which caught my curious eye. wjvs "Thisiddo for cold employees.This side forsilver employees." Here was my first,introduction to tbo much vexed ques¬tion of Latin-American currency.

and sanitation. When one has drivenfpr mllC3 around the country and seenthe immense swamps, all drained oroiled, the hundreds of houses, wire-inclosed, and the entire absence oflittler or refuse of any kind, It becomesapparent that the transformation of thepest hole of the two Americas into ahealth resort is as great an achieve- jment as the building of the canal.The thrill of the first entrance into the <clant locks of Gatun, when the great <

REGION or CAPABLE ME\There Is a pretty steady stream ofjtravel homewards now, due to enlist-

meat In various branches of the armyservice, especially in the engineer corps,but in a camp whoso numbers reach upInto the thousands the vacancies aresoon filled. When it became necessaryto part with the Germans sometimeago, there were 350 of them to go atone time. The company allowed to eachthree months' pay «nd transportation toany part of the world.The best single feature of this camp,to my mind, is the hospital. This is In

charge of a very expert surgeon, whois a native of Canada, and severalnurses from the United States. This'institution is up to the best Americanstandards, has about seventy-five beds.and is an excellent object lesson In acountry like this, where the idea ofhealth preservation is limited, to savtho least.Chile, of all the republics of SouthAmerica, boasts the most stable gov-

ernment and the only one whi<~h hashad no revolution in the recollectionof the present generation. This issomething like tho earthquake situa¬tion for no one counts minor disturb¬ances or aught save those cataclysms, !where the entire population is laid out.Another proud claim of this "shoe-'string" country is that they have never!t.ren conquered as has been the fate of:otlirrs of tho continent. In their ro-cent war with I'eru, a whole regiment'of Peruvians rode off a great bluff andinto the sea rather than surrender to!Onle which would seem that other'people have some spirit, also.further down the coast there laPy. rainfall, and the eouthernnair of Chile Is green and very fruit¬ful. Wonderful tales reach us here ofthe farm lands and cattle ranches insouthern Chile, but, as travel is slowuncomfortable and frightfully expen¬sive, most of us will have to take iton faith. Another immense coppermine owned by the Guggonheims islocated at Rraden. not far from Santi¬ago. Not so large a camp as this, itis much older, and there is consider-nble intercourse between the twocamps. Many are tho visitors whor?ome to Chuquicamata to inspect themost unique copper mine in the worldand learn of the wisdom and exper¬ience of Its great engineers. One can-not cscapo the conclusion that "ourl.'nited States is not only wonderful athome, hut wherever her 6ons go theyblaze a trail of enlightenment and that'ort of efficiency which inspires thesept in others.jHEAT CONTRAST NOTICEABLE

BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIESThe greatest contrast of all Is that

between those of North and SouthVrncrica. Transportation, money sys-i*rn, schools, postal service, public.ealth. energy and pluck. It is worthvhilo to travel far and get this per-Ipective upon our own institutionsvhich we might otherwise take forgranted. Governmental stability, bestpressed through the people's conti-

lonce in their own laws and institu-ions. as well as in individuals. Is In>roeess of making in Latin America,.it her than an accomplished fact,'hile is a country of to-morrow. Herremendous mineral resources are only>oginning to bo tapped, and this laTactically all In the hands of for-igners. Republican In name, she istill more or less controlled by the few.^mrrican schools would be an Incal-.ulable benefit to the Chilean "roto?,"vho are pathotic-aJly Ignorant and In-lifTerent. Visiting nurses, such as welavo at home, would find an opportun-ty beyond their most ardent hopes of>ubllc service. Prohibition, really en-orced, would be the greatest blessing>f all. Nevertheless, Chile Is wideiwake. sending her youths to Europemd Amrrlca for technical training, andvith tho aid of Yankee Ingenuity,vhich she is sore to profit by in timo,;ho will develop her great natural re-sources herself and reap the rewardvhich at present she must nee divertedo other lands and peoples.

Tito address of our president, Mrs.J.

during the year in addition to the an¬nual meeting. Four of these weregeneral meetings, two were meetingsof the directory board and two weresupposed to bo meetings of tho boardof managers. As far as my memoryserves mo tho two latter were, turnedinto directory board meeting as thomen of our advisory board do notoften honor us with their presence.The called meeting on July 3 was todiscuss our liuancial situation.On February 5, tho 4th coining on

Mrs.n (?.:iy,or Ellyson and Mrs. Williamliunin Cox were the guests of honor

a reception given bvthe Washington branch of the Asso-ciation for the Preservation of Virginia!Antiquities on February 10.UNVEIL, TABLET IX

ANCIENT DWELLINGOn May 4, the Norfolk branch un¬veiled a. tablet on the house of Cap¬tain Adam Thoroughgood. built by hlinbetween 163J and 1640, believed to be:the oldest dwelling now standing in\ irginla. On October 25. tho Norfolk '

branch also unveiled a tablet in com-rnemoratIon of the visit of La Fayetteto Norfolk tr\ the yoar 18°4 .

