BUDAPEST: CAPITAL OF
THE MACYARS

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.
C. Townley-Fullam, in a communica-
ton to the National Geographic So
ciety, vividly describes this city of the
Magyars in the care-free days before
the war. He writes:
"It is 10 o'clock in Budapest Thea
ters and opera, music halls and cafes,
restaurants, and casinos are packed,
for the serious business of the day
has begun. To find an empty place
one must go into the brilliantly lighted
streets or go home. From now until
long after the dawn has broken over
Buda fortress, on the other side, the
easy-going, improvident Magyar Of the
city is immersed in affairs which will
not wait.
1.-THE true Magyar would scorn to
bear false witness against his neigh
bor; he does not steal; he cannot
curse; nor does he work on the sew
enth day, nor indeed on any other.
The other commandments take their
chance.
"These things may not be quite con-
vincing. But when we approach the
question of tribute, the rendering I'M
to Caesar of things which are not
Caesars, the pure oriental emerges
from his purely occidental Western
environment and is again in the tents

day instance. Go into cafe and order

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 a 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
cfty'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.
Its closest rival is Santiago, but that
city has only one-tenth as many
people.
"As half the country's urban popu-
lation Is centered in Havana, so also
is half Of its shipping. The city nor
mally handles q greater foreign ton
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 in 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
cago's loop.
"There are no advertising signs on
| these lots. But as one motors along
one sees nesting close to the ground
| inconspicuous little boards, about q
foot long and half foot wide, bearing
the legend in Spanish Sold to Mr. So
and So,' and Mr.. So and So is usually
some Cuban who made a fortune out
of sugar down in the provinces and
came up to the capital for the social
season. If not that, he is probably
an American who likes to be reason
ably near the country clubs, and pre-
fers to live where the cocktail has not
lost its legal status. The price of the
| lots was from one to three dollars a
square foot, or from 5000 to $130, 200
per acre."

bia. The battle was increased In mag
nttude, however, by the extension of
suffrage to women in the many states
which did not permit them to vote in
previous elections.
This greatest of election struggles
took place in an area of approximate
ly 100000 square miles, under condi-
tfons varying from the frosty weather
of the Canadian boundary and possible
snow storms of the higher cOmmuni-
ties of the Rockies, to the burning
sunshine of Key West and some of
the cities and villages of the south
western border.
Ballot boxes-emblems of american
SOvereignty-were set up in the hearts
of great cities, in villages, in wayside
school houses; on isolated islands, in
pockets of the great woods; far up
among rough peaks, and below the
level of the sea; in many cases in
communities which lie behind great
natural barriers that cut them off
physically from other settlements. And
yet, because of the telephone and tele-
graph wires that extend into nearly
every community, and wireless COM
munfcation that supplements them,
most American citizens learned the
results from the far-fung battle line
at their breakfast tables next morn
ing. Indeed, impatient followers of the
returns knew the results before mid
night, reading reports flashed on
| screens before newspaper offices in
countless cities and towns.
1t was far different, paradoxical as
it may seem at first sight, during the
early presidential elections in which
popular voting figured, in spite of the
| fact that practically all voters were
east of the Mississippi river and most
of them in the States along the At
| lantic seaboard. Lacking electrical
means of communication and rail-
roads, and having but poor highways
and vehicles, the country was often in
| ignorance of the candidates elected for
weeks after the election.
| The contrast cannot be carried back
to elections when the United States
was confined to its original thirteen
members along the narrow strip OF
coast country, for in those days the
voter and the campaign manager had
not come into their own. The choosing
Of president was a partyless, cam
pafgnless and-so far as most of the
"men in the street" were concerned
"a voteless affair. Legislatures saved
voters from the bother of casting bal
lots by appointing electors and the lat
ter chose a president.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

To elect the president whose in
auguration took place March the
heaviest battle Of ballots" ever
known was waged. The steady drop,
drop, drop of the pieces of paper by
which the American citizen registers
his voice in the conduct of the govern
ment began on November 2, in East
port, Me-, eastern-most community in
the United States, and continued un-
til some sixteen hours later when cleo
ton judges closed their booths in
Ozette, Wash, the presidential suf-
frage community farthest west.
The battle was not made greater
than those of 1912 and 1916 by any
increase in the area over which it was
fought, for Arizona and New Mexico,
casting their ballots for President for
the first time in 1912, completed the
roster Of the States in the United
States proper and signalized the ex-
tension of the presidential suffrage to
every political unit between the two
oceans and the Canadian and Mexican
borders except the District of Colum-

WOULD GET RID OF "JUMK"
Writer Protests Against Custom, All
Too Common, of Keeping Useless
Old Household Goods.

Articles which owe their value to
their utility may become unservice-
able, but the owners, instead Of get
ting rid of them, find some niche in
the home in which to store them, or,
worse still, keep the old goods in a
place of honor with modern furnish
ings and make their homes ugly as
well as comfortless.
Where families have lived in one
house for years, miscellaneous articles
of useless furniture will be found lum-
bering up the place. If the more SEN
sible and practical members of the
family ask for their disposal, and
comment on their uselessness they get
a lecture entitled sentimental value.
The amazing part of the sentiment
al value plea is the little regard these
misers of rubbish place on the tastes
and desires of other members of the
family. The worshipers of household
goods are likely to become exacting,
and unhappily these failings increase
as they grow oIder.-San Francisco

GUAM: WHERE FISH ARE
CAUGHT IN STRANGE
FASHION

Should the United States acquire
the much discussed Island of Yap. the
Island of Guam will be robbed Of it's
distinction of being our smallest pos
session. Guam lies east of the Phil
ippines and northeast of Yap.
A writer to the National Geographic
society describes the customs and nat
ural resources of Guam as follows:
''The fruit of a common tree (Bar-
ringtonia speciosa) the natives use to
stupefy fish.
''The fruit is pounded into a paste,
inclosed 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. The natives scoop them in their
hands, sometimes even diving for
them.
"In the mangrove swamps when the
tide is 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 a
measure the function of lungs, en-
abling the animal to breathe atmos-
pheric air.
"Men, women and children of Guam
are expert swimmers, and are as much
at 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. 1t 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 a rule the
farms are not too extensive to be cul-
tivated by the family. All the mem
hers, even the little children, lend a
hand"

WISHED THE LADY HAD ACTED
Probably Youngsters Comment Found
Echo in the Minds of Others in
the Audience.

A politician was making a speech
at one of the towns school houses.
Naturally, he was telling of all the
accomplishments of his administration.
And always after he had told one
he turned toward his wife, who was
in the audience, and said:
''My wife will bear me out in what
have just told"
Over and over he repeated his rather
long-drawn-out boasts, despite his
yawning audience, always bringing the
lady in at the finish.
But at last he stopped.
Then an irrepressible high-school
youngster turned to his companion
and said in a tone loud enough to be
heard by those in his vicinity.
I'm so tired that 1 wish his wife
had borne him out the first time he
suggested it."

RAPALLO: QUIET HAVEN
OF STORMY FUMES
ARBTTERS

Fighting and bloodshed at Fiume,
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
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
Riviera'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 bolder
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 di Portofna. 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-
| tanning much of the quaintness of the
old Riviera, unspoiled by modern In
f1uences. The road 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 these 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, it is just
over the line of the Commune of Ra-
pallo. 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.
