Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 13. Mexicans pay little attention to
flies, but flies pay considerable attention to Mexicans. This being
the tropics the flies are thicker down here than in Mexico City,
where one is higher up In the air than on the rim of Crater Lake,
and sanitary conditions are far better than elsewhere In May-hee-ko.
Every hotel room here at any rate ours, is supplied
with a fly-gun, however, the windows are screened, and fly swat
ting is pretty well confined to tho dining room and great outdoors.

Like everything else In Mexico, Vera Cruz has grown amazingly
In the 16 years since our last visit, new buildings are springing
up all over the place, especially In the suburbs and along the
beach, toward Mocambo.
And as In Mexico City so here, this is all private enterprise.
Individuals and groups of individuals are building these new hotels
and anartment houses for only one reason, because Ihey believe
they can make a profit. Yet many people claim Mexico is going,
communist as fast as the local labor leaders ana tne ttussian
embassy can provide the proper transportation.
"DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT1" Vermont is as near communist as
Mexico City and the other portions of Mexico we have visited,
the capitalistic system is not only apparent everywhere, It Is
flourishing like the green-bay tree!

In Palm Springs gardenias were $2 apiece and orchids $5 and
both were at least at Easter time hard to get. Coming down
here on the scenic and leisurely Mexican railroad, a 20-minule
stop was made at Fortin (pronounced Fourteen) now sporting one
of the most attractive tourist hotels in the republic. They were
selling gardenias at the station at 20 cents a basket and orchids
at 80 cents a bunch, while one

them.
It only shows what a difference a few thousand miles can
make, also the potency of the
In the jungle near Fortin, orchids grow wild and gardenias are
almost as much a pest as dandelions on the Rogue Valley golf
course! (Imagine the scramble if trainloads of Mexicans passed
through Medford every day and would hand out two-bits for
baskets of dandelions!)
a a a
Well there Is just such a scramble at most of the stops on the I
train to Vera, Cruz.
But not for the tourist trade entirely. The day coach trade really
adds up to more in volume and dollars and cents. For while the
one Pullman is always full (it is called a Pullman but It is only
a day coach with reclining seats and tray service) the day-coaches,
like those coming down from Juarez are OVERFLOWING, no
passengers on top but plenty on the platforms anfl steps and In
every window faces.

So perhaps It is no wonder
one to 24 hours late. The train crews have appetites also and large
generous hearts
This Vera Cruz trip Is one every visitor to Mexico should take
for it gives such a wonderful, compressed cross-section of this
interesting country, from the Arctic zone and the snow-capped
tops of "Popo", through the dust bowl and the ancient pyramids,
on via the temperate to the tropical zone and Mexico's beautiful
eastern sea coast, "Multum In parvo" is the term, and while the
train trip Is slow and tedious, it
worth It.
Moreover the train winds up
tunnels but on the OUTSIDE, so one has all the advantages an
air-trip Is supposed to provide but seldom does. (There Is plane
service between Vera Cruz and Mexico City but it Is confined

like Mexico by leaps and bounds we were Informed. Freight cars
loaded with them in green compact bunches were being hauled to
Mexico City as we came down. Apparently the harvest had been
pretty thorough, for while we passed through thousands of banana
groves, only a few bunches could be seen, and the bananas were
small, In many cases looking
luscious golden fruit, so prized now
By the way did you know some
nutritive disease which proves fatal in a short time if bananas
can't be provided, for only bananas can give the necessary nutri
ment to sustain life. We met the mother of such a baby on the
train, a former Seattle girl who married the assistant manager
of a large sugar refinery near Cordova. The baby is now four years
old, and In another year will be out of danger, but It has been
touch and go all that time, the little girl has sometimes eaten
over a dozen bananas day)
Wa spent the night at Mocambo, four or five miles south of
Vera Cruz, the chief reason being the heat in Vera Cruz, and the
cooler air promised at Mocambo with the hotel only a stones-throw
from the roaring surf of the Atlantic ocean, the Gulf of Mexico
to be exact.
It proved wise selection for while we were unable to consult
thermometer, the general atmosphere on our arrival (nearly two
hours late) approached if it did not quite equal, the general climate
of the G.O.P. convention at Chicago, last June. Wowee but it was
sticky and hot and suffocating in that station, until we got out!

