The Once Ouer
he LATEST ON TAcNA-ARIcA

Chill and Peru again are about to
settle the dispute over Tacna-Arica.
| Delegates from each country are
| in conference at Washington. If
Tacna africa is what it sounds like
they may agree to take six cases
apiece and end the matter.
They are considering this Tacna-
| africa behind closed doors. Every
little while a Peruvian delegate stag
| gers out and declares he has been
drugged A couple of Chifans then
reel forth, clamoring for eye-tests.
| Washington gets both sides to agree
to another chemical analysis. and
everybody's happy for another day
or two.
Control of Tacna- africa means a
| lot to both countries. 1t is said to
have more of kick In il than any
other patent medicine on the
market.
Peru and Chill each wants the
bottling rights and Is willing to pay
| Washington a premium on each
quart if the United States will con-
duct the advertising campaign.
| The outcome is of vital interest to
all Pan American countries.
A Pan American country is a
country that pans America. Prac-
tically every country is doing that
! today, which makes the membership
very large. If the matter isn't ad-
| iusted with care another war may
be started.
Chill and Peru have never had a
world war started over them and
are rather peeved about II. A Chill
| ian is very proud person and can't
understand this oversight. He thinks
he is entitled to a world war. The
same is true of a Peruvian. A
! Peruvian is rather warlike, but it is
said a Peruvian's bark Is worse than
his bite.
| The world powers are looking
about in search of g. provocation Tor
a new war. They might agree to
| fight it over Chilli and Peru ii these
countries convinced them they de-
served it.
After all, the major nations got
along a great deal better with one
another during the world war than
they are getting along under peace
conditions.
Chill is situated on the west coast
of South America, and runs along
| it like a strip of bacon until 1t
reaches Cape Horn. Cape Horn is
cause of much friction, and the
question which can play 1t best
never has been settled.
Chilli is 2,700 miles long, and
whenever a Chilian diplomat gets
real hot over anything he walks
the whole length of it to cool OH.
Chill is bounded on the north by
Peru. on the south and west by the
Pacific Ocean, and on the east by
Bolivia and Argentina.
Chilli has many volcanoes, most Of
which are in the legislature.
Peru is very uncomfortably To-
Gated between Ecuador. Brazil. Bo-
Iiyia, Chill, and the Pacific Ocean.
Its eastern boundary line is always
| in dispute, nobody being quite sure
where the Peruvian building line
ends. Every little while PERUVIAN
/ taxicab driver builds a garage three
l
starts war.
| Peru has more mineral wealth
than a Metropolitan Opera House
boxholder.
She also grows the conchana or
ouinine plant from which we get our
ouinine pills. A quinine plant bears
pills throughout the drinking season.
They produce five-grain pills UP. to
their third year, after which they
bear ten grain ones prolificly.
| The concilarni herb grows near
bv, and from this very Intoxicating
drink is produced by the simple
process of crushing the roots In
| paper cup.
This makes it possible for Peru
Wan to acquire a terrible head, and
then relieve it by crawling over 10
uuinine bush and taking six pills.
Agriculturists are now trying 70
develop a plant in Peru that VIII
grow paper cups, so Peruvians won't
have to carry a thing. Then they
won't give a whoop for Tacna AFRICA.
