PRESIDENT HOOVER IN PORTO RICA
It is interesting to note the cordial welcome accorded to
President Hoover on his visit to the island of Porto Rica
which, by the way,, is the first presidential visit since 1906,
when President Roosevelt, father of the present governor,
visited the island.
In addition to furthering good-will, this visit will enable
Mr. Hoover to secure first-hand information that will assist
him in formulating plans for the betterment of the people,
who are responding to the efforts of Governor Theodore
Roosevelt and his assistants to improve conditions along
all lines. ,
During the year and a half that the present Governor has
had charge he has learned the Spanish language, has coun
selled with all classes of natives and has put in long hours
in an effort to be of the utmost help to the Porto Ricans,
whom he calls "our people." His devotion to his task should
be an inspiration to all.
, Porto Rica has an area of 3325 square miles, which is
just 59 per cent larger than Union county, but has a popula
tion of 1,600,000. Heretofore agricultural pursuits have
jdominated, but a high-grade handicraft is being developed
and is receiving much encouragement from our government.
- Her principal exports 'are sugar, pineapples, oranges, grape
fruit, coffee and tobacco. In 1920 the value'of these exports
was,, over $150,000,000; and the. greater part of these ship
,ments came to the United States.
i The visit of President Hoover at this time will result in
a better understanding and a closer relationship between
the Porto Rican people and those of our own country.
NIGHT BRINGS OUT THE STARS
: Night reveals a thousand fold more than it hides from us.
The stars show us celestial depths and heights, and extend
our vision beyond all human conception. Those things which
daylight shows are all near at hand. We see perhaps a mile
ahead. In the night we see uncounted millions of miles into
the vault of the heavens.
j' To the discontented, there is no experience like a vision
into the night to widen one's thought of his own life's
diameter. Anon.
SPRING
This is the season of the year when we will do well to in
stitute a campaign of "cleanup" both inside and outside of
our habitations and business places. A splendid example is
set for us by Nature. Do you note how the brown, bare
and ugly is being brushed aside by the new vegetation and
the flowers? Let us all assist in the process by clearing
away the dead limbs and rubbish from our plants and shrubs
and give them a chance to profit by the sunlight and air.
,. The earth owes its youthfulncss at such a great age to
the fact that it never keeps late hours.

Robinson's position on the floor Is

Democratic side. Watson takes his
stand as Republican chief four scats

"I feel much the same way."
Incidentally there's anothur desk in

I'I'NCIIING THE CLOCK
Proud of his attendance record in

He keeps books on his attendance.

He had served a total of fi,8f8 days
In tho senate and had been absent
only 13, an average absence of less

