Quito, Ancient Capital of Incas, Is City .of Churches Set High in, Andes Amidst Scenic Splendor.

UITO, Ecuador, Nov. 3.—Quito was one of the two capitals of the great Incas which had such a high type of civilization when the Spaniards found and conquered them 400 years ago. The other capital was

Cuzco, far to the south, in Peru. There is almost nothing of:the old Inca left in Quito. But there is plenty of the early Spanish. For the conquering Spaniards did indeed lavish them-

selves on this city set high in a beautiful cup on top of the Andes. Quito is today, ‘they say, the best example of the SpanishColonial architecture in South America. Great churches dominate. There are 56 in the city. I am not very good at sightseeing around ancient cathedrals. But in Quito I took a peek into a cathedral—and there, almost taking your breath away, was an immense domed room, its walls covered solidly with gold. I've seen plenty of gold, but never before have I : ever seen gold used practically like wallpaper. Churches and convents cover whole square blocks right in the heart of Quito. In them are paintings and carvings from old Italy and Spain— a pieces by the hundreds that are absolutely priceess.

Mr. Pyle

As in Quebec, the church bells set up a din cov- |-

ering the whole city. But unlike Quebec, the church bells of Quito are brash and toneless. They wake you very early. Quito is clean, has streetcars and bus lines and lots of autos. The marvel to me is that it could be so modern when actually it was opened to the world only 30 years ago. Until the railroad came through, everything had to be brought up here by muleback—pianos, pictures, hardware, all came 300 miles into the high mountains on the backs of thousands of burros. Quito hasn’t taken its modernism with a great deal of grace. They don’t drive their autos here, they just honk their way along. This ancient city of culture is an utter bedlam of screeching horns. But Quito can give you little memories that you will cherish. One night I awakened about 2 a. m. The city was as quiet as the grave. And then, far away, I heard a weird, small whistle. Then came another, nearer. And another, still nearer. And then one real close. And then half a dozen more, each getting farther away again, until there was no whistle. : Those were the policemen of Quito. It is their method of signaling to each other that everything is all right. They do it about every 15 minutes late at night.

A Little Inca Shepherd

Once we drove to the top of the high hill at the south edge of Quito. The road is twisty, washed-out and little used. i You look down upon a flat, white city of 125,000 people; a compact, pushed-together city, filling the whole width of a green valley; mountains rising on each side; far away, if the day is clear, snow-capped peaks that are great volcanoes. - We stood alone on top of the grass-covered hill, looking down a thousand feet upon the world. Just grass, and a few eucalyptus trees, and us up there. It is a little interval that will stay with me always. Peaceful, vast, silent, high up and far away. Suddenly a little voice was saying “Buerbs dias,” and with a start we turned and saw a little girl, surely not more than 5, dressed in ragged black. In front of her were a dozen sheep, which had grazed silently up over the hillside. Their legs were tied together with string, so they could not stray far. They hobbled leisurely.on, after a few bites of grass. The child kept with them, but did not take her eyes from us. We smiled. Her expression of pure friendly wonder did not change. She did not smile back. But as she went on with her sheep, she said again “Buenos dias,” graciously, and with her finger in her mouth. A little Inca shepherd of the Andes.

My Diary

By Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt

She Helps Girl Scouts Launch Drive; Admires Picture of Mrs. Hoover.

N ROUTE TO SEATTLE, Wednesday.—I said yesterday that I wanted to tell you more about the Girl Scouts. I find that I know so little about the variety of work which they are doing and I am so pleased whenever I see the evidences of their good training, that I feel I must tell more people about them. Yesterday, the girls had on new uniforms which are not only good-looking but so comfortable that it is hoped they will want to wear them more of the time. They met me down in the lobby with smiling faces, even though I had kept them waiting a long time. The girl who sold me the cookies, made her little speech unperturbed by flashing cameras. In the board room there was a most lovely portrait of Mrs. Herbert Hoover. I wish so much that a similar one was hanging now in the White House in Washington. It seems to be impossible to acquire one. I would understand this quite easily if she had never been painted and had the same feeling that I have about artistic efforts to preserve a set of features which might better be forgotten. However, when one is a good subject and can be well painted, it seems sad not to join the gallery of Presidents’ wives and look smilingly down upon the innumerable visitors who flow so endlessly through the White House.. I don’t suppose the Girl Scouts would give up their portrait, but I wish they would. I listened in awe and admiration when I was told the Girl Scout organization is now 93 per cent self-supporting. Thatmeans good business management and energy and vigilance which never flags. I certainly admire those who are doing the active work in connection with this organization. x

