We visited the botanical gardens and had lunch near there. Acquire Native Complexions.

When we came back this afternoon the Concession Shop was crowded with people from the Franconia and uvo other cruise boats in the harbor. My face, arms and hands are fully as brown as the natives of Java or Bali, and many a fair one with the aid of cocoanut oil and the tropical aim has been transformed from blond to brunet to Indian. Many got off at Samar- ang and are driving across to Ba- tavla and wil! rejoin us tomorrow. We visited the museum which is a most complete collection of all that relates to the history of Java and the Javanese. This collection is quite remarkable and very interesting.

Of course a boatful of "Cookies" with helmets swarm through such places wi.th only a casual glance but I was Impressed with the exhibit. The botanical gardens, out about 10 miles, were also very in-s, especially the lilies and lily ponds with black and white swans floating around. 25 Ingredients In Rice Lunch. At the Nederland hotel today we had, the rice lunch. This has a rice foundation, hut ia built up of 25 ingredients; and 20 waiters bring the various dishes that form the conglomerate rice luncheon.

I broke my fast by eating of this and drink- ng a glass of Dutch The beer was extra and cost a modest 60 Dutch cents which quala 42 cents of U. S. or Roosevelt money. The change in! our money standard has certainly benefited all' the rest of the world and ought to help us. Aside from Batik principal trade is in masks, dolls and hideous gods with which natives amuse themselves.

Ball and Java have intrigued the whole nations of the world represented in varying 1 numbers, making it a cosmopolitan city. All nations of the orient mingle here; all the commerce between the cast and the west passes through this port. A Polyglot Population. The Raffles hotel at which we ate lunch is a place where everybody meets everybody. The population is about 575,000 of which three-fourths are Chinese; 8,000 European, mostly English; tho balance 'Arabs, Malays, Indians, Armenians, etc.

We are 8,000 miles from London and from New York, on direct routes of travel. Singapore was founded as a British colony by Raffles in 1819 and, with other islands in the Straits Settlement, is still under British rule. Jusfc across the strait of Johore In British Malaya is the home of the elephant, tiger, panther, rhinoceros, wild buffalo and other jungle beasts and it Is from here they outfit to hunt Python and many other snakes are plentiful and their is much traffic in their skins. Rubber Industry at Standstill. In the Malay language man is called "orang," which may be some corroboratlnn of Darwin's theory of descent.

Thore is a part of the forest left In Its natural state for the monkeys and the visitors take quite an Interest in feeding them bananas. The principal exports are tire, rubber and copra. Firestone has a largo rubber factory and also manufactures tires here. The whole archipelago Is planted more or less to rubber but the price of crude rubber has brought the business to a standstill. Only a few are tapping the trees.

Palms and' orchids flourish here along with tropical fruits. 'I got hold of the Times, a paper printed In, but there was only meager news of the western world.

Mohammedan Religion Contacted.

We visited the Mohammedan shrine at Jahore and the Tiger Temple where the a copy of the original at Kandy, Ceylon, Is housed. An old Chinese temple was Interesting; you were expected to buy some incense and offer it at the shrine and also to buy firecrackers and shoot them off in the outer court. It sounded like a Fourth of July celebration as the party into buying something to take tourists set off the firecrackers. home, We are off for Singapore and will reach there day after tomorrow. Mnternnl Instinct Strong.

In Batavia we visited the sacred cavern where those who wish to bear children go and place votive offerings. There was a wagon load of flowers when we were there, showing that the maternal Instinct is still 'strong, in the Javanese women. A man keeps a charcoal fire burning and for any small pittance will sell you a little Incense and will burn-it over the coals and rub the oil on the cavern; by this simple means he assures you that great blessings will follow you. It might be difficult to trace by any method of reasoning how or why a blessing should follow this rite but the natives certainly believe in It. It Resembles Amsterdam.

Batavia is Dutch; with its cannls it resembles old Amsterdam except that the natives bathe and wash their clothes in the canals.

This, like Singapore, has largely Chined population and Chinese stores.

It is a beautiful Island and has some good shops. The natives are Malayan and are a little darker as a rule than the other Islanders seen. The Chinese predominate In trade but the Malays supply the office-holding class and drive motor cars and look after transportation generally. They have a tram railway IVi miles long that rises in that distance to a height of 12,381 feet and from this altitude there is a vast and beautiful panorama: of the bay and half of the Island. It was comfortably cool on the mountain.

Beauty Spot of the Malays. If one had not been to Ball he might designate this as the flower of the islands of tho sea. It is commonly known as the Beauty Spot of the Malaya. A Chinese temple about 9 miles out is remarkable principally for the fact that there are many snakes kept in the temple, none of them confined except one python. They are lying about on the furniture, the walls, and the MAY Saturday MAY 19 Saturday MAY 19 A.

"I have never transferred any interest in Wallace'Publlshing company to anyone. I have two brothers. I. have never transferred any interest in anything to either. I have never transferred title to any farm to anyone.

In the early days of the Bi-Bred Corn company when it was a very small business, largely experimental, I owned more stock than any other person, but as it expanded I wag unable to raise the money necessary to maintain my interest Mrs. Wallace, partly by reinvesting rental payments and partly by in vesting additional cash, became th largest single stockholder by lal act can help the victim, but maybe it does.

From the meager news we get on ship It would seem that the Roosevelt advisera have been leading him like a wilt-o-the-wisp into financial and economic mires. In all the places we have visited there Is marked recovery from the general depression; ut it seems this is not true of the U. S. Perhaps the administration could earn wisdom from the story of King -anutc, or Mahomet and the moun- No nation or peoples have been able to make two unequal things equal; by legal fiat.

These eggs are empty shells but the fact is the snakes are fed only eggs except the python whose dally menu is one live chicken. This satisfies his appetite and he sleeps from one meal to the next. It is a little strange to see the snakes attracting contributions to worship.

Worso Than Betel-nuts grow abundantly here. There are targe bunches at the tops of all slender trees. The nuts are sliced into small pieces and with lime and cloves make the famous betel-nut chewing. These nuts are exported in large quantities to Burma, India, and to other Malayan islands, the betel-nut being very popular with the islanders. It makes them spit "blood," blackens or destroys the teeth, and a native with a mouthful is more offensive by far than a tobacco shower.

"Under British Dominion. Old betel-nut containers made of gold, silver, brass or other metals are common and perhaps as much money has been and Is being expended for betel-nuts and opium in the orient as for tobacco in the occidental It seems strange that tobacco and betel-nuts, both poisons and naturally offensive to man, should have acquired such a hold upon him.
