PERU: The Home of Empire Builders

This Is the seuenth OF series
OF 10 informative articles and
maps on the republics OF South
America, the great continent
Dtth Which iDe share the Western
Hemisphere. At the request OF
The Sunday Star, the National
Geographic Society, as a part OF
its many educational activities,
has prepared the basic data and
accompanying maps from its rich
resources OF geographic kno,Ul-
edge and surveys. By clipping
this series from Ueek to lDeek,
adults and school pupils may ac-
quire an up-to-ddte collection OF
maps and notes on our neighbor
continent to the south.
In the story of the New World,
Peru stands for adventure, fabulous
wealtfl-and empire building.
Francisco Pizarro, landing on this
coast IN the early 1530s, with
handful of gold-hungry followers,
found there an already ancient
Indian civilization. 1t was that of
the great Inca Empire, which was
born in the Andean heights Of this
mountain -tlmbled country centuries
before the explorations of Columbus.
BY curious coincidence, the Inca
Empire was beginning to distinte-
CRATE at the very time OF the
Spanish invasion. In the years that
followed. the conquering Spaniards
made of the region that was to be-
come the Republic of Peru center
of colonial power and influence.
From its mines they took millions
of dollars worth of gold and silver
treasure.
Land of Many Faces.
In modern Peru, the mining in
dustry of its mountain country Is
still a potent factor in the national
economy. Counting petroleum, min
erals made up more than go per cent
of the total exports in 1910. To-
eether with the long-mined precious
metals come now doubly precious,
useful niaterials-copper, lead,
tungsten, antimony and vanadium.
Yet Peru is by no means simply
a metal crop" country Some four
fifths of its roughly seven million
people live by farming and grazing
activities. Wool, from alpaca, sheep
and llama, is one of the nations
leading exports. Variety marks its
farm output.
To the traveller, Peru presents
many faces, from hot, rain -drenchec
tungles to the cold heights of snow
topped mountains; from lush green
valleys to barren, Wind-Swept
plateaus and rocky deserts. This
country-which covers an area Of
nearly half a million square miles,
or more than 10 times that of New
York State-is divided into four
great natural regions. Each is a
new adventure in geography.
The narrow, rainlesS coast land
rises into the broad mountain and
plateau belt, with few passes below
$1,000 feet, and many peaks lost in
clouds above 2l,000 feet. To the
east and northeast stretches the
Peruvian frontier land-a potential
ly rich but still undeveloped land Of
hills and valleys, merging finally
into the torrid loWlandS OF the Upper
Amazon Basin. Colorful Iquitos is
the leading city of Peru's share of
this Amazon basin region. More
than 1000 miles from the mouth
of the mighty Amazon, Iqultos was
once the heart of A rubber industry
which declined with the rise of the
rubber plantations of the Far East,
and now is looking up again as
United Nations call for more natural
rubber from the continent of its
origin.

War Program
Outlined For
County Schools

At the request of the State
Department of Education, a spec
ial meeting of Dickinson county
teachers YVES held here at Clint
wood yesterday. State Depart
ment members present were: j.
o, Hoge, Luther Richman, H. G.
GRAPHICAL and Miss Lucille Shu-
mate. Mr.. Hoge was in charge of
the meeting.
The meeting opened at $50
and closed shortly after the noon
hour. Before adjournment, the
superintendent Of schools and
several teachers brought certain
problems to the attention of the
group.
Most of the morning session
was given over to seven cardinal
points in the schools war pro-
gram or the part the schools
must perform in helping to win
the war. Special emphasis and a
suggested program of work was
discussed on the following parts
of the schools war time prog
ram: Physical Fitness, Produc-
ton and Conservation, Skills
and Enphases in Mathematics
and Science, Mobilization of
Teachers and Students, Imitation,
"Reminiscences and Internation-
al Relation.
A special program of work has
been put in printed form and
placed in the hands of all teach
ers in the county. This course of
study is to supplement the pres
ent work of the schools and con
tains the following introduction:
"Our country being involved in
war Of unknown magnitude, it
becomes our duty to formulate
program of work which will en-
able each school in Dickinson
county to make its maximum
contribution to the war effort.
Every teacher, without consider
alton Of time, effort, compensa-
ton or sacrifice shall give all eff
fort to winning the war. War
makes it necessary that immedi-
ate effort be devoted to the de-
mands of the War Production
Board IN promoting war efforts,
that we may continue to live in
a country that stands for lie,
liberty, and the freedom of wor-
ship"
Prior to the meeting here on
Wednesday, schools thruout the
county had already begun

Our own manpoWer shortage
is one of growing pains develop
ing out Of our steadily mounting
war strength strength that is
just beginning to be felt in a Sc
ries of worldwide militory oDer-
ations. We have set an immense
goal in the production Of ships
and war materials for use by
powerful forces of American
fighting men ana by our allies.
The automotive industry alone,
since its conversion to war pro-
duction, is turning out more than
half billion dollars worth Of
war goods monthly while the to-
tai value of all munitions plus
war construction now runs close
to five billion dollars each month.
Our output Of war weapons can
not grow Lesson the contrary
it must increase, and greatly. So
too, will the number of men in
military service, who must soon
include the Is and 10 eged boys
if we are to avoid calling up
clcsces of older men.
With some Is million workers
now engaged in direct war work,
more millions must be poured
into our reservoir of war labor
to replace those drained away in
to the armed forces and to take
care of next years expansion

to work above the ground in the
coal industry, which lost more

armed forces, since Jan. l, 1912.

NO SCORE IN TIE
One side reaches 80 points
in a or 8-handed game; IT'S
points in a 10-handed game, and
200 points in a 12-handed game.
AS in four-handed play. the
net result of the various two
handed games are scored as one
result. If there is a complete
tie. there Is no score at all.
Suppose, in a six-handed game,
one side wins two games by
scores of 8 and IL points. and
loses the third game. by a score
of l9 points. The result Is a
washout and neither side scores.
One disadvantage Of these

and every one must then wait
until the last hand has been
finished.
In the partnership games. idle
players may give advice to