En Route to Seattle

When you are not accustomed to New York City, do you find that a day running around, in and out of shops, is exciting but rather wearing? One amusing incident occurred yesterday. I went into a very small store on Seventh Ave. thinking no one was paying any attention to me, and suddenly turned around to find a large crowd waiting for me outside the door. They were very polite and did not try

quietly and waited until I came out, and then parted to let me get back to my brother's car which was awaiting me. Such an amount of interest is rarely evidenced in New York City, where I think to most pecple I am plain Eleanor Roosevelt and not thought of as the President’s wife.

Tomorrow there will appear the statements of Us"

this year’s ballot, the ComParty and Socialist-Labor

Senator Frederick VanNuys, Democrat, and Raymond Willis, Republican, the candidates for the U, S. Senate.

CHARLES W. JEWETT

Republican, for 12th District Congressman

(Born in Franklin, Ind., the son of the Rev. Edward P. Jewett, a Methodist minister; educated in public schools, Franklin College and DePauw University, receiving A. B. degree from DePauw in 1907; received legal training at Harvard Law School; in 1914 was elected chairman of the Marion County Republican Central Committee, a position he held until 1918; elected Mayor of Indianapolis in 1917 and served until January, 1922; Fire Department was motorized during his administration; originated and pioneered the World War Memorial Plaza; now a practicing attorney.)

N the first place, when I become a member of Congress on Jan. 1, 1939, I will not be a ‘“rubberstamp yes-man.” I will not vote “Yes” and then argue against my vote for “home consumption.” Twenty thousand telegrams will never be necessary to induce me to fight for and vote for the

preservation of our Constitution, the integrity of the Supreme Court, and the maintenance of the absolute independence of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our well-balanced national government. I will fight and vote to preserve the American business system of free competitive enterprise. I will support and vote for laws to correct evils which have been disclosed in our economic structure to the end that business will be healthier and able to employ men and produce national wealth. But I will never vote to weaken or destroy legitimate American industry, which is the only employer that can put idle workers back at work in permanent jobs. I will \.vote to take from the President the emergency powers which he demanded and received in the crisis of 1933 and restore them where they belong, in Congress. I will vote to restore relief to the states, to be administered by nonpartisan local boards, with the aid of Federal money grants. I will vote to amend the Wagner Act to give equal rights and protection to both employee and employer. I am for the Social Security Act and will vote to strengthen its provisions. I am opposed to collecting more from the wage earners than is necessary to meet payments as they become payable. I am opposed to placing these wage earners’ savings in the general fund to be spent for general purposes as is now being done. I am opposed to the deception of imposing an income tax on wages and leading the wage earner to believe his money is creating an insurance annuity for old age, when his money is being spent for the general expenses of the government. I am opposed to lump sum appropriations to be spent as the President wills and directs. I am for specific appropriations. I am opposed to any reorganization bill which gives to the President sufficient power to unbalance the three aistincu, branches ~f government. I favor the continuance of the Civil Service Commission. I will vote to place all Federal em-

ployees, except policy. making bodies; under civil service. I am opposed tp a third term for any President. I am cpposed to opening the American markets up to foreign cheap labor in competition with American labor, by reducing our tariff rates below the cost of production. I am for a minimum wage and maximum hours law. But I am opposed to giving to an adminis-

trative board such broad discre-

tionary powers that eventually would destroy labor organizations and subdue business to executive control, and direction, such as the NRA and AAA sought to do. I will vote to take the Government completely out of business in competition with private business.

I favor every reform that is just, equitable and in the public interest. But I believe such reforms as are necessary can be accomplished by laws carrying penalties, within the framework of our Constitution.

