Let our souls grow ever purer,

ECUADOR DOING
 BIG BUSINESS
Demand for Chocolate in U. s.
 Is Reason

New York, March ao. -- Ecuador is making A complete commercial comeback, the foreign trace coun- ell reports, wholly because Of the popularity in tho United states of chocolate. covered ice cream con fections.
 The sudden vogue here for ice cream served in a chocolate packet, the council says, placed chocolate overnight ot new premium inc world over. This rc-cstab'ished the demand for Ecuodor's staple aeri- cultura product cacao, from which the highest grade bitter chocolate romcs, and lifted that country out of financial depression.
 The chocolate boom, the council says, proved lucky for the United States as well as Ecuador for it re- stored to the former one of its good customers of five years ago. Com merce between countries being a simple matter Of give and take, Ecuador IS now spending is choco- late rouey freely hero again, not ably for our player pianos
 That Ecuador plays" when, as and it the United States "eatS," does not constitute a comparison Of tastes in the two countries, the council adds, so much as it reveals anew that foreign trade, after all, Is pretty human.
 Coufcctioners in the United States prefer the Ecuador grade of bitter chocolate both for its flavor and be- cause it takes lot of sugar, and thus enables them to market their sugar at the higher price of candy according to the council,
 Ecuador's principal competitor is the Congo, but the African cacao is called mildcr and is said to run second with the candy trade. When the World war shut off deep sea transportation the Congo's output was blockaded, to the advantage of Ecuador, but it meanwhile piled up in such volume that when ocean communication was opened again after the war it came in a flood and broke the market. Ecuador found i-s own cacao selling at a loss or not at all, and trade there was brought to temporary standstill.
 In 1920, before the break came, figures show that Ecuador was sell ing it's products in the United States at an annual rate Of s12,- 244,00O, which gave it the money 10 buy American products at rate of $14,4S0,OOO. The mutual effect of the slump there was shown in figures for 1921, when Ecuador's exports 10 the United States fell almost 75 per cent to only $3,541, ,O00. and it's imports dropped more than e per cent, to s5,260,00

ANTI-TOBACCO FIGHT

London. March 20. - Some Of the first books ever published on tobacco, for and against it's use, are to be sold in March when the Brit well Court library will be offered to the highest bidders.
 The defense of tobacco is repre- scnted by a copy of book which came to light in 1902 entitled "Dr, Bellamys New and Short Defense of Tobacco" Attacks on the use of the newly discovered weed for smoking purposes were frequent in those days and simultaneously with Dr. Bellamy's defense, there ap- peared another book, Work for Chimney Sweepers,' designed as a warning to tobacco users. In this work consumers were informed that 1t was "bctter 10 be chokt with English hemp than poisoned with Indian tobacco"

THE BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN

| Rarely does growing city
reach out its tenacles of new
factories and dwellings and en-.
compass an entire battlefield.
Yet this happened in Philadel,
phia, and the battlefield within
a city" will be one of the attrac.
tions to the many visitors to the
Sesquicentennial International
Exposition which opens there
on June /. 1926.
During the Revolutionary war,
in the history of which Philadel.
phia played such q prominent
part, the British Army went in
to encampment at Germantown,
at that time q small village
few miles to the north. The
town consisted of quaint stone
buildings, stretched along two
miles of an old road that in the
days of William Penn had been
q cow path.
It was the Autumn of 1777-76,
and the British had just descend.
ed upon and occupied Philadel.
phia, where the Declaration of
independence had been signed q
year before.
Just prior to going into his
historic winter encampment at
Valley Forge, Washington with
II 900 troops swept down on the
British and totally surprised
them. He had almost the entire
British army beating hasty re
treat when an odd incident hap
pened that turned almost certain
victory into humiliating defeat.
Six companies of fleeing Brit.
ish infantrymen sought refuge
in a huge stone mansion. They
barricaded the doors and prepar
ed to fight while their ammuni
ton lasted. But the advancing
Colonial troops, flushed with
possibility Of a quick victory,
passed the house and pushed
forward after the retreating Brit.
ishers.,
Later, when Washington or.
dered reinforcements up from
the rear, these fell upon the
house and attempted to dislodge
the force within.
The sounds of firing in the
rear struck terror in the hearts
of the patriots who had gone
ahead. Officers and men alike
became possessed with the idea
that they had been surrounded
by a strong British force, and
they began to fall back. Soon
the entire Continental Army was
ia retreat.
The Chew House, the mansion
in which the British infantrymen
took refuge, still stands. It is
now q museum and contains
many objects of historical inter
est connected with the battle.
Its heavy stone walls still are
marked from the volleys of Con.
tinental bullets fred against it
in the vain effort to dislodge the
enemy.
Today the entire battlefield of
Germantown is within the built
up limits of Philadelphia. The
Chew House and a few of the
other stone buildings of the or.
iginal settlement are the only
ones that have withstood the
advance of modern building.
