Three Minute Journeys

>the Malecon, a beautiful drive
edged with flowers and multiCol
ored shrubs. The city itself is
colorful with buildings Of blue,
pink or yellow Moorish stucco.
FrontleSs shops in the shadow OF
arcadeS are filled with treasures.
There are friendly sidewalk
cafes sheltered by overhanging
balconies. There are airy roof
gardens, cafes. restaurants and a
good hotel. Well guarantee that
the taste of the Ecuadorian pine
apple will appeal to you.
An interesting trip is from
Guayaquil to Quito. Although the
cities are connected by plane. the
train journey is worth while.
The train pierces deep jungle
land and plantations, passes can
yonS, waterfalls, climbs noun
tains, roars across Panama
plateaus and finally puffS into
Quito, lying almost on the equator.
Quito antedates the white mans
discovery of America, and its eX-
act age is unknown. And so it
isn't surprising to find that a
strange air of mystery clings to
the entire city, even to the most
modern sections.
HOME OF PANAMA HAT
The city market is colorful. In
dian women sit on the sidewalk
spinning, shops offer everything.

Panama hat, for is not Ecuador

Cuenca and, early in the morning,

see the natives weaving the straw,
Many travellers returning from
Quito stop over at the famous Ha-
cienda Rio Negro. resting at an ele'
walton of 5000 feet above sea level,
near the Falls of Agoyan. The
scenery is gorgeous, all that one ex'
poets of South America. The trails
are lined with trees around which
great clumps of orchids Irvine.
There are alligatorS, bears and
jungleS full of brightly plumaged
birds, huge gaudy butterflies and
chattering monkeys. The Colorful
Indian tribes stage fairs and there
are fieStas and one can join parties
and visit the head hunters Of
Jivaro. The streams are full OF
fish, and the days are full of de-
light. What traveller could ask for

"Odd" McIntyre's back of those
wordS-as he's back of so much
that's fine and comforting. He
was speaking of those brief, bright
releases that come to all of us
when, suddenly, our human weak
ness drops away, and for an in
slant we tap strange, new stores of
strength. Joyce Kilmer'S lovely
poem, "'Trees," he said, was writ
ten at such a time. Caught, mi
raculouSly, out of the blue-Set
down, word for word, without al
tering.
James Whitcomb Riley, too,
sometimes found his way into
that larger, lovelier life. "It was"
wrote "Odd," his chiefest Sc
curity that somewhere, just be-
yond mans feeble groupings, were
beauty and culture of which he
had never dreamed"
FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH
There, I believe, is the deepest
truth in our human life. Not just
mystery for the favored and en-
lightened few who have time to
probe metaphysics but funda-
mental fact for the simplest and
most ignorant truth that
would "set us all free" if we had
the faith to receive it, the cour-
age to apply it.
I do mott will not-believe
that this limited, painful con-
seriousness is all there is to human
life. I do mott will not-believe
that a mans power goes no fur
ther than the narrow boundaries

passed and the last sparkling light
had thrown showers of silver into
the air-the ball, the music, the
satin slippers of the debutantes
twirIing to the waltz tunes of this
last night Of revelry."
The advent of Huey Long and
a new day, wholly disagreeable
to Mrs. Hammond, is projected
against this backdrop of a lei
sured, cultured day and time. Mrs
Hammond's father had grounded
her deeply in veneration of Amer
lean institutions. He used to say
to her:
"YOu cannot fool with Uncle
Sam. Uncle Sam tOlerates no
foOIishness."
But she has come to think, at
times, Uncle Sam tolerates a great
deal which he might well make
his business.
Mrs. Hammond headed State
women's committee to fight Sen.
ator Long and his organization.
Their battle came to climax with
the seating of Senator Overton.
They briefed their case with evi.
dence, prescriptions and affida,
Wits which they confidently ex,
pected would sink the enemy with.
out a trace, and they sent Mrs,
Hammond to Washington,
CURIOUS CHAPTER
Her story of how she was gen.
thy and courteously sidetracked by
one ornate and imposing Senator
after another is a curious chapter
of American political history.
There were plenty of statesmen
who hated the Kingfish like poi
son. There was none who dared
tangle with him.
Mrs. Hammond found in this en-
counter in Washington, extending
over several years, governmental
zeal for safeguarding States rights
which has not been otherwise OBJ
servahle in recent years.
There was a noble regard for
the Constitution and the restraints
which it places upon Federal in
trusion in lesser political units.
The detailed story of how Huey
Long gained and held power in
Louisiana, and his successful de
fiance of State, Federal and po-
litical opposition has been elab-
orately told elsewhere. Mrs. Ham
mond condenses it in a compact
and documented narrative. In eff
feet she says:
"SOme of us in New Orleans be-
Iieved in America and in Ameri-
can institutions. We desperately
sought aid from all believers in
America and from our national
Government. We did not get it.
We lost. What about it,"
But she intends to fight on. She
comes from fighting stock. To
help finance her battle against
Senator Long, she sold her most
treasured family heirlooms.
She went about begging, hat in
hand, SO to speak, from important
business men and corporation
heads who wanted to see Long
licked, but who turned pale at the
very thought that their real Senti,
ment might leak out.
Now she catches her breath and
runs up a new banner with an
old defiance:
81 have just begun to fight"

ANOTHER STORY

Now that he's gone, one Of the
BARRIERS tells this story on Tom
Blanton.
Several years ago when Wash
ington won the pennant, Repre-
sentative Blanton dropped in to
get a haircut and asked the
barber if he was going to the
game. The barber said no. very
mournfully, explaining that he
didn't have a ticket.
An hour later a ticket and a
cigar was delivered with Toms
compliments.

COSTS FOR LABOR

in Joining Congressional
Relief Discussion.

With opposing groups in Congress
debating relief expenditures, Secre-
tary of Interior Ickes today joined the
discussion to authorize statement of
the percentage of labor costs involved
In material for P. w. A. projects.
Our best guess" said the Secretary,
In the capacity of public works ad-
ministrator, lis that the amount re-
ceived by workers is at least 70 per
cent of the cost"
In the case of two industries"
1ckes explained, "the Department of
Labor has undertaken extensive re-
search to determine the amount of
employment created in production of
materials, ranging from extraction
through fabrication. Using these fig
ures as basis, the P. w. A. has COM
puted the percentage of labor for the
iron and steel industry to be 865 of
the total cost of materials. With re-
spect to the cement industry, the per-
centage is 406."
The Bureau of Public Roads, Ickes
continued. has published reports
showing 71.2 per cent of all money
spent for materials used on highway
construction accrues to labor employed
in the mining, manufacting and
transportation of materials"
Computations based on figures coll
lected by the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics, he declared, give an average per
centage of 33.1 for all types. The per-
centage of material costs going to
labor in the textiles industry is 224:
forest products, All; chemicals and
allied products, 14.1; stone, clay and
glass products. 303; non-ferrous
metals, 23.4; machinery, excluding
transportation equipment, 331;
