Hoover's Good Will Message
Delivered to People of
Central America.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
HERBERT HOOVER began deliver
ing his message of friendship and
good will to the Latin Americans
when, after plowing through a gale
and rough seas, the battleship Mary
land entered the Gulf of Fonseca and
landed Its distinguished passenger first
at Ampala, Honduras. There, at the
fcfct of an old volcano, were assembled
President-Elect Vlncente Coltndres and
his cabinet and several thousands of
hla countrymen, and to them Mr.
Hoover extended the friendly greeting
of the United States and urged a closer
relationship among the republics of
the Western world. Crossing the bay
'after luncheon, he was met In La
Union by high officials of Salvador,
and again told of the desire of North
Americans for amicable relations and
mutual understanding with their Latin
American neighbors.
Corinto, Nicaragua, was the next
port of call and It was reached at 11
next morning. The little city was gay
with bunting and flags and thronged
with people In holiday attire. Presi
dent Adolfo Diaz, President-Elect Mon
cada and former President Chamorro
all were^there to welcome the visitor.
The cabinet was there, p:oo, and so
were leaders of the factions that have
quarreled so desperately over the rule
of Nicaragua, except naturally the
$ondlno rebels. Everything seemed
peaceful and lovely. The American
marines from Managua had Joined
those stationed In Corinto and, cqm
manded by Gen. Logan Feland, they
made a brave parade. Incidentally,
85 of those marines were taken aboard
the Maryland to serve as escort to Mr.
Hoover thenceforward. In greeting
Mr. Hoover as he stepped ashore, Mon
cada, Diaz and Chamorro all declared
their confidence that he would be a
real friend to their country at this
time which Is so critical. The visitor
responded only Informally, but after
the colorful demonstration In the town
he took the most prominent of the
Nlcaraguans aboard the Maryland for
luncheon and then spoke more at
length. Diaz and Moncada both strong
ly advocated the building of the Nlc
araguan canal, dec\rlng Its construc
tion would be economically advanta
geous and also a bulwark to the liberty
of the American republics. To the
correspondents General Moncada said
the American marine forces In Nlcar^
gua should be reduced gradually to
about 1,000, but that It was necessary
to keep that many there while the na
tional guard was being formed and
trained. Altogether, It was an auspi
cious day for Nicaragua.
Next day the Maryland reached
Punta Arenas, Costa Rica. All ships
In the harbor were dressed, the shore
batteries exchanged salutes with the
battleship, the bands played and the
Inhabitants cheered. The Hoover
party left almost immediately for San
Jose, the tapltal, where It was re
ceived by President Cleto Vlquez and
most of the other distinguished Costa
Ricans and all the natives that could
make their way to the city.
CONFIRMED pacifist* wilt not like
the annual report of Ma]. Oen C.
P. Summerall, chief of staff of the
army. It says that the regular army
la unlit for Immediate action In the
event of war, because of the skeleton
izing of units In past years. The gen
eral efficiency of the army, says the
general. Is unusually high, but he
gives warning that the country must
face the fact that the regular army
and National Guard divisions are In
complete fighting organizations, and
that considerable time must elapse, la
event of a national emergency, before
they can be completed and trained for
satisfactory operations on the battle
field.
Included In the report was the an
nouncement that the War department
has adopted a new plan designed to
speed up mobilization.
T/TNQ GEORGE'S Illness, developing -
^ ?- from a cold Into Inflammation of
the lungs, caused grave alarm through
out the British empire and was
watched with sympathetic Interest by
the whole world. His majesty was
making a brave and cheerful light for
his life hut the seriousness of his con
dition was not concealed by his phy
sicians. The prince of Wales and his
brother, the duke of Gloucester, were
hunting In East Africa and the prince,
who was In dally communication with
London, decided that they should re
turn as speedily as possible to Eng
land. Wales hastened td Dodoraa with
only one companion, lenvlng his party
far behind In the bush, and took train
to Dar-es-Salaam, to which port a fast
cruiser was sent which was to carry
him home. It was said In ofllclal cir
cles In Londoh that the prince has
not recalled but acted on his own
Initiative. The duke of York was at
his father's beside dally. The king's
youngest son, Prince George, was in
the West Indies.
