Porto Rcos 81 Years of PROGRESS Under American RI

The municipal government of San
Juan is housed in a more elaborate
building. also fronting on the plaza.
The fact is that during the past 20
years the government has far out
grown its quarters and is now spread
out widely. The attorney general
and the department of justice are in
the Pink Palace" once the home of
the lieutenant governor in Spanish
times, near Government House. The
department of education is in an old
structure adjoining.
Work on the Capitol was suspended
Tor the better part of two years, dur
ing what has euphemistically come
to be known as the late unpleasant
ness the administration OF a gov
ernor with whom the Legislature
clashed Many of Porto Rico's activi-
ties were checked during that period,
Which was in effect an interregnum.
Now different condition prevails.
Another governor sits at the execu-
tive desk at La Fortaleza, which Is
the old Spanish name for the Gov
ernment House, a governor who has
| won the esteem, and affection, and
the confidence of the Porto Rican
people. Horace NJ. Towner, formerly
/ a member of Congress from Iowa,
for some years chairman of the House
committee on insular affairs, and
therefore, at the time of his appoint
ment, two years ago. we'll acquainted
with the problems of Porto Rico and
with it's leading representative citi-
Zens, through the visits of the latter
| to Washington and through his own
! visits to the island.
! So, during the past two years,
! activities have been renewed. sus-
| pended works have been resumed,
| governmental activities have been
! speeded up in all directions. A cor
| dial relationship prevails between La
! FortaleZa and the legislative cham
| bers. An era of good feeling has been
| established. II will continue, with
! beneflcent results for the welfare of
! Porto Rico and the advancement of
| its commercial interests as long as
| there presides in Government House
! at San Juan man in whom Porto

Was Horse a Loss?

When is A horse struck dead by
lightning not a loss?
This strange conundrum in real life
has been answered by Controller Cen
eral McCarl. in perplexing fashion-in
fact, most perpleNing to Second Lieut..
T. j. Randolph. Cavalry, L. S. A, who
lost the horse when the lightning
struck.
1t all happened the dark and stormy
night Of September s, 1924, between
Camp Custer, Mich. and Fort
| Sheridan, H. Lieut.. Randolph
with his Army outfit was en- route
across country from one Army post
to the other. The Cavalry horses,
including one fine animal which be-
longed To Lieut.. Randolph. were
piclleted TO a troop picket line on an
overnight camp at Pokangon, Mich.
The horses became frightened and
squealed, pulling at their tethers.
Lightning began to play, and as the
horses were almost mad with fright
about am, bolt of lightning
struck the animals. Six were killed
instantly. Among them was the
prize mount of Lieut.. Randolph.
Now the lieutenant, having paid
S135 for his horse, felt the Govern
ment should reimburse him, so he
filed claim. A local board of officers
recommended allowance of the claim,
but a board of officers in the Office
of the chief of finance disapproved
the recommendation. Feeling an in
justice, the lieutenant appealed again,
the board reconsidered its recomnen-
dations. and referred the claim TO
! the Secretary of War, who forwarded
| it to the controller general.
In sending the appeal to the con-
| troller general, the Secretary of War
sent along an opinion of the Judge
advocate general of the Army say
| ing that Randolph lost his horse
while engaged on authorized military
| duties" There is a law which au-
| thorizes reimbursement to an Army
| officer of the value of his property,
! provided it was lost under certain cir
! cumStances, including one that the
| claimant was engaged in authorized
| military duties in connection there
with
| Lieut. Randolph thought he suf-
| fered loss The board of Army Off
| GERS reviewing the case thought the
horse was a loss" so did the judge
advocate general of the Army.
} The chief of finance, agreeing the
| horse was dead, however, said 1t was
not loss" under the law. The con-
| troller general has agreed with him,
| that the horse was not a loss, and
| that the Government cannot pay for
| the animal.
Now Lieut.. Randolph is at a loss
| to know how he can get $135 to make
| up the loss he sustained when he lost
| the horse which has been declared by
| the controller general not to be a
| loss.

