tiW THE BEAVER HERALD, BEAVER, OKLAHOMA - . I $ PROMOTE TRADE IN. NEAR EAST Aims of the American Chamber of Commerce for the Levant Are Set Forth. TO OPEN DP IMMENSE FIELD Constantinople Destined to Become the "Chicago of Europe," Says New President of Organization Oppor tunity for American Capital. New York. Constantinople Is des tlnetl to become the "Chicago ot Europe," according to nn Interview Authorized by Mr. Luclon Irving Tliomnsv-a director of the Standard Oil company of New York, which com pany lias extensive Interests through out Asia and the Balkan stntes. Mr. Thomas lately returned from a visit to Europe. "I learned, while in London, that I had been elected president of the American chamber of commerce for the Levant," said Mr. Thomas. "I refer to the newly-organized American section of the chamber, now maintaining headquarters In New York. It will co-operate with the long established chamber of the same name which has Its seat In Constantinople. "The organization of this chamber is a timely movement to promote re ciprocal trade relations between Amer ica and that great area extending from Egypt to Ilussln, and from Per sia to Italy of which Constantinople Is the center. ' Gateway to Vast Empires. "Very few people nppreclato thot Europe and Asia, meet at the feet ot Constantinople," continued Mr. Thom as. "The chain of waters, the Dar danelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorus, "made nvallablo for free commerce, open Uie gateway to vast -empires of populous and fertile terri tories beyond. When wo realize that, Ilussln, a country considerably more than twice as large as tho United States, has few seaports Hint are not ice-bound for the greater port of the year, except those situated on tho Slack Ken, we may lmaglno what enormous trafllc will flow through Con stantinople when Kussln, with a hun dred million of her peoplo nenrby, gets Into her commercial stride." "Then consider Itoumanla, now with twice her former area a country of great natural resources, with a pres ent population of 15.000,000. Bulgaria too, noted for a sturdy and Industri ous population, has her commercial outlet on the niack sea. And even -on the farther sldo ot the Black sen la a group of states which eventually must occupy an Important placo In over-seas trade. "Jugo-Slavla, now vast In area by comparison with Old Serbia, with substantial natural resources and n population of over 14,0OQ.O0O has, of course, one trade outlet via tho Adri atic, and another via tho Danube to the Black sea. Without any doubt the Danube Is soon to play a much more Important part In the trade of tho Balkan states than It has ever done in the past. Has Natural Wealth. "Both Jugo-Slavla and Greater Greece Kill hold a mora Important jiosltlon than now In the Levantlno trade of the future. Egypt Is growing Into a land of commercial significance. While certain territories have been detached from Turkey slnco tho war, there remains much fertile and valu able land. Turkey Is rich In minerals of all kinds. "The wur and its aftermath upset exchange throughout the Near East, nd this has mado commercial trans actions difficult for the present. But the natural wealth Is thero; and a population for tho most part industri ous. Trade must surely grow. "A high official of an International lank, one who Is recognized as having -unusually broad and accurate knowl edge of Ottoman financial matters, stated to me nt Constantinople that in Turkey fully 05,000,000 In gold is hoarded by the people In 'stocking-leg banks,' and not deposited at all with the public bankers. In this connec tion it should bo remembered that the oriental mind Is accustomed to think, financially, In terms of 'hard money,' and that prior to tho European war only gold and silver were In circula tion, to any extent, In Turkey. There is evidence that great prlvnto wealth exists there today, In gold, silver and Jewels, not to mention other valuables, and this wealth will come Into the current market, as trade returns to . normal. "The Levant offers a splendid op portunity for tho Investment of Amer ican capital. In a wide range of en terprises. One of tho great openings of the present Is for the, construction of dwellings, warehouses, harbor Im provements, and so forth. Constanti nople alono has lost 25,000 to 30,000 houses by lire since tho war began, and affords a magnificent opportunity for housebuilding activity. I know for a fact that tho Turkish authorities would welcome anyone coming there for tho purpose and that they would even be glad "to offer concessions. The prevailing spirit Is progressive. Mod - ern Industrial "equipment, too, Is now sought where formerly It was shunned. I recall that a long time ago,, prior to tho coming Into power of the Young Turk party, a business cablegram was intercepted by tho Turkish authorities because It con tained an offer to Import some elec tric dynamos capable of '1,500. revolu tions per minute'.' The wily advlsci of Abdul liamld Is said to have thrown up his hands at the suggostlon and remarked with some heat that Turkey 'bad enough revolutions on her hands at the moment without encournglus theso new-fangled trouble-raisers.' Opportunities Are Great. "Constantinople now has au Inade quate system to provide