“Cuba Is All Right, No Need for Worry Over Her,” Says Former President Menocal, Under Whom Island Repub- lic Made Wonderful Prog- tess, and Who Is Here for a Rest. Ex-President Menocal of Cuba is a Guest at the Ritz-Carlton, During President Menocal's term of ‘office Cyba showed fine progress. The Population increased from 2,400,000 to 3,000,000 in the eight Menocal years; 700 automobiles became 18,000; for- eign trade expanded from $230,000,000 to nearly $1,500,000,000. Gen. Menocal is an old friend of the United States. He was graduated from Cornell, is a member of the D. K CE. fraternity, and for fourteen years represented American firms in Hevana. Cuba, under his regime, de- olared war on Germany twenty-four hours after the United States. “Things are going well in my coun- try,” he said to-day. “The new admin- {stration will come out all right. Our @ffairs may seem to you to be in a chaotic state, but no one need worry e@bout the future of Cuba.” Gen. Menocal spoke with est of the convention last year of the D. K. E. fraternity at Havana. The 280 representatives of every American college chapter from Maine to California came there at his invi- tation. During-their three-day stay they visited nearby plantations and were given the privileges of all * Havana clubs) They were well en- tertained, and were able, the Gen. eral admitted, to take a “swift one” if they desired. He entertained his fraternity brothers at the, Presiden- tial Palace. Gen. Menocal is “just resting” after eight turbulent years in office. He ‘will stay in this country until June 9, inter- i | and will thens go to Burope for the rest of the year. eee HERE’S ONE FROM ARKANSAS. “A negro who worked for me in Little Rock,” said Mrs. Rose Winter, a business woman who is at the Astor, “borrowed money on his crop and was unable to pay. I let things slide, but the next year came, and the same man came and asked for another loan. “‘But the old loan hasn't been paid yet,’ I suggested. “No, ma'am, but this year’s crop may be better and I may be able to pay you,’ he replied. ““But that is what worries me,’ I said.’ ‘The new crop may fail also. Aren't you worried about that too?’ “Well, ma'am,’ he admitted, ‘T sure was worried. But if you is worryin’, I won't. They's no use of two of us worryin’, % John McGlynn a the Hotel Rens-!

The early settlers regarded it a dan- gerous thing to drink water in the New World, as water was not popular in’ the countries from which they came, The Dutch were great beer drinkers. Before the first century of English settlement ended, New England had given beer and ele a place beside cider. A libation was poured at every transaction, at every hap- pening in the community; in public as well as private life, drink was taken at the witnessing of contract, the signing of a deed, the selling of a farm, or the arbitration of a mult.