That most of this time away from

WAT Ml HAH IKS
(Part II)
Hy Alice Juitsoii Peiiln
It is certain that during the first
two years of a Man us baby's life he
is saved from sudden death only by
the fact that his mother never for
one moment permits him out of sight
or out of mind.
Until ho has learned to handle
himself with reasonable skill and
safety under tho precarlotis condi
tions of life In a village built over
tho water, she is housebound. She
Is, therefore, eager that he learn to
tako caro of himself at the earliest
possible da to.
As soon as ho can stand she allows
him to wado and flounder about at
low tide. In consequence of this
early familiarity with what Is vir
tually his notlvo element, ho learns
to swim ns soon as he learns to walk.
At tho age of three ho is given a
small canoo which ho paddles golly
and confidently about tho lagoon. At
flvo ho dives and swims under the
water for long stretches. From now
on ho is practically independent of
homo and mother, coming into the
house only to eat and sleep, or when
something of particular Interest is
going on thero.
Tho technic by which the Mantis
mother thus trains her child to take
care of himself Is worth tho notice
of mothers anywhere. She praises and
encouroges his every effort. Her "no"
ts final.
Sho never shows impatience with
his clumsy attempts. She never scolds
for failure but onco he has shown
ho can do a particular thing, he Is
never permitted to fall below his
standard.
When ho hurts himself he gets no
sympathy, nor even any notice. She
lets him tako horrifying risks, but
sho Is always on hand to prevent
serious mishaps. Sho Is herself so
sure and strong and skillful that her
child has a complete senso of security
when she Is near.
Health Talks
VITAMINS ANO OISKASK
A diet rich in vltomtns particu
larly in vitamins A, C and D will
increase resistance to tuberculosis and
help In tho prevention of cure of
tho intestinal form of tho disease, ac
cumulated evidence shows.
This was recently pointed out by
Dr. Eugene P. Dullols. In a paper on
"Diet In Disease." He also affirmed
that experience shows such a vita-mln-rtch
diet will Increase resistance
against minor infections.
Tho demonstration of the value of
vitamins In tlute and other respects
brings up the problem of what cook
ing, preserving and drying does to
them. Some vitamins are very resist
ant to these processes. Others are
easily destroyed.
Viumln A. found In milk, toma
toes, carroU. lettuce and peas, is
fairly resistant to heat and Is slightly
affected-by canning or by cooking,
particularly when air is excluded.
Vitamin D is not easily destroyed.
Vitamin C. found matnlv In the clt-
I rous fruits, however, is rapidly de
stroyed by cooking, by drying and by
storing. Fortunately, Vitamin O In
tomato juice Is not spoiled by careful
cooking or canning.
There has been a widespread preju
dice in this country against canned
vegetables, and a great many people
still believe that the so-called "fresh
vegetables" cooked In the home con
tain more vitamins than canned food.
This Is probably not the case, as
the home cooking of vegetables, or
fruits In an open vessel may oxidize
and hence destroy the vitamins, par
ticularly If cooking soda is added to
preserve the green color and hnprove
he flavor.
Most of the canners are "now taking
every precaution to avoid the oxida
tion of the vitamins. Fruits and
vegetables are prepared when they
are very fresh, and if they are to be
pureed they are hashd in an atmos
phre from which oxygen has been ex
cluded and cooked in one that Is
practically oxygen-free.
The Garden
GROWING BKTTKR TOMATOES
An increasing custom In the West
is to sow the seeds of tomatoes where
the plants are to remain. When this
1b done the plants seem to be more
resistant to disease. It is also a prac
tice among those who are familiar
with the growing of tomatoes never
to grow them on the same soil two
years In succession.
Tomatoes most generally suggest
the color red, but with the numerous
varieties developed, there Is sufficient
variation In color to be of Interest.
There are three distinct color types;
the scarlet, referred to as red: crim
son, referred to as pink, and the yel
low tomato.
Garden favorites Include Standard
Marglobe, Earllana, Bonny Best, Pon
derosa, First Early and others.
To insure early ripening and per
fection of fruit, It Is well to train up
and trim the vines. Unslaked they
require spacing of four to five feet,
but staked plants may be set 2 feet
apart, since the growth Is all upright.
On staked plants begin trimming
when they are about a loot tall. They
will show two main branches then.
First, remove tho secondary growth
which has started at the roots, next j
at the place where the leaf stems Join I
the orancnes win be lounu young
shoots started pinch these out being
careiui not to cut on tne leaves.
Tho frultln? stems irrow out of thft
branches betweeh the leaf Joints, and
can be distinguished by the buds or
flowers tney gear. These should not
bo removed.
A five to Btx-foot stake driven Into
the ground about one foot will suffice
for staking the plants.
DESTRUCTION
GREAT; FIRE
STILL RAGES
(Continued form Page One)
Martial law was in operation. Lieu
tenant Colonel Frederick Bradman,
commander of the marine forces, was
in charge of the rescue work. '
Lack of water through a break in
tho water system handicapped the
fire fighting. A scarcity of food
stuffs brought about by the demoli
tion of tho business section added
to the privation. A scarcity of medl-,
cal supplies existed.
A Nlcuraguun Red Cross was formed,
by minister of health. Dr.- Frutos'
Paniagua, to aid relief work. Thirty
Nlclraguan doctors came from Cor
Into, Chinandega and Leon to asslstt
Minister Fanlugua Issued the follow
ing statement: r
"Wo do not possess the necessary
medical supplies adequately to cope
with tho situation. Sincerely trust
tho American Red Cross will be able
to send aid."
Hume New ItulldlngH Standing
Tho only buildings of Importance
left standing were new structures
reinforced by concrete. The front of
tho presidential palace was intact but
the rear part of the bllddlng was slid
ing downwards. Two of the three
Managua banks were destroyed. The
Anglo-South American bank was
dynamited by soldiers before tho
firo reached It and the Anglo-Central
American Commercial bank was
burned to tho ground.
Tho Hotel Luponc. headquarters of
Pan -Aim1 rican ulrwoys wus one of
tho first structures to go. Airport
Manager Harry Rammer was in the
offico when tho temblor was felt and
rushed outside as tho walls caved In.
Tho American legation was burned
and its entire files destroyed. Ellis
M. Stevens, clerk at the legation was
sitting on tho ports of Diedrecltas
chalet when the quake came. He
dashed away as the chalet slid Into
Asososca lagoon.
Although carrying a head wound
canned by a falling beam, Colonel
Bradman worked throughout the
night without a wink of Bleep. Camp
Do Marto, where tho marines are
barracked, was transformed into a
huge hospital.
President Returns
Returning from his summer home
yesterday President Moncada and
part of his cabinet camped for the
night outside the palace. Ho Issued
the following statement today:
"A stoto of siego has been declared
In tho department of Managua. The
director of tho national guard will
undertake the task of caring for the
people and guaranteeing properties.
Food will be purchased at the ex
pense of the government and dis
tributed gratis. Committees will be
organized to relieve the poor and suf
fering." It is believed that the greater part
of tho deaths occurred at the pub
lic market where a hugo throng had
gathered at the time of the first
shocks. About 10 persons were killed
at the national penitentiary.
Tho American refugees gathered at
the marine barracks where food and
nu (ileal attention was supplied them.
Thousands of natives camped outside
tho city along the ronds.
No iH'pre ilutlim Reported
Authorities posted orders that any
one caught looting would be shot on
tho spot. No depredations had been
repoi ted.
All communications were severed
except those of the Tropical radio,
operating from a plant outside the

Tho delegation was headed by Henry

"In these times, we must all take

"They promised us they would not
