HAS HELD BACK PROGRESS
Why Coffee May Be Considered Both
as a Blessing and Curse
TO Guatemala.

Guatemala, which has been econom-
ically and In a military sense one Of
the most powerful OF the five Central
American states ever since II was the
seat of the old Spanish yiceroyal gov
eminent for the entire region, is a
country both blessed and cursed by
coffee.
Coffee Is blessing to Guatemala in
that 1t has brought much money into
the country and has made the planta-
tion-ownlng class exceedingly pros
porous.
Coffee, too, may he considered in a
sense curse 20 Guatemala because
its production dominates every other
activity In the republic, and is the in
direct reason therefore for failure to
develop most Of the country's other
resources.
Though the plateau country Of the
southwest apparently could be made
TO produce wheat, -four Is imported, A
number of other food products that
could be produced are also brought In
from outside.
Cotton could be grown on large
areas but only comparatively small
amount Is produced. The greater part
of the cotton cloth and yarn needed
Is imported. The raising of cattle and
sheep, the growing of almost all trop-
lcal, semi-troplcal, and temperate zone
fruits, and mining, are all industries
that could be developed most profit
ably.

THE CONQUEST OF NEW YORK.

II is estimated by the Police Commits
sioner that further appropriation of
So, 100000 will be required by the Pc i
lice Department in order to provide
the additional patromen needed to en-
force the State Prohibition Law i'll
New York City.
1t is estimated by the City Cham |
berla;n that If arrests continue at the |
present rate and jury trials are de- |
manded it will require a new appro
priation OF s24,0O0.O0O to meet the
situation.
This will be inspiring reading for the
/ harassed taxpayer. but he must treat
il in philosophical spirit New York
City is conquered province, and con
quered provinces are always required
i to pay. In this respect New York
City is quite like the German Rhine
Iprov noes which are obliged under the
treaty to maintain the army of occu-
patton.
There IL one important distinction,
however. The inhabitants of the occu
pied districts on the Rhine are allowed
a much larger measure OF personal
liberty than that accorded to the con-
quered people of New York City.
The troops do not interfere with Their
orderly habits Squads OF soldiers are
mot sent into restaurants to smell the
lcups and glasses in order to determine
whether anybody is eating something
that he is forbidden to eat or drinking
something that he is forbidden to
DIR nix. No German for example would
+ be arrested for the crime OF going into
house and bringing glass of stimuli
ants to British or French or Ameri-
}, can soldier who protested to be ILL.,
In these respects all the advantages
- are with the German OF the occupied
zones as compared with citizen OF
New York. He can go about his private
affairs undisturbed by the army occu
tpation. His breath is not matter OF
military suspicion, and If bottle OF
beer is found in his possession, the
: troops do not put on him the burden
of proving that he Is innocent OF crime
. Moreover, if Otto in Coblenz happens
to vic. ate military order on property
that is owned by Hans the troops dom
put lien on Hanss property and
cloud the title. They are much more
reasonable than the army that is rul
ing New York. but this may be due tC
the fact that military law, on the
\ whole. seems to be less arbitrary thar
the statute law imposed on this ct!
by the LEGISLATURE.
There is another difference, too
which cannot be dsregarded. In tn
Rhine provinces the troops are unde
orders to annoy the inhabitants a
little as possible, while in New Yorl
4 City the annoyance of the inhabitant
is one Of the chief objects of the man
pulaters of the States police power
The more the inhabitants are bedt
4 vi led the more salutary the acts OF tn
Legis ature are assumed to be. Tha
this syatem of government does nc
2 result in widespread disorder must b
E ascrbed to the fact the people {
New York City are more docile tina
Ok the Germans OF the Ri ne province
and will patiently endure muc
larger measure of oppression in the
: personal affairs.
Thus the conquest Of New York
,r Ieven more complete than the conqueS
of the Rhine proyincess New Yor

SHRIMP DANCE WILL
SOON BE EXTINCT
Modern Marketing Puts Stop to Gro
tesque Dance Of New
Orleans Natives.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 9TH
Due to the iaroads of modern machin-
cry. the shrimp dance" one of the
picturesque bits of routine that for
years has marked the work on the
shrimp drying platforms along the
Louisiana south coast, this year goes
into the lumber room of memories, to
join other quaint customs OF bygone
years.
Machinery hereafter will chuck" the
sun dried shrinps.
To the tourists who have ventured
down into the wilderness Of lowlying
marshes, where the shrimp platforms
gather in the cargoes of the trawlers,
the shrimp dance" has even been
colorful memory.
Boiled in salt water in great copper
watts. dried n the sunshine to rubbery
resilency, the shrimp have been swept
up into huge circles in the past years.
Then, while guitar or banjo or aecor-
deon walled ao7 ~1unkad a dancing
strain in a weird minor key, the hus
platform worAers nanas on hips, have
shuffled soufflingly over the circular
piles OF shrimp Beneath their tread
the brittle shells cracked into frag-
ments.
Following the dance the pinlxish
shrimp meat was shoveled through
great screens. the brittle shell frag-
ments falling through, while the piles
of dried flesh were packed In barrels.
The shrimp industry in Louisiana
has grown to greater proportions than
is generally known. During the season
Of 1920. 20,716 persons were supported
by the Industry more than one million
dollars were invested in shrimp fleets.
