ECUADOR IS FILLED WITH LOCAL COLOR Simplicity, Attractive Mar- kets and Grandeur of Scenery Factors. BY CONCHA ROMERO JAMES, Pan-American Union Staff. This is the sizteenth and last of @ series of articles on travel in Pan-American countries. Whether fot local color or educa- | tion, to admire superb scenery or make | the acquaintance of gracious and hos- pitable people, Ecuador should be on the itinerary of every discriminating traveler in search of the unusual in nature and human kind. In Ecuador nature has done nothing on a small scale. Jungle and volcanoes, coast and plains have been made to conform to a prodigious pattern the innate modesty and charm of its inhabitants and their characteristic friendship are equally unsurpassed Its geographical situation on the Equator gave origin to the name of this republic, but nobody should be | misled into believing that torrid heat | predominktes, for nothing could be | further from the truth.

Ecuador has been | comparatively isolated, which accounts for the fact that it is entirely un- | sclfconscious and free from pose. It has not changed its ways of life to suit the whims of the average tourist, and it has kept its most distinctive characteristics while adopting all the essentials of civilized living. Whatever | sophistication one discovers is that | which the Ecuadorians have found to suit their peculiar needs. The tourist of the garden variety, who is not hap- nless he finds a sort of extension is native state wherever he goes, or is out for a succession of thrills in the shape of night life and foot ball games, will have no fun in Ecuador. | No European Air. | Isolation has been a blessing in| disguise, at least from the point of view of the traveler weary of seeing feeble attempts at aping Paris and| New York. But today isolation is no more, and one can easily reach Guay- aquil, its main port.

The first part of the trip the train passes along fields covered with trop- ical vegetation—plantations of sugar cane, cacao, pineapples and bananas, which rapidly give way to less luxuri- ant growth as the train reaches the mountain region. At noon Huigra is reached, and soon after the train. This, by the way, is a beautiful city of 40,000, with fine cul- tural traditions. dustry. The misnomer, “Panama hat,” was first applied by tourists who bought these Ecudorian hats on the isthmus. Cuenca has other claims to distinction: The art of sculpture and enameling has flourished there, and the work of the Cuenca craftsmen is much in demand in the country Continuing the trip, the most stir- ring part of the journey is now at hand; Nariz del Diablo (Devil's Nose), a forbidding mountain, intercepts the road. and the train ascends by means of much puffing, along a daring zig-zag | road cut out of solid rock on the mountain side, and supported by stone walls.

A city ideal for leisurely strolls, Quito offers many delightful surprises wherever one turns—an image maker carving a saint out of a block of wood; a silversmith patiently hammering a | bowl; a sleepy little plaza basking in the sun; a tiny shop displaying hand | wrought goods; a fascinating store specializing in kitchen copper ware; a street full of shops catering to the Indian trade from nearby districts, where colorful embroidered shirts are displayed and the gay square shawls embroidered with birds and flowers in yarn used by Indian ®bmen to tie their babies on their backs; patios full of flowers; massive colonial doors above which are religious inscriptions and symbols carved in stone; antique shops where one may buy wooden figurines, ornaments of tortoise shell, old silver, small paintings on bone and copper, old embroidered silks, and other articles too numerous to men- | tion. A walk up the Panecillo is an un- forgetable experience, for it was on this hill that the Inctu Raime, or dance of the sun, was performed by the Incas to celebrate the Summer solstice. From Quito one can make delight- ful excursions to the Province of Im- babura, the lake country. On the way one passes the snow-capped Cayambe directly under the Ecuatorial line.

C., January 5.—The fickle “Bride of Pisgah” has returned to the Western North Carolina moun- tains this Winter. The “bride,” a phenomenon of the high mountain snows, appears only occasionally and her visits are usually vested with strange significance by the superstitious. ‘The figure, formed by drifted snows and frozen mountain waterfalls, ap- pears on Mount Pisgah’s slopes and in clear weather is visible for miles. It actually looks like a bride in white flowing train. Sometimes she is kneel- ing and sometimes standing. Occa- sionally a “bridegroom” can be dis- cerned at her side. It depends considerably upon the angle from which the phenomenon is viewed and the imagination of the beholder. The “bride” seldom stays long be- cause snows infrequently stay long in the southern highlands. She paid one call this season, attracting widespread attention. The mountaineers like her, for she lures many visitors, who spend money at roadside stands and filling stations out on the highways to points of vantage to pay their respects. The figure on the mountain can be seen from several points in Asheville on clear days, although it is perhaps 20 miles away, airline. HALF FARE TO ROME Mussolini Encourages Italians to Visit Capital.

