Upon closer view, however, she again surprises the visitor by turn- ing out to be—in spite of her mod- ern make up—a city of the conquis- tadores, clinging to the quiet and seclusion of sunlit patios and pre senting barred windows and ancient spike studded doors to the street. Indeed, Caracas fs a city of surprises and contrasts, where streets are a hodge podge of smart looking auto- mobiles and ancient trolleys; of burros bearing bundles of bread, or vegetables, or charcoal; of flower vendors, milkmen and head carriers. SURPRISE CITY Photo Grace Lis It is a city whose inhabitants seem either to be very wealthy or very poor; a-city of contrasts, where women in the latest styles from Paris are seen.in the sophisticated setting of smart’clubs, and others in black mantillas tell their beads in the quiet of the old cathedral. Caracas, featured in a popular shore excursion offered in connec- tion with 18-Day Cruises to the Caribbean is, because of its location 3000 feet above sea level, endowed with a June-like climate which lasts the year ‘round—with flowers blooming everywhere and trees fair- ly dripping with orchids. It is one of the most beautiful and charming cities on the continent—capital of a republic which enjoys the distinc tion of having a profit in its treasury and being free from external debt, | | THE WEATHER .

The young man ‘who wishes to be somethifig more than.a routine worker must train himself for higher positions. There are many subjects dealii with business which it may be advan- tageous for him to study. One of the | most important of these)is Ac countancy. No-one course of training givés so wide a knowledge of the major acti- yities of business as Accountancy. In addition, Accountancy affords a training in rigid thinking‘and in habits of accuracy and thoroughness that are essential ‘to business suc- cess. Moreover, the operation of every department, however small, is based on facts and figures which are sup- plied by the accounting department. Management judges the success of every department head by facts and figures supplied by accounting. The person who expects sometime to be in charge of other people must be- gome accountancy minded and the | y he can do this is through ! ing in accounting. GIRE SCOUTS TO ti MEET TORORROW!
