cializing in native silver handi-
crafts, operated by Europeans,
where visitors can find a good
supply Of souvenir material in
a variety of price ranges.
What Quito lacks in creature
comforts for the tourist it
makes up in color Of its people,
buildings and streets. The city
was founded in 1884 by one
Of Francisco Pizarro's subordi-
mates. Before that it haC been
the capital Of the Inca Empire,
and its roads and streets still
bear the imprint Of that ancient
civilization.
The Spaniards seized much
of the gold and jewel wealth of
the Inca Indians and immedi-
ately began building churches.
These ancient churches still
stand, their interiors ablaze
with gold leaf paint over hand
carved huge wooden pillars and
ornamented vaulted ceilings.
Outstanding are the Jesuit
La Compania, La Merced and
San Francisco churches, and
the monastery of San Augustin
Just outside the city.
You drop more than 1000
feet on narrow twisting cobble-
stone roads to reach the mon
astery, set in a valley. Indian
novels cling to the mountain
side on both sides of the road,
and at places there is q steep
plunge of several thousand
feet on the right side of the
road with no guard rails. 1t is
a hair-raising trip, but the
monastery and its setting is
well worth the trip.
Everywhere in Quito there
are Indians, both men and
women wearing fedora-type
felt hats. The women carry
bundles on their back and in
both hands, their babies perched
on their backs, and a flock of
youngsters tagging alongside.
The man Of the family walks
at ease, carrying nothing.

QUITO, Ecuador.-Ornate old
churches. their interiors heavily
encrusted with gold paint, thou
sands Of eolorful Indians on the
streets, numerous historic pla-
SaS, steep narrow streets in the
old part of the city and wide
boulevardS with ultra-modern
homes in the new parts, and a
surrounding mountain scenery
make Quito one of the most
interesting tourist centers of
South America.
The capital of the republic of
Ecuador is one of the oldest
cities in the Americas, a point
from which the tourist can visit
much Of the country.
Quito is high up in the An
dean Mountains, close to 5000
feet above sea level. On clear
days a number of snow-covered
mountains can be seen from
the various parts of the city,
towering 10000 feet or more
into the sky.
The city, with about 300, 900
population, is close to the equa-
tor, yet in mid November
spring in South America-heat
was on in the hotel and we wore
our overcoats most of the time!
The vacationer who wants to
visit luxury shops. spend eve
nings at night clubs and stop
at luxury hotels should be
warned to stay away from Quito.
Its hotels are not good by
North American standards: the
best hotel-Humboldt Capitol
has comfortable beds but is
sparsely furnished, offers no ia
cilities except a dining room on
the top floor with a fine view
Of the city. There are no night
clubs in Quito, and the shops
are small, catering mostly to
the native population.

TN THE dear departed days when police
Il man patrolled the neighborhood on foot,
househOlders got to know him personally,
had fair understanding of his problems,
and good idea of the many ways he could
help them.
Now, in this age of patrol cars, he's unfor-
tunately more Aeeting figure in our minds.
In fact, many people today have only hazy
idea of his role in the community.
Whas he com do for you
Just what can a policeman do for you?
That is hard question to answer because
his duties are so broad and far-reaching. In
one city's Police Department Duty Manual
detailed list runs to eight pages of closely
printed type. 1t lists more than 300 sep
arate and distinct duties, ranging from:
He 1.-THE patrolmanl shall make friends
with all children on his beat, ," to HE shall
listen attentively and without interruption
to all complaints and invariably thank his
informant, regardless of the value Of the
information
Of course, policeman's main duty is to
keep the peace. This means, first and FORE
most, being on the spot to protect you and
your property against crimes involving vio-
lence or stealth. But he must also guard
against, investigate and report any condi-
ton that might endanger the peace and
welfare Of his beat" He must see that
local ordinances are obeyed, and at the
same time be as helpful as possible in en-
forcing state and federal laws. Finally, he
stands ready to assist you under almost any
circumstances where you or your family
are in peril.
This last service is one that we seldom
appreciate fully when we
think of our cop" Ifs f
member of the family has a INV
sudden heart attack, OF &HlkT

your police protection wisely, never abuse
it. Call for help only in an extreme emer-
gency, not when your kitten is afraid to
come down from tree. incidentally, it is
not duty of either policemen or 6remen to
retrieve cats from trees. Try the local
S.P.C.A.)
Many householders know about the
policeman's OZARK list, and make good use
of it. If you are to be away from home for
even a couple of days, phone the police and
ask to be put on the dark list" Your
patrolman will check your house on each
of his rounds, for an empty house is an in
vitation to thieves, amateur or professional.
Your policeman will help you recover
stolen or lost property. He is required to
investigate any reasonable complaint or re-
port that you make, and he is usually
pretty good diplomat in handling ordinary
neighborhood problems. These may range
from the serious, such as the suspicion that
your neighbor is storing dangerous explo-
sives in his garage, to the more homely,
such as: Some older boys are bullying
Johnny on the way to school," 1t is won
derful to observe how quickly those boys
will remedy their behavior when the local
cop suggests to them that he knows what's
going on.
This velvet-glove treatment can also work
healthy magic in the case of adult trouble
makers in the neighborhood. If you make
it your business to be friendly and CO.
operative with your patrolman, he will help
you in his own informal ways.
Whot he cent do for you
However, there are certain things police
man cannot do for you, and failure to under
% stand these things can often
result in strained relations
between you and the law. l

Give Up Trick
To PluY Sufe

Does 1t really pay to play
safe?" asks a correspondent.
"1n the typical case you're ex-
pected to make sure Of your
contract by giving UP a trick
that you could normally win.
Don't all these extra tricks cost
you thousands Of points during

They sure do, brother. But
let's look at one Of these typi-
cal cases to see how much
more 1t would cost to neglect
the safety play. West leads
the queen Of clubs and East
wins with the ace. East very
cleverly returns q heart and
Vests king forces out dummy's
ace. This removes the side
entry to the long diamonds.
If you want to play for the
extra trick you lead out the
top diamonds. If the diamonds
break normally. or II somebody
has the singleton jack, you
will take II tricks for o score
Of $50 points. When the dia-
monds break badly, however,
you will probably 60 down,
scoring minus 100 points.
You don't have to play the
hand about. After taking
dummy's ace Of hearts you can
return a low diamond from
the dummy. This guarantees
the contract. You will almost
surely wind up with a score
of $50 points.
Question Of Odds
Should you take your safe
$50 points. or should you play
about in the attempt to get
the extra 80 points? The odds
are 3 to / that the diamonds
will break favorably. If you
play the hand about four
times you figure to score $50
points on three occasions and
to go down one trick and thus
lose 100 points on the fourth
hand. Your total score for all
four hands is 1880 points.
Now let's suppose you take
the same four hands and play
them all safe. You score a sure
$40 points each time. Your
total score for all four hands
is $3.50 points. This should
answer the question. It may
not pay to insure yourself
against some Enthusiastically I'M
likely bad break, but it does
pay to guard yourself against
routine bad breaks.
Daily Question
AS dealer you hold:
AKQ1o2 VISA os %QJes5I
What do you doP
Answer: Pass. You have II
points in high cards and may
count two points for distribu-
ton, but you still don't have
an opening bid. Beware of
opening a borderline hand
when you have no aces and
when you are counting points
for a suit headed by Q-J or
worse.
