PROTEST AGAINST THE
 TARIFF IMPOSED ON FRUIT

-NL W CNNNS JuAS .-AS lhS center of the banana importing in- dustry, storm Of protest has arisen here over the proposed import duty on bananas known as the "poor mans fruit" which heretofore have come in free. Already protests are coming in from other parts of the country. The Tariff Reform Club which has unceasingly advocated the reduction of tariff duties has added its protest to the imposition of the tax on bananas arguing that it is unjust and undemocratic to place an import duty on this food product which has always been free just at the time when most other articles of food are being placed on the free list In addition to this, the inde- pendent importers in this country assert that the imposition of such duty will make for monopoly by injuring or destroying their business while benefitting that of the one company which handles the bulk oi this business.
 Few persons realize the enormous amount of bananas imported into this country which heretofore have always come in free Last year the number amounted to approximately 100000 punches or something like 2,500,000,0O0 individual bananas.
 Probably no other fruit with the possible exception of the apple is so largely consumed by people of small means. Ninety-five per cent of last years imports, it is reported, were consumed by the working class and the banana is almost universally found throughout the country in the noontime dinner pail. It is in fact the only fruit which the working man can obtain cheaply throughout the whole year
 Food experts have pointed out that the banana is not merely a relish but an important food product, since it Is high in those essentials which go to determine food values. As a result much surprise is expressed here at an attempt on the part of the administration to levy a tax upon the dinner pail and the market basket.
 In commenting upon the proposed import duty, one of the largest im- porters said:
 Bananas are an important food product and it is scarcely logical to begin taxing them when most other articles are being placed on the free list. Bananas are consumed by the poor and by those of small means rather than by the wealthy and well-to-do. It is practically the only fruit that has been so cheapened in price as to have been brought with in the reach of the poorest con sumner. To increase the cost of this poor mans fruit as would be done by a duty seems indefensible"
 Surprise Is expressed in many quarters at this proposal to tax the poor mans fruit, to raise instead of lowering the cost of living in the face of the policy outlined by the present administrations The opinion most generally expressed is that con sistency will necessitate the elimina- ton of the proposed duty from the tariff bill It is also being pointed put that it will be somewhat difficult to reconcile the increase in the cost of this food product with the pro posed decreased duties on automo- piles, and the removal of the tariff on sugar which is raised in this with the placing of tariff on the poor mans fruit which is not grown in this country.

|QUEER CUSTOMS
OF THE COREANS
Bury Their Dead Where
AstrOlogers Tell
Them

Seoul, Corea, October lS.-tSpeeiaL)
A curious social fact about Corea is
that the most numerous crimes com
mitted by coreans are connected in
some way with tombs and burials. This
is the conclusion of Mr.. Kobulu, chief
public procurator of the supreme court
here. A common occurrence is for Co.
reans to bury their dead in ground be-
longing to other people without first
obtaining the consent of the owner
This is sometimes accomplished in Sc
cref sometimes by force, and it is al
most invariably done under the cover
of darkness
The underlying reason for these of
fenses is the Corean superstition that
the prosperity or unhappiness of the
surviving members of the family in
which death has occurred. as we'll as
the happiness of the departed person.
depends upon the selection of the
burial ground of the dead. Therefore,
when Coreans are told by soothsay
ers that a certain spot is good for the
burial place, they do not hesitate to
take possession of the indicated
ground
Blackmail concerning tombs is also
frequent. The criminals first open the
tombs belonging to some wealthy fam
lily, then remove the head of the corpse
and hold 1t for ransom. In former
times the b1ackmailer succeeded. as
Coreans believe the desecration of
tombs brings woe to those who allowed
them to remain in a ruined condition.
Recently these crimes have decreased,
owing to the activity of the police.
Mr.. Kokubu has recorded another favor
lite Corean custom, namely, the carrying
off by force of widows by bachelors who
are unable to marry in the regular way on
account of their poverty.
Influenced by Confucianism, Qorean
women in general believe that they are
morally bound not to marry a second time.
On the other hand many men cannot
marry on account of the great expense
attached to the ceremony. These two con-
ditions have combined to bring about ab-

Next Congress Important
This work, on the coal resources of the
world, is the second of the kind publish
ed by the international congress. The
eleventh congress held at Stockholm in
1910 reviewed in a similar way the iron
ore resources of the world, a topic of
equal interest for Alabamians. The SUBJ
ject for the next congress, to be held in
Brussels in 1917, has not yet been determ-
ined but the chances are that the pc
troleum supplies of the world will be dis
cussed. Possibly by that time. Alabama
will have entered the list of OF, produc-
ing states, and her people will be as much
concerned with oil resources as they are
now with coal and iron.

the United States would have to keep
warm in winter by taking violent exer-
else instead of burning coal. 1t may COM
fort them to know that the coal reserves
of the world are estimated at 7.397553 mil
lion tons, that is over 1000 900, coo tons, and
that the present rate of production or
consumption, which amounts to the same
thing, is only 1143 million tons, so that if
the present rate of consumption only were
maintained, we should have coal for some
6i70 years, surely long enough to satisfy
anyone. OF course, our consumption OF
coal Is steadily growing, and will doubt
less continue to grow, but even at an
extraordinary rate of increase many,
many generations must pass away before
any serious inroad will be made upon the
worlds supply.
Americas Fine Supply
If America alone be considered. the case
of the alarmist becomes still worse. The
coal reserves of the United States proper,
excluding Alaska, are given on page 53S
of the monograph as approximately three
and one quarter billion TONS about "A per
cent of those of the world. The annual
production OF the United States was in
1910. 446, 100000 tons, and if again that rate
of production were maintained we should
have to live for 1900 years at least before
we saw our coal fields abandoned. When
we reflect that all sorts of gloomy pre-
dictions were once made as to the fate
of England, when her supply of wood for
fuel should be gone, (this before the dis
covery of coaD, and how other resources

some confidence, and cease to be disturb

by no means a dream only, and recent
discoveries in radioaetivity have revealed
unexpected stores of energy in ordinary
matter, stores which are no more in
