Lincoln Road Adds
To Shopping Fame

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Dec. T.
Twenty years ago Lincoln road barely

ping street.
Only nine shopping blocks joining
the Atlantic Ocean and BiScayne
Bay, this avenue proudly bears the
names of fashion houses which are

Of business.
The late Carl G. Fisher, ardent
edmirer Of Abraham Lincoln, built
the street-in the beginning lane
through the middle Of his property
and named it for his favorite
character in American history. He
visualized 1t as an important and
beautiful thoroughfare, and so 1t
has become.
Thirty-five new firms are opening
shops on Lincoln road this 1940-1
season. Sixteen merchants who were
on the road last year have taken IN

Picturesque Taxco
Clings to Cliffs
And the Past

TAXCO, Dec. IA time-worn
work of art-and so regarded BY
the Mexican government-Taxco. q
picturesque, ageless town that hangs
like a bright Spanish shawl on the
ruddy sides of the mountains OF
Guerrero, is today. as in the rast.
the prize architectural exhibit of our
neighbors south of the border.
A treasury chest of antiquity. Q
community that has failed COM
pletely for centuries to recognize the
ticking of the clock. TaXco in 1910
lives almost as it did when its Aztec
Indians fought on the precipitous
streets. Automobiles chug up its
crooked, pitching paths: planes bull
let past on the way to Mexico City,
hundred or so miles away. but
TaXco. clinging as it does to its
vestiges of the long ago, seems
hamlet that was fashioned as art,
and as art remained unchanged.
Scrabbling as it always has, to
maintain its perilous focthold on
the steep sides of tumultuous hills,
TaXco is more a series of terraces
and roller coaster roads than a city.
Built in natural tiers, with one hal-
conaded homestead rising yividly
above the other, lie town from the
distance looks more stage setting
for the caperings of Don Quixote
than it does city of today.
Although the small red-tiled
mountain climbing houses of Taxco
catch the eye, it is the cathedral in
the square that holds and strns it.
Built as a lavish symbol Uf grati-
tude by Count Jose de "a Rcrda,
silver magnate of the 18th century,
the ornate twin-towered structure
successfully challenges the neigh
boring mountains and loses none
of its magnificence n the compar-
iSon.
Up and down the cobble-stoned
streets. in the crooked alleys, and in
the tiny dusty chops, color can
be found st any moment of the day.
Even the Hotel Taxqueno. a con-
verted Colonial villa, is enmeshed
in the medieval atmosphere Ct the
town. Despite The fact that 1t is
modern in its management, it too
hints of the days when the silver of
the nearby mountains poured in a
torrential stream to the Golfers of
the Queen of Spain.
Because of its historic significance,
the Mexican government has long
protected 1t against modern reno.
vation by decreeins that n stand
untouched.

Base EnlivenS
Bermuda Life

HAMILTON, Bermuda. Dec. T.
Bermudians and American home
owners here welcomed the news
that the proposed American bases
will be located at the eastern end
of the islands, and, as a result. will
not affect the tourist charm of Ber-
muda. The visitor to the islands
during the 1940-41 season will find
his favorite haunts the same as be-
fore, the flower-bordered cycling
paths as delightful as ever and the
hotels. guest houses and golf coures
undisturbed by the base activities.
According to the recent announce
ment Of the visiting American dele
CATION, the bases will comprise a
portion of st. Davids Island, located
at the far eastern end of the islands
and removed from the residential
and hotel sections, and nearby
Coopers, Longbird and Castle ISL
ands, which have never played an
important role so far as visitors here
are concerned.
The only change that visitors this
season will notice in life here is
indeed a pleasant one. They will
see a new group of American faces,
since the establishment of bases will
naturally bring many military and
naval officers and their families to
Bermuda. And the addition of at
tractive American uniforms gives a
lift to any community. A Ger
tain acceleration of social life in
the islands has already been pre-
dicted.
Almost simultaneously with the
announcement of the location of the
bases came word that the Bermuda
government does not now require
passports of United States citizens
arriving in the islands. Travel
agents and steamship lines and air.
lines serving Bermuda have the
necessary identity cards which have
been substituted for passports and
are supplied at no cost to the
traveller.
