Portugal Is n country rich, In all things save in popular energy. Ger many and France, until the late war, exploited Its Sardine Industrie#, one of Its most valuable Items of com- 1 merce. The cork forests are nbun- [ dant, and the olive and grape are very prolific in their yield. Tropical and subtropical fruits of many varieties abound, and can be bought for trilling amounts. The Portuguese peasants have been called the most kindly and dependable I of all Europe. Each province Is dis tinguished by a different and most picturesque costume. The excellence of Its climate; the varied aspects and) diversity of its vegetation; the multi plicity of Its hot and cold springs ; I the progressive Improvement In Its hotel nccommodatlons, offered at a lower price than that of any others in Europe. make Portugal one of the most favored of lands for the ex ploitation of the tourist. /(t the present time the Mother of Navigators, as Portugal has ' been named, Is less known by geographers and archeologists than any other country on the continent. No lands hove been hotter glorified by nature; and burled Roman and Cel tlc-lberlan cities, treasure houses of antiquity, are rich mines for conquest with pick and shovel. Portugal Is an agricultural country, but the sardine Industry makes up a large part of her commerce. Millions of boxes of this product of Portu guese canners bear the imprint of French packere, some even with | France as the country of origin. The | abundant olive lends itself to the packer of the better-grade sardine, yielding, as It does, a superior oil. The cork tree, which produce* a new bark once In ten ypars, gives an Important . article for export. Each stripping furnishes about $10 worth of bark per tree. The other woods most, abundant are the acacia, poplar, elm. ash. eucalyptus, pine and qpk. About one acre in five of the total area of Portugal Is wooded. The more re mote agricultural and timber districts are handicapped by the hick of even reasonably good transportation faell- I Itles, either railroad or wagon. Conglomeration of Races. Kthnologleally Portugal is h " con glomerate. The people of the north ern province of Entre Diuro and Mlnho and Tras-os-Montes are of Gallclan stock ; In the lower province the Portuguese have Intermarried with the Arab.

' NOT YET FULLY CIVILIZED . i Solomon Islanders at Times Apt to Go Back to Pleasant Diversion of Head Hunting. > ' Tho Solomon Islands arc* famous as one of tho last stronghold* of head hunting and cannibalism. Some of the natives have been converted to a civilized respect for human life, but the native taste of the Solomon Island er si III approves a ceremonial feast once In a while, with several members of a hostile tribe tastily cooked and served. Head-hunting has for centuries been a part of hie islander's religion and Is '"f?Umied with groat zenl and a kind of ecstatic enjoyment to all except ? the victims. Head-hunters from one tribe set out for a hunt to the lands of- another- tribe. They swoop down On n village, seize as many victims as possible and escape. The trophies of the chase are Impaled on posts as evi dence of the hunters' prowess, while the feast which follow? consists main ly of the victims. If the attacked tribe knows of the plan beforehand It will retina to Ps tree houses, where it is safe for a while. Those houses are built fifty or sixty fvotr from the ground in the branches of giant trees. Ladders hang from them and up these the agile na tives climb and then pull up t^ie lad der. _ ? Usually a hunt is now instituted j only for one or iwo sacrifices, and skulls as decorations in the house's are less fashionable than they . once were. This Is a favorable sign, but the r6al Solomon islander Is far fro.ni tame and It apt to relapse any time Into,, the ways of his fathers. WONDERFUL WORK OF NATURE Grand Canyon of Arizona, Now a National Park, Called Most 8ub> lime of Earthly 8pectacles. Grand Canyon National park, In the northwest corner of Arizona, Is the neweat of our national playgrounds, having been brought Into the national park family by an act of congress In 1019. The canyon Is a titanic gash In the earth's erijst, a stupendous chasm. In places 10 to 13 miles wide from rim to rim, over 200 miles long and more than a mile deep. This wonder of Nature, said to be the most sublime of earthly spectacles, Is a composite of thousands and tens of thousands of gorges. Long years ago bronzed savages built their dwellings on the sides of Its cliffs. In 1R40 one of the early Spanish explorers stood on Its brink and gazed with awe at Its vastness ; a Franciscan priest 200 years later was the next white visitor; then for more than 80 years the big canyon re mained un visited , except by Indians and an occasional herdsman or trap per. Now the skill of man has made it accessible both by train and by auto mobile, and every year thousands of tourists view this crowning wonder of the American west. Feast Of Purim.
