The History Of Coffee

to the Venetians in 1915, the French
in 1914, the English and VienneSe
in 1850, and it was brought to North
America in 1868 But promptly the
power Of the beverage to stimulate
clear thinking and plain talking con-
verted the popular coffee houses into
discussion clubs And political de-
bate that exploded into dissension.
direct action and resistance made
coffee houses the targets of tyrants
like Charles II Of England, who
termed them Seminaries of sedltion.
But, according to Disraeli, London
and Paris coffee houses of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries held
the mirror to the manners, the
morals and the politics of a people"
Here IN colonial United States, too,
the coffee house became the meeting
house of the town fathers, and after
time changed from purely social
centers to focal points Of merchant
trade and political discussion Daniel
Webster called Boston's Green
Dragon Coffee House the headquar-
tiers of the American Revolution"
The Dutch took the coffee plant to
South America back around l7l9,
with result that every sixth grader
knows. Today's coffee plantations in
Pan-America produce three-fourthS
of the worlds coffee. And because
we are the worlds greatest coffee
drinkers, of course we're the biggest
customers for the Pan-American
yield. All previous invoices were
topped in 1945, when the United
States imported 2O,279,69O bags Of
coffee, each containing 1872 poundsi

The fragrant cup of coffee which
makes us civil every morning and
renews us so often during the day
links many nations in a long and
romantic history. Just when it first
appeared as a beverage no one can
say exactly. But that it was an Ara
bian discovery seems very likely in
view of the fact that coffee grew
wild in that part of the world before
the ninth century after Christ, and
fanciful Arabian nights tales have
oeen handed down about the first
crew.
The most popular legend concerns
kaldi, an Arabian goatherd whose
dull life on the hillside made him a
gloomy Joe indeed But he picked
and ate some of the berries his goats
were fond Of nibbling. because he
noticed that after eating these ber-
rieS, the goats became gay creatures.
Kaldi himself became a new man.
Thereafter coffee berries were indis-
pensable to his diet, and so caretree
and lively did he become that he
often joined his goats in a merry
dance.
A monk, to whom Kaldi conided
his experiences, prepared a drink
from the beans and served it to the
members of his order. They found
the beverage sustained their energy
and helped them to pray and medi
tate longer, so they adopted the drink
and cultivated the plant
Gradually the popularity of the
beverage spread to Turkey, where,
in 1854, the first public coffee house
was established. II was introduced

Maryland Jury Ruling on Law
Held UnconstitutionuIinDi in Divorce

States where juries rule on the law
involved as well as the facts. AS a
result, judges have long refrained
from instructing juries as to the
law in criminal cases.
Jack Slansky, 20, of Greenbelt
Md. was sentenced to 18 months last
June when a Prince Georges County
Circuit Court jury found him guilty
of bigamy. The Maryland jury ruled
in effect that Slansky's Nevada
divorce was no good.
After six weeks residence in Reno
Slansky was granted an uncontested
absolute divorce on April 20. 1916
from his first wife, Mrs. Sima Lerma
Slansky of Alexandria. Va. Six days
later he was married to Juliet War
mack, 27, at Hyattsville. He was
arrested and indicted in April, 1948
on bigamy charges brought by his
first wife.
Slansky is free under $1,000 bond

that the gun, the ak and the match

reason, he'said, Is the use of modern,
complex farming operations which
have narrowed the habitat Of wild

ply of wild animals and taken away
their protective covering, propo-
eating areas and resting Sites"
