PASSPORTS

We have had so many requests
for information concerning pass
ports and visaS that we have de-
cided to deal with this subject in
today'S article.
Those contemplating their first
trip abroad are often scared by
the very mention of passport and
visa formalitieS, many because
friends have told them narrowing
tales of the discomfort and incon-
venience entailed in procuring
these necessary documents. We
have never experienced these un-
fortunate encounters and never
expect to do so. For, like all other
sensible travellers, passport and
viSaS are always attended to long
before the date of sailing.
So the first thing to do IS to
attend to passport formalities and
then to acquaint oneself with the
visaS customs of the countries one
intends to visit. Tourist agencies
will help, of course, in securing
these visas if the traveller books
through them.
PASSPORT BUREAUS
In every large city there Is a
passport bureau where the prospec.
tive traveller can file application
for his or her passport. Evidence
Of citizenship must be submitted
in the form of a birth certificate,
affidavitS or naturalization papers.
Passport photos must accompany
the application. The fee is $40.
Usually the passport comes
through from Washington in about
a week. Then starts the collection
Of viSaS.
It is good to know that many
countries have eliminated visa fees
altogether. But that does not
mean that it isn't necessary to OBJ
tain a visa from the consulate of
these countries. One cannot enter
any country without having previ-
ously obtained a visa from the
accredited representative Of that
country, whether there is a fee or
not. Countries offering viSas with.
out fee include Switzerland, Italy,
Holland, Japan, several South
American countries and Czecho-
slovakia.
While the visa fee for Great

the permanent chairman.
Smell, however, convinced a SUI
ficient majority of the party lead
ers that he should be named chair
man because of his influence in
the East. So Steiwer was named
keynoter.
To have Steiwer as keynoter is
not agreeable to the Liberals as
they had the job Of permanent
chairman picked for him. They
wanted q woman as keynoter.
Their selection was Representa-
tive Florence Kahn, Republican
Of California.
Witty, wise. and politically as
tute, Mrs. Kahn was the favorite
of the Liberals not only because
Of her ability but because they
believed a woman keynoter would
have done much toward recruiting
the votes Of the women in the
nation.
Knowing that the feminine vote
will be extremely important in the
next presidential election, they
planned to use Mrs. Kahn.
The conservatives out-voted the
liberals, however, with the result
that Mrs. Kahn was eliminated
from the picture and Smell was
named convention chairman.

nomadic herdsmen with 1000, 900
square miles for their cattle,
their sheep and their tents Of
skins and, Of course, their tough
fibered ponies.
After a lapse Of TOO years, the
MongolS bid fair again to make
some history. Genghis Khan be-
gan as a boy Of 10 to fight for
control Of the tribal lands left
him by his father. Now the Mon.
golian state, in it's thirteenth year
as a republic without a president,
is doing a little fighting and pre-
pairing for a lot more. If war
breaks out in the East they will
get it. ..-,
What some people expect Is
that the MongolS and the Man
churians will do the starting and
Russia and Japan will be in It
before it is finished. Genghis Khan
is no more than a legend in Mon
golia and all that is left of his
empire is the million miles Of
grazing lands and desert which
we mentioned above.
Marco Polo. visiting Mongolia
a generation or two after the
death Of Genghis Khan, wrote Of
the conqueror that Gin the siege
of a castle named Thaigin he was
struck by an arrow in the knee,
and dying Of the wound, was
buried in the mountain Of Altai. -
Another version Of his death is
that at the age Of IS, while cam
paigning in western China, he
read o sign In the heavens as fore.

Britain and her colonial posses.
sions is still $40, China has cut
her admission fee from that sum to
$3.50. Germany has cut her fee
to so cents and Austria has made
a big reduction. Hungary has
waived all visa fees for July and
August for Americans attending
music festivals there. Americans
visiting France, If they Intend TO
remain less than Is days, pay only
IS cents. IF longer visit is con-
templated, then there is a two
year visa for 1885.
Soviet Russia now is attract.
ing some visitors and their appli'
cations must be cabled to Russia
where permission to visit the coun.
try is granted from Moscow. This
is the only instance where a visa
cannot be granted at once from
duly accredited representatives Of
the various countries, all Of which
maintain conSulates in large Amer.
lean towns.
.,. BERMUDA
American visitors to Bermuda,
the Bahamas, Barbados and Qua
temala require neither passport
nor visa. This also applies to Can
ada and the maritime provinces,
although it isn't a bad idea to
have with one some documentary
evidence. birth certificate being
best Of all. For Mexico, the trav.
eler will require an Identification
certificate. but some South Amer
lean countries still require police
and health certificates. This list
is now being revised, several coun.
tries having decided to ease their
admission regulations. No doubt
the tourist agencies will soon be
in possession of this information.
In some instance. too, visa fees
are being eliminated altogether.
All this is along the lines of stimu.
lating tourist traffic in South
America.
For those making cruise trips, it
is nice to know that viSaS are not
required from visitors making
sightseeing trips while the vessel IS
in port. The purSer hands pas
Sengers a document which asks for
particulars of citizenship and ma
tionality if not citizen.

IMPRESSIVE

When the Democratic national
convention is over, the two can
didates, Franklin D.. Roosevelt
and probably John Nance Gar
ner, will be notified of their Sc
lection at a joint notification ses-
sion.
The ceremonies probably will
be at Franklin Field or some
other arena where thousands Of
interested persons may be &C
commodated.
It will be the first time in his
tory that joint notification ses-
sion of this type has occurred.
When Roosevelt and Garner
were nominated prior to the last
campaign, the present Chief Elk
ecutive went to the convention by
plane to receive his notification.
Garner accepted by letter.
In years gone by, Theodore
Roosevelt and Hiram johnson

peared on the scene in 1920. The
Japanese aided the White Rus
slams, and the BolShevikS joined
the forces with the MongolianS.
The fighting was fierce while it
lasted and the outcome was the
formation Of the Peoples Revolu-
tionary Government of Mongolia.
Observers in the East have the
idea that there will be no war
in that sector while the status
of Outer Mongolia is in doubt.
They do not think that Japan
could afford to embark upon one
with the knowledge that the de-
scendants Of Genghis Khan will
go riding forth against her. Not

enough for the Tartars who love
to kill and who know how to

Rhodes Will Serve
AS Fall Festival
General Manag ger

w. H. Rhodes, director of the Ell
Centro chamber Of commerce, will
serve as general manager Of FL
Centro's eighth annual fall festival
October "a, and of the first dollar
day November IA. He was appoint
ed by Walter Havekorst, president
of the chamber Of commerce, to
take the place of Fred Kenyon,
who left Monday for a two-month
absence.
The new general manager said
he accepted the post as a favor to
Fred Kenyon. He declared he re-
quired the cooperation of everyone
in El Centro if the events are to
be successful
He especially asked the support
of retail merchants in decorating
windows and store interiors and of
the wholesalers, manufacturers and
jobbers in the Main street fair.
Rhodes is making canvass of all
schools in Imperial Valley to per
suade them to enter the school
parade during the fall festival. In
past years this parade has been one
of the highlights Of the celebration
because almost the entire school
population of the southern half Of
the valley could be found in the
line of march.
