' | AIRPORT PROBABLE HEAD OF RALWAY {Tegucigalpa, Honduras, May Have Landing Field Before Locomotive Is Seen. An airport may be built at Teguci- alpa, Honduras, before its inhabitants gesl’ the whistle of a railroad engine. It is reported that the Honduran cap- jtal will be made a base on an air Toute between the United States and Central American Republics. “Tegucigalpa, which lies in the hills of Honduras, due south of Chicago, is one of those cities which, though some- what isolated, keeps travel writers re- vising their notes,” says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geo- graphic Society. “Slightly more than a decade ago a correspondent of the Society, describ- ing his visit to Tegucigalpa Wwrote: *From Amapala (a port on the Pacific coast, of Honduras) a launch is taken to San Lorenzo where necessary mules should be arranged for in advance since they have to come from a town some miles away. If a light pack is all the traveler has, it can be taken with him on a mule; otherwise it is better and cheaper to send heavy bag- gage forward by oxcart. Tegucigalpa should be reached in three days.’ Famous for Hospitalit “While the same route now is taken by the traveler who approaches it from the Pacific Coast, the three days’ trip has been cut to but a few hours. Three hours after boarding a boat at Amapala the traveler arrives at San Lorenzo and | is comfortably seated in an automobile for the trip over the Honduran hills to the capital, 61 miles inland. The mules and oxcarts still plod the highway but truck and automobile traffic is replac- ing this antiquated mode of transpor- tion. ““Tegucigfllpa means ‘Silver Hill” Sil- wer and gold mined in the neighbor- hood brought the city into the spot- light many times during the past two centuries, Between 1778 and 1820 $200,000,000 worth of thes: precious metals was produced. Intermittent po- litical trouble threatened the city's growth from time to time but between disturbances it prospered. “Today Tegucigalpa has 39,000 in- thabitants, who are noted for their hos- itality. 'Commenting on his visit to he Honduran capital during his South American flight, Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh wrote: ‘For two days I visited with the friendly people of Tegucigalpa &nd it w: : with regret that I took the air on January 5 * * *’ City Among Hills. “The city, nestling among the fer- file Honduras hills, basks in the tropi- cal sun. No railroad yards or ship docks are there to disturb the eardrums of the natives, but the noise of the market place furnishes excitement aplenty. Here the rural fol': attempt sunersalesmanship by word of mouth and wild gestures, ‘Wwhile the city folk, Latins that they are, wait for an open- ing to drive home a bargain. “Most of the buildings in the capital are but one story, forming monotonous Tows along narrow cobbled streets. Now and then the streets open into parks but the real beauty spots of the city ar. to be Zound in the courtyards which many of the houses surround. A peep into some of them reveals ar- tisticelly laid- out gardens and walks, forming colorful frames for splashing fountains. “Modern buildjngs, rising above the old, tiled, housetops are appearing, but the outstanding structure is the Casa Presicencia, the Honduran ‘White House.’ It is a magnificent stone building of two stories with a fortress- like wall nearly surrounding it. “While’the airplane reached Teguci- galpa before the steam engine, rail- roads are pushing their way from the Atlantic Coast inland toward the city. Nearly one-third of the trip from Puerto Cortes on the Atlantic Coast, to ‘Tegucigalpa now may be made by rail- road, which connects with a good high- 3 . PRINCE CYRIL IN U. S. Brother of Bulgarian King on First Visit Here. NEW YORK, January 21 (#) —Travel- as “Mr. Cyril Sokolski,” Prince Cyril, brother of King Boris of Bul- garia, arrived on the lider Berlin yes- terday for his first visit to thewUnited tes, ‘The Prince, not yet 30, was accom- Panied by Prof. Max Rabes of the Uni- versity of Erlangen, in Bavaria. The professor said that the visit of the Prince had no official significance and that his time would be devoted to a study of the country and its industries, particularly the automobile business, in which the Prince is especially interested. Prof. Rabes said that after a short #tay in New York the Prince planned &g\'ifllt several important centers of automobile industry and also to go %o Florida, the Grand Canyon and Yel- Yowstone Park. iy L OFFICERS TRANSFERRED. ©Capt.

PAZO PILES PLEA FOR IRENEN AT BY SHMONS for More Men, Saying City Is Above Quota. ‘The plans of Fire Chief George S. ‘Watson to increase the personnel of the fire department in advance of the con- struction of new firehouses were criti- cized by Chairman Simmons in con- nection with a request for an increas- ed appropriation to provide for an ad- ditional captain, lieutenant, sergeant and 15 privates were disclosed in the hearings made public today. Chairman Simmons pointed out that Congress provided for a number of ad- ditional firemen last year for the new engine house, to be located on upper Sixteenth street, and that these men had been assigned to various companies pending the erection of that building, which has been delayed by litigation in the courts. These men were hired for a specific purpose, Chairman Simmons said, which has given the fire department a surplus of 18 men. Simmons then cited a recent report of the Bureau of Efficiency which showed that the per capita number of firemen for Wash- ington exceeds the per capita number of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Kansas City and Toledo. Regardless of this report, said in reply, Washington’s fire engine companies have' barely a sufficient number of men on duty to run the service. “I am always anxious and I am al- ways trying to get an addition to that force,” Watson said. “I believe I am fully justified in asking you to counten- ance this addition to the number, be- cause until that house is built I will be able to give that much better serv- ice because we have those additional men. You will find if you inquire of the highest authority on fire aork, which is the National Board of Under- writers, that at the present time, even though we may be regarded as having more men than certain other cities, we are undermanned or have less than they think we should have.” RAISE SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Washington and Lee Alumni to Help D. C. School Graduates, District of Columbia alumni of Wash- ington and Lee University are organiz- ing & scholarship fund to send one or more graduates of District high schools prominent by reason of scholastic or athletic abilities to the institution. The project is being undertaken at the suggestion of Ty Rauber, athletic coach at Central High School and one of the most enthusiastic of the Gen- erals’ alumni. He broached it at a luncheon given by the association at the Carlton Hotel Saturday in celebration of the birthday anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The alumni are being consulted by the recently elected officers of the as- sociation, Elwood H. Seal, president, and Hunter Osborne, secretary-treas- urer. They will report at a luncheon meeting in“the near future. Ad Club to Hear Walsh. Senator David I. Walsh of Massachu- setts will deliver an address at a lunch- eon of the Washington Advertising Club in the Press Building, tomorrow after- noon at 12:30 o'clock. Again—DPrints, but with a subtle difference that heralds them as undeniably Spring 1929. Fascinat- ing little patterns and bold effects are smart. And the dresses themselves are the very essence of Spring in their sprightly debonair manner. Smart women and misses are finding them pleasant contrasts for present wear un- der Winter coats. ‘The Apparel Shop, Second Floor Chairman Criticizes Request| | ‘Watson | ‘THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©.” MONDAY, TANUARY' 21, 1999.° FILES VIEW ON PAY BILLS.
