Crete, "The Half Way House !"
Rich in History and Tradition

tightly corseted figures.
"A romantic revelation of these
ruins was picture of the Cretan
sport of bull-grappling, a pastime
which was a forerunner of the troce-
dero combats of twentieth century
Spain. According to conjectures of
leading authorities, bull-grappling oc-
supied the sameplace in Cretan social
life that the arenic games and gladia-
torial battles did in Rome centuries
later, with the exception that captive
maidens as we'll as youths were train
ed for the hazardous sport of the is
land kings and patricians. One fresco,
which retains its original brilliant
colors, shows two girls and boy
engaged in the conflict. The boy has
succeeded in seizing the horns of the
charging animal and has executed a
somersault over the beasts back. The
first girl has also completed the dar-
ing evolution, but the artist shows the
second girl at the moment when she
is reaching out for the horns and
the spectator is left in doubt as to
whether she succeeds or is impaled
on the deadly points.
A sinister discovery in connection
with this fresco was the location of
the gloomy subterranean cells in
which the captured youths and maid
ems were confined before the contests.
Perhaps to these cells and these bull
fights is to be traced the famous leg
end of the despatch to Kina Minos of
seven Athenian maidens and seven
youths every ninth year, the human
tribute being fed to the Mailman and
half-bull known as the Minotaur, the
offspring of Minos monstrous wife
Pasiphae. 1t is highly probable that
the story of Theseus' slaughter of the
Minotaur in the Labrinth had an ac-
tual historical basis. Certainly, only
with the aid of an outsider, such as
the tabled Ariadne, could captive

Kill the WeeViIs
In Stored Grain
John r. Fain, Prof. Aeronomy, Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.

state college, OF Agriculture.
In the southern part of Georgia es-
pecially, the grain weevil will do great
damage to stored grain. Seed grain
especially requires protection. The
grain should be treated with carbon
bisulphide. One pound of the liquid
put in cup on top of the grain will
treat one ton of grain. The fumes
from the carbon-bisu1phide being heav-
Ter than air sink down through the
pile Of grain and destroy the weevils.
The grain should be in tight bin,
barrels or other receptacles that can
be closed tightly. Until the treatment
is complete, no one should approach
the treated grain with light, burn
ing pipe or fire in any form. The gas
produced is highly explosive.
Two insects cause the weevil dam
age, the granery weevil and the an
goumois moth. To be on the safe side
it would be well to treat grain imme-
diately after storing and again in the
latter part of winter. Corn taken from
stalks that have been stripped of their
fodder is infested with weevils worse
than corn not stripped because the
fodder-stripped corn has a tendency
to open its husks and let the insects in.
If community desires to buy car
bon-bisulphide cheaply the College of
Agriculture can provide information as
to how to save money.

Agricultural Short Course
And the Boil WeeviI

This year, as never before, the Geor-
short course in agriculture at the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
In no other way can farmer get so
much of what he needs in changing his
farm practices. The College is a
storehouse of information and the Col
lege farm a convincing example of
what the information really is The
short courses at the College this year
will begin January 8, 1917, and last
ten days. Complete announcement
will be made in a bulletin, which can
be obtained by writing to the College
Of Agriculture at Athens.

have escaped from the dungeons in
which the Minon rulers coafi1ed the
urfortunates condemned to furnish
diversion for the court.
Unlike Babylon, Nineveh, Assur,
and many other cities of antiquity.
ICretan culture was not a victim of
|decadence, but fell before some mys-
ferrous catacylism the exact details of
which may never be known. The only
certainty about the fall of Knossos and
of sister cities of the island is that
they were wiped out By an all-consum-
ing conflagration, after the palaces
had been systematically looted of all
their gold, silver, bronze and other
treasure. AS to who the invaders
were, or how they achieved their pur-
pose, even legend is silent, but the
Rev. James Baikie, who chronicled the
findings of DR.. j. A. Evans and other
'excavators, has given this vivid sup
pOoAtAouS pIcbuTe.
No Records Available.
OF course, there are no records,
and If there were we could not read
them (no key having been discovered
as yet to the Cretan writings,) but it
is easy to imagine the disastrous sea
fight off the coast; the wreck of the
once invincible Mionan feet driven
ashore in the shallow bay, like the
Athenian feet at Syracuse. the swift
march Of the mainland conquerors up
the valley; the brief, desperate resist
ance of the palace guard, and then the
horrors of the sack, and the long
column of flushed victors winding
down to their ships laden with booty,
and driving with them crowds of cap
tured women. Similar scenes must
have been enacted at Phaestos and
Hagia Trinda, either by other forces
of invaders or by the same host sweep
inf around the island
From this overwhelming disaster
the Minoan Empire never recovered.
The Palace of Knossos was never re-
occupied as a palace, at least on any
thing like the scale of former magni-
ticence. The invaders possibly de-
parted as quickly as they had come,
or If, as seems more probable they es-
tablished themselves as a ruling caste
among the subjects Minoans, they
chose for their dwellings other sites
than those of the old palaces. The

Grape back after the sack to the black

dwelling houses, where they lived on
a very different life from that of the
golden days before the sack"

is the concentrated Ame-sulphur wash.
1t is made as follows: Make 80 pounds

Some Farm Saving Hints
L. C. HART, Prof. Ayr. Engineering,
Ga. State College Of Agri.

