WOMEN WORE PRESENT STYLES
1000 YEARS AGO.

Recent archaeological discoveries in
the island of Crete, which has just be-
come the property of Greece as one of
the fruits of the Balkan war, promise
to cause a revision of history, accord
ing to the Rev. James Baikie in q COM
munication to Gilbert II. Grosvenor,
director of the National Geographic
Society. According to Mr.. Baikie the
women of Crete were wearing present
day Partisan styles over 1000 years
ago, including big hats, high heeled
shoes and tight laced eorsets; they built
houses and employed methods of sani-
tation which have been equaied by
modern civilization only within the last
fifty years. They invented the written
word, although historians, until the
present discoveries, have conferred this
distinction on the Phoenieians, who did
not appear in history until 1000 years
afterward. The Rev. Mr.. Baikis gees
so far in his communication as to state
that Crete was probably the actual
stage for events which have come to
the present day in the shape Of Greek
legends.
"It has been in Crete that explora-
ton and discovery have led to the most
striking illustration Of many Of the
statements in the legends and trsdi-
tons and have made it practically GER
tain that much of what used to be con-
sidered mere romantic fable represents,
with, of course, many embellishments
Of fancy, good deal of historic fact, "
writes the Rev. Mr.. Baikie. He tells of
the discovery of the site of the great
palace Of Minos at Knossos, in the
labyrinth of which roamed the blood |
thirsty Minotaur.
A description of the dress of the
women of those times from the minis- |
ture freseoes found in the palace, is as
follows:
off the dress Of the male populaee
was simple, that Of the female was the
reverse. An elaborate tight-ftting
bodice, cut excessively low at the neck,
covered or affected to cover the up
per part of the body, which is so wasp
wasted as to suggest universal tight
laeing. From the broad belt hung
down beH-shaped skirts, sometimes
houneed throughout their entire length,
sometimes richly embroidered. In
some cases the skirt, below q small
pannier or apron, is composed Of diff
ferent eolored materials combined in
a ehequer pattern distantly resembling
tartan. One freseo represents a curious
and elaborate form Of dress, consisting
Of wide trousers Of blue ma
serial dotted with red crosses on light
ground and most wonderfully friIled
and vandyked." !

A HOME HOSPITAL TUBERCU1os1s

self. The hospital is located in the
East River Homes, built by Mrs. W.
K. Vanderbilt especially for tubercu-
lOsis families. Twenty-seven families,
consisting of 135 individuals were treat.
ed during the year. Six of the families
have been rehabilitated physically, So
eially, and economically, and five have
been discharged as not suitable for
the experiment. Out Of the l35 in
dividuals, 70 were patients, the average
number of patients being 2.92 to a
family. The report shows that the
average residence at the hospital was
1888 days and that the average gain

Is were suspicious cases, and 81 were
excellent candidates for the disease.
Without exception every child gained
in weight and in resistance to tuber-
eulOsis. An open air school and roof
playground is provided for the children.
The report would also indicate that
the cost of treatment per patient COM
pares favorably with that in the best
sanatoria of the country. The expert
ment, however, has been one not only
in the treatment of tuberculosis, but
in the treatment Of poverty and de-
pendenee. The results seem to show
that the actual cost to the community
in caring for families Of this character
is less at the Home Hospital, than if
certain members of the family who
have tuberculosis are sent to an insti.

the family are cared for in homes, asy-

BANKS ARE WARNED
Movement Must Charge Only Reasonable Interest.

Washington, Sept. PA warning to National banks that have received funds to aid op movement and those which have received emergency currency not to take excessive rates of interest or to refuse legitimate credits was given tonight by Secretary McAdoo in ar address dealing with the present situation in the cotton growing states.
 The secretary declared he would not hesitate to withdraw government deposits from the offending banks or to refuse to issue emergency currency to them. Aside from the warning Mr. McAdoo announced that there is no reason for the cotton producers and manufacturers to feel pessimistic and expressed the belief that there must soon be an increased demand for cot ton and added if the banks, merchants and manufacturers throughout the south would quit taking counsel for fear and go forward with confidence the situation he believed would im- prove still further.
 The secretary said the warning ap- plies not only to national banks in the cotton states but all other sec tions of the country. The issuance of this currency rests within the dis rcetion of the secretary of the treas ury. q shall not knowingly exercise that discretion in any bank which fail to make reasonable rates for the benefit of commerce and the busi- ness of the country.

 Those two boats were recently de- r...od to the government, and repre- ..rt m q cost of S25O,O00. They were .,Dstructed to keep the Arkansas riv- ,r oDen from mouth to Ozark, by cut t;,c throug sand bars as rapidly they formed. The Taber was deliver d about a month ago, and worked up tho river from the mouth, clearing the ,hsnuel until the end of the thirty davs trial demanded by the govern mept There being no money left in the Arkansas appropriation to carry m the dredge work, the boat was then forced to tie up at Pendleton until inc next appropriation for work on tbe Arkansas worms its way through Congress-.
 Capt. Daniel of Little Rock, piloted
 
 the Masgreagor from Memphis to a pOint near Pendeton, where the big boat began it's trial on sand bars. In thirty days this boat will work it's way to the vicinity of Pine Bluff. Both boats will probably then proceed to Pine Bluff where they will remain un- til money arrives to permit them to work their way on up the stream. The river between Pine Bluff and the Mississippi is navigable the year round, so the boats are more needed between Pine Bluff and Little Rock, where the bars prevent boats operat- ing more than three months of the year, which has prevented investment in steamboats by merchants and planters along the river.