Business men in London, especially
department store owners and stock
brokers, Insured themselves heavily
against the king's death, for that
calamity would be serious for them,
more particularly as the Christmas
season was approaching.' They paid
rates of 21 per cent for last week and
31 Vi per cent for the ensuing month.
President and mrs coolidge
spent their Thanksgiving holidays
In Virginia, making their headquarters
for several days at the Swannanoa
Country club, a short distance from
Waynesboro." On Thursday they at
tended Thanksgiving services In Char
lottesville, afterward being the guests
at luncheon of President Aldermap at
the University of Virginia. Their
Thanksgiving dinner was at the coun
try club. They made no social engage
ments for the remainder of the week,
and returned to Washington Sunday.
Congressman fred britten
of Chicago pushed himself onto
the front page when, In his capacity of
chairman of the house committee on
naval affairs, he cabled to Prime Min
ister Baldwin of Great Britain a sug
gestion tbat Mr. Britten's committee
and a select committee of parliament
meet In a conference In Canada next
March to discuss the application of
the 5-5-3 Washington treaty ratio to
all classes of fighting vessels. The
committees would then report their
recommendations. If any, to their re
spective governments, after the fash
Ion of the Interparliamentary Union,
to which all members of the house
naval committee belong. Mr. Britten
said to the press that the failure of
past limitations conferences had been
attributed to military men and that,
while be personally did not think they
were responsible, he would prefer to
see both committees composed of non
mllltary men. He declared that this
country's naval policy had never been
competitive but had always been de
fensive.
FATHER NEPTUNE has been In a
horrible temper of late and has
stirred up terrific storms on the. At
lantic and other waters. The worst
effects were felt on the coasts of En
rope and on the Black sea. Many ves
sels were sunk or driven ashore and
the loss of life undoubtedly was con
siderable. The gales did not stop at
the coasts bnt swept over the land, be
ing especially severe In England and
France. On the other side of the
world, a greet typhoon devastated part
of the Philippine Islands and It was
believed at least 200 lives were lost.
The damage to property was np In the
millions. Red Cross workers and re
lief supplies were sent from Manila
on warships.
To be classed among minor disasters
is the Influenza outbreak In and about
Los Angeles. 8everal thousand cases
were reported, with about two score
deaths The motion picture colony In
Hollywood was especially hard hit
The veteran actor Edward Connelly
and Mrs. Sadie Miller, mother of Patsy
Ruth Miller, were among the dead
there, and many of the stars and di
rectors were on the sick list Many
of the public schools In the region
were dosed.
Extradition of a m. Biaekmer.
the missing Teapot Dome witness
wanted on an Indictment for making
false returns at Denver, bas been re
fused by France. Blackmer's attorney
made a fervent plea In the Paris court
and that tribunal decided there was no
reason why, under the French law, the
request for extradition should be
granted. The defendant was given
complete liberty and the case was
closed so far as France Is concerned.
ONE of those odd tales of Imposture
that crop up In Europe every
once In a while came to Its climax
when a dairy maid on the farm of the
former crown prince of Germany was
sentenced in Berlin to two years In
prison. For months she had posed as
"Princess Mnrgarete of Prussia," mor
gunatlc wife of the ex-crown prince,
and many gullible persons, making no
Investigation, loaded her with hos
pitality, money end other gifts. "I
was forced to act the part, for I looked
so distinguished when I was dressed
up everybody Insisted I was a prin
cess In disguise," the forty-year-old
and rather unattractive dairy maid
pleaded.
