J-Hop season is almost here again. We manifest the same in- terest, skill, and sensible judgment in these special garments that we do in our others. In today's issue of The Daily, C. W. Blanco, '15, begins a series of articles dealing with Porto Rico, his native country. This is the sixth series of of articles prepared by foreign stu- depts of the University. Ifr. Blanco will contribute three ar- ticles which will be published in six in- stallments. The subjects are as fol- lows: 1. "Porto Rico." 2. "The Government of Porto Rico." 3. "Resources of Porto Rico." Porto Rico (meaning "rich port"), was discovered on November 16, 1493, by Columbus, who took possession of the island three days later. The con- quest of the island from the aborigines was made in 1508 by Ponce de Leon. A year or two later he founded, near the present site of San Juan, a town which he named Caparra. The town was afterwards called Porto Rico. In1 1521, by command of the king ofi Spain, the capital was transferred to its present location. Some years later the name of Port Rico was given toE the island, and the name of San Juant to the capital. Several unsuccessful1 attempts were made by the English, Dutch, and French to take the island from Spain.1 Porto Rico is the smallest .and mostf eastern of the Great Antilles. Itsc outline presents the appearance of an almost geometrically regular parallel- ogram, nearly three times longer thanc broad, with its four sides followingJ the four cardinal points. It is 95 : miles long, 35 miles wide and has ana area of 3668 square miles. The coastc line is about 360 miles in length. Itsr area is 300 square miles grater thanq that of Delaware, Rhode Island, andJ the District of Columbia combined. s The location of the island has beens described by a tourist in a rather in-v genious manner, as follows:,The pen-u insula of)Florida points directly to an island which appears something like a fish, with its tail bent towards South America. It is called Cuba. The nose of the fish extends towards an- other island, shaped like a horse's head, and known as Haiti. The horse's ears stretch up in the direction of Cuba, while the nose is almost on a line with a still smaller island, Porto Rico. The general aspect of the island is that of a picturesque, hilly landscape. Its beautiful and fertile plains, the abundance of gently flowing streams, the variety of vegetation, including palms which elevate their fronds above the lower stratum of evergreen, the bright patches of cultivated fields, the clear skies, mild tempera- ture, and invigorating winds give the country a very engaging aspect. The climate of Porto Rico, although warm, is more agreeable' and health- ful than that of any of the other An- tilles. The average daily temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but it is ameliorated by a cooling north breeze which gently prevails during the hot- est days. The winter season al- though there is neither snow or frost, lasts from November to March. The largest cities of Porto Rico are San Juan and Ponce. San Juan is probably the oldest city over which floats the American flag. It is built on a small island guarded by Morro Castle. Here is the light tower with its powerful lantern shining over the ocean from a height of 200 feet. San Juan boasts of a fine Y. M. C. A., mag- nificent buildings of historical import- ance, public squares, theaters, an ex- cellent harbor, a public library, Car- negie library, and well paved streets. The up-to-date railroad station at San Jaun is the terminal of an extensive system over the island. A net of street car lines connects San Juan with its beautiful and picturesque sub- urbs.

The act was approved Aug. 29, 1916, and the money has ever since been available. Of the 66 vessels authorized, however, in this, the greatest preparedness step in the history of the nation, 66 keels yet remain to be laid. Inability to agree on terms and costs demanded by private yards have been responsible for the delay, according to Secretary Daniels. Contracts are yet to be signed for eight of the proposed new vessels, and of the other 58 there remain 18 author- ized submarines for which the build- ing terms are not yet complete. For the entire program of construc- tion, bids have been received for all but one vessel. This is an ammunition ship for which bids were opened Jan. 3. Contracts already have been placed for four battleships, 20 destroyers, and 30 submarines. For 18 of the last named, however, certain details yet re- main to be work.d out before their construction can be started. Four authorized battle cruisers are also awaiting final action on building terms before their keels can be laid Under the appropriation act provision cust be made for the entire program by Feb. 29. / N 'N r res r.1-a , ='F I jr~ LOST LOST-Pearl circle pin, on East Un- iversity, between the Gymnasium and South University.
