LINKS BRAZIL WITH U. S. AS THE "MOST HOSPITABLE PEOPLE"

"The Brazilians and the Americans are the most hospitable of all the different peoples I have met with in my travels," said Professor Jean Massart in his talk yesterday afternoon on "A Botanical Trip Through Brazil." Even back in the jungles the natives were very kind and succeeded in giving a much better impression than is commonly obtained from the average story book.

Experiments with the temperature and rainfall of Brazil showed amazing results. At Rio Janeiro Professor Massart found that the rainfall was six times that in Boston while the temperature averaged 77 degrees F.

The slides shown in connection with the talk revealed many different kinds of plants and animal life. Dwarf palms, cactus, larch fir, and rubber trees were the most interesting of the species in that tropical jungle.
