STATUE GUARDS
 FEDERAL MONEY
Cleveland Bank Has Unique
 Protection

Cleveland, O, Oct. 25. LPl-"En- ergy." the huge bronze figure or q man beside the doorway to the Fourth Federal Reserve bank build ing in Cleveland, has all the ap- pearance of a friendly workingman taking q needed rest.
 But this stalwart figure is sh.eld behind which lies protection for the kings ransoms of money that are stored in the vaults be- hind his broad back.
 We're there an attack on the bank. the paneIs at the feet of the statue would swing back and the noses of a row Of vicious looking one-pounders would be disclosed ready to bark from beneath "En- ergy's" feet,
 There are other innocent looking statues in front of the big building that are camoutlaEe for the muzzles of guns put there to protect the gold stored in the bank. As much IS $500. .000, 900 has been held at one time in the vaults.
 Designers Of the building say the statue of Energy" is the only one decorating a federal reserve bank in the United States which com- pines beauty with the sterner re quirements that might follow in the wake of revolution or major catastrophe.
 Nothing short, of a mass attack
 1,,;IA;,- yrn111H q bring to the surface the belligerent side of "Energy's" nature, and he probably will finish his days with out showing his temper.
 Miss Security and Miss 1nteg- rity," marble maidens who stand on either side of another entrance to the structure, also would be in the thick of defending the stored treas ure. if necessary. Behind each, in the walls of the building, are re- movable granite slabs which make way for the muzzles Of guns.
 Just inside the walls of the build ing, and extending around all four sides, is q steel-lined hallway. on the inside. port holes command the interior of the building and remoV- able panels in the outer wall permit a raking fire on the streets below.
 Under the eye of armed guards is a. security court into which ar mored trucks, used in transporting money to and from the banks, ar, driven. Every square inch of tho court is within the range of fire from some part of the protectet corridor.

French Guinea. In a paper, read to
the Paris Academy of Sciences by
Professor Roux, director Of the Paris
Pasteur institute, Dr. Vibert describes
how he discovered the new microbe
in chimpanzees upon whom he was
experimenting. 1t is a spirochete, or
spiral bacillus, and causes a highly
infectious disease of epidemic char
acter bearing a close resemblance to
yellow fever. The discoverer also
found to his cost that it is trans
missible to man, for he contracted
the disease. 1t is, however, less
deadly to man than monkey, for the
doctor recovered, but the caimpa anzees
were carried off in few days.

WASHINGTON tF9 - Guadalajara
Mexico's second city, has streets paved
with gold. Refuse from an old gold
mine was mixed with the paving
asphalt. Later it was discovered thar
these despised scrappings contained
precious yellow metal and that $4,000
worth had been used in laying streets
Thus the ancient romance of this
plateau city was brought up to date.
Guadalajara has a population OF
10000 and is capital of the rich state
of Jalisco. The city's name means
Rocky River" a Moorish appellation
which the National Geographic So
cietyS traces to another town in old
Spain. The Mexican city, lying at
an elevation of over 5000 feet above
sea level, is one of the healthiest,
cleanest and pleasantest provincial
capitals in the land.
Saved from tropical heat by its ele-
vati0n, Guadalajara has sufficiently
warm a climate for its houses to be
chimneyless and built in hollow
squares around open patios Trees
are always green, flowers bloom in
profusion the year round. and birds
from as far north as Canada and
Alaska migrate thither for the Win
ter months.
Life in Guadalajara centers around
numerous open squares, chief among
which is the Plaza Mayor, where the
band plays after dinner in the eve
nings to a gay audience of prone
naders. On Sunday nights line of
benches separates the space occupied
by the elite from the poems, or COM
mon people.
Here also after church on Sunday
drive the beautiful senoritas with
their. chaperons, to the delight of ad-
mirerS in other conveyances or on
foot. Guadalajara is noted for it's
beautiful girls, many of whom have
brown or blond hair This is ac-
counted for by their reputed descent
from the ancient aristocracy of Spain
whose blood has been kept pure In
the new country.
When a Guadalajara beau picks
the Senorita of his choice he follows
her home and ''plays the bear" in
front of her window balcony. This
means he walks up and down the
sidewalk at certain hour every day
until he attracts her attention. In
due time if the lady is pleased she
may ask him to call, the entire FAM
lily being present on the occasion.
Foreigners unused to the custom are
said to find the Mexican mode OF
courtship difficult matter.
Facing the Plaza Mayor is the elab-
crate. facade of 18th century cathe-
dral which contains one of the city
treasures, an original Murillo version
of the Conception. The painting was
presented during the campaigns of
Napoleon by Charles w of Spain in
gratitude for support from the cathe-
dral4 chapter. Napoleon III tried in
vain to purchase it, and many at
tempts have been made to steal the
painting.
Gudalajara is outstanding among
Mexican cities for having few beggars
and fewer shops for selling the native
cactus beer. The cactus plant from
which the beer is made will not grow
in the state of Jalisco and the beer
itself does not bear shipping for long
distances.
The city's /, factories and neighSor-
hood mines support large and
wealthy resident society whose beau
tifuI homes adorn the suburbs. D1-
rect rail communication with Los An
geIest and San Francisco along Mex
ico's west coast brings many visitors
from this class to the resorts OF
southern California.
