Approved Dance
In Puerto Rico

NEW YORK, Nov 29-American
tourists are discovering that the
national dances of both Puerto Rico
and the Dominican Republic are
far easier to learn on a cruise than
the more complicated rhythms of
the rhumba.
Contrary to popular opinion, the
rhumba is not national dance of
any Latin n-American republic but
was introduced by the African slaves
brought to the West Indies by the
Spaniards.
In Puerto Rico. the slower paced
"danza" is highly approved by the
elite and danced equally by humber
folk Played in slow time. similar
to the waltz, it is danced with much
flourishing of fans, and is said to be
relative of the old-fashioned
minuet. Even the national anthem
of the island, La BorinQuena," is
a DANA
The "merangue.' the national
dance of the Dominican Republic.
is said by many to be the parent of
the "conga." The Dominican dance
is somewhat faster in tempo than
the rhumba, but bears a tonal re-
semblance, Dance partners per-
form opposite one another, but away
from each others faces, moving in
graceful sideways movements across
the floor. The tllrOb Of drums and
rattle of maracas play an important
role in the supporting orchestra.

CameI|ia Japonicas Add
To Mobiles Floral Beauty

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 29.-Mobile's
Azalea Trail has won such wide
publicity that many flower lovers
are apt to overlook the fact that
this Gulf Coast city lays claim to
another distinction in flower cul-
ture. Perhaps nowhere in the world
is there a greater concentration Of
camellia japonicas than in and near
Mobile.
Differing from aZaleaS, which de-
pend on massed color, camellia ja-
ponicas derive their charm from
the majestic beauty Of large bushes
and the loveliness of individual bios
SONS. The variety Of solid colors and
variegated hues attract flower lovers.
Early varieties begin blooming IN
November and are followed by others
which continue blooming into the
early spring Here and at Green
vile. another "camellia city farther
north, camellia sasanquas are at the
peak of their beauty. as is the alba
plena, a magnificent white double.
The "sasanqua," Of course, is not a
true japonica but is one OF the hum
dreds of varieties of camellias to be
found in Alabama.
A native of Japan. the camellla
iaponica was introduced through
European channels TO Mobile about
100 years ago. Many seedlings have
been raised since then. and many
new importations have been re-
ceived from Europe. Possibly some
500 or 500 varieties exist, embracing
many types and colors. There are
singles. semi doubles, peony flower
ing types. some with dense pompon
centers. others shaggy flowers with
center petals Whorled and twisted,
full doubles Of every conceivable
type. Some are solid colorS, others
have varieeation through the petals;
some are rlottled. others are striped
and others have petals of various
colors throughout the flowers.
In the Bellingrath Gardens, 20
miles south of Mobile, there are
more than 1000 mature specimens
More than 375 varieties are en-
braced in the collection.

Winter Floral Pageant
Briuhtens Bermuda Scene

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. %
Bermuda is a riot of color" these
DAYS as perennial late fall flowers
come into full bloom.
The streets of Hamilton and st.
Georges are decked with giant
sprays of climbing red and purple
bougainvillea, lovelier this year than
at any time during the last decade.
Along the country lanes one sees
this vivid vine Haunting its flowers
even from the tops of towering trees.
High light of the floral pageant
is the scarlet poinsettia. which
blooms in profusion throughout the
islands during November. Decem-
ber and January. While Americans
are contracting with florists for
potted poinsettia plants, those for
tunate enough to sojourn on these
sunny southern shores may wander
afield and pick CARLOAD of poin-
settias if they wish. In Bermuda
the plants grow as high as IL feet
with petals proportionately large.
Poinse ttias form the chief deco
ration at Christmas, when millions
of the flaming flowers are displayed.
Shortly after Christmas the Easter
lily fields will begin to bloom, and
from then until May the fragrant
white trumpets will festoon every
parish.

Fishermun's Wharf Is q Must
For San Francisco Visitor

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29-Fish-
ermen's Wharf is one Of San Fran
ciscos attractions that is must"
on the itinerary Of million tourist
visitors a year.
In a colorful, Mediterranean-lik
setting, edging the bay, are hundreds
of brightly painted fishing boats
moored in lagoons alongside wooden
wharves. Great brown nets festoon
the wharves' railings, drying in the
sun. In the distance is the orange
colored bridge that spans the Golden
Gate.
Facing the wharves is street OF
sidewalk seafood cafes and curb
side cauldrons. Large; luscious crabs
are cooked in the huge metal pots
and then piled high on clean, mar
ble-topped tables. In size and quail
ity the San Francisco crabs are said
to be the finest in the world.
Evening star., 1941-11-30

Four hundred boats supply San
Francisco with 100000 crabs a year.
These boats, each manned by one
fisherman, leave the wharf each
morning between l and 2 o'clock.
All of them are usually back at The
wharf by 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
In groups Of half dozen beats
the fishermen remain close together
for companionship and safety once
they're at the fishing grounds. Their
nets are strung on iron hoops. 2'2
feet in diameter. These are let down
10 the bottom by means of lines at
tached TO floats. AS many as 26 nets
are handled by fisherman.
When the fiotilla returns to the
wharf the crabs are sacked, two
dozen to a sack, numbered, and
taken to the central distribution
headquarters.

French Africa Possesses
ManpOwer and Resources.
The shift in administration OF
Vichy- controlled French Africa again
pushes into the spotlight the Ques-
ton of the position and power OF
the strategic northwest bulge OF
Africa in relation to the battle of
the Atlantic and the war in general.
French North and West Africa
covers by far the major share of
the great African shoulder outthruSt
into the Atlantic 10 a point within
1870 miles of South America. The
vast territory of Morocco. Algeria.
Tunisla and French West Africa has
an area Of more than 100000 square
mileS-or almost that of continental
United States.
The total population of more than
10000 900 represents a considerable
reservoir Of manpoWer. During the
first World War the Well-trained
and picturesquely dressed native
troops of North and West Africa
proved extremely valuable to the
motherland, both for labor and in

French West Africa. stretching
from the north-central portion of
the continent to the Atlantic is less
productive than the North African
regions. partly because of its wide
more fertile areas provide such i'm
portant supplies as rice, corn, mil
let. vegetable oils. cotton and gum.
Equally important in any sum-
mary of the potential value Of
French possessions in the bulge is
the strategic location of the terri
tories and their leading ports.

the narrows of the Mediterranean
across from Sardinia and Sicily.