The big problem now is recovery. This can come only when business knows it has a secure basis upon which to go forward. When business is relieved of fear and uncertainty; when the dollar is permanently stabilized; when an open policy of foreign trade is established; when the unbearable tax burden is relieved, industry will open up and the 11,000,000 idle men will find permanent work in the factories, shops and mines of the country. -

LOUIS LUDLOW

Democrat, for 12th District Congressman

(Born in a log cabin in Fayette County; came to Indianapolis in 1892 at age of 18 and became reporter on The Indianapolis Sun; became Washington correspondent for The Indianapolis Sentinel in 1901; organized newspaper bureau and was correspondent for 14 newspapers when elected to Congress in 1928; former president, National Press Club; author of five books, “From Cornfield to Press Gallery,” “In the Heart of Hoosierland,” “Senator Solomon Spiffledink,” “America Go Bust,” and “Hell or Heaven”; author of proposed Constitutional referendum on foreign war; Methodist, member Society of Indiana Pioneers and Indiana Democratic Club; married, four children.)

ANY years ago Samuel E. Morss, editor of The Indianapolis Sentinel, had a bit of advice for candidates and it was this: “Toot your own horn, or the same will not be tcoted.” I am not much given to horntooting. When a candidate has a record of service in office the voters should examine that record and be governed by it. If it is a good record, if he has been a faithful and true public servant, it is only elemental justice that his record should be approved by the people at the polls. I have a record as the Representative of this great district in the Congress of the United States. There it stands. I could not change it if I would and I would not change it if I could. I believe it reflects honesty and sincerity and constructive achievement for the district and for the nation. I believe that my efforts to assist in keeping this country out of war

have not been in vain but have helped to chart our national course in pathways of peace. I believe the committee station I have attained through seniority and service at the top of the great Appropriations Committee will be of material advantage to this district in the future, as it has been in the past. . Over the door of my office in Washington is a little motto which

epitomizes, I think, the philosophy that should govern those elected to serve the people. It is this: “We can do nothing better, we can do nothing finer, we can. do nothing grander, than to help our fellow mortals over the rough places of life.” - No one ever comes to me for help in any worthy cause, whatever may be his politics, religion or color, without being assured in

advance that I will do the best I can for him. No sacrifice would be too great for me to make for this city of my boyhood struggles; the city of a thousand endearing memories; the city that was kind to me “when a feller needed a friend.” In that spirit and in that purpose I ask you, citizens of the 12th District, to commission me again to carry on.

African Colonists Fear Hitler's Next Move Will Be in Their Direction

By Milton Bronner

NEA Staff Correspondent

ONDON, Nov. 3—Having watched the acquisitive hand of Germany scrabble over the face of Europe, and come up clutching Austria and Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, British colonies in Africa fear that the next sweep of Hitler's threatening fist may be in their direction.

On the Sudetenland settlement, :

the Fuehrer said it would be his last territorial demand “in Europe.” Well, where does he go from there? Britons in Africa fear they know the answer. And Chancellor Hitler's recently reported demand, in preliminary

-inegotiations for a Franco-German

accord, for the unconditional return by France of the former German colonies of Togoland and the Cameroons, is only one basis of their fear. This matter of colonies is the only outstanding question upon which Hitler has varied from the platform laid down in his book, “Mein Kampf.” In that volume he made rather light of colonies and boldly said he was more interested in getting rich European territory contiguous to the present Germany. But men like Gen. Franz Ritter von Epp and others close to him have made him change his mind. Now he wants colonies: : 1. Because they were taken from Germany by “duress” in the Treaty of Versailles. 2. Because when England, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Portugal all have considerable colonial empires, it is ‘derogatory to Germany’s honor” not to have part of the white man’s burden. 3. Because he is confident Germany could so develop her former colonies as to supply many of the home needs. 2 ” ”

ITLER is not claiming the Pacific islands which mainly went to Japan. He may not even bother greatly about Togoland and Cameroons, in northern - Africa. What he has in mind is former German East Africa for which England holds the mandate and former German Southwest Africa, for which the Union of South Africa nolds the mandate. German East Africa, now called Tanganyika, is a territory the