In .Tune the Fredericksburg branchor the Association for the Preserve-Hon of Virginia Antiquities unveiledtwo tablets, the presentation addresson both occasions being mado by MrsKHyson. One of these was at thoMary Washington house and the otherat the Ulsliig Sun Tavern.The January bulletin of the Asso-'ciation for the Preservation of Never.npland Antiquities had a cut of theJohn Marshall house and a pleasantlittle notice of tllie method adopted'nfor preserving it.There was an interesting celebrationor the three hundred and tenth annl-

versary of the founding of Jamestown.with patriotic services In the historicchurch of St. Mark's, In the Boweryin .New -iorH City, and It was inter-fating to know that Jamestown hadreceived recognition for the first timeby public services in the North, out-side or the branches of the Associa-lion for tho Preseiwation of VirginiaAntiquities.our annual pilgrimage to James-

town, which was to have taken placeon May 13. had to bo abandoned atthe last minute because of a «trikeof tho engineers of the steamshipcompany. Every arrangement had beenmade and persons had come from adistance, who wero much disappointed.It was Impossible to have it beforeJune 23, and then It waa only savedfrom failure by our very efficient com¬mittee, who managed so well that wehad $30 r|»»ar after our expenses werepaid. That Is usimlly our largestsource of revenue for the year, and thepresident called a meeting In July todiscuss plan.-i for tiding us over thesummer. Quitf a number of womenresponded to her call, and it was de¬cided that If necessary to do so weHhouhl burrow from otir endowment,fund rather than from an outsidesourer. At the same meeting the

treasurer reported having Invested 550(1of our endowment fund in a Libertyloan bond. l>ater in tho summer thesum of |150 was received from theRichmond Bar Association, which pay*In full their pledge of $500 for themaintenance of the John Marshallhouse. Also $125 was received fromthe Ohio Staet Hot Association, leav¬ing a similar amount still duo on tlieirpledgo of |500.COM-'USIO.V AS TO AAMK

OK NKW NAVAL BASEThe newspapers having continuallyapplied the name of Jamostown to thonew naval base, thereby creatine con¬fusion in the. mindn of many people.It was resolved to write to tho Sec¬retary of tho Navy to ask that it bediscontinued. In his reply, which waspublished, ho said that tho act of Con¬gress providing for Its purchase hadpractically determined the name."Na¬val Operating llaco, Hampton .Roads,Va."Tho most important event of theyear to us was the loan by Miss MaryCustis L>cc of tho George WashingtonCincinnati china. She selected the Con- ifederate Memorial Institute as theplace for it because it was the mostflre-proof building: to be. found, anilthe exhibition of it for the benefit ofthe public on Saturday, November 10,was an event of great interest. It gavethe public, at tho same liinc, an op¬portunity to view the building withits unfinished mural decorations, andabout 700 pcupla took advantage of it.In looking over the minutes of thelast year, I have noticed "about oncein so often," aa Mrs. Kuculcs, in the"Birds' Christinas Carol." would say,allusions io tho dreadful condition ofthe causeway or part of the road be¬

tween Williamsburg and Jamestown. |Mrs. LJghtfoot, chairman of the James- Jtown committee, has referred to It timeand again in her reports; Mrs. Burnoyhas written that something must bedone, and she has tried to see Mr.Vaden; and Mrs. Kllyson has interview- jed Mr. Coleman, of the board of su-pcrvisors. but an far as I have gather¬ed, nothing of consequence has beendone.The whole world Is so full of the one

subject of tho war that it is hard tokeep up our Interest in the past, butwe must remember that, as an associ¬ation, 'we are under moral obligationsto keep up our work, and must try toget new members and to urge the old jmembers not to resign, as it Is not iright to forget our history of the past, Ieven In that history that la makingat present.

In closing. I quote from the ISa'-ternShore Herald about one of their land-marks: "It is well to remember that jan investment to preserve these old !public buildings is an investment topreserve a valuable possession thatcould not be replaced if lost. It means
