An experimental shipment Of grapes
was sent from Chile to New York,
with view of ascertaining whether
a market could be found In the United
States for the product Of the Chilean
vineyards. The grapes were shipped
In cold storage and are reported to
have arrived in excellent condition,
and to have been sold at highly sat
isfactory prices. II Is reported that
another shipment Is planned AZ soon
as arrangements can be made. The
experiment Is OF particular interest,
since II Is possible that the exporta-
ton Of fresh fruit from Chile to the
United States might become very
profitable. providing shipping facili-
ties were available. Chile produces
fine fruit OF almost every variety

the United States, when the market
would be at its best.

B0RAH DEMANDS
P|T|LESS PUBLICITY
SAYS ARMS CONFERENCE WILL
FAIL If IN sEcRET-LET THE
PUBLIC BE HEARD FROM.
CALLS ON PEOPLE TO ACT
Under Present System, Says Senator,
Nations Are Headed Toward Ruin.
International Problems Must
Be Solved.

Asbury Park. N. J.-Senator Borah,
Of Idaho. urged an audience here to
help get little more democracy in
foreign affairs" The Idaho senator,
although one Of the foremost advocates
Of armament limitation, predicted that
the coming conference on armament
would be complete failure unless pub
lie opinion Enthusiastically demanded re.
duction Of navies and armies.
"Pry open the doors of the confer.
ence," declared Senator Borah. Let
the sunlight OF publicity beat in upon
the dark and secret places. Let us
know what's going on before it has
been concluded in order that public
opinion may have its molding and di.
rect effect. Above oil, let RESPONSE
bility be fixer and then let pubic
opinion lash from power those who
betray the cause.
Disarmament will be but delu-
sion, fraud veneered with tepid pur.
poses and false promises unless there
is found demanding 1t and supporting
II what amounts 20 moral and social
revolution. II will come only at the
command of the people united and
determined, persistent and untiring.
1T is your right. That conference
will accomplish nothing of real and
substantial worth except 1t be directed
and dominated by the commanding
voice. In the name OF the dead upon
thousand battlefields, in the name
OF countless millions bending under
the crushing burden Of war, in the
name of the MANNED and wounded
who crowd our streets and hospitals,
In the name Of all who are hereafter
to inherit the earth, let us not lose
interest, let US not give up hope, Let
us rather, as q people, resolve thar
the conference shall not fail, that our
hearts and hopes and prayers will
brace and direct, yes, command the
men who have this fearful responsi.
bility resting upon them"
old-fashioned diplomacy brought on
the war with Teutonic power, he said
"and the same system Of secret nego-
tiations is relied upon to solve the
problems which confront us"
"And already the system is bearing
fruit" he added. England and France
have travelled far apart in the last
three years. how far one hardly dares
TO estimate. Public officials in the
congress Of the United States and the
Diet Of Japan announce to their peo-
pies that great navies are necessary
because of the treachery OF the other
nation. You know and | know and
every man who can and cares to think
knows chat under this program we are
headed for bankruptcy or war. or both
at means moral breakdown. It
means industrial peonage for the
masses. 1t may mean in the future,
as 1t has always meant in the past.

Nobody can stop 1t but you-the peo-
pie of this country, the people OF
Great Britain and Of Japan. the people

PENS LONG USED
Writing instruments Are of Great
Antiquity.
Records Prove They Are as Old 40
the sword-construe Of
Many MaterlaIa

The pen is one of the oldest instru-
ments men use. Whether or not 1t IL
mightier than the sword. as Bulwer
LyttOn makes the great French cardi-
nal exclaim In the play Of "Richelieu,"
1t Is perhaps OF as great antiquity as
the sword. 1t is not as old as stone
headed war clubs or stone axes, but
IL seems to date back to the begin
ming Of mems knowledge of metals
and their alloys. AS soon as men got
the idea Of inscriblng symbols on
stones as representing things or
words, they used an iron instrument
which was the parent, or the ancestor,
Of the pen. There were pens of iron
and bronze and reeds, and later the
quilts of feathers.
The Assyrian kings and scribes and
the Phoenecians 1000 years before
Christ proclaimed their dynasties with
DEGREES written with pens made from
reeds and feathers. The early Greeks
inscribed their letters with a stylus,
but the later Greeks wrote with the
quilts Of geese, crows hawks and
eagles Pens of brass and silver were
in use in Rome at the beginning Of
the Christian era.
The stylus with which many Of the
Greeks and Romans wrote was some
thing like an Iron bodkln and II came
to be used so often In brawls that II
was prohibited-that is, men were
prohibited TO use stylus The bod
kin In old English times was no doubt
a big darning or knitting needle and
Hamlet had that instrument In mind
when he said: "When he his Quietus
might make with bare bodkin."
There are various references In the
Bible to pens. In the Book Of Judges,
the fifth chapter and the fourteenth
verse, is this: "0ut of Machir came
down governors. and out of Zebulum
they that handle the pen of the
writer" In Kings, the twenty-first
chapter In the matter Of Ahab, Jeze-
bel and Naboth 1t is written: $50 she
wrote letters in Ahab's name, amt
sealed them with his seal and sent the
letters unto the elders and to the
mobiles that were In his city, dwelling
with Naboth." In the nineteenth chap
ter Of Job, the twenty-third and TWEEN.
ty-fourth verses, Is this: "0h that
my words were now written Oh that
they were printed In book That
they were craven with an iron pen
and lead In rock foreverl" The eighth
chapter Of Isaiah begins, Take thee
great roll, and write In II with mans
pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-
baz.' In the Third Eplstle of John
occurs this 81 had many things to
write, but l will not with Ink and pen
write to thee"
Pens Of steel, gold and silver APP
peared In Great Britain, France and
America about 1900 but they were
very slow in gaining favor. They
were expensive, clumsy and not as
satisfactory as the quill. But the
quill had reached the limit In the
nicely with which 1t could be pointed
and the gold and steel pens continued
to be improved In their smoothness
and flexibility. The first fountain
pen was patented about 1880 and the
number OF patents granted on foun-
tain pens now reaches into the thou
sands.

Organized labor the statement
