DIARY OF FATHER TIME

In these days of typewriters and
fountain pens, it is interesting to
study the materials on which the an
Gent Greeks were accustomed to
write. Stone, brass, lead, and wood
we're employed when the design was
to record a memorable event. For
common and private purposes the
more used materials were leaves, in
ner bark of trees, parchment, wooden
tablets, simple or covered with wax,
ivory, linen, and Egyptian papyrus.
The usual instrument for writing
on the harder materials, and also on
the tablets covered with wax, was
the style. This was pointed at one
end, and broad at the other, for the
purpose of erasing letters and
smoothing the surface of the wax,
if a mistake were made. 1t was
usually Iade OF iron. sometimes of
ivory. For drawing the letters with
colors a reed sharpened and split for
the purpose, like the present day pen,
was used. The ink was common
black and was prepared from SCOT
and gum. ..

SOME MORE COUNTY BOARD
SCRAP IS ON THE WAY
Little Aleck" Mccormick and his
followers on the County Board have
called in two of julius Rosenwald's
pet politicians, Harris Keller of the
Bureau of Public Efficiency and Rob-
ert Catherwood, head of the county
civil service commission, to assist
them in framing a budget with which
to wallop the majority of the board.
The first battle is bound to come
over the proposed reduction of the
appropriations for the, offices of the
county agent and the superintendent
of public service These two Offices
are filed by Joseph Meyer and Robert
E. Kenyon, respectively. And both are
very close to Mccormick.
So Aleck has called in Rosenwald's
organization to assist him in getting
even. They have started by fighting
a small increase in salary to the
scrubwomen, a step advocated By
Commissioner Frank Ragen.

Committee
CONSIDERS
DECORATIONS

In a full hours meeting. Chairman
E. A. Berndt presiding, the Carnival
decorations committee at noon today
considered the various divisions of its
work.
| Supervisor Pacheco presented the
only quite satisfactory report, this
being with regard to street-corner il
iumination. 1t was to the effect that
eight intersections would be treated
with a total of 500 lights in the ma
tioual coIors of red, white and blue.
and that the work could be done with
the $3.50 voted by the board of super
risors. He had been advised that the
Carnival colors would be inadvisable
to use on account OF the poor illumi-
mating quality of green.
| Messrs. Along and Lowrey of the
store-decorating division having de-
clared their confidence in making adj
vance sales of large aloha" leis, to
the amount of $500 and probably of
enough small ones to make up the bal
ance, SIPS, of the sum authorized by
the finance committee on condition of
refunding the $625, it was agreed to
allow the balance stated on the per-
sonal decoration account
| There was general disappointment
expressed at the denial of funds to
the street decorations division, en-
phasized by exhibits of weatherworn
flags which were the only material in
sight belonging to the public. L. A.
Thurston urged an appeal to the pub
lie spirit OF property-owners and oc-
cupiers at different conspicuous
points. guaranteeing 500 on his own
behalf to enable an order to be cabled
to San Francisco for needed material.
A further appeal will be made to
