Ottawa, Jan, 7--lP)-Increased as

Volstead act will be asked by repre-
sentativcs of the United States at a
conference opening tomorrow. The
general purpose of the conference is

probably bring forth strong opposl-
ton. 1t is generally accepted that
action along those lines would require
an amendment to the Canada United

and the Dominion parliament would
not likely agree to such an amend

GGM HOOVER nk "a:
~ Latin AmeriCd4z9t

Ipetition is the camera; the Germans
.sell cameras here, too.
The popular sport of this section
of Chile is soccer. Even villages OF
so or 100 persons have their teams.
In Copiapo there is also an outdoor
basketball court and some tennis.
Gambling is popular, as through
out Latin America The town games
are baccarat and poker, played with
Spanish cards with swords, vcge-
tables aGd such articles on the faces.
Scores Of dice games are played.
An American mining man here
some years ago taught the youth Of
the countryside to shoot craps and
male Copiapans still like the game,
but their own variations show in
finite Imagination. Your corre-
spondent learned game called Ell
Captain Mando.
The social center Of Copiapo is the
Club Social. Here in the evening
enc can find anyone of importance,
though there is also radical club
in town. The bar of the Club So
cial has rail on which men put
their feet, though nearly all Latin
American drinking is still done at
tables.
1t was thence that your correspon-
dent was led to meet leading citi-
zens of Copiapo and to be inter-
viewed by the editor of FL Amigo del
Pals, third oldest newspaper in Chile,
with circulation of 1000.
Your correspondent then proceed
ed to interview the editor. Event
ually he asked him what Copiapo
thought about prohibition in the
United States. The editor replied
that it must be inconvenient, but
that everyone knew it wasn't abso-
Lutte.
He spoke with wink of speak
easies and proceeded to tell the story
Of an American farmer who was sent
to Jail for many years for operating
a still, whereupon his daughter had
to go to work for the judge who had
sentenced him, serving drinks night
ly in his home. Funny how such
yarns get down here to Copiapo!
Is
Mining and farming are Copiapo's
principal pursuits The rancheros
have their ranches outside Of town,
raising grain and cattle. There are
plants here with a high content of
fannie acid, especially algarrobilla.
American goods are handled by
local houses, so the only American
firm functioning on the spot is
the American Smelling & Refining
Co., which handles a third of the
worlds lead and copper, with mines
and smelters in the United States;
Canada, Mexico and Peru.
In Copiapo, it buys from small
native miners. A few natives go
out together to dig ore to sell the
company. Sometimes a man goes
out with his family; he digs and his
wife and kids sort the ore, which is
then brought to Copiapo on burros.
The ore is then shipped to the Unit
ed States for smelling.