S1GRID UNDSET, the Norwegian
novelist who was awarded the No
bel prise of $42,000 for literature, an
nounces that she will devote the entire
sum to charity. Already she lias given
$20,000 of It to provide for parents
who are obliged to maintain mentally
deficient children In their homes.
Reopening of the question of
American adherence to the World
court has been practically decided on
by the Coolldge administration. The
President told a group of senators who
breakfasted at the White House that
he hoped the difference between the
United States and other nations, on
the reservations added by the senate
In Toting for adherence, could he
reconciled and the reservations made
acceptable. While Mr. Coolldge did
not so state, the Impression was gained
that negotiations already were In prog
ress. Before going to Virginia for the
holiday, the President conferred with
Secretary of State Kellogg on the
method of procedure to be followed.
Mr. Kellogg refused to state whether
developments had occurred within the
last few weeks which Indicated that
the chances of American entrance Into
the court were any better than they
were at the time the nations rejected
the senate reservations.
WILLIAM R. DAWES, Chicago
financier, was elected president
ot the Mississippi Valley association
at Its tenth convention In St. Louis.
He succeeds James E. Smith of St.
Lonls who resigned after 20 years of
activity In the Inland waterway move
ment. The association adopted a reso
lution asking congress for the early
completion of the Mississippi valley
waterway system, pointing out that
>4S2,270,217 already bad been ex
pended or allotted for completion of
villous waterway projects and calling
9n congress to make available annual
ly whatever money Is needed to com
plete the projects.
The association held that the system
should be standardized as to channel
depths, locks, terminals and floating
equipment, and that the main trunk
lines should have channels nine feet
deep. The main trunk lines were
specified as the Mississippi, Missouri,
and Ohio rivers, the Illinois waterway
and the lntracoastal canal in Louisiana
and Texan
, The right to divert water from Lake
Michigan for the Illinois waterway
was upheld. The association praised
the Denlson barge line bill, and re
quested congress to appropriate >10,
000,000 for added equipment and
barges for the Inland Waterway cor
poration. The sum already has been
authorized.

LOVELY
<? bj D. J. Walsh.)
Madge mehedith called
him up that morning on the
telephone.
"Come over tonight for ?
fame of bridge, Guy, and meet our
fuest. Miss Angell. She'* perfectly
.?vely. You'll fall In love with her,
! know. I'm simply crazy about ber.
Mother first met her at the Woman's
:lub In Delfield, and she hasn't rest
ed till she got her here to make ns a
little visit. You'll come?"
"Sure, I'll come, Madge. And thank
you for the chance to meet the lovely
lady." Guy Holding laughed as he
waited politely for Madge to hang up
first. Then he went back to his desk
and forgot about everything but what
he was doing. He even forgot about
Madge whom he had reason to think
liked him a good deal and who came
nearer to being his Ideal of what a
girl should be than any woman he
had ever met or was, perhaps, likely
to meet.
He lunched downtown and went
home rather late to dinner, remem
bering as be entered bis mother's
house that he had made a promise to
Madge.
His mother met him In the hall.
She was plump, gray-hatred and fad
ed but a nice woman for all that as
Guy often told her. He adored his
mother. And she worshiped him. Her
husband hadn't amounted to mucb,
but her son was entirely satisfactory
He took after her side of the family
when It came to go-getting, but for
all his business acumen be was ter
ribly Ingenuous. Mrs. Holding suf
fered a good deal on that account
Calla waited upon them at dinner.
Calls was colored and elderly, but a
perfect maid. She set Guy's soup be
fore him like a caress, and he smiled
at her out of frank, boyish brown
eyes.
"Going out this evening, dear?'
Mrs. Holding Inquired.
"That's so. I am. Madge asked
me." His mother smiled In a pleased
way. "I'd rather planned to take yon
to see a play, but U you don't mind
waiting till tomorrow night?"
"I'm rather glad. I've got a whole
basketful of your socks to mend"
Mrs. Holding said.