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, Jr. OREIGN countries making bids F for tourist travel are doing more these days than putting figurative signs of “Welcome” slong the borders and at sea- ports. Knowing the jittery economicl situation makes the traveler wary and tends to keep him at home so he will not be caught short abroad, defi- nite announcements are being issued from time to time to assure him not only that all is well, but that all will | be well. A recent case in point was the an- nouncement, quoted in this column, that Italy still regards American | money as good as gold. Switzerland, with a fee)ing of friendliness for the Britons, who discovered the Alpine playground decades ago, has reassured her visitors from England that one | pound sterling will pay a 16-franc hotel bill this Winter regardless of exchange fluctuations. This stabili- zation security began December 15| and will last at least until April 15, | 1935. * K K K NDER the guidance of the Swiss| National Tourist Office, the close- | ly-knit caterers to travel trade estab- | lished this exchange rate for every| hotel in the country. Thus, as long| as the pound and the dollar act like | Siamese twins, u'le one going Where the other goes, the dollar is indirectly stabilized in Swiss hostelries. Ameri- | cans can plan their hotel expense in terms of the pound. The pound used to be worth 25 Swiss francs. But| that was before exchange began lash- | ing up and down like the tail of a| dragon lying mortally wounded. Switzerland readjusted its railroad | rates to meet the exchange situation, | which seriously curtailed the spend-| ing power of the English in that gold bloc country. Tickets were cut from 30 to 45 per cent, and e@en 50 per| cent on week end excursions, when return tickets went on sale at a single | fare rate. * k % *x HEN the pioneering British vaca- tionist found Switzerland, what did he discover?

Perhaps many who love beauty of word and scene have missed it; consequently, we reproduce it here: “Day after day break: with the rarest gold upon the mountain spires, and creeps, growing and glowing, down into the valley. From end to end the snow reverberates the sun-| shine; from end to end the air tingles with the light, clear and dry like crystal * * ¢ “By noon the sky is arrayed in an unrivalled pomp of color—mild and pale and melting in the North, but toward the zenith, dark with an in- tensity of purple blue * * ¢ “With the approach of evening all is changed. A mountain will sud- denly intercept the sun; a shadow fall upon the valley: in 10 minutes the thermometer will drop as many degrees; the peaks that are no longer shone upon dwindle into ghosts: and meanwhile, overhead, if the weather be rightly characteristic of the place, the sky fades toward night through a surprising key of colors. The latest gold leaps from the last mountain. Soon, perhaps, the moon shall rise, and in her gentler light the valley shall be mellowed and misted, and here and there a wisp of silver cloud upon a hilltop, and here and there a warmly glowing window in a house, between fire and starlight, kind and | homely in the fields of snow.” * k x x OUTHERN PINES, N.

TRIESTE, January 5.—The Pil- sudski, Poland’s first trans-Atlantic liner built since the rebirth of the republic and the creation of her new seaport at Gdynia, recently was launchec here. The first of two new crack liners ordered for the govern- | ment-controlled Gidynia-America Line, it will be put into service during the Summer and will ply between Gdynia, New York and Halifax. The new liner and its sister ship, to be named the Stephen Batory, is be- ing paid for entirely in coal to be | shipped from Poland to Italy’s rail- ways within the next five years. The Pilsudski is 514 feet long and 70 feet wide. It will furnish service between New York and the Baltic, | Poland and Scandinavia, as well as Russia. It will take eight days to | make a trip. The liner will have such modern features as gyropilots, gyroscopes, | American bars, elevators, swimming | pools, a room for developing films, | gymnasiums, tennis courts, etc. | Special fire-prevention systems are | provided.
