ODD BELIEFS ABOUT AMERICA
Centuries, Country Was Held
to Be a Wonderland.

The Spaniards were not the only
race to visualize the New world as a
wonderland of rich mines and beauti-
full cities. Throughout the Sixteenth
and for the first half of the Seven
teenth centuries adventures of various
races were fully as credulous.
AS early as 100 the belief that the
continent was peopled by the descend
ants Of the lost tribes of Israel was
asserted.
Then there was NOrumbega, as the
Penobscot river in Maine was called.
This name also included the mythical
kingdom extending from the coast to
the head of PenObscOt, with the fabu-
lous city Of Norumbega located where
Bangor now stands. Dwarfs and giants
lived there in much splendOr, and
Champlain went to investigate and
found the Abnaki wigwams.
All these various yarns fell in nicely
with John Laws scheme, popularity
known as ''the Mississippi company"
In the literature and maps booming
that enterprise Louisiana was repre-
sented as being embarrassingly crowd
ed with rich mines
Mountains of gold and cities of Won
1rous loneliness, pearls and precious
stones-all these were ever just over
The horizon. Not until after the
French Indian war did the people fully
realize that their gold must be won
from prairies and the forest, and their
cities be built by their own hands,

Cruising Around the World


There is so much to tell about our
marvellous cruise to San Francisco
that my pen,-or rather typewriter,
hestitated where to begin. | made
several false starts when CHANGED
to overhear one of the most vivacious
young ladies aboard recounting with
great spirit her impressions of the
tropics. She told the story so much
better than / could that / listened in
on the conversation with delight.
When / heard that the young
lady had written home letter
about the cruise, Immediately begg-
ed to see it. And so with the lady's
permission l will quote from it's
pages her charming description of
our world cruise, merely emitting
names and personal references. The
letter which in part follows has a
charm and piquancy al it's own.
"The hardest thing to do at sea is
to write. One hates to leave the de-
lightful decks and if you write in
your steamer chair s'there are de-
lightful Interruptions every few min
utes.
"Well, let's begin at Havana. 1t
is the funniest place imaginable,
with very narrow streets and only
one way traffic. The sidewalks are
only wide enough for one person, and
as you go through these streets Cd
ors of garlic meet you at almost
every door. Almost all of the people
are of dark complexion. We went
for ride about the city and enjoyed
seeing the beautiful homes and the
historic MORO Castle. The place it.
self is not particularly impressive,
but it is only because it is so differ
ent from what we are accustomed to
that it is interesting.
1--WE had lunch at the Sevilla Hotel
to the accompaniment of as good a
Jazz band as l have ever heard. In
the afternoon we took another ride
to the great cigar factory which man
ufactures a famous brand. Here,
seated at log tables, were long rows
of men rolling cigars, while man
in the middle of the room read to
them from a book. Each of the
workers working contributes zoe to
compensate the reader.
"After the sightseeing, which was
over by four o'clock, several of us
paid a visit to Sloppy Joe's' the
most famous bartender in Havana.
The bar is right out in the street,
like an orange drink place at home,
and you can get anything you want.
Just because I could get real drink,
I took a pineapple juice, which was
delicious. In the evening we dined
at the Cafe de Paris, which reminded
me of familiar resort in Greenwich
Village. After dinner, we went to
the Casino to watch them gamble.
1t was fascinating, and I don't know
what would have happened to me if
I had had money enough to play. We
took the tender to the Ladonia at IL
that night and left Havana harbor at
six the next morning, which was Sun
day.
eve hadOlovely weather from Ha-
vana on, although rather warm until
Wednesday when we passed through
the Panama Canal. The locks are
not unlike those we went through on
a trip on the Great Lakes. l espec-
tally enjoyed Balboa and Panama.

If you are habitualIy long time in
going to sleep, try drinking slowly a

crackers before retiring for the night.

My first trip ashore was a visit to the
swimming club at Balboa. Here l
saw all kinds of swimming races,
particularly those by very small child
rem, from four years up. They are
trained by Mr.. Crabbe, famous in
structor. Both Balboa and Panama
are extremely picturesque old towns
and show strong Spanish influence.
We visited the old section of Panama
where the Spanish settled 800 years
ago, and saw beautiful old homes,
rich in historic association.
"To American eyes it is curious to
see the streets filled with small child
rem who wore no clothes. Their
brown skin made them look as
though they were made of chocolate.
Like everyone else, l of coure bought
a Panama hat, although as we learn
ed Panama hats do not come from
Panama. We dined in great COM
fort at the Tivoli, where elaborate
preparations had been made for us in
advance. In the evening dance was
given.
Zone of the curiosities of the place
was the extravagant use of strong per
fumes, which we Americans could
scarcely stand Curiously, the men
use perfume as freely as the women.
1t is said that one does not really en-
joy Panama until he has lived there
a year, but after that it gets you and
you will never want to leave. | can
understand that this may be so, for
I for one enjoyed it immensely.
1--WE were shown man in the To-
cal prison who had been jailed for
killing a woman. He is in it for ten
years, but because he eats so much
they are thinking of letting him go.
I don't see how they could keep him
anyway-such a prison, nothing to
it. 1t was impossible to get thing
to drink at the hotel, as it is on Gov
eminent property, but by walking
across the street to club you could
get anything you desired.
1.-THE Laconia left Panama prompt
ly at $3.50 on Wednesday and the
weather has been gradually growing
colder and today it is quite cool.

listically as a Turk, and | have never

got cold feet and changed to evening

riety of costumes.
''The Captain has introduced
game called deck golf, which is prov
ing very popular. Shuttle Board is

have a horse racing game on deck
which is especially lively. They
mark out a race track on deck in
chalk and have wooden horses which
are numbered and named after the
passengers. The races are very ex-
citing, and in betting I confess that
l lost $500 yesterday.
I'm the evening we have dancing.
I retire quite early, but seem never
able to get up in time for breakfast.
1t is a lazy, delightful life. The
boat is just like a small town."
