Hi ISLAND OF CRETE.

Washington, ID. C.-The present revolt
In Crete has occurred almost on the fourth
anniversary OF the announcement of the
Islands annexation to Greece, made by the
Greek premier on October IA. 1912. Up to
mat time the Cretans had been in an al
most constant state of revolt against Tur-
Klsh and Egyptian domination for the
greater part of the Nineteenth and the
trst decade of the Twentieth century. To-
days war geography bulletin OF the Ma
honal Geographic Society tells OF the re-
sources OF this revolt-riven region.
Crete and Corsica are practically tied
tor the distinction of fourth island of the
Mediterranean. each having an area In ex-
cess OF $500 square miles and being sur
passed in size by Sicily, Sardinia and Cy-
prus. But while Corsica has sustained a
comparatively inconspicuous role in world
history, If one excerpts the fact that 1t
was the birthplace of Napoleon, Crete has
played a stellar part In human events for
more than 1900 years.
"Oblong In shape, with a length of 100
miles and a width varying from six to IS
miles. the rugged island lies equidistant
from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its north
ern coast Is greatly indented, and while
the anchorage Is too shallow for modern
steamers In all save one of its ports. In an
eient times many OF Its 100 fiourishing
cities OF which Homer spoke were regu-
larly visited by the light-draft vessels of
the Phoenicians, the Greeks, and the
Egyptians.
Crete today sustains a population OF
about 350,0 600, more h nine-tenths OF
whom are Christians and the remaining
tenth largely Mohammedan. Much OF its
land Is bare and stony and the forests OF
cypress which were once its glory have
almost disappeared. Its rivers are scarce.
ly more than mountain torrents, which
rush down from snow-clad heights tower
ing more than $500 feet above the sea.
Many OF the narrow valleys and a few
plains are extremely fertile, however
Fruits of many varieties, especially thu
orange and lemon, grow ,uxuriantly, ant
| the olive is one Of the most valuable prod
ucts of the island, the oil being used eX
tensively in the manufacture of soap. Thu

Of the cots are suspended from the up

May Develop Irish Coal Mines.

The idea that Ireland will never
become Il mining country of any ac-
count is not the view of the Newry'
Urban council, which Mt their last meet
ing considered the proposals made by
the Irish Association of Gas Managers
at Dublin, in view of the present on
dition of the Irish coal supply. IL not
relieved, the gas managers said, the
smaller gas works must be shut down
and the government should be urged
to- provide an adequate supply Of coal
at reasonable rates. The Newry cOun-
Gil approved this opinion and passed a
special resolution to be presented to,
the British executive stating that the.
time was opportune for the develop
ment of the large and valuable coal
measures which undoubtedly exist in
Ireland.

vines Of Crete, which were noted in the
middle ages. have de.eriorated somewhat
In modern times. Currants are proftably
grown, but little grain is raised. The
mineral resources of the island may event
ually prove to .be considerable. but at the
present time gypsum, lime, slate, and
MILESTONE constitute the principal output,
which is meager.
st. Paul. in his Epistle to Titus, per-
petuated the Indictment that the Cretans
are always liars so 1t Is not astonishing
to find in the legends of the island the
claim that the supreme god of the Greek
world, Zeus, was a native and that he
wa nursed by nymphs on the slopes OF
! the famous Mount Ida. He was ever sup

the ancient center Of Minoan civilization,
Knossus, or Cnossus, an account of whose
astonishing culture thousands of years
ago has been given in a recent bulletin
OF the National Geographic society.
THE Cretans were the allies of Mithra-
tons with Rome, and a few years later
the islanders espoused the cause Of Gill
clan pirates. as a result of which the
Roman general Metellus brought them I'M
der the yoke OF the Eternal City in 66
B. c.
when the Roman empire was divided
Crete was apportioned to the eastern rul-
ers and 1t remained under the Byzantine
empercrs until 1923. When 1t was captured
by piratical Saracens from Andalusia who
held sway over the island for 40 years.
Then it was redeemed by the B%yzantines.
During the Fourth Crusade the island was

mediately sold 1t to the Nenetians C2Oi),
who ruled 1t for more than 400 years.

PIMPLEs ARE NEEDLESS.

The place-an open football field.
The time-4 o'clock on a recent Sun
day afternoon. Two prairie football
teams were preparing to play. l no.
ticed two pimply faced boys dressed
in football suits. Here seemed to be
an exception to the rule that pimples
are the ~resultof wrong living and that
persons in prime physical condition do
not ave pimples.
Presently the two pimply faced fell
lows came my way. One asked the
other if he had a chew of tobacco. You
bet he had. One pulled a plug from
some place or other. Each bit off a
cheekful. Here seemed to be an eN-
ception to another rule. Tobacco ruins

allowed to use it.
The captains ordered the team to
line up. Then l saw that the supposed
exceptions to the rule were not such.
up. l looked for them. Their job was
to keep the spectators off the field.
Later on 1 noticed that they ran with
the water bucket. They were lackey-
ing for the team. and for this privilege
they were allowed the privilege OF
wearing uniforms.
A pimply faced boy car laclSey. BY
the same token d lachey can chew to-
bacco. But neither a pimply faced boy
nor a tobacco chewer can play foot
ball. If he plays at all he will have
to play on a fourth rate prairie team,
and at that he will need to soldier
when he thinks he can get away with
it. \ boy who plays football hard, who
then goes into a cold cleansing bath
and a cold shower, who gets hot and
wet with sweat, who then cleans his
skin and takes a good rub, sr-2h a boy
does not have pimpies. Conversely,
when "A boy has pimples it is reasona
bly, certain that he has not trained.
And that is about all there is to the
pimples proposition. A great many
people want to know what to do for
pimplcs. Whatto dc is easy to say.
Carrying it out is where h trouble
comes. SO many who want to get rid
of pimples are unwilling to pay the
price. Some of them want something
for nothing. Others want to get the
best of the bargain. They want to get
rid OF pimples, it is true, but they want
more to eat candy. to loaf and loll
around. They are unwilling to work
hard, to get sweaty. and to keep the
skin rubbed clean.