substantial harbor craft for uso In the waters around Constantinople. People living on tho other side of the Bosphorus lack sufficient facilities for commuting to Constantinople. "The development of roadways on the European side tit tho Bosphorus Is another matter for business enter prise. If tho Bosphorus Is not the most beautiful body of water In the world, I should like to know where It Is to be found. A proper driveway along the shores ot tho Bosphorus would rather tax the memory of a world-traveler to recall anything more charm ing. "Opportunltes for housebuilding and other forms of construction nro open In the other cities ot tho Levant ns well ns In Constantinople. There Is widespread need for railroad construc tion and rehabilitation; while, at the seaports modern docks and wharves and up-to-date freight nandllng equip ment must be provided. "The Levant should become a grow ing market for American machinery and manufactures of all kinds. Im portations from tha Levant must be stimulated, too. In order to Improve the exchange and credit situation so that the Near East can buy more frm America. Tobacco, licorice, valonla, nttar of roses, raisins, currants, dates, figs, goatskins, hides, furs, olive oil. long-staplo cotton, rugs, carpets, nnd oriental oljjcts d'ort are among the Imports coming Into tho United Stntes from tho Levant. It will be the aim of tho American chamber of commerce for the Levant to help cstnbllsh trade connections between responsible mer chants on either side of the. ocean, and to furnish all possible Informa tion and assistance to tlioso engaging In trade In Jhls field." Those In Movement. Officers of the American chamber of commerce, for the Levant Include. In addition to Mr. Thomas, president, the following: Chairman of tho board, Mr. J. M. Dixon of the Tobacco Prod ucts corporation; vice president, Cap tain J. F. Lucey of the Lucey Manu facturing company; treasurer, Donald Frothlngham of tho American Express company; secretary nnd managing di rector, Dr. E. E.

GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES English Dandles Played for High Stakes In the Latter Part of Eighteenth Century. Almack's was one of tho famous old gambling clubs of London. It was at Its height In tho latter part of the Eighteenth century, and the play thero was enormous. It was not uncommon for tho losses In a single night to nmount to upwards of $100,000. The young men, dandles allt who In tended to play set about tho matter with a great deal of ceremony. They wore straw hats with wide brims, flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims Intended to keep tho light from their eyes, and that tho spectators might not see their emotions they often wore masks, They also often took oft their ruffles and silk orsatln coats and wore in their place a rough great-coat or else wound leather bands about their arms to protect tho deltcato lace and hues of their coats from tho soil of the table. At each player's side was a small table that held their tea, wlno cakes and rolls of rouleaus or chips. Most of the players wore long curls, eye glasses mounted on long sticks, were perfumed, powdered nnd painted like court ladles, and some of them even affected a mincing ladylike walk. But those who mado tho error of, thinking them ladylike In their fighting ability mado a mistake that often cost a life, for tho gay young sparks would draw swords at tho drop ot a hat and meet death with a laugh.

During their honeymoon tho New tons read poetry together. "Then would bo so little time to do that wheu they were settled down and James had to hurry so much. And so, during this blissful period, J a met Newton frequently reminded hi charming wtfo that to him food was a mere Incident of llfo. Had not ole Omar said: "Here, with u Lout of Bread beneath tho Bough, A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse and Thou Beside mu singing In tho Wilderness And Wilderness Is Paradise enow." Felicia Newton listened and loved her-lord nil tho moro for his Indiffer ence to tho material pleasures of eat ing nud drinking. But of course there enmo nn end to tho honeymoon, und there was tho exqulslto pleasure of tho return homo to tho new house lu the suburbs, the ltttlo round ot soclnl events, the novelty of getting n hus band off to cutcli tho 8:13 train to town uery morning, and wrestling with tho vagaries of an Incompetent cook. Within one short week after their return homo James Newton hnd ceased to quote Omar Khayyam, and Felicia suspected tcnrtully that ho was yearning for tho flesh pots of his bachelor days. To tell the truth, James was plainly dissatisfied. Com pared to the ruinous food that Biddy served even tho memory of downtown whito-tlled lunchrooms became endear ing. Thero followed days when ho quoted from tho menus ot his quick lunch palaco amid tho skyscrapers, and Felicia for tho first time learned that corned beet hash nnd grlddlo cakes, well cooked, wcro esteemed by her husband oven above tho pcaco und refinement of his own home, whero the tabic was spread with fine, damask, wedding1 silver and a centerpiece of cut flowers. "Dear heart," sighed Felicia, who looked ravishing In a silk negligee with a cobwebby lace cap on her sunny head, "Isn't this heaps nnd heaps