MDY CTIZENS 0K CHEST PLANS Two Incinerators and Pro- posed Municipal Center Are Given Approval. Approving the plans and program of the Community Chest, the Mid-City Citizens’ Association, which met last night in the Thomson School Twelth and L streets, appropriated $50 for its support. Theodore G. Risley, solicitor for the Department of Labor, addressed the assembly on the chest. Plans for the construction of two incinerators, one in the southwest and one in the southeast section, met with | approval of the association. The proposed municipal center to be erected south of Pennsylvania avenue was discussed and decided to be a bene- ficial project. A resolution favoring its construction was indorsed. Comment- ing on the design of new structures which would eventually be constructed Iln Washington, the association recom- mended that all architectural plans for proposed buildings be submitted to the Fine Arts Commission and the Com- missioners. The Simmons bill, which provides for a $10,000,000 building program for schools, was approved. It was said that the appropriation would allow school officials to proceed with the pro- ram. g The section of the appropriation bill for the District which provides for selec- tion of teachers from the graduating classes of the various normal schools in Washington was opposed. It was said that the section had been passed as a “rider” on the appropriation bill is city. The bill provides that 25 pupils having the highest average in their classes will be fitted for ap- pointments to positions as teachers. Those falling below that average would be forced to take competitive exami- nations and would compete with students i WISE CUSTOMERS USE Cream‘Top | m@k ik bolile Breakfast must have cream.

Note—Greater light ank clearer perspective on Herbert Hoover’s trip to South America, in which untold diplomatic advantages were recorded for the United States, are to be gained from the interesting story written by Rex Collier, The Star’s own representative on the trip, which began January 20. The story, with all its intimate details, will continue in The Star until completed. BY REX COLLIER. L'Union, Salvador's principal sea- | port, shares with its friendly Honduran |rival, Amapala, the good fortnue of being caressed by the deep, commerce- inviting waters of the Gulf of Fonseca. ‘The American good-will party, in its small boats, had been introduced to L'Union’s harbor under rather unfa- vorable circumstances, but native busi- ness men were quick to explain that rough landing conditions such as we haa encountered were most rare. They pointed out that freighters of deep draught were rcgular callers at the port, and that passenger ships put in every now and then (o vary the mo- notony. The freighters brought hard- ware, farming machinery, cotton goods and other manufactured products from “the States,” and carried away huge cargoes of coffee, cacao, balsam, indigo and rubber. Attention was called to the fact that more than one-fifth of Salvador’s coffee, its main product, is shipped to the United States. And, had these native sons known the vernacular, they might have added with a sweep of the arm that “thar's gold in them hills"—and silver and copper and perhaps other valuable minerals. Only the gold and silver are being mined to any profitable extent, however. L'Union does not seem to take its importance too seriously. The city— any town in Central America with as many as 5,000 souls is a city—leads an casy-going sort of life until a ship comes in, when the routine livens up as much as a tropical sun will permit. A ship in the harbor means pesos in the pockets of dock loiterers, stimulation of shop trade, increased railroad traffic and a general revival of activity. Train Unhampered by Schedule. The arrival of a new kind of ship, bringing a cargo of good will, was an vent of exceptional interest. Most of the able-bodied citizenry had evidenced their interest, to the full limit of an undemonstrative make-up, by coming to the Cutuco wharves to witness the landing of the unusual passengers. ‘The newspaper men, intent on a bit of sight-seeing in L'Union, found that most of these spectators had preceded them to the station and onto the lone train, which was about to depart, now that the public reception was over. The train consisted of a wheezy little loco- motive, suggestive of a contractor’s “donkey engine,” several flat cars of the type used to haul lumber, and two antiquated passenger coaches. The coaches and the flat cars were crowded with natives. There appeared to be more standing room on the flat cars, so the Americans climbed aboard them. The dark-complexioned engineer gave a couple of blasts with his whistle and the cars jerked forward over the narrow gauge tracks. The trainmen, unhampered by time-tables, adapted their flexible schedules to meet condi- tions of traffic, it was indicated. The ride was a short one, and unin- teresting, through a stretch of fields and woods virtually uninhabited. The train ran right into the center of the town and halted in the business section. It was nearly dusk and the quaint town looked deserted, except for the passen- gers just deposited by the train. The sight-seeing party had no guide and the two members of the press who could speak Spanish had stayed in Cutuco to write stories. The prospects seemed “rosy” for an interesting evening. Quakes Discourage Substantial Building. The group started forward, aimlessly and curiously. They were on a narrow street paved with uneven stones and bordered by two-foot sidewalks of flag- stones. The thoroughfare was lined with rows of squat plastered buildings, badly in need of paint. Salvador has learned it doesn’t pay to build expensive, substantial houses, as they prove easy prey for earthquakes—and the little republic has more than its share of these unwelcome visitors. In fact, San Salvador has gained the sobriquet of “the swinging hammock.” The coun- try’s mountains are of volcanic origin and in addition to several peaks which are semi-occasionally eruptive there is that constantly flaming fire demon, Izalco, identified as the volcano whose glowing had been visible to those on the Maryland the night before. There were no doors on the houses, so members of the party felt free to pause of several of the residences whose flat stucco fronts were jammed against the sidewalk. In one of the front rooms the gay