Seventy new coffee houses open- ed in London's West End alone during the first three months of 1954, com with the "pub" for the affections of the British . One post-war development mainly responsible for the cof fee house revival: more coffee. Early this year the government lifted rationing. is . Three hundred years ago British ale house proprietors, protesting 'unfair competition from "aliens operating coffee houses," tried to have them shut down, says the National Geographic Society. Ae IN ht clubs in many ni clul Piccadilly. Knightsbri e, Soho and Mayfair are closing their doors or services because Eng- lishmen once more gather to im- bibe the coffee brew at nine cents a cup. ee, discovered in ninth cen- tury Arabia, was consumed in the as a medicine, then as a -beverage. The drink reached Lon- don in the early 17th century. In 1652 Sasqua osee opened the first ho in St. Michael's Alley in the Cornhill section. The ingenious Rosee had come to London "as servant of a Turkish merchant, He believed in his prod- uct. He circulated handbills ex- tolling "the vertues of the coffee drink -- it much quickens the spirit and makes the heart lightsome . . . it is good against sore Byes.» ithin 10 The English agreed. irnhing. not alone as a heart-warming bev- erage but as "a cure for the drop- sy, gout and scurvy." a Coffee's curative effect on the body always remained suspect. But as a powerful stimulus to the ton- gue coffee admits of no doubt. For 150 years the coffee house pro- vided a scene for business deals, political® intrigue and literary dis- cussion. One shop. opened in Tower Street in 1686 by Edward Lloyd, gave birth to Lloyd's of London, the world's marine insurance centre. DUBBED PENNY UNIVERSITIES Oliver Goldsmith, Daniel Defoe and Samuel Johnson loved their penny-a-cup sip. Arguing art, liter- ature and current events, they gave to coffee houses such a reput- ation for wit and culture that the term pi universities' ' came into style. The institution so fastened a grip on Englishmen that it once success- fully defied the power of the Crown, Charles II outlawed the houses as the '"'seat of divers false, malicious and scandalous reports to the defamation of His Majestie's Government." A storm of protest went up. The order was rescinded after 11 days. : Oddly, popularity forced disap- pearance of coffee houses. The more handsome establishments, ahogany-paneied and elegantly furnis! turned into private clubs to restrict patronage. Scores of clubs today owe their existence to the bygone coffee house.

At pre- sent a museum displaying arche- once strategic fort. The Secretary of the Interior's order designating this 60-acre tract as a historic shrine recalls the im- portant role Fort Vancouver played in the Pacific Northwest. The Hudson's Bay Company built a log stockade on the north bank of the Columbia River in 1825, when the Oregon Territory was largely an unexplored wilderness, says the National Geographic So- ciety. The company chose the site near the western end of the Ore- gon Trail as headquarters and supply depot for its chain of fur tra which cirtually ruled a 700, square mile area. REFUGE FOR SETTLERS The fort was named for Capt. George Vancouver, a British navi- gator who explored the northwest- ern coast ani the Columbia River in 1792. Missionaries and settlers bound for the Oregon Territory made Fort Vancouver a major destina-4 tion. Wagon trains obtained fresh supplies and temporary shelter there before pushing on to carve new homes from the wilderness. Many settled north of the Colum- bia, a' factor which helped the 101d Fort Vancouver New U.S. Monument Britain had contended' that all land north of the Columbia should be a part of Canada. But the treat: of 1846, establishing the 49th paral- lel as the border, placed Fort Van- couver well inside the United Stat- es boundary. An post was established in June of that year. The army soon built a new camp a few hundred yards north, and changed the posts's name to Camp Vancouver. This was later changed to Camp Columbia, and in 1879 to Vancouver Barracks, its present name. The original Fort Vancouver stockade and buildings were de- stroyed in 1860, but a sketch made by Col.