English would be loathe to give up. It was the last link of Cecil Rhodes’ dream of an all-British route from the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt. It makes possible some day an allEnglish railway from South to North Africa. It is an important stopping place for the Imperial Airways planes which fly from England to South Africa. In Dar es Salaam and other ports it has havens, which, if in German hands, might some day prove dangerous to British shipping. German submarines, operating from those ports, could harry British ships going from the Suez Canal and Red Sea en route to India, the Far East and Australia: % ” E ” ITH 9000 Germans out of a white population of 30,000 persons of European ancestry, the former German colony of Southwest Africa is seen by the Nazis as fertile ground for the Hitlerian policy of “peaceful penetration” by propaganda and legal capture of government influence.

This was the policy pursued in gaining mastery over Germany,

and later, Austria and the Sudeten-|

land. ; Back in 1920 Southwest Africa was mandated to the Union of South Africa. The territory was ruled by an Administrator and Advisory Council, in which both the South African Union and German elements were represented. In 1922 the Southwest Africans asked for some form of self-govern-ment. The Union of South Africa was willing, but felt that the Germans should become naturalized subjects of the Union of South Africa. Gen. Jan Smuts, then Premier of South Africa, in London arranged with representatives of the German government to influence the Germans to accepi. Accordingly, in 1924, the law was passed automatically extending naturalization to all Germans who had lived in the territory before Jan. 1, 1924. A self-government act was passed and from then on German elements had a direct hand in the governing of this former Reich colony. It was about that time, too, that the government began to have trouble with its German citizens. They became infected with the Nazi fever. They formed a regular Nazi

organization, uniforms and. all They began an anti-Semitic boycott. They demanded that German be made one of the official languages of the territory along with English and Boer Dutch. In July, 1933, authorized Nazi agents, armed with written powers and with funds, came to Southwest Africa for the Nazification of all Germans in the territory. Those who were reluctant were dragooned into the Nazi net by threats of what would happen to their relatives and property—if any—back in Germany. They were also told: “Hitler is going to get this colony back from South Africa. When that happens, think what will happen to you if you are not a loyal Nazi.”

8 8 8

ATIENCE being exhausted, the -South" African police in July, 1934, raided the offices of the Nazi organization and the Hitler Jugend. An amazing collection of documents and letters was found.

Ritter Franz von Epp, close friend of Hitler, had written from Germany: “By naturalization Germans do not“lose their Germanism if they do not give themselves up for lost.” In February, 1934, a Nazi organizer in Hamburg sent out an order that ‘all holders of office in German organizations in the territory must take oath: : “I swear that I will bear unbreakable allegiance to Adolf Hitler and yield unconditional] obedience to leaders appointed by him over me.” In April, 1937, the long-suffering government of the territory took swift action. It made it an offense for any person, not a British subject, to become a member or oificer of any public body, to address such body or become a member or officer of a political organization. But the recent European war scare, culminating in the Munich “settlement,” acted as a shot in the arm to pro-Nazi elements in Southwest “Africa. Agitation increased, and Dr. the Honorable David G. Cornradie, Union of South Africa Administrator for Spams Africa, received petitions asking him to convene the Legislative. Assembly to voie whether or not a plebiscite should be held un the return of the former colony to Germany.

Our Town

By Anton Scherrer

lt Seems There Were Two Schools of Thought on Kraut Making and One Definitely Did Not Use Apples.

