Cruises
Continued From First Page.)

World, or an American can tour
over 1t with his own State registra-
ton and see a big country that
merits its proud title of THE Pearl
of the Antilles"
Most cruises begin their ports of
call at Nassau on New Providence
Island. The British capital of all
the 700 or so Bahama Islands and
Gays has flavor that is distinctive.
1t is the headquarters of the sponge
fishermen and turtle hunters and
of Americans who go south to play
with the big game" fish to the
Gulf Stream. Nassau Is dignifled
and fashionable, but 1t is permeated
with the color and picturesque pic
turesqueness Of its long history Of
piracy, blockade-running and rum
running. 1t is a delightful little
city and fitting introduction to
the whole region south and east
of it. Not at all incidentally, 1t
has some grand beaches wherein
new guests of the islands become
personally acquainted with the warm
blue troplc ocean.
Jamaica has two chief tourist
ports, Kingston and Montego Bay,
and a wealth of startlingly lovely
mountain scenery and odd localities
to visit. Kingston, of course, is one
of the great tourist bazaars and
shopping places. and IT'S atmosphere
of piracy-of long ago-is unrivaled
1t also has its runs and rum wharf
and battery Of world-famous sa-
looms, each with its own way of
serving the islands namesake prod
uct. The bells of wicked old Port
Royal are tolled by Caribbean waves
in the church towers of the sea-
engulfed party town of the bucca-
neers, for those with the ear of
faith, and Jamaica is glamorous,
colorful and as tropic as any place
may be.
Montego Bay, on the other side
Of the island, supplies very mod
ern note. It is lively, is fast grow
ing popular as a cruise stop and
has clientele as smart and name
full as an East Fifties night spot.
When a ship approaches His
PAMELA from the West, the island
looms high, dark and mysterious
above the waters, and it is really
fantastic and eerie little continent,
like nothing anywhere else. No
traveller could explore the awesome
jungles of the western end of the
island, which is Haiti, no matter
how much time he had. And If it
were possible, he might be disap-
pointed, because no doubt the tales
of voodooism and blood sacrifices in
the gloomy depths have been a bit
overfeatured. But every one can
make the trip up to see the unbe-
lievable citadel of the black en-
peror, Henri Christopher-that will
give any one the shivers. The
Egyptian pyramids are astound-
ing enough. but they were built on
the ground, while this massive fan
tasy was somehow constructed on
the peak of giant mountain. When
one comprehends its cruel history

These are but a few examples of
the human element behind the
things which visitors to America
come to see. Perhaps better illus
trations could have been drawn, but
the point is that in every one of
our tourist attractions there is much
more than meets the eye. Foreign
ers coming to our shores, unfa-
miliar with our customs and tradi-
tons. will leave this country with a
greater understanding and apprecia-
ton of the places they have visited
if we take upon ourselves an obli-
CATION to visualize for them the hui
man factors that enter into the
makeup of America today.
Historical background has long
been major selling point of Euro
pean travel Here in America we
have a vigorous history of our
own. yet for some reason it is
secondary consideration among our
foreign tourists.
1t is our duty as hosts to these
travellers from other countries to
extend to them the same courtesy
we ourselves would expect in a
land where language and customs
are strange That courtesy would
earn great dividends by lending an
aspect of neighborliness to the tour
list appeal we already have. Many
communities have found that while
beauty attracts people it is hos
pitality that brings them back.
The United States Travel Bureau
has been informed there will be a
group of British motorists arriving in
Washington about June % of next
year. They will travel in 40 cars, the
party consisting of about 100; and
they plan to tour to Chicago, stop
ping off at various points of inter-
est en- route. These visitors will re-
turn to England with definite i'm
-pressions of their trip on American
soil. They will have seen our coun-
try on the surface, but whether or
not they appreciate the history and
tradition-the human interest-that
lies beneath that surface will de-
pend on the courtesy we extend to
them while they are here. Interna-
tional travel furnishes an unusual
opportunity to sow the seeds of good
will and understanding between ma
tons.
Our American history Is unique in
that peoples of all lands had part
in establishing our institutions OF
today. The melting pot has pro-
duced many things, but perhaps the
greatest single transformation was
worked in Minnesotas famed iron
range district. The fabulously rich
deposits of ore brought hopeful work.
ers from Canada, England, Scotland,
Holland, Bulgaria, Montenegro,
France, Norway, Belgium, Germany,
Switzerland, Finland, Russia, Swe-

lands. This strange mixture of ma
tionalities united to build cities

rank among the cleanest, most BEAU
tiful and progressive in the Nation.

SAMPSON DUEL.
BY CHICK KENNY


Perhaps the South'S outStand-
ing halfback of the 1888 college
football season will strut his stuff
Friday night in Griffith Stadium,
when the University Of Mississippi
invades Washington for its inter-
sectional clash with undefeated
and unscored upon George Wash
ington University.
Mr.. Parker Bullet" Hall is the
halfback, and according to the
batch of statistics which has just
been received from the Rebel pub
licity director, he looms perhaps
the greatest halfback ever to show
here in collegiate togs.
The fellow does everything. it.
seems, except sell programs and
take tickets at the gate.
Here is his average for the 1888
season against five opponents
Louisiana State, Louisiana Tech,
Mississippi Techers, Vanderbilt
and Centenary:
BRILLINAT RECORD
Averages e.3 yards per try (his
best has been 121 yards per try
against Centenary.
Completed ~ passes out Of 43
attempts for a yardage gain Of
337 completed pass average
SIS per cent?.
Averages Ali yards per punt.
Total gain in yardage, 61S in
66 attempts, for 9.4 yards per try. |
Scoring record to date Is seven
touchdowns and one extra point
for a season total Of 43 points.
Registered four touchdowns
from tossing passes.
Truly this is a remarkable rec
ord, and it Is doubtful If any
player in the college set through
out the nation has accumulated
such sensational triple-threat as
SaultS.
Hall is playing his last season
for the Mississippi Rebels. He
weighs in the neighborhood Of 1875
pounds and comes from . village
called Tunica. somewhere in the
cotton fields of Mississippi.
COLONIAL ACE
Vieing with Hall for honors Fri
day night is Vic Sampson. The
l65-pound Buff and Blue star who
is rivaling Joe Mellendeck Of
Georgetown for the honors Of be-
1 ing the finest back in this terri
tory, has paced his team to more
than $50 yards from Scrimmage
in the four games against Fur
man, Butler, Colorado and Davis
Elkins.
Simpsons performances in the
four games run something like
this (thanks to Johnny BuSick):
Tossed IL passes, completed 4
for a total gain of 81 yards.
Scored four touchdownS for .
24-point total.
Gained 344 yards in So tries for
