The two | _ main towns, Port Au Prince and Cap-Haitien, escaped unscarred. The little village of Berly, in the mountains south of Port Au Prince, never will be pointed out as a curi- | osity to visitors.

Almost overnight, the fertile earth will once again be producing root crops and vegeta- bles. New hotels are opening this sea- son with the accent increasingly on luxury and entertainment. The first skyscraper — six stories — is rising on the heights of St. Ger- ard, overlooking Port Au Prince. It will be ready for guests by Christ mas, according to Dr. Jules The- baud, its owner.
