that It takes from 400 to 500 pounds
Of bananas to mako 100 pounds OF
figs. The food PRODUCTS manu'actnr.
ed are fig bananss, cooking bananas,
banana chips, flour and meal.
4one factory cuts the bananas into

mr. Speaker Just a few words
about roadsa matter OF much mo
ment to all the people of our country
The plain people Of the land are
familiar with the truths Of history.
They know the past They realize that
often the difference between good
roads and bad roads is the difference
between profit and loss. Good roads
hay a money value far beyond our Or
dinary conception Bad roads constk
tute our greatest drawback to internal
development and material progress.
Good roads mean prosperous farmers;
bad roads mean abandoned farms.
sparsely settled country districts, and
eongested populated cities, where is
poor are destined 70 become poorer.
Good roads mean more cultivated
farms and cheaper food products for
the toiler IN the cities; bad roads
mean poor transportation, lack Of com
munication, high prices for the neces-
saries Of life. the loss Of Untold mil-
lions Of wealth, and idle workmen
seeking employment. Good roads w.ll
help those who cultivate the soil and
feed the multltudes and whatever aids
the producers and farmers OF The eoun.
try will increase our wealth and our
greatness and benefit all the people.
ye can not destroy our farms
without final decay. They are today
the heart Of our national life and the
chief source OF our material great
ness Tear down every edifiee in our
cities and labor viii rebuild then. but

price Of food and the increasing cost
Of living BY reducing the cost oil

farmer to market his produce at a low.
er price and al large profit al the
same time. It would bring communi-
ties closer together and in touch WITH
the centers Of population, thereby ca
eilitating the commerce Of ideas as
well as Of material products.
When the agricultural production

when we consider that it costs mors

In mount ing from the lower to the upper deck the passengers have to rise less than two feet fore than they would in boarding an or dinary car.

Double Deck Trolley Cars
n the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
 Last spring there was introduced in the streets of Now York a peculiar low street car. which gained for itself the name of the 'hobble skirt car of the "stepless'' car for the reason that 1t was hung very low, and hence required no step between the street level and the floor of the car. This result was obtained by placing the driving motors at the end of the car and the car body between them. The entrance to the car was at the center.
 When it was found that the low stepless car was a success it was only logical for the next improvement to consist of an up- per story placed over the low car By an ingenious disposition of the various parts q double dock car has been evolved which is only seventeen inches higher than the ordinary car that runs lip and down Broadway At each end of the car are the stairways that lead to the upper deck. Here there are two long seats running the entire length of the car. and arranged back to back. Thus the aisles of the upper deck are at the outside, whereas the aisle Of the lower deck is In the center,

 There were pitchers, but no catchers, and the fielders were few. When pitched the ball was thrown by an outward move ment of the thigh or elbow. according to how it was aimed, whether high or low. After being struck the sphere. in order to count, has to pass through hoie in one of several stone discs hanging just in front of. the wall of the court. The feat of bunt- ing that ball with the thigh and sending it through one of those holes required a great deal of skill, as might be imagined. Agility was one of the prime requisites of an Aztec big leaguer. Any player touch ing the ball with the hand losr n point.
 The emouments of the game were quite as interesting from a pecuniary stand point as they are today. Things of great value were usually given to the winners. And not only the prize. The victors were often presented with jewels line cotton stuffs feather work or plumes of great value.
 The game with the gold balls was a fa- vorte of Montezuma~ It is said that when Cortez staged his little historical sleit known as the conquest of Mexico and took Montezuma prisoner the royal captive spent a great deal of his time in durance playing the game with gold balls. He often challenged the Spanish general to contest.
 These yellow pills were thrown at targets of the same precious metal. His tory shows that Montezuma had the mak- ngs of a pitcher who might have been in fast company had he delayed the date of his birth a few centuries He could lean them against the horne plate with unerr ing regularity. The Spaniards never could learn to play ball anyway, and Cortez was not one, two, three with the first great American pitcher, so he lost frequently.
 The Aztec emperor usually insisted upon having high stakes placed on the game and won precious stones, ingots of gold and other more or less desirable property which he promptly distributed to his at tendants with the wonted generosity of his emperorshp. Cortez probably played a clever game on "Old Monte," TOT he was the captor, you know He probably re- lieved these same attendants of their evil
