WHEN THE NEAR EAST is
CIVILIZED

Roughly speaking. Turkey was d.
vided into five great provinces or dis
trlcts-Anatolia, Armenia, Kurdistan.
Mesopotamia and Syria"
With this Introduction William II.
Hall, writing to the National Geograph-
ic society, sketches the resources or
Turkey, which have an opportunity for
development with measures that may
lessen the horrors of mlsrule, injustice,
deportations, massacres and famines.
He continues:
"The same broad plains that once
fed and clothed a population of 49,
100000 human beings are waiting to-
day for the plow, the seed and the
reaper The mountains still hold
riches of coal and iron and copper.
The quarrles still have abundance or
choice marbles. The rivers are po'
tent with power to turn the wheeis
of industry. The natural harbors IN
vite the fleets of merchantmen ana
the river valleys and mountain passes
offer natural lines of communication
and transportation, as in the days
when great caravans passed along
these natural highways, bringing the
merchandise of the East to the mar
kets of the West.
"The whole land has been lying fal-
low for centurles-a land that modern
exploration reveals as one of the rlch-
est in natural resources and as unSur-
passed by its geographic location Tor
being the trade center OF the worlo.
"Exclusve of Arabia, which was
never more than nominally under the
Ottoman dominion, the Turkish empire
embraced about $4,000 square miles
of territory at the beginning OF the
World war Only about 10000 square
miles of this were in Europe. The
Turkish empire was equivalent to the
combined areas of the British lsies'
France and pre-war Germany. 1t was
larger than all of the area east or the
mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers.
"The boundaries were the Black sea
and Caucasus on the north, Egypt on
the south. the Aegean and Mediter-
ranean seas on the west, and the
Syrian desert and Persia on the east.
"Turkey in Europe was almost
negligible area, as the Balkan wars
stripped the Turks of all their Eu-
roneon possessions except Constanu-
nonle and a narrow territory along the
Rosporus and Dardanelles some ~
miles in width so that when the Iurh-
ish empire has been referred to IN re-
cent wears Asiatic Turkey was nearly
all that the term embraced.

New Claimant for Honor Given Columbus

Norwegian German privateer-Captain
Dldrik Pining and piloted by the Nor
weglan pilot Jon Skolp, to whom cred
It is given for having reached as far
as Labrador and found part OF the
actual entrance to the northwest
passage.
Later on new material was found
pointing In the same direction. one
of the sources was a famous GLOBE
dating 1887. and made by the Dutch
physician and mathematician, Gemma
Frisius, who points out that North
America was reached in 1476 by Jo-
hannes Scolvus.
Johannes Scolvus is name un-
known In Norwegian history. DIR. Lar
sen connects II with the Norwegian
surname Skolp. which means man
from the shores or fishing places OF
northern Norway. His deed became
famous In his own times. but on ac-
count of various conditions not trace
able now, II was yelled in obscurlty
and forgotten.
The account of his voyage undouDt-
edly has been of significance to other
expeditions. Norwegians as well as
English and Portuguese. DIR. Fridt1ot

has proved that even 100 years later
English explorers were familiar win

Frobishers travel to Greenland In

"The sugar extracted from this cana
would load fleet of steamers reach
ing from Havana to New York, with
n ship for every mile OF the twelve
hundred that stretch between the two
ports. The great pyramid of Cheops,
before whose awerinsplring proper
tions millions Of people have stood
and gnzed in open-mouthed amaze
ment, remains, after five thousand
years, unrvaled as monumental pile;
but Cuba's sugar output this year
would make two pyramids, each out
basing and overtopping Cheops.
1.-THE wealth the e'outgoing sugar crop
brings In Is not less remarkable In It's
proportions. Four hundred dollars out
of single crop for every human be-
ing who lives on the island-a sum
almost as great as the per capita
wealth produced by all the farms, all
the factories, and all the mines of the
United States.
"What wonder, then, that Cuba to-
day is n land of gold and gems, richer
than Midas ever was, converting
Croesus, by contrast, into a beggarf
"How much net profit the cnne grow
er reaps at 1920 prices Is hard to es-
innate, but that 1t is large will appear
when the methods OF cane growing are
stated To begin with. after the first
crop the planter does not have to
bother with seed time for about ten
years. The soil Is so deep and SO
fertile that one planting produces ten
harvests. Neither does cultivation
bother him after the first season, for
the blades stripped from one crop
form mulch that keeps the weeds
from competing with the next one"
The Colorado statesman., 1920-11-13
Motors Speed Up Farm Work and Cut Cost

farm work. 1t extended productive ef-
fort.
Each truck displaced on an aver
age IL head of work stock and saved
an average of S163 worth of hired
help.
"These trucks averaged 2,777 miles
a year at a cost of 16.5 to II cents per
mile, making the total annual opera
tion cost from $46O to S410. This In
cludes depreciation on the basis that
the average life of a truck is six ana
one-half years, the largest single item
of expenses"
As 1t costs about 5000 year to keep
a horse in the corn belt. the saving
from displaced stock was S240; from
reduced help S163. cuts the average
expense to $50 or $40. To offset this
custom hauling amounted to $50 year
each for all the S31 farms, leaving the
net expense between $40 and $50.
More than one-half of these farmers
have not reduced their work stock
since buying trucks, and do all the
hauling in the fields and around the
buildings by horses and wagons. About
cne-fourth have disposed of one or TWO
head and 20 per cent have reduced
their stock two head, the average for
all farms being II head.

