NB of the worst hurricanes of recent weeks strudk the FIJI Islands, about which there are probably more misconceptions than about any other of the Pacific islands. Three popular fallacies about the Fijis are: that they are tiny islets; that they are typical tropical lands, hot and unhealthy; and that the natives are savages. In reality the FlJls arc the large* islands situated well out In the clflc. Only New Caledonia, the Solomon islands, and the Bismarcks, aW relatively close to Australia and New Guinea, are larger. The total area of the Fijis is greater than that «C the Hawaiian islands;.and VItl Leva, the main island of the FIJI group, Is almost exactly the same size as Hawaii, the giant-of the horthern islands. Fiji is, In fact, often referred to «s "'the Hawaii of the South.* The area of Vltl Leva is more than 4,000 square miles, and this island alone is thus half the slze-of the state of Massachusetts. It is more than 75 miles long and 50 broad and contain* a mountain range with peaks 4,000 to 6,000 feet high. It ts among the few Pacific Islands with a river 50 miles long, which |s navigable by small boats. Although Fl|l hi w£H within the r s Tropics, having a wrath latitude corref--* L sponding to the north latitude of Jama'ca> it has an unexpectedly temper Cv'-.'vjt; climate. This is due chiefly to ;£<" the considerable size of the islands s - and their mountains which intercept ^ the clouds and •wwl air currents and bring them to lower levels. Suva, the capital, situated on the largest Island, has its tennis and cricket addicts who play In comfort. Fiji is truly a "white man's land." The temperature seldom tops 00 degrees Fahrenheit or drops below 63. So pleasant Is It most of the year that lightweight, white clothing has not the vogoe that It has elsewhere la the Tropics, and garments like those worn in America and Europe are to be seen at all sen sons. Ranks High In Healthfulnee*. ^ On the score of healthfulness Fiji stands particularly high. It is said to be the most healthful tropical land . 5 in the world. The rearing of children ' ' by Europeans, fraught with difficultie* in most other tropical lands, *1" causes no anxiety In Fiji. One surprise is the utter absence of malaria : in the Island*. Mosqtfttoes are present, but they do not transmit this and other diseases from whidb Europeans suffer in other tropiest! "lands When first well known to Europeans, in the late Eighteenth and early Nineteenth centuries, the Fljlans were the most blood-thirsty and savage cannibals in all the South Seas. Cannibalism was not only indulged in when enemies had been killed, these people actually slaughtered relatives and companions for meat They quickly came under missionary influence, however, and the entire native population became Christianised. The Fijian of today la mild-mannered, kindly and courteous. The natives are predominantly of Melaneslan stocks, that la of the dark, negroid, kinky-haired type of islanders. There has been, however, an admixture of Polynesian blood (like that of the Hawaiians and Marqu which has given the Fijian a •* physique and a handsomer appeal ,than those bt the full blood Melanes- . j jslans. The Fijians are particularly ra<*- Jv'V ^conscious, and although Europeans ^have been on the Islands for a century, and although East Indians have ade up a large part of the populaon for many years, there are praccally no balf-breeda. Many East Indians There. So large is the Bast Indian popula- _£hn» that It waa thought a few years ^**o that the Islands would eventually ,t * virtually a colony of India.

