 4 LOCAL WRITER-One of. the best stories in. the September number of the Red Book is by Will Robin son of Phoenix. It is called, "A So- cial Hold-Up at Sagebrush." It is the story of an Arizona sheep herder who. after many lonely months spent on the desert, forms the amazing plan of holding up chance travellers at the point of a shot gun so that he might have some one to talk to. Then comes the story which develops from the sheep herder's yearning for human so- ciety. No higher compliment can be paid Mir. Robinson's Arizona stories than this-that they read well in Ari- zona.. which cannot be said of many of those who have chosen as their field this i'lawless' territory. Mir Rob inson is now at Oceanside. Cal. where he is understood to be engaged in writing more stories. In the fall he will return to Phoenix and superintend the Ingleside colony.

HAD SYSTEM OF ELEVATORS
Scientist Has Found Proof That
Romans Knew of Labor Saw
ing Device.

Prof. Boni is reported to have made
an important discovery in the course
Of his excavations in the Forum, at
Rome. While exploring some under
ground passages near the north ros-
ira Of Caesar he found In IL small
rooms or galleries traces of former
system of elevators
In each room there are unmistak-
able traces Of grooves through which
ropes passed and stone supports for
wooden poles that were fixed verti-
cally inside the passages, The profes.
sor is convinced that platforms in
stalled in these rooms served to raise
to the surface the gladiators and
wild beasts that participated in the
circus games and that hence they were
nothing else but elevators or lifts.
Thus what until recently was consid-
cred a modern invention was used by
the Romans under the republic. There
are no traces of similar elevators in
buildings belonging to the imperial pc
riod and in all likelihood no attempt
was made to improve the movable
platforms In later times

EASY TO TRACE DEGENERACY
Removal of Causes of Strife Has
Made Rhinoceros Stupid
Animal He Is.

The rhinoceros is an ugly beast,
and Dr. w, S. Rainsford charges him
in an article in the Outlook with be-
ing as stupid and as wicked as he
looks. Some years ago, he says. a
noted professor of biology interested
him greatly as he showed him the
skulls of certain Miocene rhinoceroses
In those far-away days the beast
must have been well able TO take care
OF himself, even in the dangerous com
pany in which he found himself, The
conyolutions Of the brain of the
Miocene rhinoceros are fine, much
superior to those Of his presentday
descendant.
The saw-tooth tiger and the cave
bear We're not dangerous enemies. In
deed, he somehow so managed things
that when they disappeared he sur
vived. Then gradually life must have
become too easy for him. He was big
and burly and well-armed, other ami
mails kept out of his way, The newt
able consequences ensued. Competi
ton fierce and keen had kept him up.
The struggle over, his brain no longer
put to its best use. he began, like

The African grass is as good as OF

as sharp, everything keeps out of his

Character in WALKING,

Walking is almost as common as
breathing, eating and sleeping. yet
there are many people who DO not
know how to walk, Some loiter along
with a half-dead, half-aliye air, while
others madly rush as if but a moment
of time was theirs.
Now, there is much character in
a walk; 1t should embody energy, an
hition and enterprise and ~ the same
time grace and dignity.
To walk for health certain prepare
tons should be made In cold wealth
or the clothing should be warm, but
not heavy. The clothing should be
loose, for tight garment restricts cir
7ulation The skirt should be short
and the shoes should be low-heeled,
wide and thick soled.
Deep breathing goes handin-hand
with walking, and it is good habit to
breathe rhythmically, counting the
while.
