Dr. Wade explained that both
the Norwegian shipping line and
the South American mining con
cern were largely financed by the
Aluminum Company of America,
but that this company found it
cheaper and more satisfactory to
carry on operations under foreign
registry.
While the Vest Vangen was
loading its cargo of bauxite, Pro
fessor Wade and the ship's cap
tain made plans to travel by auto
to the shore colony which adjoins
Devil's Island. Impassable roads
caused them to abandon this side
trip which would have taken one
day by auto or a week by canoe.
Slaves reverted to savagery.
Professor Wade found the na
tive villages lining the Cottica
river to be of especial interest.
The ancestors of the present in
habitants were African slaves who
escaped from their Sanish mas
ters. The descendants of these
slaves have reverted to a jungle
life almost identical with that now
lived by their respective tribes in
Africa.
The other natives of the region,
the South American Indians, Dr.
Wade described as being "short,
rather light and similar to the
Indians found in Central Amer
ica." Many of the "bush niggers"
have become civilized and hold
responsible positions, Prof. Wade
reported. The captain of the tug
which towed the Vest Vangen up
and down the Cottica for the 30
miles immediately below Moengo
was a negro and his son was one
of the two non-Norwegian mem
bers of the larger ship's crew.
"Bushmen"' police town.
Other negroes have positions on
the police force of Moengo. Where
as the Indians hold few, if any,
responsible positions and are
usually low-priced manual la
borers if they live in town.
Prof. Wade thought the port
and island of Trinidad to be the
most interesting port of call on
his itinerary. Here "almost all
kinds of tropical fruits imagine-
Corn Cobs elect George

George Cameron was elected to
fill the post of Corn Cob secretary
at the pep club meeting last night.
Robert Flory, elected to the post
last semester resigned earlier this
week.
The club voted to award a prize
of one dollar to the person hand

the Minnesota football game. Slo

able and some others besides" are
cultivated and raised for market.
Moreover, prices of such goods as
British linens and English pipes
are as cheap as in the Dutch
controlled free port of Curacao
off the coast of Venzuela.
Oil big industry.
Describing the island of Cura
cao, Prof. Wade noted that it was
the home of many large Dutch
oil refineries. The petroleum is
taken from the ground in Ven
zuela and transported to Curacao
and Aruba to be refined because
of the more suitable government
prevailing there. Commenting on
the markets of Curacao, Prof.
Wade recalled that women pas
sengers bought perfumes there
for four and five rollars which

would cost 20 or 30 dollars at
home.
Speaking of the life aboard
ship Dr. Wade remarked that the
boat had accomodations for only
a dozen passengers. Prof. Wade
finds passenger-freighters prefer
able to regular passenger liners.
Some of his fellow passengers who
had previously travelled only
aboard liners joined with him in
favoring cargo boat voyaging.
