TS0 . AERICH 0 GLZATIOY National - Geographic Soclefy Man Talks on Latin Country —_— Washington, D. C, Jan. 16, ~ A resume of the remarkable contribu- tions Houth America has made to clvilization' and the unus geo- graphical features of that continent are contained in an address by John Oliver T.aGorce, vice-president of the Natlonal Geographic soclety, to the Third Pan-American Scientific Congress meeting at Lima, Peru. “In Peru originated the potato the world's - greatest single crop; Chill contributes the guano fertilzer which rejuvenates the sofl of many lands; the pampas of Argentina be. stow meats and wool upon millions outside her borders; Brazil helped nake possible the automoblile by teaching the use of rubber and Mex- fco ' furnishes the twine to bind clvilization’s harvests — to mention only a few of the Important ego- nomie services of the continent,” Mr. LaGorce sald. “The Unlted States and South | American. countries have always manifested their friendship by their trade,” the speaker continued. “In a recent year Argentlna bought three-eighth of her imports from our country; Brazil spent in the United States approximately one- half of her expenditures for imports, and Chile gave the United States practically the same proportion of her foreign purchases, Columbia was an_equally good customer in proportion to her total importations, while Péru gave the United .States nearly two-thirds of her total for.| eign orders. More than two-thirds of Venezuela's foreign business was done with American houses and, in | Ecuador, the proportion was 45 percent. “In’ our turn we bought more than halt of the exports of Chile, | Calumbfa, Pefu, apd Venezuela, | nearly half ‘of those of Brazil, and | nearly a third of those of Argentina. “To the geographer these figures| tell {ar more than a profitable busi- ness relationship; they betoken a mutual dependency based on mutual noeds. 1t is a happy geographic fact that our two continents, thrown into clogs proximity, need each other and, in so many ways, com- plement each other. “The physital geography of South Amerfea is fascinating. It is distin- guished by the absence of clearly | defined watersheds between its great river pasins, From the Orinoco | delta to the Rio de la Plata estuary | there is almost a continuous over- | lapping of these basins. In south- ern Venezuela, where that country thrusts a political peninsula into northern Brazil, below the town of Tsmeralda, the waters of the upper Orinoeo ~ suddenly decide to part company, some o fthem reaching the Amazon, and the sea through the Brazos Casiquiare and the others forcing their way to the lower Orinoco over the rapids of the eroded mountain -barrieds at Mai. | pures ‘and Atures. “Although the communications between the Amazon and the Rio | Exeter suggests that these poor hon- | de la Plata basins are not so marked board of North America has been its rugged, indented coast line, which affords sheltering harbors from Maine to Florida. South Amer- fca's const line 18 more regular; but she has what now {s proving an even greater boon, navigable rivers of enormous léngth ~— nature-made canals which offer ready transporta- tlon to regions of some of her rich- est products, “Our Mississippl and its tribu- tarles have 17,000 miles of nav- igable waters, the major portion of them exceedingly ' shallow. The Amazon and its tributarles have twice as many miles, and several times ‘as many miles capable of ac- commodating ocean-going steame which, for exarfple, ascend 2,300 miles to Iquitos, while vessels of 14 foot draft can ascend nearly 500 miles beyond that.point, “South . America tales that for granted; but we of the United States marvel when we realize that it is as though one could travel on a ship of 14-foot draft. from New York direct to ‘Salt Lake City by way of Chicago and Cheyenne, A glance at a map of South America reveals that South America has the finest system of inland waterways in the | world, “The map also reveals that won- der tale of South America's future — her futuge of commercial impor- | tance, because she holds so much | wealth in ‘natural resources which 4lho world needs. AMERICAN INDIANS HELP ENGLISH DYE: INDUSTRY Finest Hand Looms Produced on Island Learned From Survey in Northwest Woods Oxtord, Jan, 23i—English deav- ing and dyeing., which have always depended greatly upon the ingenuity of. foreigners, are now profitting by the simple methods of the American Indians. Dernis Baker of Avon, ‘whose hand looms produce some of the finest woolen fabrics now being made in England, learned the secrets of vegetable dye-stuffs while surveying in the woods, and he has greatly extended the possibilities of vegetable dyeing by combining the native American dyes with the older indigo, Persian and Oriental colors. After the decline of village indus- tries Englislt textile-making sank to a very low level, but it was revived by Willlam Morris, the ‘“poet-up- holsterer,” who discovered many of the secrets of medieval dyeing and weaving from old manuscripts, snd who raised the craft of cloth mak- ing to high excellence. Much of the work of Morris was for a time lost, for the t dustry has gone on with a dyes, but the harshness and imper- manence of mest of the aniline colors is now leading s ral of the {larger textile concerns to turn to the methods ef Morris and Baker WOULD REMOVE STIGMA Bishop Suggests That Recipients of | Poor Law Reltet Be Given Uniforms | cltizens, Exeter, Eng., Jan. —In order to remove the stigma which: the re- | celpt of poor law reliet is supposed | to glve to people, the Bishop of orable people should wear a special | Stratford-or- northwest | - | house, “into the facllity with which | w BIRD HERO OF VERDUN DIE TRALE INVADES QUIET OF OXFORD Carvied Messages Under Fire; Cheap Arcade and Garage Wil Succumbs to 0ld Age Be Built on Sacred Ground — PO | - ? | Bradford, Eng., Jan. 23-—An entire | | block in the center of Oxford, com- | | prising some 40 old bulldings, is to be sold by the city within the next six months.
