alone. At least one long journey Is
taken each year.
Four times he has circled the globe
each time taking . new route and
seeing new countries. He believes he
has visited every country in the
world that Is worthy Of the name.
Japan, India, New Zealand, Java, and
Africa, are among hts favorite sites
for discussion. A wireless message
stating that an epidemic Of green
malaria" IS raging in Ceylon drew his
attention. He was all over the island
a few years ago." Abyssinia, Tibet,
Tanganyika, and the Grasshopper
Glacier Of Yellowstone Park are
equally familiar to him.
Among the many practical ohserva-
tions recently made by him, two are
outstanding: Cotton fields Develop
ing along the Blue Nile (Soudan) over
many millions Of acres, q new dam
like the one at Assuan having recent
ly been completed; and enormous to-
bacco plantations in Rhodesia to
which Americans have transplanted
the Virginia tobacco seed. Due to the
cheap labor at hand he feels con-
vinced that these industries may ex-
pect serious consequences in the
United States.
He'd Been There, Too
Someone asked a question about
Pernambuco yesterday. He said: II
don't know how 1t Is now but when
I spent few days there back in 1918
1t was $50 and So). I shall stop
over there q day or two when fly
back to Miami from Rio next week!
Oh, yes, I shall take q side trip up
the Amazon at Para" What q man!
To breed wanderlust!
February 7th (Thursday):
The usual Captains dinner" took
place last night. That means this
section of the journey Is over soon.
We are requested to have our baggage
! packed this evening and ready for
early landing tomorrow at Rio. Most
of the passengers leave the Southern
Prince" at Rio while q smaller num-
Der 60 on to Buenos Aires. There
the Southern Prince" turns about
and returns to New York. A fancy
dress parade was held on deck after
dinner. How the womenfolk could
contrive such marvellous ca toilettes
out Of their suitcases is b mystery to
a mere man. However, the women
weren't the only ones. The mems
first prize was captured by the lanky
six foot three Englishman, previous
~ mentioned, Of our round table. He
wore q lloop-skirt, was barefoot and
afflicted with diversified what-you-
may-call-'em in front Of his ribs. All
this, In combination with q perfect
mimicry in action, was scream. The
captain, in q dignified manner and
with q broad Scotch brogue, distrib-
uted diplomas to all who recently
qualified for them. Neptune's own
signature was on each diploma.
Has Touched Only Highspots
It is we'll this journey approaches
an end. This hit.and-miss sort Of
diary has become inexcusably long.
Many interesting personalities and
events have been omitted. For in

American Union, to make q survey Of
sanitary conditions throughout South
America, q great compliment to Unit
