This is certainly not the case off the west coast of South America. AVe crossed the 3quator at 4.;i0 in the afternoon and the temperature was 65 degrees From that time until we returned the temperature ranged between 55 and 68 degrees. This coolness is due to the Humboldt Current, which flows north fTom the Antarctic. Various stops were made dow.n the west coast .A.t Guayasuiel and Manta, ports in EcQador, numerous natives boarded the ship. In a twinkling our promenade deck was transformed into a street bazaar. Panama hats in great quantities, odd heads and buck !es carved from ivory nuts, r!an-'rous looking bows and arrows made al black wood and decorated with bits of tiger or snake skin and beads, stamps of the country, shoes, baskets and purses of panama grass, tiger skins, snake akins were offered, and last, but not least, a little honey bear and two cunning monkeys. Only the thought of another cold winter prevented a little white-headed monkey from mak- ing his home in Flesherton. To buy any of these articles one simply must barter and bargain. Panama hats can be bought there for less than one quarter the price asked in out large stores. We spent a morning at Talara, the company town of the International Petroleum Company, situated at the top of barren, yellowish cliffs, of which first appearances were not at all fav- orable. The 300 white people resid- at Talara seem to be very happy and are well taken care of by the Com- pany. Many of these are Canadians from Sarnia. The Company is also very good to its naitive employees. They live in clean, tidy houses which they are compelled to keep clean, as they are inspected «»ach week. After seeing the squalor and dirt of native quarters in other places, we could appreciate how much is being done for these people. Of course, there is no unemployment problem there and the depression seems very far away. The Canadians whom we met were all so friendly to us that betfore we left we felt that living in Talara might not be so bad after all. Proceeding down the west coast rt Peru we landed at Callao, the port ot Lima. It was the last day of a "Fiesta" and the harbor looked verj gay as each ship was flying countless flags. The Peruvian navy guarded the entrance to the harbor and to our intense delight a British cruiser, the "York," was riding at anchor near by. We left our ship, which went on to Chil«, v/hile we stayed six rays in Lima. â€" • We were driven in motor cars over excellent roads to a very modern hotel which was to be our home while there. Although Lima is in the Tropics (it is just as far south ot£' the equator as Central America is north) the clim- atic conditions are much different. This was a very greeit surprise to aH of us. There 'Wie we»-e wtth very few dark clothes, in Lima, during winter. Some of the Petnivians, whom we passed, were actually wearing fur coats! There is not. I believe, a very great Tariati'on in the tempera- ture at any time, but during the win- ter months â€" June, July and August â€" the sun seldom shhies and a damp mist blows in from the sea. Many Peruvians spend tkeee months at Chosica, a little town at the foot of the Andes. Here the sun :ihines brightly each day. Lima Has Oldest University The Spanish conquei"or3 foundeil' Lima in 1535. Until 1821 Peru was a Spanish colony, but in that year it gained its indepenuence. Lima has many interesting monuments of the olden days. Outstanding among them are the cathedral and the university, which is the oldest in the western world. Many of the homes of the old families contain the furniture and arti.stic treasures which have been handed down from generation to gen oration. One such old home, the Torre Tagle Palace, which today is used as a government office, has ex- ceptionally fine carving and tile work. Lima also has very beautiful avenues with boulevards of trees extending down the centre for many blocks. The parks are also well tended. The Spanish people are inveterate gamblers. During the winter they r.ctend the races every Sunday, while in summer the bull ring is the centre of interest. .â- \t every port of call we were beseiged on all sides by people trying to sell us lottery tick- ets. Even the tiniest children run around with strips of these tickets. 12,000 Feet Up The Andes One day we took an all-day train trip 12,000 feet up the Andes. This is one of the highest railways in the world. The train climbed up a cer- tain distance, when an engine was attached to the other end and away we went to a higher level. In this way we continued to climb until we reached Rio Blanco. Although we did not see any snow-capped peaks we found snow flakes lodging on our coat sleeves on August 2nd. Most of us had worn extra clothing that could be found, but as we had a private car our queer costumes were seen only by ourselves. One gentleman had taken his bath robe for extra warmth. The Andes at this point are entirely dif- ferent from the Rockies. Great bar- ren walls of yellowish rock rise almost straight from the ground. Only in the valley is there any growth. While the train stopped at one valley sta- tion Indian women came up selling beautiful nosegays of violets, carna- tions, roses, sweet peas and pansies. Never have I seen such flowers. Four bouquets were all one could carry and ten cents was the modest price asked. Tea On British Warship The most thrilling experience of the trip to Peru was an invaation U afternoon tea aboard xi^e eruiser York. The guests were m.«, ^t the pier by an officer in charge ol a launch which took us to the ship. At the top of the gangway stood ths Captain, shaking hands with each one of us. He was .supported by several officers, who stood at rigid attention. W'li were then escorted to the after deck, where lea was served while the 'York" band played dance tunes, and those wishing to do so danced. Just at sunset, which was magnifi*nt that night â€" the only time the sun shone while We were in Lima â€" we all stood at attention while the Royal Ensign A-as lowered a^d the clear notes of the bugle sounded "taps." Then along janie the pipers â€" piping the men off duty â€" a very old custom in the navy. Dancing continued until 8 o'clock and when the band played the National Anthem, it was the final touch to a wonderful party. Only once have I felt more British and that was when I saw the King and Queen. To be a Britisher on a British ship, so far from home, is a glorious experience which I will never forget. It might be of interest to mention the cargo carried by our ship. On the south-bound trip food stuffs, auto- mobiles, airplanes and railroad ties comprised our cargo. On the north- bound trip we brought back copper from Chile, cotton and coffee from Peru, coffee, ivory, nuts and Panama hats from Ecuador and large quanti- ties of coffee from Colombia. BOOZE FOR BIRDS Hamilton is threatened with an un- precedented wave of drunkenness and aurthority for the assertion is Street Commissioner James Weedon. Com- missioner Weedon is occupied with a plan to eliminate numerous pigeons which are considered a menace to the cleanliness of the city. The birds may not be shot in the city limits so this is what the Commissioner pro- poses: Soak wheat or other grain in whiskey and feed it to the pigeons. Ilf the plot works the pigeons should get drunk as boiled owls and fall down. The extermination forces then would have to do no more than scoop them up in baskets. A somewhat similar plan is suggested for the con- trol of the starling pest. Booze is bad for birds, though it often produces jail-birds.
