ECUADOR .PINEAPPLEs HUGE
They Grow to Weight Of Twenty-Five
Pounds in. The Province Of
Esmeraldas.

Ecuador Is fast becoming great
fruit-grOwing country. said Frank Ed
ward Kink of Esmeraldas, Ecuador. to
the New York Times
"Pineapples grow to weight of %
pounds in the province Of Esmeral-
das," he declared. "This is about
twice the size of the pineapNes grown
in Hawaii and shows that we must
have very superior soil. Moreover,
there is no place, in the world that
produces such large, thin-skinned,
seedless oranges.
indications are that the province
has also a considerable wealth in oil.
There are great number of Oil seep-
ages which would indicate great pro-
duction of high-gravity oil. The char
acter Of this oil is higher than the IA
nous Pennsylvania Oil. and has been
produced in Ecuador for the last 800
years. but it is only recently that mod
ern machinery has been used for drill
ing, with excellent success. One month
ago an English company brought in a
well of 800 barrels an hour of 80 grav-
ity Oil. These conditions combine to
encourage immigration, which Is stead
lily increasing in Es,neraldas."

Yueatan Likes Wheat Bread.

Corn tOrtilla, for ages the favorite
bread of Yucatecans, is threatened by
a modern competitor. Little baking
Is done in the homes Of Yucatan, the
frying pan being the standard imple-
ment Of cookery. The simple but
wholesome Mexican tortilla is an ar
ticle Of general diet, but wheat bread
is now being widely consumed. The
wheat bread supply of the entire pen
insula Of Yucatan originates in
bakeries and consists principally of
long, sour. French loaves. According
to Consul o. G.. Marsh of ProgresO
about four years ago progressive
Yucatecan opened modern bakery in
Merida equipped with American ma
chinery and using American fresh
yeast. This bakery enjoys remarkable
success. A great variety Of rolls, bis
cults, ETC., raised with baking powder
and containing lard and sugar are pur-
chasable.

TIME TO VIEW WIN ALARM
startling Exploit 81 Pennsylvania olrI
Whose Fianee Was In the
Sheriff's Custody.

Had an Oppenheim, Chambers or
McGrath written tale few years
ago of girl who forced her way into
. sheriff's home and then, single-hand-
ed, freed her fiance from the nearby
jail with the aid Of the keys and q re-
volver she obtained in her housebreak.
Ing, readers would have been amused
at the idea q girl could do such a
thing.
But truth continues to make fiction
look silly. And times have changed.
The Warren (Pa.) girl who did that
thing is a type that the writer's Of
sh0ckers have not caught up with as
yet. There are policewomen and
women deputy sheriffs todayLalso girl
state both enforces the laws and
breaks them. No task is too much for
her.
II the facts in this case were a they
are told. here was love laughing at the
locksmiths and the sheriff and all the
embattled array of the forces Of law
and order. That's the way the movie
scenario writer's would look at 1t.
Many other persons will take that In
judicial attitude toward the exploit Of
this lass, too.
But are not the ladies going bit
too far? Nobody, not even judges and
juries, have objected very strenuously
so far to women shooting up their hus-
bands at odd times, even to their
shooting up other peoples husbands.
But If they are to be permitted to
break open the jails to get their
chosen ones out Of durance, of what
use will be jails or policemen or laws.

FRENCH LIBEL SUIT
 GETS UNDER WAY TODAY
Senegalese Deputy is Bringing Action Against Newspaper, Les
 Continents.

Paris, Nov. 24,--The libel suit brought by the Senegalese deputy, M. Diagne, against the newspaper Les Continents, of which Rene Mar an, the negro author is the editor, got under way today, but Georges Clemenceau who, it was expected, would appear as a witness, was not present. Instead a letter was read from Georges Mandel, formerly Clemenceau's right hand man in the ministry Of war.
 It was made plain today that the libel suit was not brought against NJ. Maran personally, but against the newspaper of which he is the editor. NJ. Maran is appearing only as & witness. NJ, Diagne charges that the newspaper accused him edtorially of having received a certain sum for each soldier enlist ed in Senegal during the war He was then high commissioner for the recruiting of black troops.
 M. Mandels letter, in defending M. Diagre, took occasion 10 vent se- were criticism on the Tigers" en- enies.
 The letter stated; "Doubtless it has been the custom for some time sys- tematically to belittle and insult whoever collaborated with the Clem- snceau ministry's patriotic work in saving the country. Therefore, there is no reason why N. Dlagne should not be so treated in his turn But 1t is particularly painful, and seems most ignoble. that the accusation was made without the slightest ap- pearance Of justification against a man who only served his country without asking or receiving a re. ward"
 NJ. Mandel added that, although NJ, Diagne was his political sdver- | sary. he knew the charge made against the latter by the newspaper was false. He said that NJ. Diagne had been chosen for his post be. cause Of his great influence among 1 Africans and that he had refused to accept even the Legion c' Honor for the success of his mission,
