BIG PIER NEARLY
COMPLETED AT CEIBA

Consul Drew Linard advised that the
500 foot extension of the Vaccaro
steamship company pier at the Hondu-
ran port of Ceiba is about two thirds
completed The pier will be 700 feet
long and permit steamers of moderate
draft to load bananas direct from the

method of lighterage. The construc-
tors expect that the heavy timber used
will enable the pier to Withstand the

To any one alive TO the develop

nothing more striking than the steady
growth of the quality idea during the
past ten or fifteen years. Where for
merly home builders were satisfied
with makeshift construction and with
the cheap though gaudy effects in
building there has come to be n gen.
eral demand for the best grades OF
material and the most thorough work
permanent structures.
Take the medium-sized dwelling
house, for instance, such as the aver
nge family requires; generation ago
$4,000 would probably have been the
top figure considered proper for its
cost. Today no one would think of
spending less than twice that amount
II he would build with an eye to per-
manent use or future sale.
The increased cost of labor and ma.
terials has had something to do with
this, 1t is true, but not so much as is
sometimes thought. No. 1t is the add
ed comforts and the higher standard
OF quality all the way through that
have brought this about. Modern
plumbing and fixtures. modern heat

About Beans

The bean that we eat In some form
nearly every day. that almost every
body likes, is comparatively new as an
edible. Our common, everyday bean
is a native of South America and was
introduced into Europe. whence 1t
came to this country, during the six
teenth century, and now is represent
ed by more than $50 cultivated va
rieties. The big, broad bean is the
