E. P. QUAIN Preparations had been made on the Great White Line 8. 8. Castilla to’ give the passengers a fine Christmas celebration. Christmas Eve was in-' tended to be a memorable occasion for “getting acquainted.” The need for left harbor the day before, because | marly half of the passengers were traveling alone. The dining salon was decorated in as “Christmassy” a) fashion as one could expect from a head steward who had ‘been born and bred on the southern frontier of the South. The menu showed that .| the cooks had done justice to their Jobs but they, too, had received their | higher education in the South and were not aware that one—just one— big platter full of lutefisk was an es- | Sential at this particular dinner, in order to make everybody happy Drums, horns, balloons, serpantines, and other gadgets and whatnots were supplied liberally at each plate. But, there was a disappointment! Only a few of the expected guests ar- rived. All day it had been suspected that a mysterious and contagious disease, both physical and mental in nature, was raging among the pas- sengers. Several showed distinct symptoms of having gone “loco.” They would come sneaking up on the decks from time to time and, with Pale faces and staring eyes, look across the railing, apparently trying ‘to learn for themselves whether or not the horizon was still in place. One look would usually be enough to as- certain that, as a matter of fact, the horizon had been torn loose from its moorings and was swinging recklessly up and down, disregarding the effect on everybody’s center of gravity. The frightened people would then rush back to their cabins where they beg- ged to be left alone until the ship had been fastened firmly to some |Jand, or other—Christmas or no Christmas. | Most Folks Couldn't Come At the Christmas Eve dinner party only about # fourth of the passen- gers on the list, composed of about, 140 people in all, presented themselves in person. After dinner this small) minority turned into an impromptu choral union and it 1s believed that] place. every Christmas song and most other| songs ever heard down in Dixie were given a try. A few Spanish, French) and German songs, mostly solos, in- terspersed the program. It was learned at Weinacht, LaVeille de Noel Vispera de la Navidad, Julaften, atid Christmas Eve all refer to the same occasion. Needless to say, all who were able to be present had an enjoyable time! And the reindeer with their akjas kept up their even rythmic gallop) toward the south. Christmas Day on board ship had nothing remarkable to offer. Take that back! A series of drenching] showers on Christmas Day with water as warm as that en- joyed in a bath tub brought forth comments from the few passengers from the far north. Bathing in an outdoor swimming pool at Christmas time also seemed @ bit unusual to the same people. It was unfortunate that several of us had forgotten to include a bathing suit in the winter outfit. Most of my time and energy during these days was taken up by “Gone With the Wind”—to the shameful neglect of the many irregu- lar Spanish verbs needing immediate attention, Yes, We Have the Bananas ‘The steamer stopped at Tela on the coast of Honduras one morning after breakfast, The only excuse Tela has for being on the map at all is the fact that the United Fruit company has built a long pier at this point. From here bananas and other trop- ical products can be loaded directly into the ships from railroad cars by means of movable cranes and elevat- ors. The railroad reaches far into) the banana districts and is owned by the same company. The old town Of Tela looks dilapidated and lies be- yond the new and very modern sec- tion which was built to serve as headquarters for the company and as homes for the hundreds of Ameri- cans working for the company, many of whom have their families with them. ‘We were to spend s whole day at Tela while the Castilla unloaded and Te-loaded. The fruit company gave @ free train excursion to one of the larger banana plantations, 23 miles inland. This courtesy is extended to’ every boat load of passengers. It is call the company’s method of telling the world: “Yes, we have the best ban- anas!” Serpentarium Closed It had been my intention to spend the day visiting the serpentarium es- tablished here several years ago by Harvard university for the prepera- tion of anti-snake venom, On land- ing, however, it was found that, for unknown reasons, the institution had been closed some time ago. Since the serpents offered no en- tertainment, a decision was made to Join the excursion to the bananas. It was a four-hour trip and gave a demonstration of how the banana bunch grows, and how it is cut down and transported successively on @ man’s shoulder, a mule’s back, & freight car and a ship in order to reach some far away seaport from whence the final distribution takes » The number of millions of bunches shipped by this company from Honduras and Guatemala passes, all comprehension. The banana is just beginning to find its ultimate place as an import- ant addition to everybody’s dietary. One of the passengers on the Castilla was @ young engineer from Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology who came to install a new type of ma- chinery at Puerto Cortez, another Honduran banana port, The pro- cess to be followed is based on cer- tain recent inventions. It will put the banana through a series of physical and chemical treatments and reac- tions in order to produce banana flour. It is believed that this will become used all over the world and eventually take the place of some of ! JANUARY AT THE STATE FUR CO. 35 to 50% SALE ENDS SATURDAY NIGHT AT 9 P. M.

Americans Improve Town Tela was known in the past chiefly for its unsanitary and unheaithy con- ditions. However, the American in- vasion has repeated here in matters of sanitation, although in a smaller way, what was done in Panama, The ‘company maintains an up-to-date hos- pital with first-class equipment and personnel. Sanitary officers look after the prevention of tropical diseases. From the train it was noticed that all stagnant pools near Tela had films of oil floating on top to prevent the development of mosquito larvae.

Military observers slong the frontiers to report movements of for- eign “volunteer” troops. Informed sources declared the prin- cipal obstacle in the way of the plan was Portuguese unwillingness to per- mit regulation of border movements along the Portuguese-Spanish frontier. A ship believed to have flown Brit- ish colors, sank near Bilbao Friday, the result, it was reported, of striking an explosive mine. The vessel was believed to have been of about 4,000 tons. A quantity of wreckage had been sighted. Authorities announced that “mys- terious gunfire” within insurgent lines in the Mount Ascension sector near Eibar led them to suppose insurgent forces were fighting among themselves. New York, Jan. 29.—(?)—The Cap- tain of the coastwise vessel Shawnee wirelessed late Friday morning he had succeeded in extinguishing a fire in the No. 2 hold after a fight of several hours during which he dis- patched a preemptory SOS distress Laden with 190 passengers and a cargo of fruits, vegetables and cot- was bound from Jacksonville and Miami for New York when her skip- per wirelessed @ call from a position off Cape Henry, Virginia, for assist- ance at 6 a. m.
