PORTD RO FILED T RICHSCENERY Interior Presents Many Sur- prises to Tourist Among Its Frequent Villages. EDITOR'S NOTE—Thix Is the recon: a weries of Tes on _Pe R Twenty-seven Years of Pr American Rule,” prepared by A after personal investigations in the island. BY GIDEON A. LYON. 1L Sevi strikingly descriptive names have been bestowed upon Porto Rico and have be part of the common speech of those islanders who pride in their homeland and seek to express It in set terms.

That will give a fairly sug- gestive basis of comparison. It is about 100 miles long and 30 miles wide. To the lover of motor speed those fig- res suggest that the island can be thoroughly “done” in a day.’ That is an error soon to be corrected when the tourlst undertakes to cover the space within a narrow time limit.

Now the road winds through a cutting the walls of which are richly amber in tone, with the mosses and ferns giving a greenish veining. Again, it twists along queer-shaped cones of coral formation that have been thrust sharply up from the level flelds, deeply indented by the weather, with ' gaunt eyes peering forth to watch the new life that is pulsing past. Some of them are bare to the tops and others are covered with plants and trees. One wonders why the thrifty tillers of the soil do not plant things in the cups and hollows and cavelike holes.

Many of these free seats for the people ve been given by large corporations nd by business firms, whose titles are thus blazoned for the world to see. One Prolonged Main Street. Rural Porto Rico is one prolonged main street. In the smaller towns the thoroughfare highway is the chief artery of traffic. The villages are mere clusters of dwellings and shops. The church, the municipal building, the school, the market, are all cen- tered upon the single street. The traveler after a little while be comes conscious of something missing from the scene. It is hard to identify the lack. Then perhaps it will sud- denly come to mind. There are no chimneys in the island, save the great stacks of the centrals, or sugar mills. No dwelling has a chimney, for the simple reason that heating fires are not required and all the cooking is done over charcoal. SGNS TDINDCATE LIMITED PARKING Director Eldridge Reveals Plans for Putting New Code in Effect. Signs will be erected on those strests on which parking will be re- stricted during morning and evening rush hours, beginning next Monday, Traffic Director Eldridge sald today. It may be necessary at the start to use temporary markers while perma- nent signs are being prepared, he added. The new traffic code becomes effec- tive Sunday, May 3, but since the parking rules are not operative Sun- days, motorists will get their first ex- perience with them Monday, May 4. At those busy points where the new code prohibits a left-hand turn police- men probably will be stationed to guide trafic until drivers become fa- miliar with the rules. Mr. Eldridge will spend much of his time this week addressing various clubs and organizations as part of a campaign of education to famillarize the public with the new rules. The | director also expects to speak on the radio some day this week with the new code as his subject. Arterial highways, Mr. Eldridge sald today, will not be established here until he has had time to study care fully the best methods of operating them in other cities |alded in bringing great credit to the military forces of the United States.” Mr. Davis pinned the medal on Maj.

