GUATEMALA: LAND OE
. UPHEAVALS AND'
"PROGRESS”
A condition of upheaval, not neces~
sarily from political causes. is noth-
in’g new to the republic of Guatemala.
This country has wonderfully rich and
fertile soil and its climate rarely in
equaled. '
The city of Guatemala, which is now
partially rebuilt, was the scene of one
of the most violent earthquakes known
in Central American history. This
earthquake extended over several
months during the latter part of 1917
and the early months of 1918. It be
gan November 7, 1917. On Christ—
mas night in e parks of the .city,
beneath a full moon in an untroubled
sky, the populace huddled watching
in fear and misery their homes, the
trees, and the earth as well. creep,
writhe and twist.
On the night of January 24, the
moon again beamed from a cloudless
sky upon these people as they saw
nearly every remaining edifice in their
city tumble in whirlwinds ‘of dust.
The tremors seemed to center under
the very city itself, and spectators
have said that they feared that the
earth would give away and a volcano
form in the very heart of the city.
Houses and bell towers crumbled, wa-
ter mains were broken, the sewage
oozed up in the streets and, in the
cemeteries, skeletons were shaken out
of their coffins.
One can take a steamer from New
Orleans and in three days reach Puer-
to Barrios, on the Gulf of Amatique.
along the sunny eastern shores of the
country. where stately palms wave in
greeting.
' Along this seacoast and further in-
land lnrce banana plantations cover
thousands of acres. This one compar-
atlvely small country raises for its
own and the outside world's consump- ‘
tion about ten million bunches of bu-
nanas a year. The valley of the Mo-
tagua r"i\ei is considered one of the
world
But the most important crop of the
state is cotTec. 'In 1918 Guatemala
produced about one hundred and ten
million pounds of coffee, more than
seventy .million pounds of which were
exported to the United States.
In the mountains of southwestern
Guatemala live pure-blooded Indians
who 'have won admiration of travel-
ers for their physique, cleanliness and
scrupulous honesty. One visitor tells
of trying to bu ' a ring from an In-
dian girl, who efused to sell b‘éfifiuse’
the Jewel was not pure gold, and 8110’
did not: .‘ish to sell a stranger an
imitation!
These Indians wear beautiful shawls
with no fringes, dyed in brilliant col-
ors. When brought to this country
specimens have withstood repeated
u ashing and the colors have retpine‘d
their marvelous lusici. '

ZARA: FAMOUS FOR ITS
MARASCHINO AND ITS
CHUR HES.
Zara, where Gubri e d'Annunzio
landed troops to strengthen his posi-
tion at Flume, is ceded to Italy under
the terms of the llapallo agreement
between Italy and Jugo- Slavia. This
city, noted for its churches and its
maraschino, is described in a communi-
cation to the National Geographlc‘l‘o-
clety by Kenneth McKenzie as fol—
lows ;‘
“Starting from ‘Fiume, one sails
down the channel~calied Quarnerolo,
leaving Istria and the Gulf of Quar-
nero to the right. The Island of Arbe',

A ONE-MAN FLAG—THE
PRESIDENT’S.
Most folk know of some of the perz
qmites that will accrue to the next
President of the United States, such
as a band which is at his disposal—the
Marine band—and the White House
conservatories which provide the first
lady of the land with flowers, but it
is not so genelally known that one of
the honors bestowed upon the chief
executive is a special ting.
This flag is not seen frequently. It
does not float over the White House.
Its use is reserved. for the most part.
for occasions when tbe‘Presldent ap-
pears in his ex-otllclo capacity as com.
mandor in chief of the army and the
navy. ,
The President's flag consists of the
coat~of-arms as they appear on the
President's seal, against a blue back-
ground. 3nd flanked by four stars. In
history and use are described in the
monograph on “Flags of the World"
of the National Geographic society as
follows:
\Vhen the President visits a. vessel
of the United States. the President's
flag is broken at the main the mo-
ment he reaches the deck, and is
kept flying as long as he is on board.
If the vessel can do so. 11 national sa-
lute of 21 guns is fired as‘scfin as
possible after his arrival on board.
Upon departure, another salute of 2].
guns is fired. the President’s flag be-
ing lowered with the last gun of the
salute.
When the President is embarked
in a boat he usually directs that his
flag be displayed from theAtai'f in the
how of his barge. When he passes
in a boat flying his flag, vessels of
the navy parade the full gu rd, four
ruilies are given on the 11m, four
flourishes are sounded on the bugle,
the National Anthem is played by [the
band. and oillccrs and men salute.
When the President is embarked in
a ship flying his ting. all saluting ships,
on meeting he:\at sea or elsewhere,
and all naval batteries, fire a national
salute 011 passing. , ,
-Pnevious to the. present order
there were two designs displayed on
flags and on colors to be used in the
presence of the commander in chief
of the army and the navy. The navy
design was of an earlier date than
that of the army, and consisted of the
coat-of-arms of the United States. as
shown in the Great Seal, upon a blue
ground. This happened to be almost
identical with the infantry colors. The
President's colors were designed to be
distinctive from the infantry colors.
and consisted» of a blue ground with
a large crimson star. outlined heavily
with white. Within the stair was to
be seen the coat-of—nrms of the United
States. andmutside the star within its
angles were powdered small stars
to the number of states in the
Union.
Can Can.
All the world before long ‘will be
canning American style, if the present
rate of progress keeps-up. Last year
France asked the loan of some can.
ning specialists from the United
States Department of. Agriculture to
teach them the purely American art
of home canning. The results were
so gratifying that the same group were
asked to return this year to give
further instruction. They went, and
"their work everywhere/in France was
attended with gratifying results.
The director general of agriculture
ing *of the method of preserving fruits
and vegetables being taught the
French, asked if the American canning
experts could be lent to Luxemburg
when they were through in France.
This was arranged. and the firsttwo
weeks‘in September found the Ameri-
cans teaching in Luxemburg how to
to can meat and fish. From Luxembnrg
the demonstrators wear to Holland .