"You best of mothers I" Guy blew
her a kiss across the table and she
blew him one back again. After that
the roast fowl warmed up from yes
terday tasted ever so delicious.
Guy walked down the moonlit street
under the denuded maples to the
Meredith house, which was at the ex
treme end. He thought about seeing
Madge and wondered what she would
be wearing. No matter what It was
It would be sure to be the sight thing.
Madge met him at the door Hhe
bad on a little cocoa-colored frock
trimmed with a few bands of skunk
far, very becoming to her fresh, dark
coloring.
"Now prepare to be pverwhelmed,'
she bade him as be laid aside bis bat
and coat. "Miss Angell Is perfectly
lovely."
"So are you." He laughed at her.
noting the color that rose in her
smooth cheeks.
Mrs. Meredith was In the 'Ivlng
room with the guest who sat In a
deep winged chair by the fireside. At
a word there rose out of that winged
chair the most beautiful woman Guy
bad ever seen.
She was tall, slender, yet exquis
itely rounded, with no suggestion of
bone or muscle In her white arms and
shoulders. Her hair had the ashen
gleam of white gold, her face was a
flower, ber eyes dark, wonderful. She
wore a gown like a bit of dawn-iose
and lavender and silver, and when
she spoke ber voice was like tbe call
of a bird to Its mate.
Guy tried not to stare, but be
could think of nothing nicer than |ust
to look Ms fill at her. And wben
Madge brought out the card table
and they sat down to play he was
glad to be nearer to her.
Before the evening was over he bao
fallen victim to that glamor which
attacks a man once only perhaps In
his whole life. And all nlgbt he la*
awake, his bead whirling with dream*
of Mlsa Angell and plans to see ber
again.
He was not himself next day. That
afternoon be got leave from bis boat
and took Mlas Angell for a ride In his
roadster, and that evening he made a
theater party and Invited the Mere

"What's gone wrong with Madge?"
Mrs. Holding asked. "She looks so
wan. Are yon going over there as
much as usual, dear?"
"I havent seen Madge In two
weeks," Guy replied unthinkingly.
"She was here today," Mrs. Hold
ing ventured. "I thought maybe you'd
ask her and me to go somewhere to
night?"
"Oh, all right" Guy accepted the
proposal patiently.
Between acts he tried to find out
from Madge something about Miss
Angel!.
"She wrote the nicest bread-and-but
ter letter! She has asked me to vis
it her," Madge said.
Madge was going to visit her! That
made Madge interesting, and be
turned his attention to her.
Another week passed. He had sent
flowers to Miss Angetl and had re
ceived a creamy-tinted note from her
?cool and sweet as parfalt. It wasn't
much, but?It was something. Then
he did a bold thing. He went to see
her?but she was not at home, and
he came away nncomforted save for
a sight of the old pillared house and
the sharp-eyed servant who had an
swered his ring.
Now the awful desire for sympathy
so controlled him that be sought his
mother. He got out of bed, put on
his lounging robe and slippers and
went Into her room In the dead of
night There by the faint, golden
shaded light he told her all that was
In bis heart.
Mrs. Holding sat up In bed with
the extra blanket about her shoul
ders. She had been awakened from
a peaceful sleep and she looked old.
frumpish with cold cream on her face
and her gray hair skewered on curl
era.
"I'm so glad you told me this,
dear," she said. "I've known, of
course, what was going on, but I bad
to wait until you were ready to give
me your confidence. Guy, you be
lleve what I tell yon, don't you? Tou
have never found me lying to you or
using the slightest subterfuge."
"Never, mother."
"Then, my dear, painful as It Is I
shall give you the truth. Miss An
gell?"
"She's not going to be married!'
Guy leaped from bis chair.
"Oh, dear, no. If she was ever go- |
Ing to marry she would have done
so years ago. She has had lovers
enough. Why, 1 remember when I
was first engaged to your father meet
ing her at a party?you see I've- si
ways known about her. She was al
ways pretty as a picture, but since
she Inherited all that money and took
that course at a beauty Institute?"
