this State. Harry A. Roe, has declared
var on all automobile drivers who
drive recklessly or insist upon operat-
ing their cars after having INDUCED in

In other words, Mr.. Roe asserts thu
in dealing with drinking motor car
drivers in the future be does not in
tend to make any distinction between
the man who takes one ddink and stops
and the man who takes several and
gets drunk.
'You eau say for me, and say most
emphalically," said the motor vehicle
commissioner, that have made up
my mind to put an end to reckless
driving superinduced by strong drink,
il il is possible for me to do so.
ITO accomplish my purpose it will
be necessary for me TO refuse to distin.
guish between people who drink little
and those who drink much l shall.
therefore, in the future revoke the
license OF every automobile driver who
is brought before me.
$50 far as am able to see, this is
the only safe ruls to be followed. =

THE BATTLE OF MARATHON.
And the Mound Under Which the Old
Grecian Heroes Rest.

A great Grecian landmark is the
Soros. the mound erected over the
graves of 1872 Athenians who fell In
b. G. The mound Is about forty feet
high and 800 yards in circumference.
Underneath the mound lie the heroes
who died in this most decisive victory
which prevented the Persians from in
vading Europe.
The battle had hardly begun when
the .Persians ia immensely superior
force, doubtless ten to one. pulled
themselves together and by sheer mass
broke through the Greek center. But
this had been calculated upon before
hand. Miltiades employed strategy,
making his line weak at the center.
and allowed the Persians to break in
Then. with his heavy masses at the
ends. he ground the Persian wings to
pieces and fell upon their center. The
most stubborn lighting, apart from the
battle at the ships. was probably at
this spot. half a mile from the shore.
Six thousand four hundred persians
lay on this plain and along the shore,
while 1872 men Of Marathon lay wrap
ped in glory on the field
1t was long suspected that the he
roes of Marathon were buried under
the mound, but Mr.. Stats. one of the
Greek ephori of antiquities, studying
the plain. came TO the conclusion that
the surface of the soil had been raised
by alluvial deposits eight to ten feet
above the level of 400 b. G. In 1890
he drove a trench with a downward
slant into the center Of the mound
and found the bones of the heroes
with their weapons beside them