Tbejr. were p.-, V»fS , I brought in on the "Indenture'* system, binding themselves to work for five years. After the indenture period, thousands settled in the islands to tfrow cane or. rice on their own account, or to trade among the natives. The indenture system was abolished la 1920 and as a result the sugar industry seems doomed. The government is encouraging the growth of rubber trees, cotton, and rice. Coconuts have been second only to sugar la importance. Thousands of tons of the dried kernels, known «s ""copra," are exported annually. Most of the valleys and hills and mountains of FIJI are blanketed with luxuriant vegetation. As in Hawaii, however, the lee sides of the islands have fewer trees and are covered with long grass. Only the fringe of the Islands and the river valleys have been developed. Roads are few, transportation depending chiefly on boats and launches. A surprising feature of the FIJis, especially to those who have thought of them as small Islands, are the many large, broad rivers. The Rewa river near Sovti is navigable for SO miles. Suva Is to the South Pacific much what Honolulu is to the north. It ts the chief cable station of the Canada- Australia cable and a regular port of call for mall steamers from Vancouver to Sydfley. Suva is also within easy reach of New Zealand and Australia and has weekly steamers to and from these dominions Suva Is Quite Up to Date. It Is Tan attractive little tropical city on a good harbor approximately' two miles square. The chief business street of substantial concrete buildings extends along the water front, and the residential sections climb the slopes behind. Practically all the dwellings are bnngalowa, white or cream colored, and usually with red roofs. Every bungalow has Its broad verandas on at least two sides, and in many cases they extend completely around the house. The veranda, paradoxically, is the heart of the Suvan household. In spite of its remoteness, Sara can tarnish many of the eonfforts to which Europeans and Americana are used. It has a waterworks, electric lights, and telephones. There are no street cars, but motor cars may be hired for drives around the town and into the nearby country. Viti Lorn has only a limited mileage of motor roadways, however. Like most South Sea capitals, Suva la cosmopolitan. If one stands on the Victoria Parade of an afternoon the passing show speaks of many lands. There are the young Fljlans in "store" clothes, their shocks of bleached hair standing out from their heads. Behind them are Indian coolies and traders with their women. The latter are dressed colorfully and Jingle with their heavy necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Scattered in the passing groups are people of other Pacific lands: Solomon Islanders, Samoans, New Caledonians. Conspicuous, of coarse, are the Europeans, the men usually in spotless white. In passing automobiles are the women of the .European colony. Helped by th* Panama Canal. 'The opening of the Panama was helpful to the Fiji islands. Before, the islands were as far off the world trade routes as Robinson Crusoe's Isle. Since ships began moving through the canal Fiji is on the traveled path between England and her Important possessions, Australia and New Zealand. Ships having given FIJI a reason for commercial existence, the islands have striven gallantly to produce not only augur cane aad copra, bnt also coffee, -cotton, rubber and cattle. The odds a*e against piji in two respects: saflw philosophy insists that life Is made for txm «n$ frolic and the wan*4replcs conspire to produce pests as generously as plants. In the tifcples, It is said, there Is no ointment without its fly; sugar cane had its labor shortage, the banana its borer, coffee its leaf disease, cotton the capricious American market, and cocoaats th* hurricane. la spite of these obstacles PUTS exports roes from *5,000,000 la 1919, *18,000,000 la IsptrinM His Oily Teacher One of the hardest, if not ^jbte things to do Is to convince a aim wants to run far oOea Oat he be . •Ai: ••(•rMUtiM Pays < <*• Swedish lumber ranpaftflM cnt timber from a forest tract for almost three centuries, and by reforestation has kept the tract ustXMfe laaately it* original state. HE grayish little town of Delia lay scattered off both sides of a railroad track. If you glimpsed It at all, you caught sight of It from the window of your coach because not more than two or three trains a day stopped at the small thatched station of Delia, with its small waiting room of pot-bellied stove, tin water cooler and composite tlcket-baggage-and-telegraph agent Two thousand souls resided in Delia. One the south side of the tracks, which was probably the least desirable -"rom the realty value point of view, Mr. and Mrs. Isaiah Moore conducted a grocery store. It was an; old-faehloned green grocer's establishment with a porch roof, reaching like an awning over the wooden sidewalk, supported by wooden props for pillars. Ther? were three Inverted barrels Standing outside the Moore grocery #fctore for loiterers; probably the only three such barrels In the state. Mr. and Mrs. Moore Uvqj! In a twostory frame house one block removed from this place of business. It was a typical frame house; six box-like rooms, no modern improvements, r. truck garden in the side yard, a picket fence closing It In from the wooden sidewutk, a pump with a tin dipper dnngliKg, a woodshed which contained a dilapidated flivver, used chiefly for grocery deliveries, a dog house, a summer kitchen and some beautiful old plane and maple trees. Mrs. Moore, who divided her days In the grocery store with her husband, did not have a great deal of time for housekeeping; but Just the same her spring crocuses and summer roses and late dahlias could vie with the best In Delia. So could the primness of the Interior of her little frame house. Spick, span, rigid, filled with the cold Smell of matting, horse-hair covered furniture and unalred front parlor. Bat the Moo res had a dream.