The Sanitary Mustache.
From the Detroit News.

Doubtless as a protest against the
beardless condition imposed upon man by
modern usage. a number Of eager and
courageous spirits among the men have
taken to the new European fashion of
wearing incipient brushes on their upper
lips. This stubby. impertinent little half
nude affair conforms, to be sure, with
modern ideas of hygiene and facial proph-
ylaxis This is the age of the individual
SOAP and Of the destructible towel.s The
advantage Of the new bristly mustache is
that a new one can be grown every few
DAYS. attaining its requisite dignity in
abou. seventy-two hours. And. in har-
mony with the sanitary towel idea, when
the mustache has been in use for half a
week It can be removed and thrown away
ana new one hung UP In a short time.
This Is admittedly a distinct improve
ment over the old roller variety of mus
tache which hung up for months and was
used as labial mop UNFORTUNATELY
without even being sent out with the fiat
work When the Romans began shaving
their whiskers of entire the matrons Of
the capital protested that they could no
longer tell them from women, and turned
toward the barbarians. who were beard
ed like the pard." A fair compromise be-
tween the beardless condition and the old
tanglefoot hirsute adornment Is that FASH
ion of a new sanitary mustache every
week, shaved within seni-bare bounds.
But here we are reckoning without the
women. Ask them.

the foot of streets. A lease has been
entered into for the foot of 33d street.
and the foot of Goth street is used as

superintendent of weights and meas

Harbor lines have recently been es-
tablished along this frontage.
Consideration has been given by the
Commissioners to the matter OF the
Improvement of the harbor front, and
II is hoped at some future time to
make definite recommendation as 10
such Improvement.
District Building.
Several improvements were made in
the District building during the year.
These included a stationary chemical
fire extinguishing apparatus and the
installation of mechanical stokers for
burning bituminous coal. Formerly
anthracite coal was used in order to
prevent smoke, but by the use Of these
stokers bituminous coal can be used
without smoke and with a saving of
90 per cent on the fuel bill.
Improved Transportation.
involved in the cost of municipal
work is the cost of transportation
Previous to three years ago all trans
portation in the District service was
by means of horse-drawn vehicles AS
measure of economy the Commits
sioners have recommended and Con-
gress has to some extent granted ap-
preparations providing for the substi-
tuition of motor-driven vehicles FOR
horse drawn vehicles Under this APP
preparation automobiles have been
purchased for use in field work In con-
nection with the construction and re-
pair of county roads, the construction
of sewers. in the making of surveys
of land. in the construction of munich
pal buildings and in the work of the
water department. Additional items
for the purchase of motor-drawn We
hicles have been included in the esti-
mates of the Commissioners for the
next fiscal year.
In order to demonstrate the relative
cost of these two means of transpor
tation the matter was investigated in
connection with the work of sewer
construction. 1t was found that the
horse drawn vehicles required double
the time per mile of travel, and con-
Sumed in travel twice as much of the
time of the field party. as against the
motor driven vehicle.
Very respectfully.

OLD CHURCH DUG UP
Excavations on Top of the
Mount of Olives.
BUILT BY QUEEN HELENA
Work Carried on by the White
Fathers"
pecial CORE. pondence Of The Star,
JERUSALEM, Palestine.


JERUSALEM, Palestine.
November 6. 1911.
A discovery which promises TO be of
great interest to the Christian world has
been made on the top of the Mount of
Olives.
Under the auspices of the Greek Cath
olic order of monks called the White
Fathers, excavations were begun re-
GENTLY in the grounds of the institution
known as the Carmelite Convent of the
"Pater Noster.' The convent and the
beautiful little chapel attached were built
about thirty-six years ago by and at the
expense of the late Aurelia de Bossi,
Princess de la Tour d Auvergne, Duchesse
de Bouillon, and is now occupied. by
French nuns of the Carmelite order.
: In her lifetime the late princess turned
over the convent and its grounds to the
French government. The institution is
consequently considered as French prop
erty now. Sc, in turn. placed 1t
under the GU ,,Ianshlp of the White
Fathers, allowing them free hand in
ats management, both spiritual and tenn
yOral, and in the carrying on of ex-
plOratory researches or eXcava lions which,
ever the occasion arose or an opportunity
offered.
:. The white Fathers have long held
to the belief that the grounds must cover
the site of some buried ancient church
or edltice in accordance with long-pre-
served records in their Possession, and
acting On his belief, excavations were
commenced in the western section of the
extensive grounds.

Walls of Church Discovered.

the wallis unearthed. this CHURCH must
have enjoyed quite liberal dimensions. 1t
measures 100 feet in length from en-
trance TO apse. the latter facing east
waro. and its average wiath at the nave
Is about nifty feet and at the transepts
eighty feet.
Inc MAN floor of the nave still re-
MANS unearthed, but those of the tram
septs the extent of whose areas meas
ures fifteen feet square each have been
exposed to view. Tney consist OF beau
tlful.y laid mosaics in perfect state of
preservation. In the middle OF the floor
or the south tranSept Is sunk a bap-
ttsmai immersion pool, two feet in depth
and four feet square, with nicely round
ed and finished rim, al wonderfully pre-
served. The plastering on the sides OF
the walls inciosing this transept shows
traces OF a large painting.
On the noOr OF the north tranSept were
found several shafts of columns scat
tered here and thee among the debris,
and at the junction of the western cor
ner OF the transept with the nave were
uncovered two or three tombs containing
human bones. on the tombstone of one
OF which is inscribed in Greek the name
'.Theodorus."
Farther up the nave, northeast of the
south transept, another bit OF mosaic
flooring was unearthed, disc. osing that
there were TWO separate ana distinct
floors Of different mosaic design the up
per lying some two feet six inches above
the other. making it clear that the
church's history covers two separate Pc

no doubt that this is one of the first
three Christian churches built in the Holy
Land by Queen Helena some time during
the early part of the fourth century the
other two being the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre. In Jerusalem. and the Church
OF the Nativity, in Beth ehem-and the

OF the Persian king. Chosroes II, or pos
