REAL E TANCOIVER BOAS SN BEST PR City Harding Visits on Re- turn From Alaska Is Ameri-' | ican in Mood and Design. oll Wancouver, where President Hard- ing will be one of the few Presidents tojipay a friendly visit beyond the barders of the United States, has one of the half dozen safest and most com- mopdious harbors in the world, says a bylletin from the National Geographic Botiety. dndeed, the Vancouver citizen will tell you that it is the “second finest harbor in the world,” generously leaving you to pick the first for you: self. Shipping news of Vancouver often Is shipping history as when, regently, the Empress of Canada cut down the trans-Pacific running time to a new low record, and her crew was feted by the city for their per- formance. . The Vancouver -enthusiast pro- claims his city “American"—and it is just that in respect to enterprise, zest and clvic spirit. In loyalty, though, It Is extremely Canadlan and it _typifies the spirit of modern Can- ada as vividly as our own Kansas City, St. Louis and Omaha represent our vigorous Mississippi - Missouri vailey. Rivalry of Two Citles. Vancouver is five hours from Vi toria by boat; but the two are fi centuries apart in some of their cu toms. Their feeling toward —each other is not one of Jjealousy—th are too different for that, Victoria r gards Vancouver as a growing boy, of in exuberant, spirited and a bit too flushed with his own achievements; Vancouver looks upen Victoria with the respect and tolerance one bestows upon a gentle maiden aunt who is a Bt o1d-fashioned. Victoria 18 frankly Vietorian; Vancouver is aggressively modern Vancouver considers her commer- cial rival the third city of this un- usual water-bound civic triangle, which is Seattle. She tries to con- vince the thousands of summer tour- ists, the great majority from “the States,” that she has sights to offer as well as Victorfa; and she seeks to show the business man that she af- fords the best shipping facilities north- of San Franclsco. Vancouver has her troubles with nomenclature, as has San Francisco. “When you say Vancouver you mean the city” is the gist of the idea she seeks to impart. If you speak of Vancouver Islald, Vancouver would have. you, as would the Victorians, aimply say “the island.” It troubles Vancouver a bit to have the capital city of British Columbia lqcated on “the island,” but occasional sugges- tions of a change have never been taken seriously.

Park In Renowned. Vancouver's Stanley Park, with its glant cedars and firs, is renowned and its lure attracts the sea-borne visitor as he passes the “first nar- rows” of the city’s harbor. The city has preserved its trees and flowers, though they occupy a peninsular water-front site where real estate is ata premium. P vany. ich Its clean eets, new office build- ings. modern apartments, brisk traf- fic, all are a rt of its modernism. v Its distinctive recreation facility is its English bathing beach, where, un- til a few years ago, the women kept pretty much to one end of the beach and men to the other. That time has passed. But the custom of wearing one’s bathing robe to the edge of the water survives; and when it is re- moved it would seem that the actual swimming costume is meant, from its brevity, for swimming. It is not voluminous enough to hamper the swimmer. There is no parading the beach in these costumes. One goes to the English bathing beach to get in the water. BAKER FINED $1,000 AND LIQUOR SEIZED Brother of Ex-Secretary of War Ad- mits Failure as Amateur Rum Runner. By the Associnted Press. NEW YORK, July 28—Jullan B.

Meanwhile his thirty-foot cabin cruiser Modesty and six cases of whisky it carried are being held by the government.
