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.
