SEVLE T0 STARE B SHOW N 152 United States Invited to Par- ticipate in Exposition on Spanish Soil. Seville, Spain &n i¥ to be the scene of Ibero-American exposition in 1927, The United States has been in- vited to participate. “Seville might be called the foster mother of the New World,"” says a bulietin from headquarters here of the National Geographic Society vill was one of the favorite resldence cities of Ferdinand and Isabell. and there Co'umbus dis- cussed with them his epoch-making voyage to the west When he sailed it was from Palos, a few miles from the mouth the Guadalquivir, on the lower reaches of which Seville lies, and in later years he sailed from or returned to San Lucar, a sort of outlying port of Seville, where the Guadalquivir meets the sea. Seville in Major Role. “As soon as the exploitation of the New World began in earnest it was Seviile that played the major role. There nlost of the expeditions were #rranged, sailing either from the river port itself or from San Lucar. To control the New World trade, the Spanish severeigns gave Seville a nonopoly, and into this city poured the treasu that the galleons brought across the sea, and from it flowed the product of the home- Jand. It became the richest port in Spain, and remained so for about two centuries, when, due to the siiting of the Guadalquivir, Cadiz surpassed it. “To most readers of history and geography one of the fascinating fea- tures of Spain is its mixture of Ca: tilian and Moorish factors. Nowhere are the r Its of this union of the two diverse civill: »ns seen to bet- ter advantage to than in Seville, the metropolis of the South, ‘the pearl of Andalusia.’ Likened to Granada's Alhambra. “Though Gi ably surpasecs it at most only tectural excellence tween these ©f the Moor| other architectural is fairly turated in a Moorish at- mosphere.

Beautiful pal- aces were built, the streets were paved and lighted, dwellings were ar- tificlally heated in Winter, more luxurious residents cooled their houses in Summer with air piped from flower gardens that it might be scent- ed as well. The libraries of the city drew scholars from ail Europe, chem- ists worked in its halls of learning, and from the tall Giralda tower as- tronomers of no mean ability studied the stars. Music, art and literature fAourishe Now a Flourishing Port. “No wonder a city with such tradi- tions produced in later years a Velas- quez. a Murillo and a ntes, or harbored such adventurous travelers as Columbus, Magellan and the nada’s Alhambra prob- eville's Alcazar, there a minor gulf bf archi- and beauty be- two great masterpieces h palace builders; and in features Seville lle—or properly, ‘Sevilla’ for the English language has taken lib- erties with the city'’s name—has re- turned to its rank of importance in gouthern Spain and is today a flour- tshing port as well as a great city.

It lies 54 mlles up the Guadalquivir River from the Gulf of Cadiz, well within tide water, and, thanks to modern dredging and channel straightening, ships of 4,000 tons reach its extensive quay Crooked Alleys, Brond Avenues. “The older part of Seville bears a strong impress of its Moorish past— close-set white houses, overhanging baleonies, glimpses of orange-shaded patios and splashing fountains; nar- row streets that double and twist and seem to lead nowhere.

Ed- ward Ostrander of Newark, N. J., today filed a claim with Secretary Hoover for the coffee-drinking championship of the United States, backing up his claim with the statement that he drinks about 3,764 cups a year. Having read a Department of Commerce announcement that the average yearly consumption of coffee in the United States is 500 cups for each persom, Mr. Ostran- der wrote in to tell the Secretary that he drinks about 12 cups a day except Sundays, totaling 3,764 cups a year. “That's what I call coffee drink- ing,” he suid. “Do 1 win :the priz the steps of Pedro the Crue], who, armed with his trusty rapier. played | by night in this Western Bagdad & role like that of Haroun al Raschid. For those who prize the modern meth- ods of city building there are the broad, airy,thoroughfares of the new- er parts of Seville, and the shady gar- dens and parks along the banks of the muddy Guadalquivir. “Seville's latitude is that of Ric mond. Va., but its climate is semi tropical. Palms flourish and roses and oranges bloom the year round. The Winters, Springs and Autumns are de- lightful, but in Summer the tempera- ture is uncomfortably hot during much of the day. The ardent Summer sun does not bother the seasoned Sevillano overmuch, however. He has developed to perfection the art of living in such a cljmate. From shortly before mid- day for four or five hours Seville takes its siesta, leaving the streets practically deserted.

Rising more than 300 feet, it tops everything in Seville. The lower two-thirds of the structure was built about 1200 A. D. by the Moors to serve as a call tower for their mosque, and the upper portion was added in_the same style by Spanish builders in 1568. “From the Giralda one sees the bright, clean city of Seville spread out in every direction. It is set in a vast plain of extreme fertility. The squares and triangles of gardens and flelds fill the ground for many miles. Beyond rise hills covered with vineyards and olive orchards.
