The stages by which the picture
writing o* -arly Crete developed into
an elaborate system of hieroglyphs
and ’hence into the linear script, with
w h ch the Knossian tablets are for
the most parr covered, are fairly well
marked With a keen and practical
p« pie the necessity of simplifying a
cumbrous hieroglyphic system for
everyday needs would be apparent,
('ertainli The Minoan script appears
to be much simpler than the cunei

theless. the old system and the new
tip;-ear to have flourished side by side,
and perhaps to some extent in coti
.ut ctior. until M moan culture was de
<trvTyed or displace b> the new in
habitants of Crete
Perhaps the most famous of the
Cretan hieroglyphic inscriptions is
that of the " Phaestos disc " The disc
ts a roughly circular clay plate about
€ C7 Inches in diameter, covered on
bo til faces with a hieroglyphic inscrip
tion which in each case coils round
from the center outwards It Is by
far the largest hieroglyphic Inscrip
tion ret discovered in Crete. It con
tains some 241 signs and 61 sign
groups, and it exhibits the remarkable
peculiarity that every sign has been
separately impressed on the cla> while
in a soft state by a stamp or punch
It is in fact, a printed inscription
So much apjiears certain, that the
Phaestoe disc was not inscribed by
Minoan* The signs differ greatly
from those of the Knossian deposits
Pour fifths of them are quite different
and the remaining part do not always
dosrir resemble those of Crete.

Sir Arthur Evans came to the con
clusion ’hat the Inscription probably
had some religious significance. He
also thinks That it was the work not
>f Cretan* but of some parallel and
closely allied culture, and suggests
that this culture was that of Lycia in
south western Asia Minor As to its
religious bearing he con.-idered that

prominent one. and it is a reasonable
inference that it refers to some such
deity as Kybebe. the Great Mother, or
the Diana of Ephesus with her multi
tude of breasts. Such a divinity was
worshiped in Minoan Crete and may
have been the same as Ephesian
Diana.
Two attempts have been made to
interpret the disc inscription, one by
Pofessor Hempl of Stanford univer
sity, California, the other by \%ss
Stawell of Newham college. England
Professor Hem pi makes it to be a'
record of the restoration of plunder to
a shrine Miss Stawell, on the other
hand, interprets it as an archaic hymn.
Certainly on the lace of it this inter
pretation seems the more probable,
and agrees with Sir Arthur Evans'
view The shape of the disc appears
to indicate that the inscription is not
an ordinary one. and it may very well
have been a written pra\ er or psalm.
-Miss Sta wells interpretation is
based on the assumption that the lan
guage of the inscription is Greek—
necessarily Greek of a primitive type.
Having decfded the identity of a pio
tured object she attaches to it its name
in Greek, and then takes the first syl
lable as the sound value. For exan>
pie. the human head with the curious
crown-like covering is taken to signify
"man." The Greek words for man are
aner and amhropos. and therefrom the
sound va!%e is given as an. A face
marked on the cheek is interpreted
as "branded man." therefore "crimi
aal." From this the meaning is de
duced as kakos ibad) and the sound
value as ka and so on. Of course it
is evident that independent observers
might interpret many of the signs dif
ferently. One does not see, for exam
ple. why sign 20. an obvious jug. is
not to be interpreted as^one, instead
of. according to Miss Stawell, "mead"
iin a jug).
To conclude, it would seem that in
terpreters hitherto have assumed
much: and the results of their labor^.
though highly interesting and creche
able to them, are not altogether con
vincing. They assume that the lan
guage of the inscription is Greek, and
thert is no evidence that the tongue
of the Minoan Cretans was Greek at
all. So far as can be seen the Mi
noans were a totally different race
from the Greeks, and it seems rather
early days to assume that they spoke
their tongue, much less that the god
dess of the disc is Athene. Further, j
it is probable that the Phaestes disc
is Anatolian, and not Cretan.
Chinese Are Thrifty Farmers.
' In the utilization of every square
foot of soil and every leaf or root
that is grown thereon, the patient,
working farmers of China could give
points even to the thrifty rural popu
lation of Rrauce," says the Philadel
phia Public Record. “Land is never
wasted There are no such pasture
and meadotv lands as we know here.
If a traveler wants to pitch a tent
anywhere in the settled provinces of
China he must drive the stakes in a
beat patch or a rice field or amid po
tato hills. The native would receive
with scornful amazement a suggestion
of a public pleasure ground. The only
parks' are the groves about the tem- '
pies.
"To the tops of the hills the ter
races climb, holding their tiny plots of j
w heat and corn, sometimes at a house
roof angle of 45 degrees. Inhabitants
of crazy huts and cave dwellers, bare
ly making room for themselves to
sleep and cook at the intersections of
the vast checkerboard, climb out of
their holes and hovels at dawn like
prairie dogs or rabbits in a warren,
and fight the soil till dark for a mea- j
ger living.”

