I cannot talk about Cuba without
confessing that the mental picture
previously formed of the Island, its
resources and its people, proved so
erroneous that I am still at sea on
the subject. I hud thought of the
little Republic as largely a black
man’s country, in which a lot of
sugar cane and tobacco was grown
by the working classes while the
others played politics. Well, the
l'act Is, everything most turned out j
to be different; so different that I
am still under

LIS. INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 12.—So
ciety folks here are up in arms over
the recent passage by the city coun
cil of an ordinance requiring the
presence of a dance matron at all
dances.
When the new law was passed
here, the city folks thought it ap
plied only to public dances, but a
closer inspection shows that all
dances comes under the new act.
The new law provides that
semi-tropical hyp-: dance nia y 8tart until a matron, who
' has been named by the Police De-
dred miles. Sugar and tobacco are
its principal products and In their
growth or manufacture are employ
ed the most “up-to-date” and expen
sive machinery that can be found In
the world.
Last year’s sugar crop, most of
which was sold in the United States,
brought $121,000,000. Her tobacco

city today continued their plans for
holding the big mass meeting to
morrow, at which plans will be dis
cussed looking to her re-instatement
as Superintendent of the Schools.
It is said the women who aro
behind this movement, also aim at
the removal of all the members of
the Board of Education who voted
against Mrs. Young.
No single political incident in re
cent years has caused as much ex
citement as has the forced retire
ment of Mrs. Young.

I am not going to attempt „ de

wall of a strange language. You

some senorlta of tho midnight eyes
come back at you with, “Quo dice?”
The City of Havana Is built around
the harbor, with its resident sections
running along tho ocean front and
radiating out along the higher ridg
es towards the west and south. That
portion of tho city lying within the
lines of the old protecting walls,
still bears all the marks of ancient
Spain—Spain of the lGth century.
Beyond, or from the Prado west,
the buildings have a more modern
look, but tho large. Iron, grilled win

L era your week’s laundry in a coach.
B Why not. It costs but a peseta (20
f' cents), even less than a lottery tick
et. It’s a good thing for the lot
tery.
Another thing that struck me
forcibly was the universal good na
ture and willingness to oblige
the part of officials. It Is the same,
from the policeman on the comer
to the President in tho Palace,
llteness seems to be universally
prevalent. The car conductor will
wait for you to go back and get your
hat and the night-watchman will tell
you where you live, ilnd the house
and open the door for you. Of
course, he may expect a tip, but It’s
worth It—If you are tipsy.
There was so much to see In so

Cuba’s population Is 2,S0v,000,

The exports from Cuba this year
will amount to about $150,000,000,
Imports about $120,000,000. This
means a per capltg export of $60.00.
The latest available statistics place
the per capita export of the United
States at only $18.90, which looks
to me like a pretty good business
showing for a young Republic.
Her Increase in exports during the
past ten years has amounted to
197%. Imports during the same
period have increased 56%. If this
rate of Rpeed could be maintained
for another ten years, her people
would have to move to NeiV York
In order to spend their cash.
The climate, as far' I can judge,
could not be improved if you made
it to order, and in point of health,
according to international statistics,
Cuba stands almost ht the head of
the list. Australia alone ranks a
shade higher, but that Island is too
far away for consideration. Uru
guay, in South America, Is a poor
second, with the United States con
siderably in the rear of both.
Investment opportunities are both
unlimited but, like every other
country, it is well to “get in right,”
if you do not want to get burnt. In
this connection, as in many others,
I found the service of the Bureau of
Information invaluable. It is an ad
junct to the Departmnot of Agricul
ture, Commerce and Labor, and if
they do not have the particular in
formation you may happen- to want,
they will send out and get it; all of
this, too, without cost.
Another thing I learned was, that
the Executive arm of the Cuban
r-overument, at least, is today com
posed of first-class, efficient and real
ly patriotic men, who are endeav
oring to bring tho Republic up to
the standard of modern civilized
nations.
The President, Gen. Alario O.
Menocal, and the majority of his
Cabinet, speak English fluently, sev
eral of them having been graduated
from some of our best universities.
Their task in governing Cuba is said
not to be. an easy one. but they cer
tainly appear to know what they are
doing, and it seems to me that I
have read some things to the effect
that we, in the United States, had
a few troubles of our own during
the first years of our National life,
so we can afford to give Cuba a
chance for she sure is some country.
