u 1<What manner of man is the mod
ern Greek?" is a question of paramount
interest in view of recent developments
on Saloniki front where
King Constantin's subjects are hourly
expected to be drawn into the allEurope
conflict. A striking pen picture
of the habits of thought and life
of the modern Hellene is given in v
v.ar geography bulletin of the Nation
a! Geographic Society, based on a
communication to the society from
George Higgins Moses, formerly
United States minister to Greece.
Mr. Moses says:
The ancient Athenian democracy
has projected itself well-nigh intact
into the life of Greece as it is today.
Class distinctions are unknown. Titles
4of nobility arc forbidden by the constitution
even though every native of
Corfu claims to be a Venction count.
The Crown Prince is known only as
the Diadochos, or Successor. Neither
wealth nor education hinders the association
of all upon terms of the
most absolutely equality.
While the great ladies of Athens
have an active social career, Greek
women, generally speaking, have no
individuality. At parties the women
generally ".it apart, while in the country
they are almost never to be found

at table if guests are present, and
upon them falls the greater portion
of the labor of the household. Following
the plow, harvesting and working
upon the roads are common employments
for the Greek peasant woman.
Unmarried, her parents and her broth |
ers control her conduct, and a hus- j
band means merely a change of masters
for whom she toils while he sits
av ease. An improvement, however, is
gradually developing. The Greek,
much more than some of his Balkan |
neighbors, has outgrown the notion
that the sole occupation fit for a man
is warfare. Through schools endowed1
and under royal patronage; through '
other enterprises, and especially j
through the demands of modern business
life, new avenues for employment
and advancement are opening
for women, and in another generation
it is altogether likely that the women
of Greece will be found with
their sisters of the West demanding
as rights what they now regard as
great privileges.
Education in Greece is overdeveloped
at the top. The frame work of
the public school system is excellent,
but the teacher's profession is held in
slight repute and fails to attract
either men or women of commanding
ability.
The Greeks, externally at least, are
a deeply religious people, and the
feasts and fasts are rigidly observed.
When a Greek fasts he fasts in earnest,
almost his soul nourishment being
a course soup of black beans,
palatable and nutritious, but likley to
I prove most monotonous after 40 days.
I Greek labor, though extremely well'
organized, is meagerly paid, day lab-1
orers receiving no more than three
drachmae a day (a little less than f>0
cents), while skilled labor in the
trades will average hardly more than
twice as much. Carpenters, masons
and mechanics generally use the most
primitive of implements; yet the
amount of work which they perform
in a day is astonishing. The guilds,
or corporations, which correspond to
to our labor unions, embrace practically
all the manual pursuits.
The Greek of today, especially in
the country, is the most hospitable of
modems. The best room in the
house, the choicest tidbits at the table;
all the resources of the family, indeed

y is giving- away. They are
11 both secure a free season
are freely at the disposal of the passa
ing stranger, without thought or de-,
sire of payment; and it is only by
means of some subterfuge, such as
asking the whole family to drink to
one's health, that one is able with dif?
ficulty to press money upon a host
who has denied himself to make his
guest comfortable.
Because of the great number of
Greeks who have returned from Am- i
erica, English is often heard, and few !
travelers in the Peloponnesus will fail
to recall at almost every railroad station
the eager face thrust in at the
carriage window and quivering with
the demand, "You fellers from Americe?"
The curiosity thus manifest
in a friendly spirit is typical of the
modern Greek, and one traveler recounts
an experience at the provincial
capital of Amhissa where 29 people
gathered and hung with eager interest
upon the bargaining as he
haggled for three lemons for 19 lepta,
a little less than 2 cents.
The extent to which immigration
has affected life in the smaller towns
is shown in the typical case of the village
of Megara, on the bay of Eleusis,
where the Easter dancing was
once rated as a famous marriage
mart, but which has lost that distinction
for, so many of the young men
have gone off to America that the
maidens now sigh alone. Time was
when these men, having accumulated
the 10,000 drcahmae ($2,000) with
which they might pass as rich at
home, came back to open a little shop
and end their days in the semi-indolence
of fitful merchandising.
Hut at length so many had follow-;
ed in this course that some of
villages in southern Greece had come I
to be like that island in the fable of
our childhood, where the inhabitants)
lived by taking in each other's washing.
So scanty indeed have become
these opportunities that I remember
one occasion when a steamer came in
j with 800 Greeks on board who, having
"made their pile" in the States I
had come back to sunny Hellas, but
after visiting their native villages
and seeing how meager were the rewards
to be gained, 400 of them
promptly took passage back to New
York by the same ship.

Standards for Climax baskets for
grapes, other fruits, and vegetables,
and other typos of baskets and containers
used for small fruits, berries,
and vegetables in interstate commerce,
are fixed by an act approved
1 r\ * * * ^ 4 A
oy tne rresiaent August ssi, iun>.
The law will become effective November
: !917.
The effect of the act will be to require
the use of tho standards in
manufacturing, sale, or shipment for
all interstate commerce, whether the
containers are filled or unfilled. A
large part of the traffic in fruits and
vegetables in this country enters interstate
commerce. The law relates
only to the containers and will not
affect local regulations in regard to
heaped measure or other method of
filling. A special exemption from tho
operations of the law is made for all
containers manufactured, sold, or
shipped, when intended for export to
foreign countries, and when such containers
accord with the specifications

the shipment is destined.
Standards of three capacities are
| fixed for Climax baskets?2, 4, and 12
I quarts, dry measure. These contain*itrs,
often known as "grape baskets,,"'
! have relatively narrow, flat bottoms,
rounded at each end, and thin sides
flaring slightly from the perpondicular.
The handle is hooped over at the
middle from side to side. In addition
to fixing the capacities of these stand
ard baskets of this type, the law also
prescribes their dimensions..
The other standards are for "baskets
or other contaniers for small
fruits, berries, and vegetables." Thev
are to have capacities only one-half |
pint, 1 pint, 1 quart, or multiples of
1 quart, dry measure. Such containers
may be of any shape so long as
their capacities accurately accord.
with the standard requirements.