ROAD*
BUILDING
EFFECTUAL REPAIR OF ROADS
Continuous Maintenance Keeps High
ways Always in Good Condition—
Advantage Self-Evident
The need of effectual repair and
maintenance of highways has now be
come well recognized. The resulting
demand for better methods and more
certain results is insistent. The office
of public roads of the department of
agriculture is making a strong effort
to focus the mind of the country on
the fact that maintenance and ef
fective repair are of equal importance
with the actual improvement of bad
roads . Investment of money in new
roads does not become real economy
until proVision is made for keeping
these new roads in condition after
they are built. If a new road was
built and then allowed to fall into
disrepair, much of the original invest
ment is simply wasted.
Europe, generally speaking, is ahead
of the United States in the matter
of road improvement, but Great
Britain is struggling with a problem
similar to the one that confronts the
people of the United States. In Eng
land. Scotland and Wales there are no
fewer than 2.140 separate authorities
who between them administer 175.487
miles of roads, or an average of only j
S2 miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities there are over 201*
burghs, one-half of which have 10
miles of road apiece to maintain
Needless to say, such a minute mile
age is insufficient to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year -
around, and renders the employment
of a skilled engineer impossible for
economical reasons.
Officials of the office of public roads,
when called upon for assistance by
the various staes. are pointing out
that road building is an art based on
a science, and that trained men and
experienced men are necessary to se
cure the best results from the expen
diture of road funds.
Statisticians have found that al
though the average expenditure on
the improvement of roads exceeds one
million dollars a day. a large portion
of the money in the United States is
wasted because of the failure *o build
the right type of road to meet the
local requirements cr the failure to
provide for the continued maintenance
of the improvement.
During the last two decades there
has been a remarkable development of
road building which ts intimately as
sociated with state aid and state con
trol. especially in the region north of
the Ohio and east of the Mississippi

rivers. The evolution of present day
conditions in this section is particu
larly important in its bearing on
highway repair and maintenance. The
rapidly increasing automobile traffic
on highways has greatly stimulated
interest in road improvement and pro
foundly modified methods of construc
tion and maintenance.
At the beginning of the year 1913.
90 per cent., or approximately 2,000,
000 miles, of the roads in this coun
try were earth. The repair and proper
maintenance of earth roads are there
fore of great importance. To pre
serve a properly built or repaired
earth road, it has been repeatedly
demonstrated that the best method is
some system of continuous mainte
nance. The operations involved in
maintenance are in one sense small
repairs. The economy in small re
pairs over extensive periodic repairs
is largely due to the fact that defects
in a road develop at an increasing
rate if allowed to continue, and the
cost of restoring the road to the nor j
mal condition is consequently made
greater than the actual sum of the 1
co6ts of repeated minute repairs. The
split-log drag, or some of its modifica
tions. has proved beyond doubt the
best tool for earth-road maintenance.
Rice as Food.
Rice forms nearly one-half of the
cereal food of the world and wheat Is
the chief cereal food of the other half.
The quantity of these two cere
als produced is approximately the
same, the latest estimate placing the
world's rice crop at 175 billion pounds
and the world's wheat crop at 190 bil
lion pounds.

