Shelter from Sniper*
The second higheit captts! In the
wuild--next to La Pa*, Bolivia—
Quito. metropolis of Ecuador, *1U
In th» heart of the And™. atmoat
two mile* a hove tea level. Believed
by many to be, from an' artistic point
of view, the moat Important city of
the N*w World. Quito ia one of the
oldeet teat* of civilization In the
Western hemisphere. ' Its history
goes back not only to four centuries
of Spanish Influence but further to
the time when It was the capital of
the Inca empire and. befoj-e that, a
settlement of the Caras Indians.
Quito'* geographical situation is
greatly respottsible for the fact that
the city ia today an artistic shrine.
While the vicinity of Plchlncha vol-
cano—at the foot of which the fa-
mous battle tor the independence of
Ecuador was won by Sucre—has
caused tremors and earthquakes
which occasionally rocked the city
'and cracked buildings, causing ex-
tensive damage, the mountains
Have, on the other hand, proved to
be for Quito a protective batrier
from the world. Thus it has retained
more of the characteristics of die
Spanish colonial period than per-
haps any other South American'City.
Only In 1908 was Its modern devel-
opment hastened by the arrival of
the railroad. For centuries before,
the capital of Ecuador had practi-
cally lived a life if its own, remote. '
isolated, kloof -in the heart of Its
mountains, guarding its treasuies
from the passing world.

I Know Something Good
About You"
ViFYirn
Wouldn't tnis old world be better,
If the folks we met would say :
I know something good about you.
And then treat us just that way)
Wouldn't it be fine and dandy,
If each hand-slasp warm and

Carried with it this assurance
I know something good about
you;

Coal Important in
Economy of Nation
Mined now in 82 states, coal baa
become the nation’s principal source
of hast and power
Coal waa first discovered by
American colorists near Rich-
mond, but waa not mined commet-
cialy until 1780. says the National
Geographic society The first mine
waa at Midlothian. 12 miles west of
the city. The Richmond basin was
mined eesmaereiaUy for more than
a hundred years, and still contain
coal, but little la now misted
Sisal, necessary for almost my
type of dafanso equipment, la a
maaaar* of coal's importance.
When Virginia coal psedacttoe be-
gan, 11 eatonies bad true works.
Wouldn't things here be more
pleasant
If the good that's In us all,
Were the only thing about us
That folks bothered to recall!
