Years as spender. Now, with up
ward OF S30.000,000 in his control, will
he prove to be a spender to an extent
proportionate TO the reputation he mas

Several transactions in which young
Gates has figured and which may be
regarded as significant are recalled
here. While they perhaps no more
than verge on the sensational, they
disclose. it is pointed out. a character
that in time may develop true bet

1t is recalled that In 1901 Charles
Gates decided he wanted seat ON the
New York stock exchange, and to get
it wrote check for $4,000, the rec
ord price paid for a seat up to that
time
On one occasion John w. Gates
went to Texas on a shooting trip and
left his son in charge of his Wall

latter went out before the books
closed on Colorado Fuel & Iron, bor-
rowed about 10000 shares and had 1t
transferred into his own name After

tuberculosis Sanitoria.

AS an investment in the health Of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance COM
panies in the United States have es-
tablished sanatoria for the treatment
OF tuberculosis, according to state
ment issued by the National Associa-
tlon for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The Royal League. the
flrst fraternal order to establish a
sanatorium, conducts hospital for
Its tuberculous members at Black
Mountain. The Modern Woodmen of
America conducts one at Colorado
Springs; the WorSmen's Circle, one
at Liberty, n. Y, and the Independent
Order of Foresters have one at Rain
bow Lake, N. Y, and will soon open a
second one at San Fernando, Cal. The
international Typograp aphical Union has
since 1898 conducted sanatorium at
Colorado Springs, and the Interna-
tlonal Printing Pressman and Assist
ants Union of America has recently
opened a new institution at Rogers
Vile, Tenn. A leading life insurance
company is now erecting sanator-
lum at Mt McGregor, n. Y, which will
be the first of it's kind established
by an "old line" insurance company.

the most attractive that l know, by
reason of the changing lights under
the desert sky and the unfailing fasci-
nation of the river.
The excavators have found that the
earliest town. pre-Hittite and for
tiori pre-Assyrian, lay by the Eu-
pirates bank on rocky knoll which
is the basis of the actual Acropolis.
Its inhabitants had hardly got beyond
the neolithic use of Clipped flints and
flakes Of clear obsidian from inner
Asia and of handmade pottery which
they FURNISHED with pebble-polishers
and decorated with incised designs
But they were beginning to know
bronze implements and to paint their
vases when the Cappadocian Hittites
came down upon them. These built a
fortress above the ruins of the early
settlement, raising the mound some
what, and at its landward foot con-
structed royal residence A broad
flight of stone stairs led up to the
Acropolis, and was approached by a
spacious roadway lined with monu-
mental reliefs and inscriptions in the
peculiar Hittite script
The Jerablus stones already in the
British Museum are parts of this lin
ing of stairs and road, and to them
must now be added dozen or more
great sculptured slabs--records ap-
parently of the exploits of king, who

when young Gates was overwhelmed
by having served on him legal papers
by the numerous brokers from whom
he had borrowed the stock, ordering
him to send the proxies on it to them

AS soon as Hittite history and an

scholars discussed the probable site
OF Carchemish. 1t was evidently on

SO very far from Aleppo, but south of

Identification of the place with the
long-lost Carchemish, and enriched
the collection with some ten of the
best Hittite reliefs and inscriptions

six weeks on the site, and then hand

Thompson. Digging has thus been
going on at Jerablus for some four
months, and already we know a great
deal more about the southern capital
of the Hittites than has been known
since it passed out of history.
Jerablus is immense, as Syrian
sites go, both in area and bulk. The
space enclosed by walls, which for
most of their circuit still stand over
twenty feet high, is nearly two miles
in circumference, anc yet is, perhaps,
only the royal city, outside of which
the habitations of the commoner folk
spread themselves far over the plain.
The Acropolis mound, which is at the
northwest of the circuit, right above
Euphrates, is about a quarter of a
mile long and rises hundred and
thirty feet above mean water-leyel.