But even the two-day tour leaves practically all of Porto Rico undi covered—that is, the real Porto Rico, industrial, agricultural and social. For there are several Porto Ricos, and it is Bard to say which is the most in- teresting. The hasty traveler will s the huts of the jibaros in the hills— tiny thatched or tin-roofed cabins on | stilts, with plenty of children playing about in the spaces in front—or he will see the jibaro himself trudging along the road or at work in the flelds. But he will not get to know the jibaro at all by these glimpse And the jibaro is well worth knowing. 1 will later present him to my readers. i Stretches of Hills. The swiftly motoring tourist will see great stretches of hill country, appar- ently forested to the crests, and will not know, unless well guided, that those seemingly untilled valleys and slopes are productive of great riches in coffee, tobacco, pineapples, bananas, oranges, grapefruit and sugar cane. He #vill perhaps comment upon the apparently waste lands that border the roads, fields that seem to have gone to weeds. He will not know that those are resting lands, turned to pasture for a season or two after in- tensive sugar cropping or tobacco cul- ture. The marvel of Porto Rico is the fact that it is working hard to the Mmit of the soil and the strength of a popula- tion until a few years ago sadly de- leted by disease of a mysterious, baf- ing nature. The hills today bear no tokens of disasters that have befallen the island in the form of terrific hurri- canes, such as that of 26 years ago, which nearly bankrupted Porto Rico. Recovery is swift here, for nature is prodigal with her forcs New Schools Going Up. The whizzing motor car, bearing its group of hurried travelers, rushes past an apparently futile pile of build- ing material, remote from settle- ment. Men are engaged in doing things, but before the scheme of the project can be discerned the car has passed, and those within it are un- aware that here is one more of the evidences of the foundation building that has been in progress in Porto Rico for a quarter of a century—a new rural schoolhouse, consolidating & number of tiny schools scattered along the road or in the hills, where the youngsters are learning their les- sons, including English. These* new: schools are arising in the most unex- q:@(‘(ed places. To the average “conti- ental’” tourist they would seem to be badly placed, for they are not near any large towns. But it is always to be borne in mind that Porto Rico is little else than one great town, so closely it is inhabited. Then the motor car swings around a bend in the road. one of the many hundreds of bends that are to be nego- tiated in the course of a day’s driv- ing, and the scene changes in the twinkling of an eye from pastoral to mountainous. The valley dips deeply to a great distance, and the v sweeps far ahead to not merely but two, or perhaps three, ran; P high hills beyond. Half an hour ear- * ller the road was within eyeshot of the sea, the Atlantic or the Caribbean. Now it is as though this were the cen- ter of a great continent, many hun- dreds of miles from the ocean. It is hard to realize that just over that last ridge just crossed lies the waterway to the far-distant mainland. Color in Profusion. Color lies on the landscape in prodi- gal profusion. The hills are green, brown, yellow, lavender and purple, according to crops and to distance. The roadside is a kaleidoscope of the brightest tints. Flowering shrubs dorn the dooryard of the humblest fiut. No roadside dweller lacks some bit of brightness in his premises, Often the front garden of a cane-field worker, whose children are tumbling about in the dirt, with only the cloth- ing provided by nature, will have a botanic varlety tnat would do credit o the most particular urban horticul- turist. There will be a hunch of cro- tons of a wide range of tones, rich and mellow and highly decovative: a hibis- cus with glorious red blossoms; o graceful spray of bamboo grass; a cascading bougainvillea, with its matchless purple, or a coral vine with its tiny red blossoms massing into bouquets of exquisite beaut. In the mountains are many immor- telle trees with rich pinkish blossoms, which in falling carpet ths road like hre rugs. The March-comer is made 'o wish he had arrived a few iweeks Jater, for he is told that he is missing s. the flamboyant tree's profusion of flaming color, These arg unlovely in mple. because, main, the soil in Porto Rico is tena. cious and does not wash readily. It clings to the rock bases, save as against the most furious storms. A pineapple plantation may climb almost to the top of a ridge in smooth se- quence of rows, with channel lines left for the flow of the rains. Some think that there is too much planting of toba in the hills, for tobacco, | being a true weed. has but slight root- | age ana will not hold the soil against | | very heavy fains, and there is in some | sections much loss of hill soil on this account. Surprises, T have said, are common But perhaps the most surprising thing in Porto Rico, so far as my own ex- perience has gone, is the sudden ap. pearance of a great gorge cut by the Manati River through a ridge of rather high hills a few miles above! the town of Manati and a short dis- tance north of the smaller town of Ciales. This is in about