"Mother I What are you saying?*
"I'm trying to tell you, my deai
son, that Lavenla Angell Is exactly
one year and nine weeks older than
I am."
She hnd produced a cataclysm, but
because he had always believed her
he managed to do so now. Wssn't she
his own mother and hadn't she al
ways told him the truth? Besides, as
he looked at her, the conviction
seeped In.
Madge could have told you, but
she wouldn't," ended Mrs. Holding.
Six weeks later Madge Meredith
showed Mrs. Holding a diamond and
platinum ring.
"You don't mind," she whispered.
"Dearl" Mrs. Holding kissed ber
"You know I think Guy hss always
liked me?except once?for a little
while," Madge said.
Mrs. Holding smiled Joyously.
? "Well, I shouldn't let that worry
me," she replied.
Pointed Suggestion
Ao old funner, who wua attending
a church convention, chuckled to him
self aa he read the aubjecta on the
program. "See here, paraon," he said
to bis pastor, "you've had papers and
discussions all day on how to get peo
ple to attend church. I've never heard
a single address, at a farmers' conven
tion, on bow to get cattle to come to
the rack. We put all our time on the
beat kind of feed. I sort of have a
notion that If you put more time on
discussing what to put In the rack,
you wouldn't have to apend all that
tline discussing how to get your folk
to attend church."?Montreal Family

Aacisst Saperstitioas
Coins worn us pendunts or amulets
were common In the ancient world, be
cause of tbelr likeness to the moon;
nod It Is probable that medallions, and
hence medals, were originally circular
for the purpose of Introducing the
lunar element and thereby counteract
ing the blighting effects of admiration
or envy. Spitting Is roentlooed by
many ancient authors as a protection
against the evil eye, and this explains
the custom of spitting on a coin,
which Is still widely practiced.

bad ? Ions history of Independence
before modem times, but the country's
Identity was snuffed out by Itussln.
Germany, and Austria more than n
century ago, when those three powers
divided Polish territory among them
selves. The armistice brought back to
gether the fragments of the old king
dom, and It has since functioned as
a republic.
On the tenth anniversary of the
new birth of Poland one might con
elder the statistics of this new-old
nation?statistics which would show
the mighty strides that have been tak
en to make up for the years of di
vision. But let us take this for
granted, and gain Instead a few
glimpses of the picturesque places and
people of Poland's interior.
The nation offers no spectacle more
colorful than the Sunday processlou
In Lowlcz. In rude farm wagons nnd
on foot, the peasants come from hum
ble villages In the widespread plain
whence Poland gets Its name.
The abbey chnrch, walled Into a
grassy Inclosure, backs up to a great
cobbled square. On fine Sundays, each
of the three entrances Is a hovering
place for a rainbow whose colors, In
tensified by fixing them In stiff, sturdy
homespun, bell out In broad skirts nnd
bright aprons, below which even a
peasant font, If confined In a shiny
high shoe with laces matching some
color of the costume, has a pleasing
grace. ..
The men, wearing long frogged
coat* and orange trousers stuffed Into
well-blacked boots, stand In sober
gronps, from which the eye Is lured
away by gleaming masses of creamy
silken head-shawls, long of fringe and
worn without a wrinkle.
Gdynia Is Its 8eaport.
Gdynia Is Poland's patriotic hope as
a seporL At the end of the World war
Poland was denied the ownership of
Danzig, through which Its seaborne
commerce has ever come. The city
was made free, onder the league of
Nations, however, to facilitate Polish
commerce. At the same time Poland
was given a narrow strip of a dreary,
sandy stretch of the Raltlc coast. On
this coast, at Gdynia, Poland has been
feverishly building a port which It Is
hoped will become the main doorway
between the republic and the sea trade
of other nations.
