Larger coastal cities and most of the population are found in the east, wh«re mountains rise oyer 7,000 feet. The central plains are tropical to the north, and on them sugar, cotton and cattle are raised. Sheep runs and wheatland spread to the south, where winters are mild and wet, summers are hot and dry. The western plateau, hilly along the coast, is an arid area supporting less than a 20th of the population. Coastal plains are fertile in the forested southeast and Southwest sections.

TURN THE PAGE AND 100KIT WHAT OUR DEPARTMENT STORE AO IS 0FFERJN6 YOU TO-DAY No FaTsritas: The long line waiting impatiently, during a heavy snow storm, in front of one of those chain tobacco stores, indicated unmistakably that cigarets were on sale. A ruddy-faced, smiling little man appeared and with an apology here tod there, was rapidly making his way to the head of the line when a belligerent box car gent grabbed him and announced that since they had been waiting for more than an hour, he'd have to get in line like anyone else. The mild man informed him that he wasn't there to purchase cigarets. "We've heard that line before," said the belligerent one giving the little man a shove. "But, I'm--" began the little f|llow. "Never mind, get on back," was the reply. And assisted by other waiters, the mild man took his piece at the end of the line. And he really wasn't after cigarets --he's the manager of the whole chain. •• •• • Revenge: It seems that managers of those chain stores have to work and quite often anidfevelbps belweiftths underling and the one whorls training him. The other day, a young woman came into a store and asked for cigarets. "Sorry," said the manager, "we haven't any now. But at that store, a block and a half do\QH the street, you can get them. They have a big stock there. Don't pay any attention to what the manager tells you--if you talk to him hard enough he'll come through." The young woman didn't have time to go to the store which was indicated. She leprned later it was just as well. The manager of the store down the street had once been the other man's boss and sending insistent cigaret customers to him was his way of evening old scores. • • • Error: Just one more cigaret bit before passing on to other matters. A miss who was making an investigation of under-the-counter sales, etc., while talking to the man in charge of a downtown store, picked up one of those dummy packages that are used as counter displays. As she was playing with' it idly, a big fellow rushed in and demanded cigarets. He was informed thSt none were on sale. With that he became very indignant. Throwing a quarter on the counter, he snarled,,. "Well, if you can sell cigarets to a girl,,you can sell them to me." Then, he grabbed the dummy package and rushed out. What his thoughts were when he discovered what he had purchased weren't made known to the im estigator since he did not return. '• " Manhattan After Dartrs Earl Wilson's "I Am Gazing into My 8-Ball," recently published by Doubleday, Doran, is the most revealing picture of Broadway night life I've yet encountered. It is really an introduction to a fascinating parade of characters, mostly from Broadway but with some Hollywood intruders and just a bit of Washington. Wilson writes in a style all his own, that is, without inhibitions, and thus the persons in his book seem to really live and breathe. It's all first hand Information since Earl, as "saloon editor" of the New York Evening Post, really gets around. He was born in Rockford, Ohio, and I cherish the inscription on the fly leaf of my copy of "I Am Gazing into My 8^3all." It reads: "To L. L. Stevenson and his bride--from one Buckeye to another--best wishes- Earl Wilson." • • • Help Wanted: A young woman who had business in Brooklyn, got off at the wrong subway station and stopped at a garage to ask how to get to an address she read from the newspaper she was carrying. "Thst place is a mile away," said the garage man, "but you don't need to go a step farther--there's a job waiting for you right here." It took the girl, who was engaged in a survey, quite a while to talk herself out of the place. When she returned to her office, she told her associates of her adventure and one asked why she hadn't inquired as to salary, etc. "I might have," she replied, "but whi;n I came in, he was calling down the janitoi because there had been no heat all last week and now theft' were no lights." • • • End Piece: Marina, Lillian Fox's seven-year-old niece, was allowed to stay up the other evening and listen to the adults talk, on condition she took no part in the conversation. Alter listening to a somewhat long discussiop pf the curfew, Marina, apparently no longer aWe .'to hold in, turned to her 12-yelir-old < brother and declared, "I think I grownups are very unpatriotic i complaining about the curfew^ We didn't make any fuss when they closed our school for a jveek, did we Peter?" , r Bell Syndicate.--WNU FcattiCM.