* It had begun back in the days when young Isaiah Moore, evenings off from hig father's grocery store, had wooed the pretty Abby Ross In the stiff front parlor of Her father's house in Delia. Even back there, Isaiah was full of the dream of the "wide-open spaces." Every pre-nuptial plan of theirs, even that which had to do with the Immediate reality of Moore's grocery store and taking up residence in the little frame house in which they were to live for a subsequent thirty years, was tinged with that sunny vision of the remote "wide-open spaces." Of course, the usual happened. Quick tides of life caught up Abby and Isaiah afld carried them along to a destiny not planned by themselves. A year after their marriage, the father of Isniah died, leaving him the somewhat doubtful legacy of the debt-encumbered grocery store. The next year, Abby's twins were born, to die five years later In a local epidemic. It Is probable that, more than anything that had ever happened to them, this unseemly catastrophe frustrated the ambition of Abby and Isaiah, or at least inhibited it for the period of th* next five or ten years. The Moo res found themselves clutched by circumstance, restrained by routine, saddened by calamity. And so during the years that this erstwhile vision of the "wide-open spaces*' lay fallow, thirty springtimes swung around Into the little garden surrounding the frame house. Thirty winters, many of them bitter and cold, with thick layers of snow on the slat roofs and the runty cornfields of Delia; thirty autumns that minted Into gold and russet the fine old oak trees and plane trees and maple tree* that lined the leisurely streets of Delia; thirty summers that warmed Abby's roses Into life and kept the three barrels In front of Moore's grocery store crowded with loiterer*. Intense seasons, all of them, filled with too much rain or too much snow or too much heat or too much wind The hard, chapped face of Isaiah Moore, when he came out of the groery store to survey a snow scape, or to watch the blasting heat dance across the cornfields of the outlying country, automatically, even after thirty years, turned to the west. There was something almost fanatical In his craving for the milder, sunkissed "open spaces." He yearned"for the relaxation of kindlier climates, for the gandeur of mountains and the bril llant and cozy security of the far i famed bungalows of the western coast. So did Abby. When sleet beat against the little wooden box of the bouse they called home, when Icy winds roared in through the windows, or spring rains tapped dainty fingers along the sills, Abby was given to taking out the great box of travel folders, peal estate prospectuses and maps that Isaiah kept tucked on * closet shelf, to pore over them.' There was one picture of a bungalow colony on a sunny coast A row of adorable-looking Spanish houses, drenched in sunlight, backed In mountain tops and surrounded by gardens that took your breath away. As they grew older, and a little more tired, this old dream of the Moor** began to resuscitate Itself. They sat together on wintry evenings aad planned their sunny, flowery future. Old man Isaiah climbed into his topcoat, wound his eart In a large woolen muffler and talked of perpetual summers. The townspeople, the friends, the loiterers and the cronies began to shake sad heads over these two obsessed old people. "Get out or shut op," they said, among themselves concerning them. To their own surprise, as much as anyone else's, the Moores did the former. The opportunity presented Itself to sell out the grocery store to the first chain store venture that had come to Delia. All In a fortnight it happened. the opportunity, the sale, the departure. Two bewildered and happy old people, with cash in their pockets, stepped off a train into the riotous brilliance of a southern clime. "They've been too active all their lives. They'll • get tired of loafing," had been the prediction of their cronies; The Moores knew better. The dreaif. within their grasp was too incredibly good to be true. For the first months of setting up their household goods in one of Jhe pale-pink Spanish bungalows, surrounded by eolor and backed by mountain, the unreality of their happiness had been the only flaw in the ointment. It was Impossible to wake up and quite believe yourself lying out In this cradle of botanical beauty. The old pair pottered about two-thirds of the day in their brilliant garden, walked about the wide streets of their little community, or sat gazing upon the rhinoceros-like hide of the towering mountain so easily within their view. The sun heat ceaselessly; winds were warm and drowsy; rain was so rare that you reckoned with It not at all. At the end of the first year a consciousness of this for the first time took concrete form in the mind of Abby. To her amazement she found herself hankering for the sweetness of the springlike tapping of rain on the window sills, or the solemn gray respite of a steady downpour that used to wash the landscape in mist. Abby found herself yearning for a day cold enough to wind a good old woolen scarf about her neck and scurry along •he road to keep the blood warm and aroing. And, to her surprise, when she explained this fact to Isaiah, he ad mitted to a longing that was older than Abby's for some of the sterner stuff of those sterner days back home. The Moores were sunshine-glutted; satiated with brightness; their eyes nched with the torrents of cerulean 'igbt that poured over their days There came the time when they conremplated the brilliant fury of each noonday with a certain antagonism to the relentless consistency of the sun. The geometry of the new wide streets, 'he pink imitation Spanish bungalows, the narrow shade of the eucalyptus trees and the treeless flank of moun tain began to pall on eyes accustomed to a fluctuating climate and geography of their own state. A new dream began to form In the Moores. After all, they were too young to withdraw from life in this tedloiy fashion. The idea of going hack into the grocery business was pretty firm n Isaiah's old mind. The site they finally chose as the scene of the new enterpiia* a town called Delia. MURDER TOTALS ARE INCREASING IN IL S. Austrian Invented Postcard? One of the facts of life not often wondered about is the penny postcard, says a dispatch from Vienna. People imagine the postcard as something more or less traditional--as tradition al, say, as a letter. But such Is not the case. The postcard was Invented only In the middle of the Nineteenth t-entury, and It took many years before governments permitted Its use with cheap postage. The Inventor, Emanuel Hermann, was an official of the Vienna post office; he died In 1902. He turned the Austrian civil service up side down by his demand for permission to send printed or written com municatlons without an envelope. His postcard was Introduced and spread Immediately all over the world,--De ttvlt New*. t ,1-:^"' • "1 1 • i1 >*ija, .

