D—4 ADVENTURE FILLS TRIPT0 BOLIVIA “Roof of the World” Is Bright With Sunshine and Color. BY LUCY FARNSWORTH Of the Pan-American Union Staff. This is the thirteenth of a series ©f stories on travel in Pan-Amer= dcan countries. “A table of silver on legs of gold” was the lure of Bolivia, or Peru as it ‘was called, for centuries after the con- quest, and “Peru” and “Potosi” came to be synonymous terms for the precious metals. Today, the produc- tion of gold and silver has declined considerably, but Bolivia offers an equally strong appeal to the visitor from abroad. Here are the remains of the great race which dominated so large a part of the continent centuries before the coming of the Spaniard; here also are the relics of a civilization antedating even that of the Incas, and offering mute testimony to an advanced period in the history of the American Con- tinent when our ancestors in Europe were emerging from a state of ‘barbarism. The visitor has the choice of four Toutes in entering Bolivia, through three ports along the West Coast or | by rail from Buenos Aires on the At- lantic. Any one approachigg from the north, however, usually disembarks at Mollendo, the southernmost port of Peru. Let us follow this route in going | to Bolivia—“The Roof of the World. Begins With Novelty. At the very outset the visitor ex- periences the novelty of going ashore in an unusual manner. Off Mollendo, the Pacific belies its name, as there is a constant swell along this impres- sive rockbound coast, and the absence of a harbor makes it necessary for passengers to go ashore in launches. After plowing for a few minutes through the swells, they reach the landing docks, where a large chair is let down from the pier, the passenger seats himself, is lifted up into the air, and swung over onto the docks. For some miles after leaving Mol- lendo, the train follows the coast, the brown and gray foothills on the left, the endless deep blue on the right, with the breakers scunding above the noise of the train as they strike the rocky shore. Soon it begins a steady climb, winding in and out like a giant serpent wriggling its way around the foothills in a steady ascent. Midway between Mollendo and Arequipa the train emerges on a level plain, the Desert of Islay, with its weird, crescent-shaped sand dunes scattered irregularly here and there. Indistinguishably, and yet irresistibly, these mounds of sand, ranging from 30 to 100 feet across| and from 6 to 15 feet high, move across the ground; forced by the wind, con- stantly blowing in one direction, and all shaped like a crescent. There seems to be no explanation (although many have been attempted) as to just why on this particular plateau this sand and wind should create such beautiful dunes. As the train continues on, across valleys and at the base of steep moun- tain cliffs, with an occasional -glimpse of the Pacific, for the first time comes a vivid realization of the grandeur of the Andes. Trees and grass there are none, as these regions are rainless, but this very circumstance enables this tremendous land mass to show its natural colors of soft velvety shades of gold and crimson, in a harmonious blending most pleasing to the eye. Down in the deep canyon we see small farms along the banks of swift-moving streams, walled in by beautiful colored Tocks, the green garden spots present- ing & pleasant contrast to the sur- rounding vari-colored walls. Here and there along the sides of the hills are the terraces laid out many centuries ago by the Incas, evidences of industry and organization that make us pause and wonder at the achievements of these early inhabitants. A Refreshing Pause. Arequipa, at an altitude of 7,500 feet, is reached just after sunset. It is the halfway point between the sea and the highlands, and a very de- lightful place for a stop-over before continuing the journey onward to Bolivia as it gives the visitor a chance to become accustomed to the high altitudes. The Indians must have had this in mind when calling this par- ticular spot of perpetual sunshine at the foot of Mount Misti, Arequipa, for it means in their language “Rest Ye Here.” Continuing upward, we reach the shores of Lake Titicaca, and find our- selves in the very center of that ancient civilization that dominated all that part of Western South America from what is today Ecuador to the north to Central Argentina and Chile to the south. To the north lies Cuzco, the capital of the Inca Empire, with its massive walls and impressive temples, a veritable storehouse for the archeologist and a source of wonder to every visitor. No one, of course, should fail to visit Cuzco. Our destina- tion, however, is Bolivia, so we turn southward and cross Lake Titicaca. Situated 13.000 feet above the level of the sea, Titicaca is the highest steam-navigated lake in the world. It has an area of more than 5.000 square miles, measuring at its greatest length 135 miles, with an average width of 66 miles and & depth varying from 250 10 1,500 feet. Impressed as we are with the remains of prehistoric civilization, modern engineering skill is also in evi- dence here, for the steamer on which we cross from Puno, Peru, to Guaqui, Bolivia, was built in England, knocked down and carried across the oceans and thence up the remarkable South- ern Railway of Peru and reassembled on the shores of the lake. Fascinating Scenery. As