Of Conduit road for street improve

The American embassy is preparing

chamber of Commerce. The Depart
ment Of State has sent a request for
full information.
The Turkish government order
which became effective Thursday,

commerce are illegal. The minister
Of commerce has stated that foreign
business interests will he permitted
TO form an association or society bu.
that the only Chamber of Commerce
which will be allowed in Turkey is the
Turkish Chamber.
The drastic action of the Turkish
government, which affects six other
chambers besides the American one,
is holding keen interest for American II
and other foreign commercial circles,
where it is pointed out that this is
the first instance OF a nation sup
pressing the Chamber of CommerCc
Of another power. Business circles

Replacing the Chestnut.
the philadelphia Public Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Public ledger.
While one class of experts have
been seeking a remedy for the blight
which has wrought such ravages
upon the chestnut trees over large
areas in the United States, others
have been laboring in another direc-
ton. According to correspondent
in the Island Of Ma jorca, in the Medi-
terranean, an unnamed Chicago mil
lionaire has been giving serious con-
temptation to the possibility of intro
ducing from that island the sweet
acorn as a. substitute for the vanished
chestnut trees. Whether this can be
accomplished by the importation Of
sa plirgs or by the grating Of healthy
American chestnut stock upon young
Majorcan sweet acorn trees Is not
yet decided. The Majorcans eat the
acorns as we eat chestnuts. finding
them entirely without the bitterness
of the fruit of the American oaks.
