemisphere except New York.
"Most Of Cuba's wealthy families
have Havana homes. During the past
four years the net profits Of the sugar
business have probably exceeded the
gross returns Of any other four-year,
period in the history Of the island.
The result is that perhaps no other
city in the whole world has proper
tiOnately as large wealthy popula-
ton as Havana.
'Out Of these conditions grew a sit
uation where dollars were even cheap
er than they were In the United
States. Tens OF thousands Of acres Of
land were laid out I'm, residence sites,
and the Vedado district, the Riverside
Drive and the Sheridan Road Of Ha-
vana, were extended until It reached
farther from the Prado than Riverside
Drive from New York's City Hall
Square or Sheridan Road from Chi
Cages loop.