Lake Titicaca is situated so high above the clouds, it was perhaps inevit- able that it should become the cradle of myths and traditions and should fig- ure so prominently in the religion of the Incas, Here are the sacred islands of Titicaca and Coati, better known as the Island of the Sun and the Island of the Moon, with 23 smaller ones. If one is fortunate enough to have a moonlight night in crossing the lake, he will behold most fascinating scenery. As the steamer travels on through the night, in the cool and brilliant atmos- phere of the highlands, the faint out- lines of the islands dotting the lake can be seen. And, dominating all, the great snow-capped mountain peaks, rising like great walls along the hori- gon, seem to hem in the lake. It is easy to understand why the Incas are called the “children of the sun,” for the sunrise on Lake Titicaca is like a great painter splashing his colors as its first rays strike the glistening sil- very heights with the brown, green and grays of mountain side and valley, bringing. out the blue of the lake in unrivaled splendor. A few hours later the Port of Guaqui, on the shores of Bolivia, is reached. A few miles from Titicaca is Tia- huanaco, a city of prehistoric ruins antedating Cuzco itself. The origin of this civilization or the cause of its de- cline is lost in anfiquity. What re- mains, however, ds ample evidence THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, DECEMBER 16, 1934—PART TWO. La Paz Highest Capital in the World Nestling in the mountains at the “roof of the world” is La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. Villazon is shown. of an advanced culture. As the trav- eler alights from the train he sees a level plain and not far from the sta- tion may be seen the ruins—a huge monolith or stone idol of an Indian god. Then can be seen the ruins of an unfinished stairway and the ruins of the doorway of the temple or “Door- way of the Sun.” in height, 13 feet in width and nearly 2 feet thick. Many other images are cut from solid rock and carved stones may be seen. Through Clouds to La Paz. After leaving Tiahuanaco the train travels for miles and miles along a level plain and sometimes the clouds are so low, at this high altitude, that the train seems to be lost in them. It is a thrilling experience to pass through these clouds and then out into the sunshine—rain, snow and sunshine again. Pretty little vicunas and stately llamas can be seen near the railroad tracks. So we travel, at 15,000 feet above sea level, until we come to the edge of an enormous canyon or great bowl in the Andes Plateau. In this saucer-like de- pression lies the City of La Paz, “the City of Peace.” While our eyes are yet focused on its beauty the train begins to wind its way downward around the sides of this great bowl. White houses with red tiled roofs, streets lined with trees, green fields and hills dotted with Indians, adding their touch of color, come into view until the very bottom is reached, and in the background Mount Illimani, snow-capped, stands like a sentinel, while overhead is the bluest sky with drifting fleecy white clouds. La Paz is the highest capital in the world—12,700 feet above sea level— with a population of 150,898. Modern and well planned, it has many beau- tiful avenues, of which El Prado is the outstanding. At one end of this avenue is the Plaza Venezuela, where a statue to Bolivar stands, the leader after whom the country is named, and at the other end is a monument to Gen. Antonio Jose de Sucre, first President of the Republic. In the center of the city is the Plaza Murillo, which has a number of lovely trees and a mass of gorgeous flowers suited to the high altitude. 0dd Shops. Opposite the plaza is the capitol, an imposing modern structure of stone, and on an adjoining corner the palace of the President. The beautiful cathedral also faces the plaza. Some of the streets are very steep and nar- row, while others are wide and more modern. The visitor finds the narrow streets attractively lined with odd shops, where vicuna and alpaca rugs, as well as all kinds of silver orna- ments, may be purchased. Bolivia is just Lake Titicaca to the average school child perhaps, but what a vast difference when one becomes more interested than the school child during geography period, for La Paz alone, with its high mountain peaks of perpetual snow, and gayly-dressed people make it a most charming place. With its combination of the ancient and the modern, of magnificent scenery and colorful life, no trip to South America would be complete without a visit to the highland coun- try of Bolivia. | It measures 10 feet ‘The Avenida Exchange Rates Spread Ruin In French and Swiss Resorts Millions Lost by Tourist Travel De- clines, and Even Domestic Trade Is Low, Causing Alarm for Outcome. PARIS —After one of the poorest|came from the United States, but|Mment at Georgetown University. tourist Summers since the end of the war, French and Swiss Winter resorts are almost frantic over their pros- pects for the coming Winter. Both the French and Swiss have literally lost millions of dollars as a result of the unfavorable exchange rates. British and American visitors who come to France come largely on busi- ness, and once that business is over they depart immediately. The bans against taking money out of the country has stopped German tourists