PANAMA HOP GIVES GORGEOUS VIEW OFJUNGLE Sun Rises Over Pacific and Sets in Atlantic in Canal Zone. This it onr of a oerlef of articles hr obn O. Mon from cry, newspaper man. on bis fllrht around Central and South America. It takes him from San Salvador to Cristobal. BY JOHN D. MONTGOMERY San Salvador Is a division pom. lor the Pan-American Planes from Brownsville, Tex., Havana, Guatemala City and Panama meet there for the night. Employes are housed In a home of their own. They enjoy Ameriran cooking and beds. San Salvador's major crop Is coffee. Traffic policemen carry pistols and flashlights as regular equipment. The police direct traffic with wo flashlights, one red and one green. There are practically no street lights. Bullocks hauling loaded twowheeled carts, women with bundles on their heads and nearly nude children, playing in the streets with yo-yo tops are a few vivid impressions of its street life. Restless Among Volcanoes The next morning we took off in a big tri-motored plane and dropped down on the Managua, Nicaragua landing field, in three hours. It takes eight hours by the Isthmus of Panama. Managua is nestled among smoky volcanoes and is the capital of that turbulent republic Nicaragua. American marines strolled through the .streets. Sandino is one of the most popular heroes among the natives. Business interests of Managua are glad that American marines are itill on the job. Shopkeepers say that the marines are their biggest industry. The city has paved streets of a kind, but nothing to brag about. The next stop was to be Cristobal, Panama. The tri-motored plane in which I made the flight was well filled with American traveling salesmen and local business men. In Jungle Fastness We stopped to refued at a little village called Puntarenas in Costa Rica. While the plane was refueled T walked around the landing field. There was nothing but rank jungle on all sides. The mountainous jungle from Puntarenas to David, Panama, was most interesting. It didn’t look very inviting for a forced landing, however. The pilot told me that there were emergency landing flelds along the route, but I failed to see them. But we didn’t need any emergency fields and landed at David field safely. We stopped for only twenty minutes. Then headed for Panama City. Trip Through Driving Rain This part of the trip was made t hrough a driving tropical rain. When we were over Panama City it was impossible to see the town because of the heavy storm. The stop at Panama City was just long enough to unload passengers and we were In the air again for the last leg of our day’s flight. We flew at 1.500 feet. Saw the sunrise on the Pacific and the sunset on the Atlantic. , Must be something wrong? Tut no. the Atlantic side of the Panama canal is west of the Pacific side! It took us twenty-five minutes to fly from Panama City to Cristobal. In no time w e were in a taxi bound for the Washington hotel.

BLAZE CAUSES $25,000 LOSS Fear for Hospital's Safety During Fire. Fire, perhaps of incendiary origin, that swept a five-story building at 216-18 Osage street Saturday night, broke out again this morning from smoldering ruins, but was extinguished quickly. Loss was placed at $25,000. The building was occupied by the F-K Auto Trunk Company, and is owned by Mrs. H. H. Wheeler. The loss is covered partially by insurance. Origin of the fire in the elevator shaft on the first floor, where a draft swept it upward, led fire officials to begin investigation to determine whether it had not been set by a firebug operating in that neighborhood recently. Apprehensive Saturday lest the flames might communicate to nearby buildings and spread beyond control of firemen to the Indiana Christian hospital, less than a block away, measures were taken to move all patients if danger threatened.