This is the castle made famous by "Sleeping Beauty," If legend is to be be lleved. It dates back to the Twelfth century and Its gray walls have seen many a battle waged. It might also be said to be three castles In one. grouped about an inner court, and each of the three has its own entry. It is full of the paraphernalia of dream-haunted rooms, heavy, ironhound chests, carved doors, old pew ter, massive refectory tables which surely have trembled beneath theii loads of venison, wine and the thun derous merriment of feastera.

New York.--Criminal violence In the United States Is still on the Increase. Figures gathered by William L. Chenery, editor of Collier's Weekly, show that the total number of homicides has gone up more than S3 per cent in 16 years. In 1012 the death rate due to homicide was 6.6 in every 100,000 of population. In 1928 the rate was 8J&, or exactly a third higher. "Criminal violence causes far more deaths today than fifteen years ago," says Mr. Chenery. "The increase is an evidence of an appalling breakdown In respect for the law. Laws More Drastic. "During these same 1ft years, laws hi this country generally have been made more drastic. The so-called Baumes laws of New York are typical. Penalties have been added to penalties. If furious severity had power to prevent crime we should have be<v>me a law-abiding people. "The truth Is that severe penalties seldom deter criminals from violence. The explanation Is that Juries and Judges will not Inflict punishment which seems too rigorous. Rather than apply the law they will liberate the prisoner. "The criminal does not fear uncertain punishment. If there Is a chance to escape paying for his crime, the potential criminal will gamble on getting away. In this country the chance* fhvor the criminal." In thirty-one large American cltie* 2,419 homicides were reported in 1929. The rate was 10.1, much higher than for the country as a whole. The increase In the number of homicides in the big cities between 1900 and 1929 was nearly fourfold, while the Increase In the rate for each 100,- 000 of population Increased from 5.1 to 10.1, almost double. New York reported 425 violent killings and Chicago 401 in 1929. Only Nine Pay Penalty. Yet In 1928, with 401 killings in New York City alone, the entire state of New York convicted only 118 killers and of these only 9 were executed. The experience of every country which has successfully controlled Its criminal problem shows that swiftness and certainty of punishment, rather than severity, actually deter potential criminals from crime. Vor many' years Great Britain has had a remarkable record In preventing crime. While 425 killings occurred In New York in 1920 and, In Chicago, 401, London had only 10. The British actually enforce capital punishment Sentimental pleas for mercy go unheeded. The murderer pays with his life for his crime If he challenges British Justice. * Boys Trapped More raw Three Hours in Quagmire Washington. -- Trapped for more than three hours in a quagmire near Boiling field, two small boys were rescued after they had sunk in the mud beyond their shoulders. Layne Loeffler, nine years old, aad Gas Law, eleven, with three young companions, had become entrapped In the bog while taking a short-cut across a lot where dredges have been throwing silt from the bottom of the river to provide an extension for Boiling field. They had been walking across the logs when one of the five fell in the mud. Laughing efforts at rescue followed, and soon all five were In the bog; Three of the boys were able to pull themselves to hard ground. Not realizing the seriousness of the situation, they laughed at the others until the two boys had sunk below their waists. Then, panic-stricken, they ran for aid. While they were summoning their parents and police, two men heard the boys' screams, threw tin and wood over the mud and pulled the boys out with an Improvised life line made from a belt SPBING PIIOVB N.
