SEND 2,000 NILES <FOR WATER SUPPLY of West Indian Isle 3 Import From Baltimore ‘Washington, Juge 7 UP—A thirsty faland in the Dutch West Indies has| ~sent all the way to Baltimore for a drink. The tanker Franklin L. Lane has sbeen loaded with 25,000 barrels of city water consigned to the island of Aruba, 20 miles off the coast of Venezuela. As long as Aruba remained an orphan island unvisited and seldom graphic society points out, Willem- stad, port and capital of Curacao, has been an offshore wharf . for Venezuela. After oil was discovered around Lake Maracaibo, Curacao trade be- gan to run into many millions. To- day Willemstad boasts of the largest oil refineries on earth and receives five big ships a day. After the Dutch interests de- veloped Curacao, American oil com- panies turned to Aruba. A steady |stream of small steamers loaded with crude oil sail from ports on Lake Maracaibo, clear the shallow |bar and dock at Oranjestad, where |tanks have sprung up like mush- |rooms. Refineries are just begin- | ning to get into operation so most jof the crude oil is transferred di- | rectly to tankers sailing for Americg. | Aruba supplies ample labor '\\ {low cost, affords a continuously warm but healthtul climate, and a such a strain on the cisterns that Aruba has been compelled to send 2,000 miles for fresh water, Nevertheless, enough moisture reached Aruba to make it the chief aloe producer of the world. Aloes, introduced from China, throw out leaves which are picked and cut by the natives! The juice exuded con- geals. Laxative elements in many medicines come from aloes. Divi- divi, the other curious product of Aruba, supplies a tanning extract. Demands for labor by the oil in- terests tripled the price of Aruba aloes reaching the UnlRd States last year.
