FINANCE is
BIG FACTOR
ON ISLAND
Cuba in Turmoil as Result of
Private Control of
Affairs.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

OW revolution is brewing in
I'M Cuba. Disorder may break out
at any time. according to in
formation received here.
Underlying it, and at least partly
responsible for the unrest, is the a.
mighty dollar. And sugar.
A large faction Of Cubans resent
what they term American interior
ence in Cuban affairs and the dollar
domination Of their country.
Cuban business is largely in the
hands of Americans or is dollar CON
trolled. American sugar investments
in the island amount to 1000, 600, =
900. Sugar mills and sugar estates
owned outright by Americans alone
are valued at something over $780,
100000 while another $125, 900, 600
worth are financed with Yankee
money.

Wages and
Cost of Living

Statisticians claim that wage earners are more
prosperous now than during the "peak period" of
1920. Wages have been approaching peak levels
while the cost of living remains considerably be-
low the peak.
Save against the time of low wages and IN,
employment. If you earnestly desire success and
most of us do then you positively must cultivate the
habit of systematic saving Irregular, bit-or-miss
saving is about bad as not saving at all.
Decide to deposit at least one-tenth of your
wages every payday in strong bank to earn in
terest. If you have no savings account then start
one at the nearest of our nine banking Offices

III the "merrie England" you have

country town. You WON'T find it in
the city.
Nobody knows better than the Eng
hshman himself that the villages and
small towns, the rural districts, are
the best part of England. The eng
lishman whose salaried position or
business permits him to do. SO. closes
his desk at noon on Friday or early
in the afternoon and hurries to his
country home, or to a country inn
or to the seashore. He returns to
business some time Monday
The commercial traveller in England
knows nobody will talk business with
him on Saturday, so he goes home on
Friday. If he is a long distance from
home, say $50 or 200 miles, and he
has a high-class job, he starts for
home Friday morning and sets out
again for his territory Monday morn
ing, reaching his field too late for
work that day, so that he really
works only Tuesday, Wednesday and

Cities Are Deserted.


On Friday afternoons the trains
leaving the cities are crowded. Sat
urdays they are packed with outward.
bound passengers. AL the Monday
trains are damned to suffocatlon with
the returning hordes The boats are
packed even worse than the trains
The workers who cannot afford a
railroad or boat trip go to the coun-
try and the shore in automobiles,
starting out Sunday morning with
baskets of food, returning in the eve
ming.
An English city is a cemetery on
Sunday. Even london, excepting
in a few spots, is a deserted village.
The resorts, the villages, the country
roads and lanes, are filed with city
strollers, drinking in the pure air
and enjoying the trees and flowers.
Towns Are Clean
The small towns of England are
nearly always picturesque. They
are as clean as new pins and the
yards are always filed with flowers.
If there is one without some historic
interest, the scene of a battle. the
birthplace of some famous English
men, the burial place of some king.
you will have to hunt long to find
such a-town.
You always find in the villages
some wonderful little tea rooms, de.
lightfully clean and serving home
cooked food. The restaurants in
these places are nearly always clean
and serve food so much better than
you can buy in the cities that you
feel like remaining a month
1t is in the small towns that you
find the old-fashioned English tav-
ern with the quaint name and the
sign with the picture Illustrating It.
Two of the most popular tavern
names I found were: THE Red

one place the lion was OF stone.

Are the Hawaiian Islands some
times called the Sandwich Islands?
If so, why?
They were named Sandwich Islands
by their discoverer. Captain James
Cook. after his patron, the Earl Of
Sandwich. However, the name has
fallen into disuse, and Hawaii, the
name Of one of the largest islands of
the group, has spread to the whole

January 19.

