.,tlement of the Pacific coast Of the
Z led States, the building of the
Panama railroad, and later the con-
Nruction Of trans Mexican railway,
the Panama canal and railways
across Guatemala and Costa R,ca,
Central America has become easily
accessible.
Shortly before the construction of
the panaila railroad, coffee was in
troduced into Central America from
the West Indies. and was found to
grow to perfection In the lava soil on
the slopes of the volcanic mountains
along the Pacific coast of most of the
region. Coffee soon became an export
Of prime Importance and has brought
much money into Central America.
The remainder Of Central Americas
horticultural romance has as its mo-
tif, the banana. In order that the
great American hunger for that slen-
der golden fruit might he nppeased,
large fruit growing and distributing
corporations from the United States
acquired extensive tracts Of land In
the Atlantic plain, reclaimed 1t from
the jungle, and planted great banana
groves which produce millions of
punches of bananas yearly.
The by-products of this development
have been as valuable to Central
America as the money that has flowed
directly to laborers and to the gov
ernment. Important cities have
sprung up along the Atlantic const
railroads have been built, and what
Is probably most important Of all, lines
Of fast, well-cquipped steamers. carry
ing both passengers and freight have
been established between the Atlantic
ports and those of the United States
In effect the banana has shifted Cen

IN TURKEY REFORM

Turkey bids fair to come back

Ottoman empire after the World war

sure, but change is not new III the
country that inherited Mohammeds
religious empire. Paradoxically, Tur-
key, though 1t has tradition of ma
tional inertia, also is q land Of knieii
doscopic reform, and may be said to
react to reforms more discriminate
ingly than any other country In or out
of Christendom. The Turks have
adopted some reforms bodily and some
partially, and have rejected others
ilatly even when the prestige of the
Caliph and .Allah's ministers was be-
hind them.
Turkey began its existence on

Even In the matter Of polygamy,
looked ut askance by the western
world, Mohammed and the government
which took up his mantel were re-
formers. The legal maximum number
of wives was placed at four.
Even the Jokes of coffee and to5ae-
co prohibition that have gone mo

stag, came near being reality in
Turkey. Mohammedan scholars fui-
minated against the steamins cup

Controversy
 On Wages Is
 Still Dragging

Awaiting the outcome of the jitney agitation, which is occupying the at tention of the Connecticut company officials, it is unlikely that the wage scale controversy will be settled for some days. The third party to the board of arbitration has not been chosen.
 In times past when an increase was certain, and conferences have drag ged along for weeks, it has always been understood that any agreement ultimately arrived at would be retro active to June 1, the date the old contract with the conductors and mo- tormen expired.
 This year the matter of a cut is un- der discussion. The company coun- tered the request for a raise with the statement that I5 per cent. cut must be made to put the trolley com pany on the same footing with other industries that have been forced to lower the wage scale.
 In the meantime the men are be- ing paid at the old rate, and if a cut is finally agreed upon, which rumor places in the neighborhood of 12 per cent, it will be interesting to see if this time the retroactive proposition is so popular. If the board of arbi- tration, whose word will be final and official, orders it so, and a cut is also ordered, the men will be shy for number of weeks while the company is catching up with them.