When he returns TO San Juan the
visitor sees the capital with new
vision. Built upon an island ap-
preached by an attenuated neck OF
land, San Juan has long since out
afield. The old city is huddled COM
pactly on the western tip of the is
land. In the Spanish times the peo-
pie clustered for protection beneath
the sheltering walls of two great
forts, FL MORO and San CriStobal,
which loom on the Seaward side.
Morro occupies the extreme tip of
the promontory, after the usual fash
ion in Spanish fort building. At the
time of the American "bombardment"
in 1898. which was merely shelling
of. the harbor in search for Cervera's
fleet-which was not there-there
We're few habitations east of the Plaza
de Colon, where rises beautiful
statue of the discoverer. Now San
Juan has gone far to the east. 1t In
cludes the suburb of Santurce and
that of Martin Pena. 1t has grown
to population of $4,000. In a few
years it will have 100000, covering
a very large area.
In Santurce have risen and are ris-
ing many new dwellings, of artistic
design and substantial construction.
They are all detached, each with it's
own garden space. Many of them are
of the typical patio type, while 9TH
ers are of the bungalow school of de-
sign. The general effect is highly at
tractive.

town, in the suburb of Martin

some buildings for public purposes,
and will be told that most of them
are schools. These large, attractive
schoolhouses dot the island thickly,
though for the convenience of the
children they are mainly on the
thoroughfare roads. They are rising
now in the rural districts, substantial
and well equipped in token of the new
spirit of education that is the key
note of the insular administration.
Many small structures, some of them
little more than huts, are still serving
as schools, before each of them rising
staff carrying the American flag.
That flag floats throughout Porto
Rico 1t is, however, most frequently
the token of the public school. Some
times it hangs from mere. stalk of
bamboo while waiting for a better
staff. 1t is the proud duty of the
children to hoist and lower it morn
ing and evening, for which privilege
they eagerly compete.
There is still poverty in Porto Rico,
at times distressing poverty. 1t would
be absurd to say that all the people
are perfectly happy and contented
and abundantly supplied. Just so it
would be preposterous to assert that
all the people in the States are blessed
with unfailing abundance. A great
many of the people of Porto Rico live
in novels, straw-thatched and stilted.
In the cities large numbers of them

erected nearly thousand small dwell
ingS, both of wood and of concrete.
These are let to selected occupants-se-
lected in the sense that care is taken
to choose dependable, Industrious ten
ants-at small rates. After a certain
period the occupants become the own
ers. In other words, the government
sells these houses to the people at
low prices on the easy payment plan.
This experiment in government
promoted housing for the working
people has proved a decided success.
The occupants have been drawn out
of the city slums, in the deeps OF
which disease spread and families
were undernourished. At first some
trouble was encountered in the matter
of collecting the rent installments.
Mischievous socialist tic agitators
sought to persuade the occupants that
they were entitled to the properties
without paying anything for them.
Soviet ideas! But the government
went ahead and ousted those who
were thus wilfully delinquent, sub
stituting new occupants from the long
waiting list of applicants. and since
then there has been little or no trou-
BILE on the score Of payment.
Additional territory has been ac-
quired and more dwellings are even
now being built. The demand for
them far exceeds the supply. The
houses are substantially built, each
with small space of ground for table
garden cultivation, with complete
sanitary equipment. 1t is believed
that great progress will by this means
be made in the fight against disease
and that the working people will be-
come much more contented.

taking her toll.
Good order prevails in Porto Rico,
for there is a high degree of respect
for the law Only when Scheming
agitators arouse them with false, IN
cendiary teachings do they manifest
hostility. Though they come from a
somewhat eXcitable, emotional stock,
the Porto Ricans are exceptionally

meanor they are quiet. yet they are
social and always ready for gay as

TO the eye of the visitor Porto Rico
is a surprising panorama of great
beauty. For a small island 1t is an
unusual combination of mountain and
sea. The shore line is exceptionally
attractive, with it's tropical verdure,
it's indentations and its closely ap-
preaching sentinels of the mountain
ranges that bisect the island from
east to west. In the distance rise
these higher hills, reaching a height
of more than 1000 feet-not gigantic
mountains, but in proportion to their
setting great masses, usually capped
by clouds. Within half an hour OF
motoring from the sea one is lost in

There Is no monotony of scene in

his love of the beautiful by cultivating

So broad are the sweeps of valley

changes of perspective, curve and
color; so varied are the formations, so

Larfest Dinosaur.

|\MORD has just been received of the
W discovery of the largest fossil
dinosaur bones on record by an expe-
dition. under w. Z. Cutler Of the
British Museum. which has for the
past year been working in the dino
saur beds in TaLganyika, formerly
German East Africa. The prize find
so far uncovered is a shoulder blade
six feet two inches across. The dino
saur beds of Tanganyika were dis.
covered and partly worked by the Ger
mans before the war, and many inter
esting remains have been found there.
There is close resemblance between
the dinosaur fauna of Africa and that
of Western North America, especially
in the case of the Stegosaurs or arm
ored dinosaurs. Even the newly dis
covered giant has American kin,
though this particular dinosaur is rep
resented in American finds only by
two-limb bones.