NUMBER, of gourmets, Walter Bonns among them, have scourged me unmers cifully for omitting the apples when I told about the way we used to make sauerkraut at home. Mr. Bonns, who carries a Milwau-kee-schooled palate around with him, says his folks always mixed 24 apples, the tartest they could find, with the 15 heads of cabbages. A strata of sauerkraut, says Mr. Bonns, doesn’t end with four

quarts of cut cabbage and a fourth L of a cup of salt as I would have people believe, but includes a cup-

| ful of chopped apples, too. Curious-

ly enough (or maybe not at all) all my critics wind up with the same admonition, namely that I don’t know what sauerkraut is if I was brought up on the kind I described. Well, now that Mr. Bonns has brought up the subject of the chopped apples, allow me to say, as. objectively as possible, that we had two schools of thought on the South Side—the one consisting of people who made sauerkraut the way I described it, and the other consisting of natives of the pumpernickel district of North Germany who made it the Bonns way. ; We made sauerkraut our way because Father wouldn’t have anything to do with the other way. Father said people who mix apples with their sauer= kraut couldn't be trusted because invariably they turned out to be the same people who mix sugar with their salad dressings. He, for one, wouldn't have anything to do with such perverted tastes, he said. He said the smell of apples contaminated sauer= kraut. Why, I even remember that when the crock containing the sauerkraut was put in the cellar, the barrel of apples was moved into the attic in order to get the two as far apart as possible. I don’t know whether it was Mother's fondness for pumpernickel or whether some blood strain on her side of the family had its root in the Westphalian district of Germany, but I always had a sneaking sus~ picion that Mother sided with the people who mixed apples with their sauerkraut, if that is any consolation to Mr. Bonns.

And Father Never Knew

At any rate, I distinctly recall that when it came time to prepare the sauerkraut for the table, Mother always put two or three sliced sour apples in the boil« ing water with the kraut. Of course, without telling Father a word about it. I remember, too, that she used to heat some lard or goose grease with flour and pour it over the kraut when the cabbage and apples had acquired a certain softness. That used to be the way everybody of our school of thought prepared sauerkraut until the Julius Keller family blew into town from the Danube district of Germany. ; : Mrs. Keller added a glass of white wine when the cabbage and apples got soft enough to absorb it, and in no time at all everybody in Indianapolis was doing the same thing. For some reason, it made the dish a little more exciting. Even Father thought so,

Escapes One Unhappy Situation, but Divorced Man Would Invite Another,

EAR JANE JORDAN—When I was 22 I married a 16-year-old girl. We lived together for 14 years and had three children. During our entire married life we never did get along for any length of time. We ; were separated at least three or four times and were

divorced last year. ’ Since then I have met an old sweetheart whom I used to love and love yet, but she is now married and . has a family. Do you think it is the proper thing for me to meet this lady at different places and have dates with her? She says I am the ohly man she ever did love truly and I do believe it. She says she simply can’t do without my company. The only reason for her living with her husband is for the support of herself and the two children as she

has no other means of getting along. Please guide me. WORRIED.

Answer—You have just escaped from one unhappy situation only to jump into another as if a peaceful life was no part of your plan. I am afraid that your loneliness and feeling of defeat have tricked you into making love to the first responsive woman you met, You would have done better to avoid temptation ine stead of welcoming it with open arms. ; I do not doubt that the woman is tired of her husband and prefers you, but she has two children to consider. In order to establish a life together you would have to disrupt another home and wreck the security of the children. The complications which en= sue after such an uprooting make happiness difficult to attain. ; At any rate there is no deep and lasting satisfac tion to be gained by meeting another man’s wife on the sly. Renunciation may be temporarily painful but people get over such things in time,

EAR JANE JORDAN-—I was married 13 years D ago and lived with my husband five months. I was deeply in love with him. One day he went away and never came back. We never had any trouble. He just had a roaming disposition and never was satisfied in one place for long. I was broken hearted for a long time. . After my divorce I went out with other men once in a while, but I never forgot my husband. Then I decided to interest myself in something and started by doing things for others to make them happy. I moved to another town to take care of three little children and am happier now than I ever was in my life. 'I met a young man a month ago. For:the firs} time in 13 years I am in love and he is in loye with me. Of course I haven't known him long, but I feel as if I had known him a long time. I do not want to be hasty in making a decision. Do you think I have & right to second happiness? ALICE.

Answer—Why not? Everything you have done points to the fact that you have earned the right to happiness. Instead of crying over spilled milk you found other interests and led a busy, useful life. If is inevitable that such a person should find a satisfactory life in time. It is the quitters and whiners who expect happiness to be handed to them by somebody else who got left. , JANE JORDAN.