Ga. State College Of Agri.
Georgia farmers waste needlessly a
great deal of their investment in farm
machinery by failure to properly store
and take care of it when through with
it in the field Collect the farm ma
chinery in the tool shed. If there is
no tool shed the Department of Agri-
cultural Engineering of the College of
Agriculture will furnish plans and a
bill of materials for one free.
Clean the machinery thoroughly and
cover all bright parts with heavy
oil. Clean out oil holes and plug
them with wood or waste.
Put on Paint. Nothing adds to the
appearance of a farmstead as much
as paint and whitewash. The selling
price is added to very greatly The
structures are preserved and their an
nual depreciation decreased A full
set of formulas and advice as to the
application of paints and white washes
will be sent to all farmers of the
state upon application to the Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering of
the College.
Convenient Farm Buildings. An
enormous loss of time results from
poorly designed arrangements for feed
ing livestock on the farm The build
ings have not been designed with. lit
tie thought of labor saving. The Agri-
cultural Engineering Department of
the College of Agriculture can pro-
vide sets of plans for farm buildings
which will mean much saving of time
over old barn methods.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3d.
Crete, the halfway house between
continents" whose citizens are re-
Ported to have revolted against the
pacific course Of King Constantine, has
given more to the Greek nation
than her native son Venivelos, the
former premier who for nearly two
years has been recurrently hailed as
the man of the hour" while his coun-
try has been poised on the brink of the
European conflict, afraid to yield to
his plea to plunge forward, yet fearful
lest, remaining inert, she be engulfed
and left without rescuer when the
victorious powers meet to parcel out
the rewards Of war. According to a
war geography bulletin of the Nation
al Geographic Society this island is
viewed by leading scientists and
archaeologists as the very cradle of
ancient Greek culture.
1T is not the Phoenicians who in
vented the art of writing says the
bulletin, but the Cretans who, under
the sway of their remarkable sea-
kings, antedated by several hundred
years the culture of the commercial
nation which fiourished on the shores

this island, the home of Minos, Of
Ariadne and of the horror-inspiring
Minotaur of Homeric legend, have
disclosed evidences of a civilization
which reached its apogee fourteen
hundred years before the birth of
Christ and more than six centuries
ebfore the First Olympiad, the start
ing point of recorded Attic history.
Nor was Crete's civilization which in
airy degree paled in comparison with
the grandeur of the Babylonian en-
pire, the magnificent of ancient AS
syria, or the remarkable achievements
of the Egyptians under the early
Pharaohs.
when the spade of the explorer
unearthed the ruins of the ancient
capital of Knossos, or Cnossurs, near
the site of the modern seaport OF
Gambia, there were revealed to archa-
eoligists treasures which had scarcely
been equalled since the secrets of the
buried cities of Pompeii and Hercul-
ar cum were laid bare.
Secrets of Tablets.
CLAY tablets bearing inscriptions
in linear form far more graceful than
any produced by the Phoenicians were
found by the thousands; remarkable
frescoes in brilliant colors depicting
race of men and women of rare
physical beauty and high mental ac-
complishments; potters, bronzes,
tools, and gaming tables that for per-
lection of workmanship, elaborate
decoration, and artistic development
have hardly been surpassed in the
thirty-five centuries which stretch be-
tween that day and this.
"One of the most astonishing dis
coyeries made in the palace of Minos
(the name should probably be applied
to dynasty, like the Pharaohs Of
Egypt, rather than to one king, as
mythology recites), was the style Of
dress among the women. Indeed, the
artists who executed the frescoes
might have had modern Parissienes
for their models, judged by the decol-
cite gowns, the rouged cheeks, the
flarring hats, the high heels and the

Rochester, August 16.-John A.
Lulsdorff, special instructor and as
slstant chief of the Rochester fire
department, appeared before the coun-
Gil Monday evening with certain rec
concentrations, ranging from equip
ment down to organization and clean
up.
Deputy Fire Marshal Lulsdorf
recommended that an accounting
system be instituted at the fire de-
partment and that acquisitions be
made necessary for purchases. He
also submitted an ordinance which
would give the fire department GER
tain well-defned rights.
He also recommended that the city
purchase a seventy five foot aerial
ladder on a motorized truck. Several
of the aldermen have previously ex-
pressed themselves as believing that
the department needed this equip
ment, so no doubt it will be pur-
chased as soon as money is avail
able
Mr.. Lulsdorff suggested that the
fire hall at the head of Broadway be
painted, overhauled and cleaned up.
Mr.. Lulsdarf's recommendations
were conferred to the committee.