LUCERNE: THE HOSTESS
OF SWITZERLAND

Lucerne, scene of important confer
ences among allied statesmen, is a
precious jewel among Swiss cities
with the lake OF the same name for
its settlng-a lake where varied beauty
and historic association are blended.
On that lakes shores william Tell is
reputed to have exhibited his marks
manshIp TO the discontinue of Gessler,
and on It's waters tradition holds he
won his revenge by seizlng the rudder
OF the vessel on which that tyrant held
him prisoner and guided 1t to the rock
where he aimed, not at an apple, but
at his oppressor's heart.
Less picturesque, but more slgnifi-
cant. was the formulation of the per-
petual league. That famous instru-
ment not only was the antecedent of
the Swiss confederation, but marked
a mile post in humanity's political
freedom.
Beloved by tourists and crowded
with them in normal years, Lucerne
has retained many of its ancient as
poets. Its crumbllng wall with its
watch towers give it medieval
stump lNO VI us IpNtith "N'f~N
bridges also serve as art galleries.
On the walls of one are depicted
scenes of the city's history and the
other has paintings Of the "Dance of
Death"
Perhaps the most famed art object
of the city is the Lion of Lucerne, CON
sldered by one critic "the most appro-
pirate and touching monument in eX-
Istence" In a grotto, hewn from the
natural rock, is dying lion pierced
by lance, with his paw protecting
the neur-de-Iys of the BOurbons. Thor
waldsen. Danish sculptor, designed
this tribute to the Swiss guard who
died In seeking to protect Louis NNl
against the mob of Paris revolution
fists that stormed the Tuileries in 1872.
Many quaint houses remain, includ-
Ing the wooden structures whose in
Aammability gave rise to curious ire
regulations. Wood for building could
not lie I'm the streets more than "a
hours. No smithy could work between
vespers and early mass. Every citi-
zen was n potential fire fighter and
the citizens brigade when called to n
fire had to await word from the mayor
for dismissal. Women were required
10 aid at night by holding lights in the
uoorways. Untn two centuries ago
the city fathers were assigned special
duties in fire fighting.
The Colorado statesman., 1920-11-13
Cities Cannot Keep Surplus Population

~ HE census bureau apparently Is
i trying to scare the eternal day
lights out of us by Its oft-repeated
announcement of the discovery that.
for the first time in the history OF
this nation, more people live In the
cities than in the country. We are
told that, whereas the urban popula-
ton had a majority of 100000 ten
years ago, 1t now has minority OF
about 100000. About 55.000,OOO peo-
pie, we are told, live in the cities and
towns of $500 population and over,
as against 100000 ON the farms and
In the villages.
We presume the census bureau Is
trying to tell us that the United
States has become a manufacturing
nation instead of an agricultural peo-
Pile, and are trying to impress us that,
for the first time in our history, we
are face to face with the actual dan
ger that we cannot grow enough food
TO support ourselves.
If this alleged situation is a fact
rather than a theory. we have every
reason for fear, but in common with
most people of the land. we cannot
become greatly exercised over the mat
ter. 1t is unfortunate that census-tak-

be found In greatest number In the
shndow of Asia Minors loftiest peak,
snow-clad Mt. Argaeus (called by the
Turks Erjas Dagh), an extinct vol
calo whose eruption in the dim past
land the foundations and supplied the
material for these remarkable hablta-
lions, while the Hays river of the
ancients (now known as XIII IrmaD
in succeeding centuries became their
tireless architect.
"The practice of living In caves, In
cliffs or In excavated cavities In the
open plain is to be traced to a state
of society which we of today have
some difficulty In depicting to our
selves. And yet the central thought
of the Troglodytic habit ls the basic
principle upon which ancient civillza-
tion was founded.
"1hcy have sought and found for
themselves complete isolation. They
seem to have none OF the instincts of
agricultural man and they are wholly
lnhoslitnble.
81 he entrances to their dwellings
are high up in the almost perpendlcu-
lar walls OF the cliffs, and they are
reached solely by means of long poles,
which are light enough to be drawn
up when the lord of the den and his
family are safely housed. And when
housed they really are safe from in
truslcn, for II would require host to
force an entrance against the Will of
the family.
"One ancient writer tells us that
some Troglodytes made a practice of
killing all those who were not in first
rate physical condition, on the ground
that a man who cannot earn his own
living has no right to live; and when
one sees these dwellings, one can i'm
agine still another reason for killing
off the aged and the intirm-because
of their inability to get In or out of
the house"
The Colorado statesman., 1920-11-13
NEITHER WARS NOR RENTS
DISTURB THIS CURIOUS
PEOPLE

The cone dwellers of Asia Minor,
technically known as the Troglodytes
of Cappadocla, are harassed not at
all by the housing problem, for they
live In nature-made apartment houses,
fashioned by trickllng streams and vol
canic violence.
Nor is it likely that they are con-
cerned in the least about their politi-
cal fate, for, though they inhabit what
is characterized as the cradle of civil
ilzation," they are more primitive in
some particulars than the most be
nlghted tribes of Africa or the South
Pacific.
A communication by ]. II. SitlingtOn
Sterrett to the National Geographic
society describes the Cappadocians as