Jet-Trimmed Hats for Early Wear
THE great variety in hats made of
jet combined with other materials,
gives reason to think that the jet
trimmed hat is destined to usher in
the spring and remain throughout the
summer. Already hats made of jet
and maline. or jet and lace, with a
touch of velvet in their composition,
have appeared, and. while appropriate
for present wear, they are airy
enough for summer The jet hat does
not belong to one season but to all
of them. It is a good investment in
millinery.
Many of the new hats are quite
high. The shapes themselves are
moderate in height, but the trimming
gives the effect of very high crowns.
This phase of the new styles is liked
for the combination of jet with ma
line or lace. Two hats of this kind
are shown here, both of the prettiest
of the latest models.
In one of them a turban shape Is
developed with a band of jet covering
the brim and a soft puffed crown of
maline. Over and around this crown
there is a standing ruffle of maline
i doubled ) supported by fine wires.
No other trimming is used. Such a
hat is useful at any season. Thanks
to the recent discoveries of manufac
turers. the maline is not as fragile as
it looks. It has been made water
proof. The jet is one of the few mil
linery materials that have lasting
qualities.
The model of jet and lace is also a
turban shape. It is somewhat elongat
ed and has a soft crown of silk and
maline Handsome black Chantilly
lace is wired to stand up about the
crown It is slashed at each side and
outlined near the edge with a line
of jet spangles A beautiful coronet
of jet extends abou: the brim, rising
to a point at the front. Small bows
of black velvet ribbon are poised at
each side. Little bouquets are often '
placed in this position, instead of
bows. They are made of little, fine
flowers or little fruits
Quite the reverse of high, one of the
small close-fitting caps of straw braid
:s shown with a band of jet about the
edge. Nothing could be simpler in
shape. It is trimmed with jet orna
ments, one at each side, consisting of
a flat cabochon into which a spike of
jet is apparently thrust. In spite of
its simple shape and construction, this
model :s smart and almost startlingly
novel.
There is no doubting the favor with
which these hats of jet have been re
ceived by those who are the first to j
buy spring millinery They will be.
worn during the whole season, but,
as no one is content to own but one
hat. after holding the center of the
stage for a while, they will be rele
gated to second place, with flower and
ribbon-trimmed millinery taking pre
cedence.
A black hat should always be among
the belongings of the well-dressed
woman, for there are times when It
is needed and nothing else will do
quite as well.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
VESTS AND GIRDLES
FOR ELABORATING
. THE COAT SUIT
IN ORDER to change the appearance
of your dressy coat suit, or for
the sake of elaborating vour toilette
upon occasions that demand it the
separate vest is a thing of beauty and
a source of comfort- It is made of
the handsomest and most brilliant of
fabrics; bits of rich, highly colored
brocades, gold embroidered satins,
and ribbons which cost more than
their weight in gold. But the little
vest Is small and takes only a short
length to make it. It is a touch of
gorgeousness meant to brighten up
and lend lustre to the quiet garb.
If one owns a coat suit of a good vel
veteen or satin or any other of the
popular suit fabrics, the separate vest
and girdle will tone it up to fit the
most exacting of occasions. For the
afternoon tea-dance, the matinee, the
formal call, the club reception, in
fact, for functions to which one wears
a hat. the little brilliant vest and the
smart girdle make the suit impres
sive.
It is a happy idea to have a bit of
the same coloring in the hat worn with
these chic accessories. The small black
velvet hat has made opportunities for
the addition of trimming to har
monize with colors worn in the cos
tume. Crowns covered smoothly with
the same rich and showy fabrics that
are used for making vests, will be
found effective.
The small waistcoats are embellish- !
ed with handsome cut steel. let or
rhinestone buttons. Jet and rhine- |
stone combined are in great favor just
now. They are the last word in the
matjer of brilliance and look well on i
any color or mixture of colors.
Besides the little vest there is the
girdle of brilliant silk ribbon or
piece goods, and the specially good
wide velvet ribbon. Plaids and Ro
man stripes in such fascinative color
combinations that one instantly falls
in love with them, furnish many of the
girdles. Brocades are liked, but to :
be worn at the same time as a bril
liant vest, the girdle of plain velvet
ribbon furnishes about the best
choice.
These girdles appear to be adjusted
loosely about the figure and extend
somewhat below the waist line. But
think not that this is easily or care
lessly done They are carefully placed,
the wearer adjusting them in front of
her mirror and pinning them with the
smallest of tiny safety pins on the
under side The pins do not show, of
course The girdles, if of ribbon,
are nearly always "crushed a bit. The
effort these days is not to make the ,
waist look •‘trim-' and small, but to' i
suggest ease and freedom
The effect of a handsome, harmoni- '
ous girdle in toning up a gown ran i
hardly be overestimated "That girdle I
makes the gown" is a comment one is j
apt to hear when a successful girdle ;
lifts an ordinary gown to its own ele
gant level.
Gypsy-Like Coiffures.
Something of the gypsy must be in ,
every woman—these strange new head- j
dresses have attained such instant
popularity.
For evening functions bits of hon- 1
nets of shirred velvet in shades of
brique are bound about the head.
These are edged with fur and trimmed
with a single ■'flame” of scarlet para
dise. Scarfs and muffs to match are
used.
For evening affairs of a more
elaborate character bands of tulle
ornamented with great jewels are
worn around the hair. If it is
an opera, milady removes the
band and uses a "flame" of para
dise. up one side of the coiffure, with
a real or an imitation jewel attached I
to the tip of the feather This bends
the paradise over, like a whip, and
gives a new and pretty line, rather i
becoming in a coiffure.
Flower Powder Puffs.
Small wonder that the heart of the j
silk velvet rose or whatever fabric .
flower Madame Modish elects to adopt ‘
as a corsage ornament is of generous \
proportions. It needs must be capa
cious. for it holds a tiny ribbon-tied ;

ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED
Kingsville, Mo.—"My trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half of
the time there were running sores
around my ankle; sometimes it would
be two years at a time before they
were healed There were many nights
I did not sleep because of the great
suffering The sores were deep run
ning ones and so sore that I could not
bear for anything to touch them
They would burn all the time and
sting like a lot of bees were confined
around my ankle. I could not bear to
scratch it. it was always so sensitive
to the touch. I could not let my
clothes touch it. The skin was very
red. I made what I called a cap out
of white felt, blotting paper and 6oft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This
I wore night and day
“I tried many remedies for most of
the eighteen years with no effect.
Last summer 1 sent for some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The very first
time I used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment I gained relief; they relieved the
pain right then. It was three months
from the time I commenced using
C uticura Soap and Ointment until the
sores were entirely healed I have

seems perfectly well.” (Signed) Mrs.
