depai w chapel o “God help Honduras if American enterprises are ever withdrawn.” declared Dr. T. G. Yuncker, head of the •cienee division at DePauw in a chap-, el address Monday. Dr. Yuncker spent two months this last summer on a botanical trip in this Central American state. ‘We hoar so much of American Imperialism in Latin America.” he said, •but as tar as Honduran is concerned, then' is another side to the story. American fruit companies have taken an uninhabitable jungle and from it is furnishing about 65 percent of the income to that state and providing work for nearly 20,000 natives in a country where there is little or no employment outside of politics. "The land that is being used was considered worthless before taken up by Americans for fruit plantations, principally bananas, and would revert to jungle if American enterprises were withdrawn. The United States furnishes 80 percent of the imports to Honduras and takes 95 percent of the exports. Millions of dollars are spent annually in this country. “Native labor receives as high as $2.00 a day from the American fruit companies but only 30 cents a day fidiu local enterprises and very little work to lie had at that wage. All the railroads except one short road of thirty or- forty miles in length, arc built, operated, and owned by the American fruit companies for getting their products to shipping jroints. Roads are impassable in wet season and in many parts the country is as primitive as it was when discovered by the Spaniards. Natives live in thatched huts and use oxen carts. Their principal diet is cor n and beans which tlrey cultivate themselves. “Graft is quite common and revolutionary parties always have one piank in their platform: The eviction of the American. Yet, on coming into power, the leaders wisely covet the 65 percent of the state's income which the American pays and does nothing. The average Amet ican knows little or nothing of his Latin-American neighbor. The average Latin-Ameri-can knows and cares even less about the United States. Most of their impressior.n come from witnessing American movies,” he said.

BUFFALO BILL’S JOB ONCE OFFERED TO FAMED TEDDY NEW HAVEN, Conn., 'UP'—The death of James McGee, better known as Prof. Jim Atlas, former circus strong man, recalled mony interesting incidents of his rareer.

Roosevelt was nearing the end of his term and Cody was about to retire. “Col. Roosevelt is the man for the ; rb. 1 Atlas told Frederick Bailey Hutchinson, nephew of the famous cir-mrs man. “He’s getting through as president and going to Africa to hoot lions. When he comes back put him on a big white horse and let him introduce the Congress of Rough Riders to the world.” ' Fine,” replied Hutchinson enthusiastically. “hut who will get him?” "I will,” said Atlas. While he never got to see the president personally, he managed to get Roosevelt on tire telephone and outlined the offer. The president was amused and po litely declined. When airplanes first attracted attention. Atlas hacked Frank Paine, a < haufferrr, to fly one of the "eontrap t rons at Seaside Park. Bridgeport. A crowd of 30.000 aaw Paine land the plane in a tree.

Rehabilitation of those persons is one of the most important features of the relief program living carried on throughout Indiana and in other states. Practically all these people are looking to this program as a means of getting a new start in their effort to regain their former economic positions. Indiana's rehabilitation plan is moving along rapidly and i . doings great service for the distressed rural residents of the state.
