Journey
RIO DE JANEIRO

II you don't mink CnaC Tying
down to Rio" is more than a
phrase, then go to, the airport at
Miami and watch the eager trav.
elers set out for Rio by air. The
trip takes them to Puerto Rico,
Trinidad and Para, the rubber CEN
ter of Brazil, and over tropic seas,
magic islands, forest and jungle.
The trip ends at one Of the most
beautiful cities on earth, Rio de
Janeiro. ....-
It is thrilling to fly high above
the delta of the Amazon, a delta
twice as wide as Lake Erie. Curl
Gus river boats mark the landing
at Para, the airport OF entry for
Brazil, which is just three flying
days out of Miami.
Para is a strange place. Twenty
years ago it controlled the worlds
supply of rubber, and the streams
of "black gold" built an incredible
city. Today the jungle forms a
setting for the once-grand houses
and hotels, a ghost city haunted
by rich yesterday.
Brazil offers, perhaps, more in
scenic beauty than any Of the 80
lands that make up Central and
South America. A quarter Of mil
lion square miles larger than the
United States, it covers half OF the
entire southern continent.
It is q land that few travellers
reached until the airplane blaZed
a new travel trail. Looking down
over this virtually untouched
world, we sight mysterious miles
Of jungle rivers, glistening coral
beaches, a hundred miles In
length, tiny, isolated villages, cara
vans Of bullock carts, seaports
hamlets and cities.

Real Public Service

Mr. Edgar Morris retires from the presidency of
"A the Washington Board of Trade he can look back
with satisfaction the record which that organization
established under his leadership.
Under the direction of Mr. Morris the board during
the last year has been in the forefront of civic and trade
organizations contributing to the advancement of the
National Capital and the happiness and prosperity of
its citizens.
While the board has been active in the consideration
of all of the manifold problems which arise in city
governed is Washington there have been several out
standing contributions made by it during the year.
Notable among these has been the care with which
the organization prepared evidence for submission to
the Presidents Advisory Committee on Fiscal Relations
and the in which it has fought before congress
sona committees in effort to bring about equitable
fiscal relations between the two governments
Of similar Importance is the vigorous manner in
which the board has srven to improve the condition
of the Potomac River eliminating in the creation of
the Potomac Valley Joint Conference on River Pollution
which unites the States and communities along the river
in cooperative effort.
Few reports of civic organizations have been as de-
tailed and comprehensive that of the board dealing
with the proposal to establish a subway system here
The activities touch only few of the highights of
the board under the leadership of Mr. Morris but thew
illustrate the tremendous service which he has rendered
the community.
With the termination of Mr. Morris's term as pres-
dent Mr.. Edward F. Coaday succeeds to the leader
ship of the board.
Those who are familiar with the lengthy public serv-
ice of Mr. Coaday in other capacities confident that
he will continue the excellent work carried on under
Mr.. Morris.

A wwWw, that's old stuff" you say. And we
IA agree with you But because it's spring. and
most people are practicing only their golf, we feel
there is real need to remind our readers and our
selves that there is carload of truth in that "old
stuff"
These two old wheezes, "practice makes per-
feet" and 'if at first you don't succeed try, try
again." are at the bottom of more success stories
than are luck or the sudden death of rich uncles.
Since baseball season has made people baseball
minded, we choose a baseball hero to illustrate our
text. The hero is Robert William Andrew Feller,
1S-year-o son of farmer from Van Meter, Iowa.
Times baseball fans have read about 'Strikeout"
Teller in our sports section-we ask their pardon
for retelling his story here.
Asa kid Bob Teller was just like million other
American kids who love baseball. There was this
difference:
Bob Feller's father knew the value of PRAC-
TICE. He took his son out behind barn every
morning, every late afternoon after school, played
catch with the boy.
At II, young Bob was holding down a regular

berth on an American Legion team. At 13, he was
a better ballplayer than most men in Iowa.
But still his father made the boy practice, prac-
tice, always practice. He laid out field on his
wheat farm, organized team called the Oak
Views At is, young Bob struck out 161 grown
players in ten games. Practice was beginning to
make perfect"
AS he grew older, developed more control and
speed, his pitching was hard to hold. Practicing
his fast hop out back of the barn, young Bob
winged one into his fathers mitt that hoped out,
broke three of his fathers ribs.
An official of the Cleveland American League
Indians found young Teller in the summer Of 1885.

tory way, to be sure, is concerning
itself with the question of low-paid
diplomats, but chiefly those in
the lowest brackets. OF the 909
minor employees in our 345 foreign
posts, only 81 get more than $500
year. A living wage for such
employees is, of course, important,
but the question of pay for diplo-
mats in the higher levels is still
wide open.
There have been recently re-
peated comments on the fact that
in America the higher ambassa-
dorial posts go to faithful party
servitors who happen to have
money enough to support a for
eign embassy in the style to which
it has been accustomed. This Is
unfavorably contrasted to the
British and French career Sys-
TENS, where the training for
diplomacy is longer and more rig.
orous than that to which we sub
NIT doctors, lawyers or engineers.
The answer, it is suggested, is to
raise our career service UP to
the higher posts and pay sal
aries which will attract men OF
the highest capacities.
CAREER" DIPLOMACY
It is true that we have sent
many arthritic old party hacks to
important foreign posts, and that
they have been rocked, trimmed,
gouged and dry-cleaned by the
suave professionals. But, as this
writer sees it, the historic back
ground of diplomacy is such that
the career diplomacy" answer
doesn't quite fill the bill.
Go back to the pre-war years
say, to 1911 and 1912, the days OF
the Agadir and AIgeciras crisis.
Europe was swarming with bril-
liantly educated. professional dip
lomats, and, as later records
showed, every last man Jack OF
them was dealing under the table
The most resounding bust Of the
World War was the utter failure
of diplomacy-and it was career
diplomacy, at that.