the exact center of the island, as between east and west, though somewhat north of the true center. . Rock Cutting of Past. Going north from Manati, and hence from the Atlantic, the road has been winding about as usual, rising stead- ily above a fertile, thickly cultivated valley plain. Suddenly, without the least warning, one more turn brings one into view of a titanic example of hill slicing. The river, now a modest stream, incapable of any such heavy work, has at some time in the very remote past cut straight down through the heart of three good sized eleva- tions, from summits to bases, leaving’ them’ exposed to the scrutiny of geol- ogists in all their structure. These three triangular surfaces of gray, al- most white, rock show two remarkable cleavage lines, parallel, about 40 feet apart, as even as though the huge blocks of masonry had been laid by a giant master hand. The summits are about 200 feet above the placid streim, which flows in innocent calmness, with lan air of utter irresponsibility for the | rock cutting done in past ages. The spectacle is utterly unexpected. The beholder is astonished. On every hand are other evidences of the huge- scale slicing work—walls of sheer, white rock looming up to great heights, sometimes in unbroken planes of many acres, again in rounded for- {mations, like immense bow windows thrust over the edge of the cliff, hon- eycombed with cave mouths high from the possibility of access. One of these pinnacles exposes a giant human pro- file to view. Eating Into CLff. J®st beyond the main view of the gorge the river makes a sharp turn, coming squarely against a tall cliff, into the base of which it is undoubt’ edly eating an undermining hole. Some day that cliff will fall and choke the river, and then the scene will be changed again. Half a mile away the traveler turns and looks back, but there is no sign of the gorge. The surprise lies await- ing the next comer, to arouse his as- tonishment in_this island of constant variety—this Switzerland of America. Porio Rico's towns and cities are mostly built on a standard pattern. There is, always a_ plaza, or central square, facing which is invariably the largest, or in the case of the smaller places, the only, church. Some of these plazas are beautiful parks; others| are simply broad, paved spaces. The | plaza at San Juan is one of the least| attractive in Porto Rico. That at; Ponce is celebrated for its trees and pavilions. Ponce’s plaza has a dis- tinctive feature in the ornate home of | the “bombera,” or firemen. These red- | Shirted public servants add to the ple- turesqueness of this old town. Statues of Patriot. Nearly every town and city in Porto, Rico has its statue of Murioz Rivera, the island’s hero. He is depicted in a great variety of sculptured forms, now Sitting, now standing. The Ponce statue of Munoz Rivera does not flat-{ ter him. The statue standing on the | grounds of the university at Rio Pledras shows the patriot faithfully in an attitude of attention, with his silk PLEASE | LEAVE THE | this fuel is heavy, and is making seri- ous inroads upon the forests that still remain. Out in the country are many “tiendas,” or provision stores. It is the ambition of every jibaro to become the proprietor of a tienda. He may sink all of his very hard earned and painfully accumulated capital in a few weeks of ownership, but he has had his dream and is thenceforth happy. Up in the hills the villages are farther apart and the towns are smaller. Finally, as the road winds to the crest, there are only occasiinal dwellings, with an infrequent tienda, or a “comerio,” or road-tender’s sta. tion. But up above on the slopes are hidden the huts of the jibaros and down in the valleys others dot the scene. Far across the deep vales, per- haps a thousand feet below, may be seen the laborers in the field, tiny ant- like figures in white, working, plod- ding faithfully contributing to the golden stream that is ceaselessly flow- ing to the sea and thence to the great markets of the world. _ This is the Porto Rico of greatest interest—this remote, half-hidden in- ner land of intense quiet, of rich beauty of scene, of pathetic toil, of serenity of disposition, of faith in the righteousness of those who are ap- pointed to govern and administer.

April 27.—Exer- cises commemorating the landing 318 years ago of the first American set- tlers under Capt. Newport were con- ducted at Cape Henry this afternoon. The ceremonies were held at what is said to be the spot where the voy- agers from England landed to set up a cross and give thanks for their safe deliverance from the sea before proceeding to Jamestown Island, where they established the first per- manent English settlement on the new continent. . Judge B. D. White of the Virginia judiciary delivered the principal ad- dress, in which he paid tribute to the colonists and the ideals and principles of government which they brought with them to America. Dignitaries from the Episcopal Church conducted the religious rites, and hymns popular three centuries ago were sung. A large crowd made the pilgrimage to the sand dunes of the coast for the exercises. The first hypnotic clinic for the dtagnosis and treatment of disease in the United States was recently held at the Wisconsin Psychiatric Institute at Mendota. ¢ OO TS A “SHADE 830 13th St. N.W.