laughter of children attracted attention, and a glance behind the calico drapery partially covering the doorway disclosed, in the fading day- light, a group of four or five brown- skinned youngsters trying unsuccess- fully to ride the family pig. Evidently mamma and papa were visiting neigh- bors or had not yet returned from Cutuco. Some of the householders had substi- tuted folding screens for curtains at the front enrances, while others had no de- vice whatever. for shielding them from ! the gaze of passersby. Through the openings families could be seen at din- ner, or chatting about the day's events or reading or listening to the phono- graph. There were no movies to go to in L'Union, but there was, of course, that popular public place of assembly. the plaza. L'Union’s plaza was modeled along lines of a sunken' garden, with stone terraces and steps and welks and a small covered bandstand in the center of the park. The bandstand was for- saken this evening becauss L'Union’s band had an important engagement elsewhere—on the grounds of the rail- way building at Cutuco, to be explicit. Highway Development Planned. Mrs. Hoover and her secretary, Miss Fesler, came driving along in a shiny limousine about this time, and they loosened their grips on the handles of the bouncing car long enough to wave a greeting to their friends on the side- walk. The automobile was having diffi- culty with L'Union’s bumpy streets, some of which were haphazardly paved with cobbles and others with reddish dust. Only two other automobiles were seen there that evening. Salvador, how- ever, is eager to encourage automobile transportation, and has promulgated a definite highway development program, something that is lacking in her neigh- boring republic, Honduras. The American visitors had come to an agreement on two points. They would like to do some shopping and they would like to eat. The decision reached, the group started toward the far corner of plaza, where several structures with signs on them presented a business- like appearance. A real thrill swept the strangers when, on approaching closer, STAR, WASHINGTON, A street scene typical of picturesque L'Union, little seaport in Salvador, visited by the Hoover good-will mission. they read on one of the larger signs the words “American Hotel.” The building was a drab one-story affair, but that sign made it stand out magically among its neighbors. To add to the good for- tune, there was a well stocked general store in connection with the hostelry. It was getting dark rapidly, so the party thought it best to get the shop- ping over with. The store differed from | Ass CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY.

This | the_Covenant roup | of St. John's Churcl was a disappointment to the which had just entered noisily and aroused a copper-faced storekeeper from his nap. “Gems” Declared Valueless. They were looking for something “distinctive,” something peculiarly Sal- vadorian. the native behind the counter answer their inquiries in fairly good English, although, on second thought, they re- membered that the store was part of the American Hotel and its proprietor na- turally must know how to converse with American customers. It was either in this store, or one nearby, that a member of the press party bought a most distinctive pill box full of precious stones for the amazing sum of 35 pesos, or about 14 American dollars. A self-confessed jewelry expert on the Maryland later swore that with one or two possible exceptions, all the rubies and sapphires and amethysts and other stones in the box were of the same common origin as the stones on a 5-and-10 jewelry counter back home. Whether this was true or not remains a mystery that only the purchaser of those jewels can clear up, if he cares to. In fairness to L'Union’s merchants, it must be explained that the storekeeper who sold the gems did not guarantee them to be genuine. The shopping ex- periences in L'Union convinced the vis- itors that most of Qentral America’s “distinctive” souvenirs bear a “Made in U. S. A" stamp. Visions of a good American meal in the hotel restaurant next door impelled the visitors to descend confidently upon that institution. The thought of meet- ing, perhaps, a hotel manager or clerk who had wandered from Kansas, or somewhere, into the tropics and set himself up in the hotel business was ap- pealing. The lobby was not actually a lobby, but a barroom, with unpainted plank walls, a short mahogany bar and a couple of small tables. The bartender did not look like an American, so the manager was asked for. The man be- hind the bar shook his head and said, “No spik Angleesh.” “We want something to eat—food, dinner, supper or what have you,” in- sisted the customers, making gestures as though partaking of nourishment. Banquet Found Arranged. ‘The bartender nodded that he under- stood the signs and he disappeared into a long room which opened to one side on a courtyard and which was recog- nizable as the hotel restaurant. Pres- ently he came -back with ‘a -black- mustached gentleman, whose, air of aflluence marked him as the manager. He could not speak English either, but he made it very plain, in apologetic manner, that there was no food avail- able, for some strange reason. An American hotel with no food and with attaches who spoke no English! The correspondents felt free to express their indignation in strong American terms. They left in search of another cafe or hotel and found, farther down along the plaza, the “Hotel Italia.” One of the photographers knew Itallan, so he tried it on the bartender in the “Italia.” The bartender didn't speak Italian, but the similarity between that language and his own enabled him to understand that food was wanted. He tried to explain that he could not ac- commodate a dozen customers at once, but he pointed out still another “hotel” a few doors away. At the third place it was jndicated that supper wasn't ready, but the group hopefully sat down and decided to wait. Just as the party, with a round of cheers, was greeting the advent of the first tray of food from the pantry a member of Mr. Hoover's staff rushed through the front door breathlessly and broke the disconcerting news that the press was to be tendered a big dinner by the Salvadorian government and that the repast was ready. “Where?” chorused the newspaper men. “At the American Hotel,” came the startling reply.
