Capital Often Destroyed. Guatemala City la not of the New Work!. It belongs to ”1'1 Spain. It Is u city suggestive of the Moors, with narrow streets, varicolored houses, deep-set barred windows, bright patlcsi, porticos and colonnades. Guate mala's capital has always been Vul can's plaything. He has shaken It down, even destroyed It, and has seen It rise again on three different sites In 1627 Pedro de Alvarado began the first city on the lower slopes of Agua. In 1541 came a night of tor rential rain, lightning, thunder and earth rumblings, then a terrifying shudder. The crater of Agua was torn apart and the hike which filled It rushed down to overwhelm the city. A new capital, built a few miles to the northeast, In time became one of the most Imposing cities of the New World, with splendid palaces and more than (Ml Impressive church build ings. The old city was but a memory, earthquakes were forgottea, and all seemed well as the new capital grew richer nnd more powerful.

The capita) was again transferred, this time 30 miles away to the site of the present city, nnd the life of the people moved on until In 1917 came a series of tremblings that first cracked the thick adobe walls and then caused them to crumble. Since 1917 the capi tal city has again been practically re built, thus Illustrating the tenacity with which people cling to homes that have been erected where the shadow of some volcano falls. On the Mixco Road. Ten miles away, In the village of Mixco, live the Indians who each day carry to the capital the foodstuffs which Its people buy. The road from Mixco to Guatemala City Is one of the fascinating moving pictures of Central America. Dawn In Mixco finds everyone tip, preparing for the long, dally walk to the market place and back home again.

Here comes a family. The father bears a heavy lond of corn or beans or other vegetables, bonding forward under the weight nnd balancing ft urth the tumpllne. The mother, per haps, juggles n wide wicker tray of! vegetables on her head, while sho carries n pair of chickens In either hand and nn Infnnt swung In n shawl about her body. A brood of children follows, each laden according to size nnd capacity. The family dog, anemic, apologetic.
