U. S. Extension of Time for In

Need to Prevent Breaking
Of Financial Backbone.
BY DAVID LaW8ENCE.
Especial Correspondent Of The News
Sclmltar.l

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE United
states government has agreed to permit
her allies In the European war to defer
payment for three years Of the interest
on $4,000. 600 900 loaned them during the
war. While ostensibly the reason Is the
chaotic condition Of foreign exchange at
this moment, when an English pound
and a French franc are deprecia ting In
value, the truth Is our government has
taken note Of the probabilities OF tho
situation and sees it would be folly to
insist that the allies raise $3.50, 600 600 in
god at time when Europe is in the
most desperate financial condition in
her history
Not only would Europe have consid-
cradle difficulty in finding that much
gold, but she would so strain her re-
sources as TO break the back of her
financial structure and be unable to
pay for her goods from America of
which she Is in dire need.
Indeed, the United States has adopt-
ed policy Of deferring interest payments
as much out Of a measure OF self
preservation and financial precaution
based on American interests as altru-
ism,

How Toasts Originated.

The custom Of drinking the health
Of the most popular man at the table
has Its foundation In the ancient prac.
tice originated by the Greeks and
adopted by the Romans Of drinking to
the gods and the dead, observes an
exchange.
The Greeks and Romans later began
the practice Of drinking to each other,
and from this arose the custom Of
toastIng living men. But health drink.
Ing In Its modern form, originating In
England In the registering days of
Charles II, begins with the custom of
drinking to the ladies or to any wom-
an who happened to be the reigning
belle Of the court.
Many and various were the quaint
customs associstad with the toasts Of
those days. For example, In certain
companies Of military officers etiquette
demanded that the cup should be pass.
ed from hand to hand.
In many midnight gatherings of Alsa.
tia gallants stabbed themselves In Or

Of the woman on whom their hearts
were set.-Kansas City Journal.

In 1915, an Italian, named Bianconi,
started the first coaching company In
Ireland, running long cars over vari.
Gus regular routes. Long cars soon
became the safest and most reliable
means of travelling over Ireland, and
Blanconi turned rich and prosperous.

est respectability" used the long cars
for travelling. At this time, although
these cars passed through 12S towns,
they had not made their way into the
north Of Ireland. The cars varied con.
siderably In size, requiring from one to
four horses. The fare, even over the
rockiest roads In the West, was two.
pence farthing mile. The Halls care
fully explain that passengers were pro-
vided with "dry and comfortable horse
hair cushions and aprons" and that, In
wet weather, the long cars never jour.

changing the cushions.

CHINA LOSING TRADE IN TEA
General Opinion That Scientific Cult.
walton Of the Plant Has Been
Begun Too Late.

China's tea trade Is not keeping pace
with the worlds consumption OF tea.
Scientific cultivation instead OF old
time methods and the use of maehin-
cry are being used In the effort to
regain the lost commercial ground.
The ministry Of agriculture has estab-
lished model farm. and the first tea
grown on II was sent to market this
year. II Is said to have been Of good
quality, but no details are yet avail
able Of the equipment and methods
employed. Foreign tea men seem to
have little faith In the results of this
attempted reform and consider 1t un-
likely that Chinese teas will ever re-
gain the leading place In the markets
Of the world. II is said that Chinese
teas have less tannin than other teas,
and that the finer grades are unsur-
passed In delicacy OF flavor; but the
average tea drinker seems to find the
teas Of India and Ceylon satisfactory.

TRACING EVOLUTION or BAR
In Old Rome II Had Its Origin In Re.
Iations Existing Between
Patron and Client.

The Roman bar, writes s. p. Scott In
Case and Comment, deduced It's origin
from the intimate association Of pa
tron and client In the days OF the re-
public. This relation, founded upon
mutual support and assistance, bore a
considerable resemblance to that of
lord and vassal during the middle ages
without, however, including the OPP
pressive restrictions imposed upon the
latter by the laws of feudallsm. Among
the many duties required Of the patron
was that OF trnnsaetlng the legal busi-
ness of his clients and appearing for
them In court. This service was at
first entirely gratuitous, but subse-
quently, when the ties Of hereditary
connection became less binding. and
consultation with patrons was aban-
doned by their clients for the advice
Of jurists possessed Of greater leY.i
erudltion. voluntary fee. called an
honorarium, was expected. The amount
Of this was established by custom, and,
in the course Of time, when excessive
gifts Of this kind were virtually de-
manded, all fees were regulated by
statute.
After law had developed into sci
ence the profession became recognized
as a distinct calling. and legal proce-
dure having been Systematically organ
ized, representation Of parties In court
WIS successfully effected by three
classes Of persons-procurators, cogni-
tors and advocates.

Eucalyptus Valuable Tree.

Eucalyptus will grow usder many
adverse conditions, so long as they are
protected from frost. The young trees
cannot stand frost. and this fact has
restricted the growth of the species
to certain favorable sections OF Cali.
fornla and the Southwest. On the
other hand, the trees win thrive on
very poor soil and they do not require
very much attention. Some Of the
largest commercial plantations, main
tanned by railroad coupsaies for tie
making purposes, are located along the
shores of the Pacific ocean near San
Diego, where their principal moisture
comes from the heavy fogs that roll In
from the sea, and which are absorbed
by the leaves.
