M. DEPT. STORE Two Speakers Appear on Study Club Program Mrs. Frank Alberts and Mrs. J. W. Jacobs were speakers at the meeting of the Wednesday Study club at the Girls' Com munity clubhouse during the last week. "Chile" was the topic of Mrs. Alberts' talk and Mrs. Jacobs reviewed the book, "Broad and Alien Is the World," by Ciro Anegrio, Peruvian writ er. The book is a translation of a prize-winning Peruvian writ ing. In her talk Mrs. Alberts de scribed Chile geographically as a country of three parts, the sunbaked desert of the north where copper and nitrate are found; the central valley Which is industrial in nature and the southerly regions where raina fall on a wilderness of fjords, virgin forests, rough pasture Mrs. Alberts pointed out that until 1810 Chile was a neglected outpost of the crown and her population was divided between a small company of land holders and a great body of laborers. One estate in Varpariso had 4, 000 workers and did not use a single piece of machinery as labor is cheap and machinery expensive. Ox teams are seen everywhere in Chile pulling two wheeled carts or plows. Popu lation in Chile is divided and there are 85,000 Germans in the country. In Valdivia, 161 tele phones were listed and 129 of these were under German names. The war of 1879 gave -Chile undisputed possession of the ni trate area and brought 40 years of prosperity to the southern country. In 1910 Chile furn ished 64.3 per cent of the world's nitrate but in 1938 only 7.1 per cent Less nitrate has increased the output of the chief by-product which "is iodine.