Gdynia now consists of several piers,
many Incongruous villas, an ambitious
band-shell, a bulky Pharos, and a fish
ing strand cobwebbed with nets.
There are a casino and a hotel called
the Polish Riviera. It Is decreed that
Gdynia Is to be a pleasure resort, the
rival of Zobbot as well as of Danzig
Poznan la the most thoroughly Pol
ish and the most modern city In the
republic. One should see this cradle
of the Polish race In a half fog which
gives grace to the bulky palace of the
kaiser, adds Just the proper note of
northern softness to the classic facade
of the Raczynskl library, and banishes
the ugly from the buildings overhang
ing the Warta.
, Along Poland's only natural bound
sry, the Carpathians, two salients pro
ject southward, one Into the Jumble of
mountains called the Tatras. whose
further slopes sre la Czechoslovaks;
the other to the bank of the Czere
mosz, over against Bukowlna. In these
two salients are to be fonnd two of
the most Interesting peoples In the
Polish complex.
Mountain Resort and Salt Mines.
In theTatras lies Zakopane, Poland's
chief mountain resort, with a beauti
ful situation, several large sanitariums
for weak-lunged patients, and the most
charming group of villas In Poland.
Many of them, though larger and flner,
are built In the same "Zakopane" style
as the modest wooden houses, which
were there before Doctor Chalubinakt'
"discovered" the place, in 1873, and
the railway came. In 1880.
There are attractive promenades,
plenty of mountains to climb, an ac
tive Tntra society serving those who
don't do all their exploring by auto
mobile, and up In the mountains ?
gem of a hike called the "Rye of the
Sea." Either It Is absolutely without
bottom or the tradition that It Is con
nected with the ocean Is without foun
dation. But It Is a very charming
lake.
Near Wlellczka are the great salt
mines of which all the world has
heard?salt beds from which have
been carved chapels, corridors, cham
bers and bullrooms. There Is a bugs
chapel with rock-salt saints, well pre
served In spite of their age. The rock
salt chandeliers have almost as much
glitter as glass.
The prize city of Poland Is Krakow,
Jaglello came all the way from Lithu
ania to be baptized and made a Pole
In-law on the Wawel?Hill of Kings?
after Caslmir the Great, "who found
a Poland of <yoyd and left behind
him a Poland of stone." had carried
Krakow to such heights of glory as
no other Polish city ever reached. It
was rather Krakow's usefulness as a
trade mart which won It continental
favor and support.
The grain of Hungary, the silks of
Italy, the amber of Danzig, ant] the
splcea of the East passed through Kra
kow. Men trusted their lives to yew
bows from Gallcla and her oaks fur
nished the framework for many a ship.
Ths City of Lions.
In Krakow there are other things
more Interesting than markets, but la
I.wow there aren't. Lwow, Leopol,
Lemberg, Leopolls,. The City of Lions.
The Nest of Heroes?the city has as
many aliases as a confidence man. On
tlie station is the inscription "Leopo
lls Semjer Fidelia" Considering the
frequent changes of ownership and
government, either the "always" or ths
"faithful" must be poetic license.
Hero and there In Its wide area
there is an outcropping of hills whoso
steep slopes are given over to beautiful
parks heavily wooded with splendid
trees. Barracks are everywhere. Lwow
lias never recovered from the role of
fortresa which it has played ever since
the Kuthenians built It as a defenae
agnlnst the Tartara
Lwow's place aa capital of a now
and then autonomous Gallda won tt
many Imposing buildings, upon which
Italian architects and German sculp
tors lavished much- skill. The old
university, dating from 1600, has taken
on new life with the coming of liberty.
There Is to be another, solely for Ro
thenlan students from East Galida,
where this "racial minority," separat
ed by nothing but an Imaginary line
from 23,000.000 racial and reilgtoaa
brothers In the Ukraine, outnumber
the Poles two to eaa.
