HEIR TO MILK MILLIONS Gail Borden Munsill Is Buildlngi Pleasure Colony on Gulf Coast. CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex. (#)—The play boy of the Gulf Coast has gone to | work. | Gail Borden Munsill, heir to a por- | tion of the riches of the Borden Milk | Co., is building a pleasure resort on the | sandy wastes of Mustang Island near here. When the colony of cottages is completed the 24-year-old sportsman | will emerge as a full-fledged promoter. Munsill came to Corpus Christi from Yale. He came to drive speed boats, | shoot _ducks and catch deep-sea | bass. His exploits along the 1,000 miles | of South Texas coast have made his- tory. Nothing traveled too fast for | nsill, nothing was too_ daring, no| adventure too arduous. Now he has | | settled down to business. | Aside from his sporting proclivities, Munsill_collects guns, swords and ra- | plers. He also studies poetry. | i Dogs Replace Wardens, | MERCER, Pa.

If time is short, two stalwart native boys can show the sights of the capital in a few hours, but the easy-going life of the inhabitants soon gets ‘under the skin’ of th tor and the slow-moving, bullock-drawn d, upholstered in red, green and vell & better opportunity to get acquainted with the town, *“Up and down hills the animal plods | through narrow cobbled streets, solidly walled with spo! ly white houses. Now and then the front of a building | is adorned with exhibits of Madeira | embroidery work. and through the door | small girls skilfully execute difficult pat- | terns. Before some of these girls have | reached their teens their needlework has graced the tables and beds of some of the finest homes in six continents, for they begin embroidering as soon as they are old enough to handle a needle. Shops Advertise in English, “The Madeira milkman, bearing a pole across his shoulders with a 5-gal- lon can at each end, stops long enough to watch a group of tourists bump over the cobbles. Dirty-faced boys, standing among tall bags of fuel brush, smile under small knitted caps with ear flaps turned up toward a fuzzy pompon. Woman flower venders, with a portion of their merchandise bedecking their thick, unbobbed hair, accost every pass- erby. Meanwhile flat-topped sleds, piled with furniture, brushwood, groceries, wine casks and other movables, come and go. “Madeira belongs to Portugal and Por- tuguese is the native language on the island, but British and American money is so attractive that signs in English are frequently seen on shop fronts. One reads ‘A cordial invitation is extended to all Madeira visitors to shop here.” Another invites visitors to ‘Write your cards here.” Most prominent of all is a large sign extending over a portion of the street, which reads ‘Please come up (meaning up one of Funchal's hill- side streets) for your redl handmade embroideries, American and British cig- arettes and Madeira wine.’ Wine and Wicker Chairs. “Most of the 179,000 inhabitants of Madeira live in towns occupying nar- row ledges along the seashore. Behind some of them sheer cliffs rise more than 1,000 feet. Funchal, with 25,000 inhabi- tants, occupies a ledge at the head of a broad bay. but the hills in the back- ground, though steep, also are dotted with white houses set amid flowers and vegetable gardens, fruit trdes and vine- yards. “Every tillable acre is cultivated in the interior valleys and ingenious farmers have terraced steep rocky hills to increase crop production. “The roads through the mountains are mere trails. In many places the hammock, borne by two bearers, is the only transport that can be used. Along the trails men and women carry hides filled with wine, sacks of potatoes and ‘wicker chairs to town. Frequently a man carries as many as 10 wicker chairs clustered about his head. “Stone-walled, thatched-roofed huts dot the Madeiran countryside. Ap- proaching one hut, the groan and squeak of the primitive, all wood, wine press is heard as it crushes luscious Madeira grapes. The barefoot occu- pants of another hut deftly weave wicker into chairs which might ulti- mately adorn American porches. It was in Madeira that the wicker chair industry began on a large scale.
