Hoover party was escorted to grand
staircase of marble upon which ascent
was made to a gaudily decorated ball
room on the second floor of the build
ing. Here had been established tenn
porary art gallery for the display of
works by contemporary Costa Rican
artists. The exhibit had been held over
from an industrial exposition especially
for Mr.. Hoover's benefit
The Costa Rican-man as well as
woman-is fond of fine perfume, and
just before Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover en-
tered the exhibit room an agile attend
ant walked rapidly around the place
and sprayed eau de cologne into the air
with yard-long squirt gun, not unlike
the old-fashioned bicycle pump. This
pertaining process is reserved for ex-
traordinary guests, it was learned.
The exhibit was extremely interesting,
representative as it was of all schools
of modern and futuristic art in Central
America. Mr.. Hoover was attracted
particularly by painted poster bearing
his likeness in caricature, with an inset
showing him astride an elephant in
close pursuit of donkey bearing his
Democratic opponent, Alfred E. Smith.
Looked Like u. S. Politics.
"Hm-m-m Looks like American pol
itics are being played down here, too"
he remarked with a smile.
Miss Fesler, secretary to Mrs. Hoover
called the latter's attention to the pos
ter as they neared it moment later
with the exclamation:
"Oh, look! Senior Smith,
After lnScribing their names on
heavily bound registration volume, the
party proceeded downstairs again to the
auditorium and took their places at the
richly appointed horseshoe shaped ban
quet board. At each plate was a gold
engraved menu and place card. en-
bossed with the crossed flags Of the
United States and Costa Rica
The San Jose luncheon was most
elaborate. It seemed the courses of
luscious Central American dishes never
would end. An efficient army of wait
ers served the repaSt without confusion.
Throughout the meal marvellous
stringed orchestra, screened by draper
les, played selections of North and South
American and European composers.
Giant Strawberries.
When the dessert course, consisting of
giant strawberries, bananas, oranges and
specimens of that juicy, melonlike trop-
ical fruit, the papaya-had been served.
President Gonzales arose and, turning
to Mr.. Hoover. said:
Your mission was a happy inspira-
ton. This trip which you have taken
partly as means of study and partly as
means of recreation we hope will have
the greatest, most f1ourishing and
positive results for the betterment of
economic and political relations be-
tween the United States and other
peoples of our continent.
Our relations must be cemented
upon basis of mutual confidence for
perfect understanding and sincere and
sound friendship between our people
and your country"

is a recognized warning not to pass be-
You'd for fear of death.
At the first opportunity confronted
Aloique with the information.
''Suyas!" he said. "Suya Indians
killed Fawcett"
He then intimated that he also had
followed and found the signal which he
said Fawcctt had made.

wfD had put up the warning, but Aloi-
que shook his head and. as usual, had a
glib explanation to offer:
"Caraiba put up signal. String not
used by Indians. String belong to Ca

CaraibaS to show the road they had

Story Grows Involved.
The story was now getting involved
as Aloique had contradicted himself
several times. This was the first time
Alciquc laid the blame on the Suyas
! and admitted having been to the place
where Fawcett was killed 1t will be
recalled that originally he said the
! party died of thirst and that he had
only been one days journey beyond the
| Kuluene River.
There was no doubt but what had
| interpreted his story correctly on each
occasion it was told. The signs had to
! be repeated many times and passed

meaning I have attached to them.
AS the evening wore on our fatigued

fever. We hoped the cold would send
the Indians to their homes and give

! To our dismay one of them collected a
few sticks lying about the floor of the
| molaca and started a fire. This in

We settled down for another hour until

cred into a shapeless heap of ashes.
Almost Pull House to Bits for Fuel.
The supply of fuel seemed inexhausti-
BILE, and the fire once more started 10
blaze. In their efforts to provide warmth
! for their naked bodies the Indians had
started to pull the house to bits.
At II the following morning, we were
on our way to the Kuluene. There
was the usual pickering, discussion and
hesitation before starting, but those
earrings and other cheap jewelry had

For three hours we trudged the path

On arriving at the waters edge we

FRANCE IMPORTS NURSES

PARIS, February Cp.-France's in
fiuenza epidemic has become SO serious
that it has been found necessary to i'm
port nurses from England. This pro-
cedure ordinarily would be attended
with boundless red tape, but much OF
this has been dispensed with in the
present instance to facilitate treatment
of cases in Paris hospitals.
One hospital authority today esti-
mated about one-fifth of the Partisan
population were affected. Thus far most
of the cases have been mild, but in the
past two days there has been an in.
crease in pneumonia and bronchial
symptoms following influenza. There
has been corresponding increase in
the death rate.

his address In Spanish, but it was re-
peated Immediately in English by an
interpreter.
President-elect Hoover in his reply
paid tribute to Costa Rica'S practical
demonstration of its desire for peace,
mentioning the fact that most of the
nations soldiers were bandsmen and
that the standing army's strength was
less, numerically, than that of the
country's teaching forces. He referred
also to the Costa Rica's own your
own home" program, under which
nearly every family has farm Of its
own.
Nowhere do I know of greater and
more proved example of the benefits to
mankind of our common institutions
than those which have been accom-
plished through the hands of the people
Of Costa Rica. Their advancement OF
human welfare is well known to my
country"
Mr.. Hoover was accorded a deafen-
ing ovation when he arose to speak
and when he completed his short ad-
dress. His speech was applauded upon

Following the luncheon the party
was taken for a tour Of the city. The
route led through the Avenida Central.

two-story stucco buildings were gayly

The trip ended at railroad station,
several blocks distant from the point
where the party had alighted. The
special train had been backed to this
depot, and In so doing, 1t was learned
had run over native boy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoover were not advised Of the
accident.
The return journey was made in less
than the four hours consumed on the
uphill trip. Dusk had set in as the
train moved off, and the sinking sun
transformed the countryside into an
artistic silhouette so beautiful that 1t
seemed unreal.
President Gonzales paid Mr.. Hoover
the great honor Of accompanying him
back to Puntarenas. and the uneventful
train ride was spent in friendly con-
ference aboard the comfortable private
car.
Senior Gonzales babe a most cordial
farewell to Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover and
their companions when the train eased
up to the wharves in the night blanketed
town, and the party made its way
slowly through dense crowds gathered
to see the Americans off.
The Marylands boats were waiting
at the dock, and without further ado
the goodwill mission turned its back
reluctantly on Central America and set
out for the shadowy outlines of the
anchored battleship which was to carry
them on to the great continent below
the equator.
