TOURISTS BIG AID
TO CUBAN TRADE
Pearl Of Antilles important
as Winter Playground.
Country Prosperous.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 22.-Cuba has
just finished cleaning up on new crop
the tourist business of the Winter
world. Indications from business men
now in close contact with Cuban affairs
are that the Pearl of the Antilles will
find this new source of revenue more
profitable than the sugar or tobacco
crops which have helped make the is
land famous.
The results of the best tourist year
Cuba has ever had are now apparent
and give perhaps the best assurance of
the stability of conditions in the island
republic.
Cuba undoubtedly will make strong
effort to have the tariff wall on sugar
lowered at the special session of Con-
gress now in progress at Washington.
But few in touch with the situation ex-
pect to find any repercussion affecting
the foreign trade Of the United States
and Cuba in event Of the failure of the
Mussolini of Caribbean.
President Machado will be inaugural
ed for another six-year term on May
20. His supporters allude to him as the
Mussolini of the Caribbean. While he
undoubtedly carries tremendous power
in his own country, he is not oblivious
to the huge investments of American
capital in Cuba and the influx of money
which has done much to put the bust
ness conditions of Cuba on a sound
basis in the last six months.
There is no question but that these
factors impose a very real restraint
on the present Cuban administration.
Not the least of these is the Federal
Reserve System, which, through its
Atlanta district, maintains branch in
Cuba. American tourists spent over a
billion dollars in foreign travel in the
last year and Cuba received a greater
proportion during the last four months
than ever before.
The expenditure next Winter in Cuba
and the Isle of Pines by tourists Is ex-
pected to exceed $100,000,000. So great
have been the numbers of visitors that
the big hotel chains of America are
planning to expand facilities in the
island.
Great Highway System.
The country is constructing sys-
tenn of stone and concrete highways
which would do credit to any American
State system. The stone for these ship
ments is coming by the trainload daily
from Stone Mountain, near Atlanta.
The cost of this system will be nearly
$100,000,000.
The people of Cuba are beginning to
realize the importance Of their country
as a Winter playground and their tenn
permanent is such that reception of
visitors has been delight rather than
pure business deal, although they do
not overlook the profits. Those who
have wintered there in recent years
say there is a notable lack of the
night club" atmosphere with its greet
ing Hello, suckers" as compared with
the European attitude. Men who are
investing in Cuba maintain that the
movement there attained a volume
which nothing can stop except the re-
peal Of the prohibition amendment.

Continental's Rocky Mountain market

virtually have a coast-to-coast chain OF

The company was organized in 1920
by e. w. Marland, who resigned as
president OF the company last October
At that time he announced he was con-
tinuing as director and stakeholder
More recently he obtained control OF
Ponca City Oil Co. and changed the
name to E. w. Marland Co., Inc. This

Machine Works Like the Brain.

The piece of machinery which oper-
ates more like the brain than any other
is the automatic telephone The tele-
voX is more spectacular, but its work is
limited. In the operation of the auto
matte telephone the selection is made in
the same way-by a series of number
signals rung, in succession by small
contact point behind the telephone dial
as it turns. But instead of the hundred
separate signal combinations that the
televox can understand, the telephone
system has place for nearly 10 billions.
Yet even this vast sum the human
brain exceeds. The number of living
nerve cells in the surface gray matter
of the brain is more than 5000, 00O, 900.
If it be assumed that these can be con-
nected to one another in the same
fashion as telephone subscribers are-a
process that experts agree is probably
something like what happens during
thinking-the number of possible inter-
connections would be about 10000, 000,-
000, 900, 600, 900.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Cotton opened
steady today at decline of to Is
points under a renewal of last weeks
movement, which was stimulated by
relatively easy cables and favorable
view of weather conditions in the South.

selling at 1875 and December at 1921.
In the case of July contracts, which
sold at 1909, the market showed de-

price touched toward the end of March,
and part of the early buying was sup

Chicago's Coming Centennial.

The centennial celebration proposed
for 1888 at Chicago seems to be as
sured and already some of the prepara-
lions are being made The program
includes the greatest agricultural con-
vention ever held, the preliminaries OF
which are being started by Rufus c.
Dawes. It is the plan to make a COM
plete inventory of all the food supplies
and production of mankind. This is
something that has never before been
attempted, Mr.. Dawes said.
Chicago really owes its existence to
the farmers and agriculture and our
fair would not be proper celebration
if we failed to take advantage of the
opportunity to stage the greatest agri-
cultural congress the world has ever
known here in 1885," he declared. mfr
Estabrook is the man who reorganized
the agricultural statistics of Argentina,
and I feel confident that he, as an
American, will do everything possible
to cooperate with us in our plan for
great farm congress here in $685."
