f-7 | Traveling Around America ---Photo hn Grace Line CHILE’S VERSION OF SWITZERLAND ^HILE is one of the most versatile ^ countries in the world. In her beach resorts she appears in the sophisticated role of the Lido. In her great cities, Santiago and Val paraiso, she rivals the most glitter ing of European capitals; near Te muco where the Araucanian Indians dwell, she goes as primitive as the Navajo pueblos of New Mexico; in the north she takes on the role of the Sahara; and in her Lake Dis trict in the south, she surpasses the majestic beauty oi Switzerland. This Lake region with its peace ful villages set among sea - green lakes, snow-crowned peaks, and for ests carpeted with shoulder-high ferns, is a vacation spot with a par ticular appeal to travelers from the United States, because of the favor able rate, of exchange and the fre quency with which luxurious Ships from New York and California visit Chile. Puerto Varas, the picturesque vil lage shown above, rests on Lago Llanquihue in the shadow of Cal buco; El Tronador, the .Thunderer; and Osorno, a perfect white-capped cone called the Fujiyama of Chile. This lake and the nearby "Lake of All the Saints,” contrasting strange ly in aspect and deportment, are the beauty-center of,tjhe«region. The former is like a rowdy child— round, blue, and in winter frolick ing about in waves and White caps which rival those of the sea; the latter is three cornered, green as an emerald, and as tranquil as the saints for whom she was named. Both do their beautiful bit to sup port Chile in her role of a super Switzerland. Inoculate The Soil For Austrian Peas Like other legumes, Austrian winter peas must be supplied with the proper nitrogen-gathering bac teria before they can make satis factory growth. "If the Austrian peas are planted in fields that lack these bacteria, the soil must be inoculated before the seed arc planted,” declares Enos C. Blair, extension agronomist acj State College. "The bes c way to do this is to get a quantity of soil j from a field where the peas have’ been successfully grown within j the last three or four years. If this | is impossible, get soil from a field; that has grown either vetch or1 English peas. Scrape off the dry i upper surface of the soil and use the next few inches for inoculat ing purposes. Keep the soil, so obtained, away from direct sunlight and use it as soon as possible. Ap ply it at the rate of about 300 pounds to the acre and harrow in immediately.’’ Probably a better way is to sowj a mixture of seed and soil with the grain drill using the fertilizer box to hold the mixture. This method usually insures a good crop on very sandy soils. The second method is to use about as much soil as seed. Moist en the seed with equal parts of molasses and water and mix with soil from an inoculated field. The soil will SUCK to tne seeu lairiy well and if the seed are sown and covered as soon as possible, good results are secured. This method works best on clay soils but does not do so well on sandy lands. The third method is to use a commercial culture and follow the directions on the container. Com mercial cultures may also be used with the soil inoculation but like the molasses method is not highly satisfactory on sandy soils. Blair points out also that one may first inoculate one acre and grow his peas this winter and use soil from the acre to grow addition al acres next season. I Mr. J. F. Litaker, having return ed from the Rowan General hospi tal Sunday, is improving nicely. Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

While officials of the Federal Emergency Relief Corporation op pose an outright revival of the CWA, which was hastily organized last winter to give jobs to 4,000, 000, they are anxious to give the unemployed work instead of relief grants. This question, as well as prelimi nary plans for the Administration’s' social program, was to be discussed by President Roosevelt and Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Admin istrator. Officials of the Relief Adminis tration are anxious to avoid a re petition of the CWA plan under which thousands of unemployed were put to such tasks as raking leaves. The strong criticism of the alleged wastefulness of the method has caused a search for other kinds of employment. Hopkins himself has declared that he would put the unemployed to work if he were given the pow er. At the present time, FERA offi cials say, about 1,000,000 unem ployed are engaged in work relief tasks of widely varying kind. They range from aid in packing meat to making mattresses and teaching inj nursery schools. j More Interest Seen In Realty Seventy Per Cent of The Cities In U. S. Report Revival Of Market Seventy per cent of the cities in :he United States have reported a nore active real estate market than i year ago in a semi-annual survey nade public by the National Asso :iation of Real Estate Boards. The survey, which covered 268 cities, showed recent rapid absorp :ion of space, particularly in single family residences, and higher resi dential rents. Actual shortage of :uch dwellings was reported in 49 per cent of the' cities, and only 4 otr cent had a surplus. The survey i year ago showed a shortage in anly 12 per cent. Among conditions pointing to general and rapid advance were: 1. Increased return for real estate nvestment, pbomised by sharpening rent conditions. 2. Increasing space absorption, extending in some sections even to ausiness structures. 3. Re-entrance of capital seeking nvestment. 4. Predominantly steady for fati ng interest rates. While selling prices have not ad vanced as generally as turnover, :hey were higher in 33 per cent of the cities, unchanged in 5 2 per cent and lower in 15 per cent. Most general gains in activity took place in citifes of more than S 00,00 population, 80 per cent reporting increases over a year ago, 20 per cent unchanged conditions. Geographically, the South Atlan tic section led the pickup, 94 per cent of its cities of all sizes show ing increased activity. For the first time since June, 1930 a few cities began to report actual shortage of business and of ice space while shortage of apart nent space, shown a year ago in anly 5 per cent of the cities, now prevails in 20 per cent. Missouri Pair Wed 70 Years Queen City, Mo.