situated as to give complete protec
tion from the open sea, and many
ships have ridden there in safety
while tropical hurricanes were rag
ing. The old part of the city is the
western port close to the older sec
tion of the improved waterfront.
There the streets are narrow and
crooked, buildings have no glass,the
small stores have open doorways fac
ing the street, no display windows,
and one sees there the typical char
acteristics of an old tropical Spanish
town. Faces are swarthy, Spanish
the only language heard, children
naked, women dirty appearing, and
the atmosphere pungent with the
usual odors of that sort of environ

Adjoining it on the east is the new

buildings, display" windows, well
stocked stores, clean appearing peo

sanitation and business can accom

York City. It is indeed a beautiful
tropical park: eraceful
shady lanes, and Spanish houses with
tneir wonderful patios give a charm
to the picture more exquisite "than
words can tell."
Thus to my mind, San Juan pre
sents eloquent testimony as to What
can bo done in the tropics. There
one can see, side by side, the con
trasting features of the life usually
considered typical of the Trnn
that which can be accomplished
inrough industry and intelligence.

liness ca nbe seen within a few blocks
and when thus viewed tro observer
cannot help but be convinced tr-at
nature has not been so unkind there
as is usually charged let man meet
his responsibility and the results are
most charming.
Scenes Beautiful
"We left San Juan in the early
evening. As sunset passed, the bay
twinkling with electric lights while
the mountains to the south were still
bathed with the glow of twilieht. I
was impressed with the beauty of the
scene. That was our parting view of
Porto Rico a mountainous island
with fertile coastal lowland, produc
tive lower slopelands, cloud-clad sum
mits overlooking villages along the
sea. As night came on the picture
changed in detail but retained its
tropical beauty until 'twas en
shrouded m the mists of the gather
ing darkness. We were pushing
farther south into the Caribbean
proper.
"About noon of Ausrust 31. ras-
sengers again became keen with an
ticipation as word was passed that we
were coming within sight of the
island of Curacao. We could faintly
make out a mountainous land direct
ly ahead, and after lunch we found
that our chip's course had become
mor to the west and Curacao was
plainly seen ahead and at port side.
The west end of the island has
steep sloped mountains that reach
altitudes of about 1,000 feet; the
east end is a plain above which rises

leveL As the afternoon advanced, we
swung around the west end and ap
proached Willemstad, the port located
at the entrance to a splendid harbor
facing south.
Visit Willemstad
It was the anniversary of Queen
Wilhelmina's birthday (Curacao is as
you know a Dutch possession) so the
city was gaily decorated, everybody
was on holiday, and bo we had to lie
outside for a couple of hours before
we were able to get a pilot to take us
in.
"Willemstad is a unique city in
that 90 percent of its population is
black, the official language is Dutch,
the popular language is Papiamento,
the architecture can be characterized
as that of Spanish walls fitted with
Dutch roofs red tile, steeple pitch
ing, and prominent gables. I know
of no other town like it, really mon
grel in almost all respects.
In the business section and in the
better residence section one sees the
cleanliness characteristic of thd
Dutch but in the native section the
term "spotless town" does not apply.
There the houses are squalid and un
sanitary, streets so narrow that no
wheeled vehicles can pass through,
crooked, and gutters used as open,
unsanitary sewers. One has creepy
feelings passing through there even
in the day time, and I wouldn't enjoy
the thought of having to go there at
night.
'O.ne of the world's, largest re
fineries is in operation on an island
in the bay at Willemstad, owned of
course by the Royal Dutch-Shpll in
terests. It is the result oi oil devel
opment' in the Maracaibo basin, for
Curacao has no oil, the crude is all
brought there in tankers from the
Venezuelan fields, a run of from 0
to 28. hours. The company now has
a fleet of 21 of these tankers and a
number more being built. All in all,
the port of Curacao has become
very busy one, exceeding I am told,
the annual tonnage clearances of
Amsterdam.
Visit Curacao
"We spent two days in Curacao,
then sailed for Venezuela, spending
a day enroute at Puerto Cabello, and
reached La Guaira last Sunday, Sept.
4. The day was spent there in get
ting permits to land, registering at
police headquarters, and passing cus