completely. Without special authorization Germans cannot take more than 10 or 15 dollars out of Germany. That lasts only a day or two in France and less in Switzerland What is even more disturbing to French and Swiss resorts is the fact that they are losing their own do- mestic trade as well as the foreign visitors, Tens of thousands of French, Dutch, Belgians and Swiss visited England and the United States this Summer. With new Winter return rates being quoted by all the steam- ship lines for 15-day trips to New York, the citizens of the gold-bloc countries are gratifying life-long am- bitions and seeing London and New York. In an effort to bolster up their Winter resort trade, which comes largely from Great Britain, the United States and to some extent from Paris and other European capitals, the Swiss hotel keepers have decided to arbi- trarily fix the pound and dollar ex- change rate. They will quote the pound sterling at 16 Swiss francs and hold to that rate throughout the season, they say. The federal govern- ment will be asked to make up the loss if the pound drops further down on the exchange market. Normally, the pound is 25 Swiss francs. Recently it has been hanging around 15 to the pound. The dollar, which at par is 5 francs 20 centimes, seldom gets above 3 francs per dol- lar. Living expenses are unbearable for both Americans and English in Switzerland as a result. British mountain-climbers have practically disappeared from the Alps. The fa- mous toboggans and skiing fields are deserted and the de luxe hotels at Zermatt, Adelboien, St. Moritz and Villars are shuttered or cheerless. An indication what the cheap pound has done for British tourists is re- vealed in official figures issued by the home office. During July, August and September there were more than 100,- 000 tourists entering England, a gain of over 10 per cent on last year's figures, which in turn far surpassed previous years. Most of the visitors Natives Claim Garden of Eden Was Located on Seychelle Isle English Colonial Territory Said to Rival Beauties of Bali—Cruise Ship to Touch Port. PORT VICTORIA, Mahe, Seychelle Islands, December 15.—There is one big day in the year for the people of the Seychelle Islands—the day the Franconia calls on her annual cruise around the world via the Southern Hemisphere. The large steamer’s visit is always a cause for intense interest on the part of the natives. The col- ony, like the ship, is British. The Garden of Eden, according to tradition, was located on one of these islands—Praslin. Everything about here helps to bear out this legend. Some believe its levoliness exceeds even that of Ball. There are many foods here to ap- peal to the appetite and they are nearly all read-to-eat foods. Cloth- ing is not a necessity, the islands be- about the size of Staten Island or Bermuda. Mountains of granite here reach the towering height of 3,000 feet. Big game fishing is one of the out- standing sports here. There are plenty of Barracuda and swordfish, as well as & shark-whale, known as the “shogreen.” The waves that break on the shores of these islands are like huge ostrich feathers, white as snow. Natives are looking forward to the arrival of the shipload of Americans. For the rest of the year the islands seem content with the wonderful cli- mate and the beautiful scenery. Once a month the ship from Bombay calls, but this event, interesting of course, does not upset the event nor of the ing close to the Equator. natives. Forbidden Fruit. A fact which seems to substantiate the claim that this was the original home of Adam and Eve, is found in the coco de mer, a large nut which grows here and which, according to local tradition, was the forbidden fruit of the Bible. The coco de mer tree —_— CAPT. McROSTIE CHOSEN Will Command Samaria on Cruise to Mediterranean. NEW YORK, December 15.—Capt. grows plentifully here, reaching an average height of 150 feet and bearing nuts weighing up to 20 pounds. Strange to relate, this tree will grow nowhere outside of the Seychelle Islands. Many efforts have been made to transplant saplings to other trop- fcal islands, but so far all efforts have failed. All knowledge of these islands was lost for many centuries. They lie almost in the center of the Indian Ocean, 1,000 miles due east of Mom- basa, Africa, and were discovered in 1505. Pirates found them a safe haven to retire to. The outlaws of the sea grew so numerous here that female slaves were imported from Africa to minister to their wants, the pirates marrying them. Their de- scendants are the natives of today and they are a good looking, well-be- haved race of people.

'BADEN-BADEN, December 15.—The high level road through the Black Forest from Baden-Baden to Ruhe- stein, 25 miles in ‘length, will be cleared of snow throughout this Winter for the benefit of motorists. _— Musical Festival Scheduled.

Americans arriving in England totaled 26,724 over the same period. Even Switzerland sent about 4,000 visitors to London, while nearly 10,000 Dutch and 6,000 Belgians took advantage of the favorable exchange rates. One of the greatest fears of both Swiss and Riviera hotel keepers is that American and British clients, who heretofore came to Europe every | year, will get over the habit and that | what was once a permanent clientele | will be irrevocably lost unless the ex- | change barrier is soon removed.
