Swing music is definitely oat as far as members of tfce Kansas City Toy Symphony orchestra are con
cerned. Appearing recently at the Golden Gate International exposition in San Francisco, the orchestra
was led by young Lloyd Frederick, playing marimba, xylophone and orchestra bells in a series of difficult
numbers. The tots, from 3Vi to 9 years of age, are members of a Kansas City musical school. NC-4 Stopped There

Too Much Water Will Make Plants Appear Scraggly
If your house plants appear scrag
gly and sickly, it may be that they
get more water than they can as
similate. If you use a jardiniere,
pot the plant in an ordinary florist’s
pot with drainage vent in the bot
tom, and be sure that the jardiniere
is large enough to permit the pot
to rest on small blocks of wood or
stones so that excess water may
drain away from the roots. Keep
the soil loose with a small claw
tool or fork, but be careful not to
injure the roots when loosening the
dirt. The ideal way to water plants,
of course, is to set them in a tub
of water and allow the roots to ab
sorb the moisture through the bot-

Welcoming the Yankee Clip
per on its transatlantic flights
at Horta, Azores islands, is not
a new thrill for citizens of the
city.
The navy plane, NC-4, which
took off from Newfoundland
on the first transatlantic flight
in 1919, landed at Horta on May 17.
Commanded by Lieutenant-Com
mander Albert C. Reid, the NC-4 was
one of three planes that made the
“hop.” Two planes failed 200 miles
short of the Azores. One was forced
down and abandoned by its crew and
the other was lost in fog, landed on
the sea, ahd taxied to Ponta Del
gado, the metropolis of the islands.
Lindbergh Stopped There.
Again the citizens of Horta peered
into the skies on November 21, 1933,
and greeted Col. and Mrs. Charles
i A. Lindbergh as they descended
into the harbor from Lisbon on
their epochal flight around the north
Atlantic.
The Azores port, since then, has
frequently been visited by transat
lantic flyers, especially during 1938,
which was a boom year in transat
lantic flying. Among the planes
alighting on the harbor were the
German Nordmeer and British Mer
cury, the latter the famous picka
back plane. The city was also host
to the crew of the German Branden
burg and the French Lieutenant de
Vaisseau Paris.
It took 17 hours and 33 minutes
for the Yankee Clipper to reach

Bolivia’s newly established dicta
torship can affect foreign countries
more than would changes in many
other parts of South America, be
cause Bolivia’s government is
financed mainly by the revenue
from its exports, and its exports—
particularly tin—are in strong de
mand.
Tin, one of the strategic metals
highest on the United States’ want-
list, is Bolivia’s number one product
and is responsible for its biggest
business. As the third greatest tin-
producing country of the world, Bo
livia is the nearest source for that
metal to all countries of the New
World, sine* its chief competitors
are the Federated Malay States and
the Netherlands Indies in Asia.
Most of Bolivia’s tin ore exports,
however, go to Great Britain, since
there are no tin smelters in Bolivia
or the United States. Bolivian tin
returns to the Americas from Brit
ish smelters.
In Bolivia “the tin standard” sub
stitutes for the gold standard. This
metal constitutes from two-thirds to
nine-tenths of the country’s exports;
and export duties in this land of
impoverished agriculture and limit
ed industry are the chief sources of
the government’^ income. During
1937 the nation produced 12 per cent
of the world’s tin output.
But Bolivia is by no means a one-
metal land. Some 98 per cent of her
exports are minerals, tin being fol
lowed in value by silver, lead, anti
mony, zinc, tungsten, copper, and
bismuth. In antimony, too, the
country ranks third on the list of
producing nations. Its position is
now of added importance because
China has previously been the lead
ing source of supply but is no longer
a factor in the world market.
In addition to utilitarian tin and
the Spanish silver of such romantic
lore, exports of rubber, quinine, and
exotic chinchilla fur help to make

Upper photo shows the NC-4 rid
ing at her moorings there during
the epoch - making transatlantic
flight of 1919. Twenty years later,
in lower photo, the Yankee Clip
per stops at Horta.
Horta but the NC-4, two decades ago,
was in the air only 15 hours and 17
minutes. A glance at a map of
the Atlantic shows that the differ
ence in time is explained by the dis
tances flown. The Yankee Clipper
took off from Baltimore, Maryland,
about 2,800 miles west of Horta; the
NC-4 started from Newfoundland to
the northwest, which is about half
the distance.
Transatlantic Cable Station.
Horta is the principal port and
largest city on Fayal island. Near
ly one-third of the island’s 20,000
inhabitants live in the city whose
white, red-roofed buildings sprawl
along the shore of one of the finest
harbors in the Azores.
Situated on the southeast shore of
the island, the harbor is subject to
heavy winds, but a half-mile-long
jetty makes it a sought-for haven
during stormy weather. Fifteen to
twenty large vessels may safely an
chor in the harbor at a time.
Horta was significant as a trans
oceanic communications center
even before transatlantic flights
were made. It is the most important
junction point of transatlantic ca
bles. In one of its buildings six com
panies—British, German, Italian,
French, and two American—are
housed. They handle messages for
stations in North America, Europe,
and South Africa, and by intercon
nection for stations in every part of
the world.

Bolivia known to the outside world.
Some estimates rank Bolivian for
ests second to those of Brazil for
production of South American rub
ber; since much of the smaller
country’s forest products float down
the headwaters of the Amazon to
Brazilian ports, their origin is ob
scure.
In an area more than twice as
large as Texas, Bolivia supports
only 55 per cent as many people as
the Lone Star state. This is the
only South American nation without
access to the sea directly from its
own ports; Bolivia lost her coastal
territory to Chile after the War of
the Pacific nearly 60 years ago. The
land-locked Andean plateau, cradled
12,000 feet above sea level between
two snow-capped ranges with peaks
exceeding 21,000 feet, has so im
pressed popular imagination—with
its “world’s highest capital. La
Paz,” and its “world’s highest
steamer service” on Lake Titicaca
—that the'low tropical plains to the
east of the mountains are frequent
ly forgotten. Yet these extensive
lowlands constitute about 70 per
cent of the nation’s 537,792 square
miles. On the south they merge
into the Gran Chaco, scene of the
most recent war in the Western
Hemisphere
