Miller, Editor of The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak, Mich. )) ——— If you want to go abroad and see things that are completely foreign, you don’t have to wait until the war is over in Europe. Cuba is the answer. As far as that goes, any of Central or South America, any- thing south of the United States, will be as a rule quite as foreign as Europe, Asia or Africa, But it happens that I have just been to Cuba. One of the reasons; that took me there makes it easy | Places to get it, for’ other Americans to get there | —it is so near. One of the strangest ences of life is to be immersed | for the first time in the babble; of a foreign tongue. It produces | a shock almost Jike being thrown} into cold water. Somehow it! seems that those who go to for- | eign countries have prepared | themselves for great changes of every kind except the weird sen- sation that overcomes them when they hear on all sides a} tongue they do not understand. j So, if you have not had_ this/ experience, prepare for it in a big way if you go to Havana. For that city of 560,000 inhab- itants is as foreign as Paris, Rome, Berlin or Shanghai. That} is what makes the visit so de-| lightful for an American who} wants to see new things. Per- sonally I get a great thrill out of watching other people meet this new experience. No mat- ter where they have been be- fore, Havana is apt to strike “them as something new and dif- ferent. | Many American Women Like any foreign city that is much visited by outsiders, Ha- vana has a path that is prepar- ed almost entirely for tourists. | Then there is the real Havana.} Lots of Americans never see} anything but the first. To my mind they might almost as well stay at home and see a movie | | | grocery. | tenths of that to experi-! would involve tourists who werc ; which frequently reasons ynumber of years @ jthat I was not able to chase down definitely.

It is Ghee and | his income is not too large. “Cafe | solo”, which means a ane cup | of thick Cuban coffee without} cream or sugar, is quite gener- ally sold outside the tourist belt} at 2c; often as low as le. And | the time the native can consume over one of these cups and newspaper is amazing. is} a The cafes half stores s well are the clubs and lour ing places for thousands. Amelia Garcia To Wed . George M. Davis are Announcement rae been made of the approaching marriage of Miss Amelia Garcia to George M. Davis, which will take place at 8:30 o'clock on Friday evening, | March 28, at the rectory of the} St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Catho-| lie church. The ceremony will be perform- ed by Rev. P. J. Kelleher. First Aid Classes Discontinued travelogue. They get panicky the minute they get’ outside the sound of English-speaking voices. They seem afraid to get far away from their hotel or the tour manager or guide or somebody else who speaks the familiar lingo. Poor mortals. What they are miss- ing. One of the facts that struck us (my wife and daughter were along) was the large number of American girls in pairs or threes. Sometimes they were on their * own, but more frequently on aj} tour that had been planned for them or with a party taking aj; conducted trip. It seems that a certain maga-} zine published for women print} ed a very enticing story about} Havana early in the winter. Ap-| parently everybody read it, for| all these girls seemed to know} the routine it suggested for young women who wanted to make the trip without male es- cort. Some liked it and some didn’t.

Prob- | ably this line of the Pan-Ameri- can Airways gets a larger per- | centage than any other of per- sons who have been in the air before. The results are just what you can imagine. Once you are in the Cuban| eapital—and you get through) the customs and immigration! with a minimum of delay—you| will probably go to one of the| hotels that makes a specialty of! handling the tourist trade.

I did not accept the position merely to have a free pass to the fights. The writer claims that it was on why a full card could not} be carried out. They also could have announced that there was not going to be any fights and kept the paid customers’ money. Jesse James used a gun, so I think promoters could use excus- es nowadays. I also noted that the writer (Boxing Fan) is connected with Cecil Carbonell or trying to get a job with him, for they are the only ones who could say that the Every mem- ber of the boxing commission was dissatisfied that night and {I have in my _ possession signa- tures of prominent local and vis- iting fans who were also very much dissatisfied.
