Guatemala's Banana Crop
Is Always Picked Green

In Guatemala there are thousands
OF acres of banana plantations, so
many of them that banana raising
is one of the major industries of
Central America, writes Martha M.
Wendt in the Chicago American.
Each banana plant in cultiva-
ton has a "child plant" beside it
to take up the work where the
mother" left off. Eight months
time is required for a "stem" or
bunch of bananas to mature, and
each plant bears but one stem.
The plants are cut down by the
natives with machete, and the
bunch of bananas cut off.
Bananas are always picked green.
The stems" are placed standing
in the refrigerated compartments of
the ship, instead Of being laid one on
top of the other. Some ships carry
more than $4,000 punches of ban
anas, which are distributed to all
parts of the world.
After they arrive at their destina-
ton, they are carefully handled by
trucks or refrigerator trains, until
they finally reach the market or the
corner grocery store, where they
are allowed to ripen fully.

History of London Runs
as Far Back as AZ A. ID.

London, the greatest city in the
world, lies so miles above the mouth
OF the River Thames, spreading
over both its banks. It has an area
OF 69S square miles and a popula-
ton Of more than 5000, 900. London
IS really the mother city of the
British empire, and it would take
the visitor weeks to view all the
sights in the grand old city, which
dates back so far that there isn't
a recorded time when there wasn't
London. The Roman legions were
there in A. D. 43.
The British metropolis is but IL
hours by rail from Southampton.
London has always been the work
shop of Great Britain's literary
lights. There toiled Shakespeare,
Chaucer, Coleridge, Defoe, Dickens,
Dryden, Gibbon, Goldsmith, John
son, Keats, Lovelace, Marlowe,
Milton, Raleigh, Shelley, Thacke-
ray, and scores of the men and
women who built the sturdy foun-
dalton of literary England. Many
of the houses connected with the
lives of these great writer's will
stand.

Ancient Derbies and Plugs

In the eighties the lining of the So
derby or the Sc plug often decided
its selection. There were wonderful
red, blue, orange, green, and pink
satin Innings with the hatter's name
stamped thereon in gold and every
purchaser likewise was entitled to
his initials in gold letters gummed
inside. A very popular hat was the
pearl gray "plug" worn with gray
frock coat. The white plug was
greatly in favor with the political
clubs and brown derbies reigned in
different shades from soft fawn to a
rich crimson color.

Temperature of Ice

Water (H2O) gives up heat as
the temperature drops. At 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit it becomes ice.
But ice can be Of any temperature
below 80 degrees, and as the sur
rounding medium drops in tenn
perature the ice will continue giving
up heat to this medium. Ice at a
temperature below freezing point
will last longer (under the same con-
ditions) than ice at 80 degrees. It
will continue to absorb heat from
the surrounding medium without
melting until the temperature rises
to 80 degrees, when melting will
take place.

Medieval Gilds, Archers
Conduct ColorfuI Fetes

Twice each year, Wise, a quiet
little city on the border of Belgium
and Holland, decks itself in festive
array and holds celebrations remi-
niscent of medieval times. It's Gid
of the Arquebusiers holds a fete,
while the Gid of the Free Argue
busters make merry a week later,
states writer in the Boston Globe.
Even though the arquebus, a
Sixteenth century gun, which pre-
ceeded the musket, went out of use
about 1870, its carriers in this city,
the arquebusiers, have kept up their
ancient gilds and today membership
in them is still looked upon as a
mark of distinction. Twice annually
they turn back the calendar 400
years and stage these celebrations
with all the color of the Middle
Ages.
Other Belgian cities as well as
Wise preserve gilds and contests
that date from medieval times. Just
as colorfm as the Fetes of the Ar
quebusiers are the archery contests
still held throughout the year in
Bruges by the Archers' Company
of San Sebastian. Once made up of
men who formed the bodyguard of
the Counts of Flanders, this COM
pany still prides itself that Charles
II of England visited it's tower in
1856 and wrote his name in its gold
en- book. His brother, the Duke of
Gloucester, even tried his hand at
the bow there and left behind a sill
yer arrow, still the show pieces Of
the tower.
About so men take part in the
tournaments, wearing white jackets
and shooting from a bandstand at
the back of the tower. Their target,
a clay pigeon on pole above the
building, is hard one to hit, and
on windy days it sometimes hap