Near the close of the season at Mocambo which made It even
pleasanter, for not many people about. Every one takes swim,
some two or three times In the day; the beach la wide, clean,
and the water until one gets far out, almost warm.
Early in the morning, we saw a large fishing boat take off
down the beach, the long oar blades flashing In the earlv morning
sun, and a dark figure in the stern letting out huge foids of net.
Later walking up the beach we saw the same fishermen a dozen

The catch after all that work must have been very disappointing
for we should say not more than a dozen mackerel of a commercial

thrown back.

Letter From Washington
By HARRIS ELL8WORTH
Member oi Congress From Oregon
LAST week I made very
hurried visit to the west coast
and was in my district about
thirty-six hours.
When congress recessed for
Easter, I was offered an oppor
tunity to ride out to the coast
in an army plane which was
making the trip and had several
spare seats in it. So, I became
an aerial hitch-hiker, and in the
course of nine days elapsed time
I averaged about 1,000 miles a
day.
a a a
TRAVELLING in army air
planes was an interesting and
enlightening experience. The
army, of course, does not send
airplanes at the beck and call of
the members of congress, but
members, being officials of the
government, generally are wel
come to ride in service planes If
there Is room. I had the good
fortune to line up a ride with a
colonel who took a half a dozen
members of his staff out to San
Francisco and Los Angeles and
back on technical mission.
The plane was a large two-
motor ship, but it was not the
last word in comfort. In its
active service days, it was a
paratrooper ship, and probably
was in use on the African desert,
since it was painted brown with
desert camouflage. The seats
were benches along the sides,
and they were not upholstered.
After having spent more than
thirty hours in this plane, I
realize that the job of a para
trooper is a hard one in more
ways than one.
There is nothing haphazard
about cross-country flights of
service airplanes. The air high
ways are as carefully designated
as motor highways. All flights
are scheduled in advance, clear
ed by the weather section, and
are made according to plan.
Nor are army pilots reckless
dare-devils who zoom around in
big airplanes with abandon. On
the contrary, these pilots and
crews are serious, careful and
highly-trained young men. With

PEOPLE are pretty much the
same everywhere you find them
in this broad country of ours.
One thing we all have Is a feel
ing that the part of the country
we call "home" Is just a little
better than any other place in
the nation. I feel, for example,
that the pacific coast, and espe
cially the southern part of Ore
gon, is by long odds the only
really livable part of the United
States. Most of the young offi
cers with whom I made this trip
live In the east, and I was
amused at their conversation as
we left the airplane at Boiling
Field after having made the trip
back here from the west coast
As we were walking out to
the car, one of them said to the
other: "Boy, doesn't this air feel
good? It's certainly grand to be
back here. I didn't like that
Pacific coast country at all,

much better they liked this part

of the Pacific coast air, and
could see no virtue In what 1

home, possessed by all of the
people from wherever they may
come in our great country, is
one of the things which makes
this nation great.

'concerned over day-to-day fluc
tuations. Avoid Jumping from
one stock to another in the hope
of picking a few points profit
here and there. Do not follow
the crowd. Always bear In mind
that In finance the herd instinct
is fatal.
SELECTING YOUR COMPANY
Before buying any stock you
should decide what you expect
of it. In the case of the man who
has sold his business, the chances
are that he will want to own
stocks that will appreciate' In
value. Therefore, ha would do
well to buy into a young Indus
try possibly television, plas
tics or electronics. To the elder
ly couple who want Income, I
suggest "Series G" Government
Bonds and the securities of well
established companies with a
good dividend record and a
promising future. To the young
person who has Inherited the
$8,000, I say, 'The stock market
is no royal road to easy money
A horse race would be just as
good a bet and might prove more
exciting!'.'
The investor should carefully
study the trend of' the market
and the outlook for the Industry
Into which he plans to buy. This
shows when to buy. He should
next analyze the various com
panies in that industry. He will
then select that company which
is making the most progress.
This company need not neces
sarily be the largest in its field
nor, perhaps, the oldest, but It
must be well managed and ac
tive. Pay particular attention to
the personnel. Remember that
the suture of every company will
depend upon tbe character of
the individuals who control and
manage it.
"TIPS" YOU MAY ACCEPT
Approach the stock market In
an intelligent manner. Follow
the lead of successful institutions
and buy the securities they buy
You can determine this by study
Ing reports of insurance com
panies. Learn to swim before
venturing into deep water and
above all be wary of tips from
well-meaning friends. Even In
the rare Instances where such a
tip makes good temporarily, it
usually leads to loss in the end
because it is based on ephemeral
rather than fundamental factors.
The successful investor must
know what to buy or sell, as
well as when to buy or sell.
