suggested In any American city, but
they are certainly impressive to every
visitor.
British residents of Rio consider
ably outnumber American inhabi-
tants, Just as British investments In
Brazil are still much larger than
ours. In both cases, however, the
ratio Is changing. Rio Is especially
hospitable to its American colony and
this Is one Of the two South Ameri-
can capitals where the United States
has a naval mission. The other Is
Lima.
Brazil unquestionably wastes more
ciphers than any other ten countries
combined This is the fault Of the
coin known as the milreis. Eight
milreis are worth about dollar, but
every milreis is composed Of 1000
reis. You have to have 400 reis be-
fore you have a nickel. This causes
no great embarrassment, but In adj
vertisements and price tags q mat
ter of $3.50, let's say, becomes 100,-
600, all of which Is at first rather
confusing to Americans on their first
shopping tour in Rio.
There are Jim Grow street cars
here, but as Brazil legally draws no
color line they are merely first and
second -class conveyances, priced ac-
cordingly. First-class passengers
must wear coats and neckties. Pajama
coats are legally recognized as coats
! and sometimes an aspiring native
will get into a first-class car instead
of second-cla by tying a shoe string
around his neck.
| The street cars are all known as
"bondys," the name arising from the
bond issue which created the lines
years ago.
Nine American motion picture
companies are represented In Rio, as
against only three branch offices for
European film concerns.
Some hotels along the Rio water
front, notably the Copacabana Palace
and the Gloria. are as fine as any
others on the North or South Amer
lean continent.

eautiful entrance to the harbor Of r

MARKSNANSHTP
IMPROVES IN
MEXICO

NoGALEs. Sonora, Mexico, May Z
Il. N. s.l.-Traditionally inaccurate,
the marksmanship Of the Mexican
soldier has nevertheless improved
considerably within the past few
years.
It is jestingly ssaid-perhaps not
without exaggeration--that the SAT-
est position on battlefield in Mex
leo is squarely in front Of the
enemy's rifles and that men are
usually killed by accident, rarely on
purpose.
During the engagement az Naco,
Sonora, in the present revolution
only about rs attacking rebels out
Of an army of more than 5000, were
killed, while the entrenched tederals
lost no more than five men. This.
despite the fact that the battle
ragged from sunup until late after
noon.
200 Dead at MaEatIan
In the siege Of Mazatlan, one Of
the fiercest engagements Of the revo.
luton. involving some 1000 troops,
the most liberal estimate of casual.
ties placed the dead at 200 on both
sides.
Only In the decisive operations on
the Jimenez Chihuahua. front did
the estimated casualties total ap.
proximate figures of battle in por-
tfnaa of rayn,.lA xsyhnra mora fin0d.
ern methods of warfare prevail.
And at that, subsequent develo p.
ments proved both federal and rebel
statistical claims to be fantastically
exaggerated.
Greatest Danger
Observers on the firing line at
Naco when the rebel Gen. Fausto
Topete sent his columns into a de-
termined push against the powerful
federal Notifications. stated that
there appeared to be greater danger
from federal bullets at distance of
1000 yards than at 500 yards.
This is explained by the entrenched
soldiers disinclination to lift their
heads above the breastworks in or
der to take aim.
Despite this incompetency with
firearms. however. old-timers along
the Mexican border aver that the
Mexican soldier of today is a much
better marksman, and a much bet
ter soldier, for that matter. than
his predecessor of 10 or Is years ago.
In those days Il is related. two
opposing divisions would fire at each
other all day without drawing a
single drop of blood.
