Visitors to Cuba Find loot
In Many Smart Shops

HAVANA. Jan. 7.-Some take
back the rhumba and some take
back a tan, but there is more to
Cuban loot than this.
Shopping center for thousands of
tropical cruise passengers, Havana
this year spreads before the tourist
an array Of bargains hard to resist
and everybody knows a cruise pas
senger has no resistance. His clam
oring friends and relations must be
faced at the pier on his return.
Cuba, especially Havana, abounds
in these items and the Cuban Ma
tional Tourist Commission furnishes
excellent shopping advice.
Havana cigars are very popular
with men. Bought in the factories
or in the large and reliable retail
establishments. these sell at very
low prices. The cigars for visitors
to buy are the export grade, for
Cubans themselves prefer extremely
strong cigars. The buyer who goes
to the factory or large store. not
only eliminates the. possibility of
getting counterfeit cigars from
street vendors, but at the factory is
able to see well-known brands of
cigars being made.
For woman visitors both French
and Spanish perfumes at low prices
prove an irresistible attraction.

Isles Lack Of Rain
Becomes Tourist Asset

newsboys. he could have chosen no
better hero than Curacao, whose
history is pat illustration indeed

theme.
Any race but the sturdy Dutch
might long ago have given up the
attempt to wrest a living from
Curacao. Those people have not
only made the island one which
consistently pays its own way. but
also turned its chief city, Willem-
stad, into miniature, flamboyant
Amsterdam. Greatest of Curacaos
handicaps is its lack of water and
of rains. First its inhabitants visit
fully called certain months the rain
season. That did no good and river
less, pondlesS Curacao went on
catching the little water it could in
cisterns and tanks, buying more
from visiting ships.
Today its people are hailing this
lack OF rain as blessing in disguise
its a tourist attraction. and a real
one. Curacao can practically guar
antee travellers sunshine and good
weather at any time of year, and 1t
has not been slow to exploit that
fact.
A scarcity of water is not the only
handicap Curacao has had. Peter
Stuyyesant, later Governor of Man
haitian, once dwelt here and built
up thriving slave trade. That COL
lapsed. Later some one discovered
that its bitter oranges make the
liqueur curacao, but most of the
oranges were shipped out and pro-
cessed abroad.
Later Curacao had visions of the
wealth to be made in ostrict plumes.

Then the feather market collapsed.
In the good Horatio Alger tradi-
ton, however, Curacao had its re-
ward at last. Oil was discovered in
the Lake of Maracaibo, on the Vene-
zuelan coast. and the handiest place
for processing it turned out to be
Curacao. Overnight its city of
Willemstad became a great center
of the petroleum trade.

Audacious Robert Stobo

HOUDINI was famous for his
Il ability to escape from almost
anywhere; Sergeant York was noted
for his ability to capture enemies by
the wholesale; but in pre-Revolu-
tionary days, Maj. Robert Stobo was
famous for both.
The French from Canada were
constantly arresting Stobo for sup
plying Washington with confidential
information about their plans. But
regardless of where he was i'm
priSoned he always managed to es-
cape.
After breaking out of a cell in
Quebec, he padded up the st. Law
renee river with three companions.
Camping one day on the bank, he
noticed a small boat leave French
ship and make toward their camp
fire.
Knowing that the French were
after him, he could easily have re-
treated into the woods until they
gave up the search. But instead he
and his companions hid and sur
prised the party when it landed.
With little effort, he succeeded in
capturing the group that had been
sent out to capture him!
Then, after waiting for darkness,
he had the further audacity to order
them all into the boat and with
guns at their backs, row back to
their ship as if he and his party
were captives. They were all aboard
the vessel before the crew realized
that it was Stobo's party, not theirs,
that held the guns. Once aboard.
he had the upper hand and forced
the entire crew of l8 to surrender.
But this was only a good begin
ming. In command of the ship, he
set sail and pulled alongside an
other French vessel a mile down
the river. Without warning, he fred
a broadside against the unsuspect-
ing vessel and forced its surrender
too. Then he set fire to it.
Proudly he set sail up the ST..
Lawrence and returned triumphant
ly to Colonial territory, having per-
formed one of the most adventurous
feats Of his time.

Prince of Trinidad

- DAD" is an impressive title.
The holder of it was an American
who married the daughter of Stand
ard Oil company magnate. He pre-
Sented her with the entire kingdom
of Trinidad which they ruled togeth-
er with a firm hand.
Trinidad was easy to rule, OF
course, because Mr.. and Mrs.
James Harden-Hickey, the Ameri-
can names of the rulers. were the
only human inhabitants. Their SUBJ
jects were the land crabs, sea fowl
and snakes with which the place
was infested.
Trinidad is an island 700 miles
east of Brazil in the South Atlantic.
Discovered by the Portuguese and
visited by the British. no power had
exercised active possession Of it at
the time Mr.. and Mrs. James T.
went there and proclaimed them
selves rulers in 1894.
But their reign over this small do
main that reeked with the odor Of
dead fish, ended in January of the
following year when the British sent
the warship Barracuda there to
take over possession.
This wasn't the first time James
Harden-Hickey was thrown out of a
country. He established newspa-

and was so obnoxious in his criti-
cism of the republican government
that he was expelled in 1880.
