Old Port of Rome
Reveals Its Past
___ ... . ..
Excavators at Ostia Bare
Many Tombs and Houses.
Rome.—The excavations being
conducted at Ostia, the ancient
port of Rome, are beginning to
rival, ft least Ir the popular fancy,
those at Herculaneum and Pom
peii. While the two Graeco-Roman
cities of the Neapolitan Campanln
were almost entirely dedicated to
leisure and elegant life, Ostia
thrived with commercial life and
its people were principally manu
facturers, merchants, small capital
ists, clerks and sailors.
“It was a population always on
the move and alert." says the Agen
zla d'ltalla of Rome, “and having
dealings with merchants and brok
ers and travelers coming from
every part of the ancient world.
This explains Ostia's appearance,
very different from Pompeii, with
Its large number of 'Insulae,' which
in ancient Rom. were the type
of houses used by the lower and
middle classes.
Ancient Tombs Unearthed.
"The discovery made a few days
ago In the excnvatlons along the
southern side of Ostia, near the
new ‘motor road’ going to the
Roman Lido, will attract especially
the attention of archeologists. It
consists of a mass of tombs, some
of which seem to go as far back
as the epoch of Augustus and ap
pear to be very singular In their
type and structure. These excava
tions were made on an area of
about 100 meters on one side and
150 on the other.
"A road, Roman paved, shows the
beginning of the newly explored
area, passing along two rows of
buildings recently excavated. A lit
tle further on are some stairs at
the end of whlc) ts a square show
ing on the left side the molding
of a stone monument, on r quad
rangular basis, almost five meters
high. It Is one of the most char
acteristic RomaL tombs of the
Imperial epoch, of a style reserved
for wealthy families.
“In the central part of the aren
excavated, both on the right and
on the left, are cubicles, nearly all
built with curved vaults, with
niches of various sizes cut Into the
walls.
Many Fine Pictures.
“On the walls are remarkable
paintings and stucco. One picture
Is three meters wide and two me
ters high and represents a Hon de
vouring the head of an ojf.
"Painted under the central screen
Is another representing a crocodile,
a boat with two pigmies rawing,
•Iso two ducks, one with ■ pigmy
riding on Its back.
“Another picture, In a niche, rep.
resents a woman sitting In front
of a small table and a human fig
ure with wings. On the right are
a peacock and some other birds
and on the small vault a bird look
ing very much like a crane.
"These pictures are astonishing
ly like those of Lie Empress Lina’s
•nlnfeum’ at 8axa Rnbra. In a
cubicle, enclosed In an urn, are
many animal bones, most probably
sheep bones, belonging presumably
to animals sacrificed according to
pagan rites. Every tomb Is cov
ered with Inscriptions containing
the names of the dead.”

Big Scale Production of
Metals Is Foreseen.
New York.—A new electrochem
ical Industry utilizing desert ores Is
In the making at Boulder dam, ac
cording to chemists, who foresee
large scale production of aluminum,
magnesium, and other metals In
the Southwest.
The completion of the enormous
power houses, promised within a
few months, has raised the question
of electrochemical products made
from ores of the nearby Nevada
Arizona desert wilderness. Never
before has there been a large sup
ply of cheap electric energy any
where near the group of unique
mineral deposits adjacent to the
Colorado river. It is pointed out.
Several products now considered
Indigenous to Niagara falls are pro
posed by C. K. Leith and N. fl.
Eavenson of the bureau of reclama
tion as reasonable for the South
west. These Include aluminum and
magnesium, metals practically ob
tainable only by electrolysis with the
expenditure of vast current loads.
Aluminum alone nlrcndy consumes
over 2,500,000,00o kilowatt hours an
nually In the United States under
normal business conditions.
“Large deposits of alumlte at
Mnrysvale, Utah, within striking
distance, ofTer a promising source
of both aluminum and potnsh In
one enterprise.” Prof. G. Ross Rob
ertson of the University of Cali
fornia. Los Angeles, says In a re
port made public by the American
Chemical society. "Furthermore,