Hollins n. Randolph, president OF
the Stone Mountain Confederate Me-
mortal, and Gutzon Borglum, sculp-
tor of the memorial, called at the
White House yesterday afternoon to in
vite President Coolidge to attend the
unveiling Of the finished head of Rob-
ert E. Lee on the precipice of Stone
mountain, near Atlanta, on January
10. the anniversary of Lees birth.
They were accompanied by Harry
Stillwell Edwards of the staff of the
Atlanta Journal.
Mr. Randolph will go to New York
to confer with persons interested in
the work and will assist in raising
the fund.
'Stone Mountain Confederate Me-
morial.' said Mr.. Randolph, will be
the greatest monument in the his
tory of mankind. and 1 think 1t will
easily rank as the greatest work of
art in the world. President Harding,
fore his death, appropriately describ-
ed 1t as the eighth wonder of the
world
The memorial will consist OF a
stupendous panorama carved across
the mountain a distance of 1850 feet,
portraying Confederate artillery,
cavalry and infantry. In the center
will be a group of seven figures. por-
traying the Confederate high COM
mand, and In the center of this group
will be Robert f. Lee.
This was selected as the first
figure to be carved and the head of
Lee will be finished by January Is.
This head viii be nearly twenty We
feet high from the collar band to the
top of the hat crown and Will be over
thirty feet wide. The whole figure
of Lee on horse back will be as high
as a tifteen-story office building.
The magnitude of this memorial
and it's unique distinction. setting it
apart from every other work of its
kind in the world. have attracted at
tention not only throughout America
but in many foreign countries.
Work on the mountain and the
fund raising are going forward hand
in hand, and we have every reason
to expect that the fund will keep
pace with the progress of the work.
so there will be no interruption. 1t
will take from seven to eight years
to finish the whole plan"

Road to Fame

For many years, in Hayseed
Town, Charles Chigsmith went his
way; he had some yearnings for re-
nown, when he was young and gay !;
as years went on he settled down to
paths obscure and gray. Oh, others
rose and won the game, to shining
heights they sped; the genius with
his soul of flame looked up and went
ahead; but toll had made Charles
bent and lame, and all his dreams
were dead. Then he had pink pains
in his back, the kind of ache that
kills, and he sat groaning in his
shack until he shook the sills; a
neighbor kind came up the track,
and boosted Bungshaw's pills Then
ChigSmith took a silver wheel and
bought some pills that day; he took
two pills before each meal three
when he hit the hay, and shortly
said, Il surely feel like yearling colts
at play" And Chigsmith took his
pen in hand and wrote a sprightly
tale; his backbone ached to beat the
band, he was ruin pale; but Bung-
shaw's pills were truly grand. and
made him stout and hale. And now
this good old Chigsmith bird is
known from shore to shore; his
names become household word,
and will be evermore, its ringing
syllables are heard wherever backs
are sore. Still gifted authors vainly
rack their domes to conquer fame,
and noble singers vainly crack their
throatS to win the game, while CHG
smith, with his aching back, has an
immortal name.

been added. including a new dancing
pavilion artistically constructed. with
dome ceiling, costing s65, 900. which
affords dancing space for one thou
sand couples. Because Of the SPLEEN
did way in which the crowds are
handled many people visit this pavil-
fon who do not care to attend the
usual public pavilion.
A very extensive landscaping prot
ect is under way Much Of the work
has already been done and the rest
will be finished before the end Of
the year. A beautiful rev pond,
with weeping willows surrounding It..
will be stocked with every kind Of
water fowl native 10 the State. A
lovely fountain plays in the center
of the pond. Walks are beirg laid out
over the park and all space that is
not occupied by amusements or con-
oession stands. will be sodded and
handicapped.
Artistic clumpings OF evergreens
are placed Throughout the park. This
landscaping program calls for the ex-
penditure of $4,000, and when fin
ished will make this park one of the
most beautiful amusemen. parks in
she whole country.
This fall all Of the amusements now
on Thirtieth St will be moved back
and all of the ones on the south side
Of the street will be torn down. A
new skating rink will be built and

the park A pyrotechnic display is
conducted every Saturday evening.
