For German girls: Take hold OF ket-

Take work of any kind, however rig

professional woman. Shop and of

Experiments at Pinehurst. S. c.,
and other places in the South have
proved that some varieties of tea can
be grown successfully In the United
States. The higher cost of the hand
labor required, however, makes 1t
commercially improbable to raise
tea in competition with Eastern
countries. There Is little or no tea
production In United States posses
sions, though Dean G. Worcester
claimed that 1t could doubtless be
grown prohtably on the Philippine
islands. Coffee requires tropical
climate and no part Of the United
States fulfills that condition. Puer-
to Rico raises a good deal of coffee,
and two other United States posses
sions, Hawaii and the Philippines,
raise smaller crops.

Time and Trouble

All of which took time and trouble,
and caused considerable anxiety for
the local officials In some cases all
this required numerous trips to
Washington by the officials concerned,
and often involved their staying for
days on end at Washington hotels.
Once approved the government was
ready not only to advance as a free
gift 80 cents OF every dollar expended
for labor and material, but to loan the
balance of the money to the local gov
eminent at per cent interest.
In few instances cities which had
their allotments approved took the 80
per cent In federal scash, but instead
Of borrowing the rest Of the money
from Uncle Sam made arrangements
to borrow 1t locally. sometimes at low
er interest rates. But these were only
communities. naturally, which had e1-
ceptlonally good credit
Investigation by Secretary Ickes'
force has disclosed that most OF the
cases where the local communities
are permitting their allotments to
lapse result from local controversies
arising after the allotment had
been obtained. Always, of course, pol
illcs enters into every local project.
There will be this group for 1t and
that group against II, partially on the
real merits and dement's of the pro-
posal, and partially for other reasons.

British Military Party
Felt Depression of 1915

II we think depresslons are 1890
upstairs. we need only to take a trip
to Drummond island In the st.
Mary's river and turn back its pages
of history to learn that more than
100 years ago colonel In the Brit
the army, an enthusiastic boomtide
builder, brought about few hard
ships by his dream of cornering
Great Lakes trade, Jack Van Coev-
ering writes, In the Detroit Free
Press.
The facts concerning this episode
were dug up by B. Frank Emery. sec
'etary of the Old Forts and Historic
Memorial association, and had 1t not
been for him, this little story would
remain neglected and almost forgot
ten with the island itself.
Away back In 1915, the year after
Great Britain and Uncle Sam had
made peace, Lieutenant Colonel Nc
Donall, commander of the British
iuit at lCNCiFtd
news that Macklnac had gone to the
Yankees under the treaty. He had
to find a new fort for his country,
and having his mind set on bigger
and better strongholds, he ferried to
Drummond island, which commanded
the traffic of the lakes. Here he
started his building operations, de
spite the fact that the British ex-
chequer sent no cash for the purpose.
By the time the second winter
came, things began to slip. Perhaps
credit became tight. Certainly fresh
meat and vegetables, lime juice, and
even vinegar ran out altogether. The
men contracted scurvy, for they were
subsisting wholly on salt provisions.
Surgeon Mitchell tells that the meats
had become unwholesome, and by the
latter part of June, IA men had died.
John j. Bigsby, who visited the
fort In 1926, Indicates that the de-
preston was beginning to lift, for he
writes of the following menu:
IA small square lump Of highly
sailed beef, bowl of stewed pud-
ding and two dishes Of potatoes were