—Married 70 'ears. That’s the record of Mr. and drs. Baty S. Collins of Queen City. When they recently celebrated heir seventieth anniversary of married life, Collins propounded lis views of matrimony and was riarticularly scathing in denounc ng the modern institution of di vorce. "It’s a shame the way young folks get divorced these days,’’ he laid. "It seems they get married lust for fun. Of course, it’s hu man nature to get out of sorts at rimes, but I’d never leave my wo man to suffer. I’ve been mad enough it times to skip out and go back to the army, if I didn’t believe as I Jo.” And Mrs. Collins, sitting quietly ;n a rocker, smiling agreed. Collins, a Civil War veteran, re plied his financial plight after be ing mustered out of the army. He ;aid he had a hard time at first, Dut always managed to eke out an existence. He finally succeeded in getting an $8 a month pension and svith that money bought and paid for the house where they are now living. Eight of eleven children are now living and Collins recalled how at the last reunion he gave each of them $100. "And I had 15 or 20 cents left, too,” he chuckled. A Republican, he expressed a hope President Roosevelt would tome out on top, but, he added: "I just don’t see how he is going to do it.” Plymouth Hits Million Mark Setting a new all-time record for the automotive industry the mil lionth Plymouth came off the pro tection line in Detroit last week, tvith Walter P. Chrysler at the wheel. As Mr. Chrysler stepped from the :ar and punched an O. K. card, aundreds of exectives and em ployes who had gathered for the teremony broke into a great cheer. Many of them had heen with the Chrysler Motors organization since the first .Plymouth was built in july, 1928. His coat off, and with a broad smile on his face, Mr. Chrysler waved to the employes, thanked them for making his achievement possible, and with B. E. Hutchin son, chairman of the board; D. S. Eddins, viceTpresident and general Fair Dancer - --T—:a Lillian Cairns. Davenport, Iowa, in a dance pose in the Horticultural gardens at the World’s Fair. She will compete in the All-American dance contest finals which are scheduled to be held in the free Lagoon theater at the Fair, Sep tember 29. manager; H. G. Moock, general sales manager, and other Plymouth officials posed for a battery of news cameras Also present was K. T. Keller, vice-president of Chrys ler Motors. Never before in the history of the automobile business has any manufacturer constructed a million cars of one make in so short a time. A telegram from Mrs. Ethel Mil ler, hotel manager of Turlock, Cal., asked Mr. Chrysler to reserve the millionth car for her. It was Mrs. Miller who purchased the first Ply mouth ever built and she still has it. ! Order Change In Assessments General Stores InFuture Will Pay Only One Code Authority Washington.—Wholesale and re tail store proprietors in North Caro olina will not be further harassed by demands to pay assessments to code authorities of the recovery ad ministration except the one which represents the chief - or principal line of goods that they sell. Gen eral Johnson, administrator, has issued an order that only one as sessment, that representative of the chief line of goods carried, can be levied for the present. Meanwhile, a new formula is being worked out to meet the situation. The variety of merchandise hand led by the small store, or the gen eral store which sells "anything the farmer needs”—types which are important factors in the total re tail business—brings their opera tions under a number of codes. The local store owner has been harassed by demands to pay assessments to all of these code authorities. De partment stores and wholesale dis tributors, also are importantly af fected. Under the order issued they will pay assessments only to the code authority for the code governing their principal line of business with few exceptions. It was pointed out that where' a wholesaler or retairer is also engag ed in some other line of business such as manufacturing, this order will not prevent collection of as sessment on the other business by the code authority for that business. In a very few cases, notably ice and solid fuel, the right to collect assessments on a secondary line of business already has been granted. Pet Rattler Bites Owner Morganton—Seven hours after a large pet rattlesnake ha3" sunk poisonous fangs in his arm, Ed Carswell, 4 5-year-old farmer of the Bridgewater community, known fof the past 15 years as a snake charmer, died in a local hospital. It was his first time to be bitten by a rattler, although other so-called poisonous species of his pets had struck him without ill effect. The rattler, which he had recent ly acquired to take the place of a reptile which died last winter, was coiled around Carswell’s neck, with its head resting on the farmer’s left arm when it sank its fangs just above the elbow. Carswell killed the reptile and was rushed to the Grace hospital, losing consciousness 30 minutes be fore death. He is survived by his, wife and five children, one of whom, a 16 year-old daughter, witnessed the tragedy. A brother also has kept snakes as a hobby. The new orders it was announced, will have no retroactive effect on these industries, which may con tinue to collect as they have in the past. The products under these codes are not ordinarily sold by general wholesalers and retailers. The order also allows code au thorities, subject to NRA approval, to enter into agreements with each other in setting up plans for col lecting and allocating assessments. A good many people think the bareheaded fad among young men will hurt the hat trade and cause the boys to get colds in winter, but anyway we shan’t have to Worry for fear the boys will talk through their hats.

Neb.—A bolt of lightning struck an ornamental fish pond at the home of Rudolph Schruender. The water was licked up; the basin destroyed. But not a fish was injured. All are thriving in a new goldfish bowl. In spite of all they say about the drought, many of the orators refuse to dry up.
