By Roger Batchelder. While the average American regards Cuba in terms of Havana, with its race track, baseball games and the strict absence of Prohibition, those Interesting items are only a small feature of the island, according to James H. Townsend, Santiago repre- fentative of a New York ‘banking firm, whg is at the Astor. “There are tremendous possibilities for Americans in Cuba,'’ related Mr. Townsend, “and the similarity be- tween progress there and {n this coun- try, is striking. The United States ex- panded westward from the East. Similarly Cuba is growing out from the Havana district eastward, and regions which were formerly remote are now covered with sugar planta- tions and allied industrial activities. “The great need of Cuba to-day is better transportation. I can remem- ber that when I lived in this vicinity it took aay to go to the Berkshires on the dirt road, Last week I made it is hard to find a garage which will do it. In Cuba, once out of the cities, travel becomes difficult. Cuba should have one good road ut least, running from one end of the island to the other, and its railroad facilities should be greatly impr When these things are brought about Cuba will expand to an astounding extent.” THIS PASTOR APPROVES OF WEALTH. While money may be the root of all evil in proverb, it is one of the great- est existing powers for good, accord- ing to Russell H. Conwell, pastor of ‘Temple Church, Philadelphia, who is said to be the largest salaried miuis- ter in this country. “[ believe that w honest business p: lth has followed ce In the case of #8 per cent of th n men of Amert- ca,"’ he said to. the Pennsylva- nia. ‘Money should not be regarded as an evil thing, for it can do much good. On that account I deplore the too moderate salaries usually accepted by ministei should be free finan- lly to do good whenever deserving calls are made upon them.” Dr. Conwell’s pastorate has grown from 100 to its present 3,000 members since he took charge of it. He is also President of Temple University, Phila- delphia. COL. SAM WINSLOW VISITS US. Col. Samuel E. Winslow, for ten sman from the Woreus- ict, dropped into the Biltmore yesterday on his way home for a short visit. Baseball bugs of a generation ago will recall the Colenel as the Captai the champion to have been which ever tossed a ball in Cambridge. Incidentally, he won practically every varsity letter which was awarded dur- tng his four years of college. The Colonel admits modestly that tho old nine on which he and "Doc" Nichols played was about the last wor in baseball teams, but when it comes to football it is different. “Yes, I played football, too—in the Nne,” he says, “but I'think I was the worst player on the worst team that Harvard ever had." Col. Winslow, now Chairman of the Foreign and Interstate Committee, is known as ‘‘the heaviest man in Con- gress."’ s ee LONDON’S BEGGARS NUMEROUS. “The number of beggars whom one sees on the streets is a good indica- tion everywhere of the bisiness con- ditions which exist," declared Fred- erick M. Hall, at the Commodore, from London. ‘*Tne streets of Lon- don,” he continued, “are. crowded y. There is an ex- was taken in that many actually left their jobs to join it. Now, because of the need for economy in the adminia- trative departments, many Govern- ment clerks are hard preaseu. One sees them, well dressed and obviously To Serve at an Evening Party Place small slices of cheese on saltine crackers. Sprinkle with “Eddys” Sauce. Place _in a flat pan and toast in a moderately hot oven, allow- ing the cheese, to melt slow'y. Just the thing for a card party, afternoon tea, or after-theatre lunch, Eddys alice earns." REMEMBER “MARY MATCHES?" esqie characters in the old days was ‘Mary Matches,’ of the Casino, at 39th Street and Broadway," reminisced J. L. Mead of Chicago, at the Commodore. “In those days matches were rather scarce and of poor quality, men coming from the theatre be- tween the acts and after the show, and lighted the cigars of those who had no matches. In this way she earned many a tip, and was reputed to have made a small fortune. But there is no chance for her vocation now, even if she were here. Your Broadway has a cigar store on every corner, and we are blessed with in- finite matches which every man can carry in his pocket." WAR'S DEVASTATION REMEDIED the trip in less than six hours.