a dead monkey and then substitut
ing a live one, supposed to have
been frozen and thawed out.
Doctor Flshbein, editor of the
American Medical Association Jour
nal, says anybody frozen stiff would
surely die.
It was an Interesting yarn while
It lasted.
New York's strike of union men
against President Roosevelt, Gen
eral Johnson and the YVPA (“Works
Progress administration") seems
temporarily to have collapsed. Mr.
Meany, New York labor leader, said
all union men would go out and
stay out and nonunion men would
follow. The news Is that the non
union men did not follow, and the
union men went back to work.
Robert Moses of the park de
partment, who employs 25,000 work
ers on park projects, reports only
110 deserters.
An Interesting photogrnph from
Addis Ababa shows two servants of
the Ethiopian emperor riding on
lions, one female, one male, in the
palace garden. The emperor’s lions
are trained in this fashion for use
as “watch dogs." You can easily be
lieve that Intruders “keep out.”
For war purposes, however, lions
are not particularly valuable. Tear
gas and deadly poison gas would
discourage the lions, as they would
men, and lions cannot jump as high
as an airplane.
In Chicago’s stockyards half the
hog pens are closed, prices are soar
ing, men have lost jobs, all for lack
of hogs to push around and butcher.
The yards are suffering.
And only a little while ago an
earnest government, determined to
help the farmer and promote pros
perity, was butchering tens of thou
sands of “farrow sows” to get rid
of them before their little pigs
could be born. "Too many little
pigs will make too many big hogs,”
said the government.
You can Imagine the ghosts of a
million pigs floating over the stock
yards, squeaking in their baby
voices, “We told you so.”
War talk continues. Mussolini an
nounces a new air weapon “over
whelmingly powerful,” but does not
say what it is. Plain TNT and poi
son gas are powerful enough.
Hitler announcing that his coun
try is “ready to meet any outside
peril,” adds: “No power on earth
can attack us.” That seems a little
overconfident.
Uncle Sam, with all his spending,
makes a little something for him
self. His money-issuing privileges,
paper dollars worth about 50 cents,
and silver coins containing less than
half their value in silver, have given
the treasury a profit of about $3,
000,000,000.
And at this moment it does not
appear to have hurt anybody. \yho
understands money?
Stocks are better, prices higher, in
London and Wall Street. The Lon
don Daily Mail says: “A stock ex
change boom seems to do more for
world trade than anything. The
renson Is that it gives confidence
everywhere.”
Strange and powerful Is “confi
dence.” You cannot see It, feel it,
weigh it, but you can easily de
stroy it.
Lovely woman, led by Paris fash
ion designers, is still trying to find
out what she really wants. Univer

describe “dresses as transparent as
lace curtains from the knee down;
skin-tight evening gowns with cut
out designs as big ns elm leaves
from under the arms to the hip-line.
Cape coats of white fur, slit wide
open on both sides.” One gown Is
made entirely of "plaited gold
braid.”
When will women settle down
finally to some one style, as men
have done?
Interesting Item in taxation news.
For instnnce, government will col
lect income tax on “public re
lief.” If your generous Uncle Sam
gives you $94 a month, the amount
that unions now spurn, he will take
back $13.12 In Income tax.
That seems like giving your lit
tle boy a stick of cnndy and bit

GOOD LADDERS
WILL CUT LOSS
BY RURAL FIRES
“A good ladder on every farm
would help a lot in lessening losses
from rural fires,” says David J.
Price, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in enumerat
ing small but important precautions
which rural residents often over
look. Doctor Price’s job is to find
out all be can about fire prevention
and fire fighting aud pass the Infor
mation along to the people of this
country. Precautions such as a
handy ladder, he points out, would
help to prevent and control many
fires In rural communities.
Speed Is essential In fire fighting,
and a convenient ladder makes any
roof fire quickly accessible. Fre
quent use of ladders to Inspect chim
neys and flues might prevent many
unnecessary losses, especially dur
ing the winter when fires are going.
Among small precautions other
rhan convenient ladders are care lo
handling gasoline and kerosene, es
pecially in kindling fires; careful
disposal of hot ashes; care In using
open fires and matches and in burn
ing rubbish; repair of Btoves, fur
naces, fireplaces, flues, and chim
neys not In first-class condition; and
frequent inspection of electrical wir
ing and electrical appliances.
Observance of simple precautions,
adequate water-storage facilities on
every farm and at every rural home,
with a well-manned fire truck at ev
ery cross-roads hamlet, is the Utopia
at which Doctor Price hopes rural
America will arrive.
In the meantime, one of his sug
gestions is, to parnpliase, “A farm
fireman’s best friend is his ladder.”
