States, according to criticisms in 1791, selected a site for its capital far from the beaten path, the newly formed Federatios of Central America has seleoted one that is even more remote and inac- cessible,” says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic Soclety. “Tegucigalpa (a name which when (Regular.Pritc 856 39c for limited time ONLY" 13c extra (Regualar price 29¢) Get this’handy Stew Pan TODAY Use it on your own stove. _ You then will realize why so ‘many women prefer “Wear-Ever” kitchen utensils for every kind of cnoking.v/You also will KNOW from your own ex- perience that “Wear-Ever” insures better flavored foods and that it effects a material SAVING in the amount of fuel consumed in preparing meals. “Wear-Ever” utensils keep food P ory S0 i i i o A i e v 8 RESOCED i B oo Sionl Behict tavor.

Its citizens have their share of th hospitality for which Latin America Is noted, but nature has placed rough country between the city and the two oceans that bathe the shores of Honduras, and man has done little to overcome the handicap. only capital on the North American continent that has never echoed to the more or less musical blast of a rallroad locomotive, and one of the few railroadless capitals in the western hemisphere. Nor may one yet travel to the new national capi- tal by automobile. Eighty Miles From Port. “Tegucigalpa is some eighty miles inland from its Pacific port, Lorenzo, on highlands more than 3,000 fe ve sea level. A road, which is more than a trail but less than a | connects , the two points. the elghty miles in three days by mule back, and if they are traveling | light, may take their belongings along by pack mule. Trunks must n more slowly by ox-cart. ! erior of the country, ‘with its flanks in the air, as a military man might describe it, is a fifty-mile highway in good condition extending between Tegucigalpa and the second most important town of Honduras, Comayagua. Over this road automo- biles operate regularly. “Tegucigalpa is miles from the Atlantic, or rather, the Carribbean sea, but Americans can reach the capital more quickly from the Atlantic than from the Pa- cific side, due to the fast steamer service from w Orleans and Mo- bile. Puerto_Cortez is\ the north shore port. From there a railroad extends for a short distance toward the interior, and from the rail head the journey by mule back to Teguci- galpa occupies five or six days. Capital Quiet Plare. “The capital is as quiet a place as | f| its inaccessibility would indicate. Its population is riously estimated at 20,000 to 37,000. Most of its build- ings are of one story with walls of adobe or masonry and roofs of tile. :Though it is isolated now, Teguci- galpa does not mean to remain so and perhaps its choice as capital of the new Central American Federa- tion is an earnest that it will soon have rail connections with the out- side wbrld. The government of the state adopted an ambitious rail- building program a generation ago, but financial ruin overtook the en- terprise. In recent years a number of railroads have been built from the north coast by large banana com- panies, and some of these are being slowly extended toward the capital. “The Federation of Central Amer- ica, consisting now of Guatemala, San Salvador and Honduras, hopes in the near future to enroll Nicaragua and Costa Rica among its members. If these two_countries to the south join, Tegucigalpa will be almost exactly at the geographical center of the new federation’s territory. URGES ECONOMY FOR ALL. McCormick Says State and City Must Follow Federal Lead. CHICAGO, September 23.—The United States must make efficient and eco- nomical public administration if it is to reduce {its burden of taxation, Senator Medill McCormick sald in an address before the Chicago Church Federation. Ending of the vast arma- ments of the world is not alone the || problem, he declared. - “We must seek to reduce public ex- penditures in the city, in the state, in the nation,” he continued, “and thus lighten the burden of the taxpayer and the consumer. In Washington we kave made progress in the curtail- ment of appropriations. The expen- ditures of the national government have been reduced 40 per cent over a period of two years, at the same time that local taxes have increased a like mount. “Ff government is to discharge its duties to the citizen, and at the same time the burden of taxation is to be lightened, we must seek to energize, to make efficient and economjcal th administration of the public services.
