Some of the investors in Pa! mi to del Verde, the tropical
island paradise off the coast of SinaJoa, are as indignant with
The Capital Journal as the investors ia the Byrcm-Todd
timber claims were a couple of years ago over a similar ex
pose, whea wrathful letters were written and resolutions of
censure passed condemning the paper for exposing a fraud.
The Capital Journal's only object in printing the facts
about this purported Garden of Eden is to warn the innocent.
It cannot of course, interfere with the constitutional right of
being buncoed. If the Palmio del Verde investors are
satisfied surely the rest of us ought to be, for it is their
money. If it is paradise regained for them, well and good.
The Capital Journal's statements are made in good faith
and are substantiated by those who have made a thorough
investigation. Moreover they are confirmed from official
sources despite the glittering generalities of promoters. The
salient points are :
Thirty dollars aa acre Ls asked for the land, except to cappers
who pay fire, when land on the mainland equally good and morej,i ouii ieal.icg oj a almost total
accessible, earn be purchased at a fraction of the price.
So Talld title can be obtained unless the purchaser becomes a
citizen of Mexico, under the Mexican constitution. Ia lieu of title,
he nnrchamr ia el ten a guarantee of title Issued by a trust eom-
i.anr. which mar or may not be able or willing to deliver.
Tbe Island presents an opportunity for the hardest kind of
pioneering uncleared land in an Isolated region, under a foreign
goTernment, people speaking a foreign language, with no improve
ment, no roads, no markets and a few adobe huts for buildings.
The climate, fine In winter, ls almost unbearable in summer.
The prospectus on which the land is sold, speaks for itself.
It describes a paradise, "the most delightful place" with a
perfect climate the year around, "no frosts, no windstorms",
the rain "falling entirely at night" with the "most extensive
and beautiful tropic beach": an island that grows "all tropical
and most sub-tropical fruits, grains and other products" as
well as the vegetables of the temperate zone. It is "one of
the six greatest game fishing grounds in the world" with
"93 species of the finny tribe", and all kinds of game is
abundant, quails, pigeons, chichalachees and "twenty foot
crocodiles, 300 pound green turtles, nine inch oysters lining
the tree roots, toothsome wild hogs," mountain lions and
jaguars" and all for $ 30 an acre.
Why do they always pick on Salem? Because it is such
easy picking.
knew that h was threatening
her.
I looked about for Tony Mel
ville as John Storm marched to
ard them.
At that moment Julian Thorn -
drke moved around the tabie
somewhat nearer to iKtty, and
graiped her arm. Even from
where I stood I heard her say In
a whisper tesse with pain
"Don't! Don't, Julian, you nnrt
me."
"I will do worse than that If
you don't send them all about
their business. You're mine!
You will do as I want you to."
"You hurt mef You hurt me!"
Kitty wailed.
So engrossed were they that
neither saw John Storm until his
avenging hand whirled Thorn-
ijie around suddenly.
Tomorow A Scene of Horror.
Abating a Nuisance
Spooning couples in curtained autos are becoming a
nuisance according to suburban residents, who find the autos
parked along country roads at all times of night with lights
dimmed or extinguished. Most of the occupants are boys
and girls though once in a while there are those old enough
to know better.
According to welfare workers, the auto is one of the
greatest contributing causes to juvenile delinquency. Of
course the remedy lies with parents who let their girls run
wild at night and furnish their boys with gas and autos for
joy-riding. What, however, can the authorities do to check
if not stop the growing delinquency?
It has been suggested that the suburbanites turn in to
the county probation officer the license number of the
offending auto and that this officer notify the auto owner,
A second offense by the same auto would be followed by
publication or the license number and name of owner. It is
hardly probable that a second offense would be permitted
by the car owner. A third offense would be followed by
publication of the names of the young people.
There is no question but that publicity of this sort would
aDate mucn or tne nuisance. What do you think of it?
Write your ideas to The Capital Journal, if you have any, of
the method that should be followed to abate a nuisance and
lessen a menace to morals.

It was then we saw Tony Mel
ville, still dancing up and down
n the floor of the stage and
ihouting to Kitty:
"You are some actress! That
hot wil make you, my dear. Won
lerful! Splendid.' Such a
wealth of feeling! It will put
rour name In electric lights in
our nest picture, Kitty. 1 al
tars said you had it In you if
ou would only get down to buBi

Setting the import of Tony's ap
plause, she smiled half sadly.
"I'm glad you liked it, Tony. I
iidn't know I was acting, but I

.he onlr one who believed in me
jtlieved that I could make some-;
thing."
Just then Tony saw John Storm
-ind me, and he generously in
Juried us in his assertion that we
also believed In her.
Again a look of fear passed
,ver her face. With a hasty
.'lance around the stage, as If
joking for something, she an
wered ia a high, unnatural
.oice:
"But they're just friends, Tony
They're Just friends)"
"Anything on your mind,
John? Tbe churcn set ls all right

you. Particularly not Julian
fborndyke. His acting as a mali
gnant devil is perfect."
I had gone over to Kitty and
,tood with my bun about her. I
felt her form stiffen and then
melt as though it was almost
spineless. " It is not assumption,
wrgie. It i3 no fissumption."
"Come on with me to the pro
jection room, Virgle," called
John as he strode off.
For about 10 minutes we sat In
:ae inky darkness and watched
he disconnected scenes without
itles or sequence.
The only thing mat I got from
t all and from the labored
ireathing of John Storm beside
ue, I knew that he was affected!
n the same way with the fiend-'
dhness of Julian Thorndyke and
he fear of him which Kitty por
. rayed.
"Marvelous acting," said John
-lorm, as though to reassure
htmself. and then he murmured
doubtfully, "if he be acting."
I made no comment, for the
emotions depicted on that screen
ere terrible. My whole desire
was to get away from them and
lut Into God's clear sunlight.
The lights flashed up and my
lungs began to feel normal even
the fetid atmosphere of the
projection room.
Again that restless anxiety to
be with Kitty seemed to be John
itorm's consuming desire.
Let's hurry back, Virgle," he
itigsested nervously, and then, as
though ashamed of his emotion.
he exclaimed: "I would like to
fee the next set-up."
When we came on the stage we
found Kitty almost cowering in
one corner, while Julian Thorn-
fyke 'stood beside her. Although1
we could not hear what he wa? ;
raying, the expression on both '
faces made it unnecessary. We!
