Der Of the latter had been delayed in
starting from Callao and the chaufeurS
had found the boulevard crowded with
private automobiles speeding toward
Lima. One of the delayed cars con-
tanned the American cameramen, who
were to have followed alongside the
Hoover automobile as 1t entered the
capital All the private cars in front
had to be checked through the toll
gate, one by one, before the remaining
official automobiles could get through.
The ride carried the party through
a section of open farming country,
fenced in with gray adobe walls and
spotted with small huts of adobe.
Groups of children with American
flags waved as the machines sped by.
In the outskirts of Lima the auto
mobiles passed under banners bearing
words of welcome and past buildings
gayly draped with the flags of the
United States and Peru.
The approach was through new
residential section, whose homes were
of adobe, succeed white, with pretty
patios shaded by graceful palms and
luxurfarit with flowers. The crowds
that lined the route increased as the
procession neared the center of the
city, and the narrow streets OF the an
cient section of the city around the
Plaza de San Martin were so densely
populated that the spectators had diff
Guilty elbowing their way along the.
sidewalks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover were driven di-
rect to the American embassy, while

others of their party were taken to the
magnificent Bolivar Hotel, where rooms
had been reserved. This hosiery, one
of the most modern in South America,
was erected not long ago by private cap
ital, it was learned, but the government
was now supporting it because, although
a losing proposition, 1t was deemed a
national asset.
Mr.. Hoover's immediate official circle
was to have lunch with President Leguia
at the embassy, and the other men,
bers of his party, including correspond
ents and photographers, were invited to
state luncheon at the Geological Park,
where there was prominent restaurant.
In the meantime there was shopping
to do and considerably to the surprise
of all it was found that most of Lima'S
shops were open, despite the holiday.
1t was joyful discovery. for efforts to
collect souvenirs in the other places Wis
tied had been frustrated by the sus-
pension of business. On inquiry it was
learned that the shops had been per-
mitted to remain open for the special
benefit of the Hoover party.
Before lunchtime many members OF
the mission had collected all sorts OF
bundles containing Indian rugs, Inca
pottery. silverware and otTler native OBJ
jects of art.
It was a very profitable morning for
Limas numerous dealers in Peruvian
antiquities, but one which left them
nearly exhausted Striking bargain
by means of the sign language requires
real mental and physical exertion, they
found.

GUNS FOR CRUISERS
WILL EMPLOY MANY
NAVY Yard Would Be Assured
of Abundant Work on
Construction.

Construction of the guns for the Is
new cruisers authorized by Congress,
but for which the appropriation has
not yet been made, will provide the
Washington Navy Yard with abundant
work over the period during which the
ships will be under construction. 1t
was learned today. All the guns for the
new ships will be made in the local
yard, the only naval gun factory IN
the country.
This work, with the regular replace
ment work which has for the last two
or three years kept upward OF 1000
skilled mechanics busy at the yard. will
assure at least four or five years OF &C
tivity at the present rate, or at a
slightly increased rate, 1t was stated.
Guns for the eight cruisers previously
authorized under the current cruiser
program are now being made at the
factory.
How much larger the force must be to
undertake the work of manufacturing
the guns for the new cruisers was not
known at the Navy Yard today.