bet ter than a lunchroom which looks llko the Instdo ot a refrigerator and all kinds of smelly things cooking around?" James peered Into his cup of weak coffee, stared at tho petrified hot "bis cuits." sniffed at tho creasy platter of blackened bucon nnd pushed back his chair. "I'm hungry, Follcln," he said In a strained tone. "Honcst-to-goodness hungry for food I Can't you firo tho cook and get another one, darling?" "I will send her nwny today, Jim my," said Felicia meekly; "hut I am afraid I cannot get another one. I tried tho other day nnd Miss Mlnchln said nil sliu had was a girl who had worked In a lunchroom James Now ton," ns his faco brightened, "would you rather eat In that horrlblo whlto p-pl-pla-placo than In our lovely din ing room?" "I'vo got to cat somewhere, some how, dear I I ennnqt cat Biddy's burned stuff. I cannot survive long on tho lovely tnblo appointments or browse on tho bunch of fiowers, enn I? Of courso not good-by, honey; I'll havo to race for that train after nil." So Jim raced for tho train ns ho did every morning, and Felicia stood on tho front porch and wnved her hand until ho was out of sight. Then she turned back Into tho houso and sank down on tho couch In tho living room. "Hurry I Hurry I Hurry I nil the time," she grouned. "James wants his food prepared hero so ho can cat and run Id tho morning and eat and sit down nnd road at night and I'm going to give It to him." First, she cried, which cleared the atmosphere considerably. Then she went Into tho kitchen, paid Biddy In lieu of a month's notice nnd let that damsel go. Then she telephoned to Miss Mlnchln to send along tho girl who had worked In a lunchroom. The rest of tho day she spent shopping In town and working foverlshly In the pretty, white-enameled kitchen with thp new girl, whoso efficiency was somewhat dozed by her young mis tress' astounding proposition. Meanwhile, James has reached the lunchroom of his cholco and enters to eat griddle cakes and coffeo and bacon and eggs. From the bottom of his heart he loathes the wholo tribe of grlddlo cake bakers. During his bachelorhood he hari snatched hasty breakfasts and luncheons from theso white tables nnd ho had hoped that he wns dono with them forever. Now ho braced himself for tho ordeal, en tered nnd enjoyed n hearty meal. Besldo Biddy's wreckage of food this wos nectar nnd ambrosia. At noon ho bolted down another meal with less enthusiasm, and ho began to look forward to tho evening with lis daintily-appointed dinner tablo and qucstlonablo viands. Tho roast would be dverdono nnd tho pie under done, but thero was Felicia und homo and quiet. Evening carao nnd homo onco more, ho paiiDed In tho front hall and sniffed -tho air. Whnt was that stilling, fa miliar smell? Grlddlo cakes I With darkened brow ho entered the .(lining room, It was dark and there was no sign of dinner. Ho opened the. kitchen door and stopped thero, dumh with amazement. Somo weird trans formation had taken place, A torse screen hid tho cooking range, but In the mlddlo of tho floor was a largo whlto enameled table and la ono cor ner was a smalt square one, with a chair before It. On the small table was n glass stand heaped with folded paper napkins, a big sugar bowl of a familiar vnrlety, pepper and salt Blink ers and a typewritten menu card. Felicia was garbed In white, with a large whlto apron, nnd thero wns a gllmpso of a grinning maid similarly attired. Hero In his own adored home was the atmosphcro of tho hated lunchrooms, and there was a crudo sign on tho wall, "Watch your hat and overcoat." Felicia enn'o and pecked his check. "Isn't It great? So easy to prepare things, so easy to servo and so easy for you to cat, dear. Hurry, now, and sit down. Oakly Ilansomo has tele phoned for you to meet him at tho station nt 7:10 and go Into town to somo new show, and you can mako It If you hurry 1" "Hurry I" How James hated tho word. Ho smiled feebly and loked at tho card Felicia gnvo him. She had been faithful to detail and had not omit ted ono of tho standard dishes fa miliar to tho peripatetic luncher-out. "Grlddlo cakes," ordered James sport lngly. James did not cat much, though tha now girl was a very good cook; ho was very thoughtful as ha finished tho last leathery bit of plo and, leav ing a tip on tho table, he went out ot tho room. But thero wns n discour aged droop to his shoulders nnd thero was no sign of hurry In his gait. Fe-' llcln wntched him anxiously as ha went Into tho library and, calling Oak ly Itausomo up, he told htm ho could, not go Into town. Ho sat 'down to rend tho evening paper, when Felicia enmo In, attired In ono of her charm ing frocks. Sho kissed him nnd called him "dear old Omar," and ho did not smile until tho new maid demurely, nnuounced dinner and Felicia laugh ingly dragged him Into tho dining; room to tho dainty table set for din ner. Tho meal was delicious ana; James cared not that Felicia lectured him all the way through on the evils ot hurried eating. ."I've got to hurry now," ho said; "sho probably won't last long." "She's going to stay forevor," prom Isod Felicia wistfully, and then her, husband stopped eating and smiled tenderly nt her. "I can't help lovin you better when I'm not hungry," he confessed as he kissed her con tentedly.
