Charm Of Old San Antonio.

The charm Of an old city lies chiefly
around the historic spots and buildings
in which the romance OF its early his
tory is centered. Rarely do we enter

which Is known the country vrer. Rar-
'er still is the community whose qa,nt
buildings, picturesque scenes and ro-

each year. Such, however. rs the boast
of San Antonio, Tex, one Of the quaint
est and most interesting cities in the
United States, says Architecture. No

that the Cumberland Shipbuilding com

States shipping'board. The keel of the
second ship, the Falmouth, was laid
In the phenomenally short time Of four
minutes.
The workers are nearly all native
Maine men. 1t Is remarkable evil
dence of American adaptability and
quickness of grasp that not per cent
of the force OF 100 men Mt this yard
knew anything of shipbuildlng before
they came to work in this yard.
On the site Of the old Russell shfpe-

modern shipbuilding plant, that Of the
Portland Ship Coiling company. Noted
nearly sixty years ago for their wood

Russell yards passed into oblivion, with
not even II shack remaining. In July,
1917. the site was mudhole.

Ing company, which up to that time
had been making stalls and bins for
cattle and grain ships. Already 1t has
launched three wooden ships. ench Of
$500 tons. The greater part of the 500

These are only two of a half dozen
shipyards in Portland, with more to
be established. The other yards are.
wooden freight steamers, trawlers,
lighters and tugs.
In Bath approximately $4,000 dead
weight tons of merchant marine are
being built. Much Of this is steel

company, which employs about 1900
men. Near by. at Boothbay and East
Boothbay, six shipbuilding concerns are
building or will build this year total
of dozen or more schooners ranging
from 500 to 1000 tons each.
After being dormant nearly forty
years, the old Soule shipyard ut South
FreepOrt is again busting with activ-
ity. This was one Of the yards where
half century ago many of Names
best clipper ships were built. Here
three 35OOton wooden steamers have
been under construction this year. Bel
fast yards are turning out four wooden
schoOners, three of them five-masted.'
In other Maine places many other
wooden schooners, generally three and
four masted, and number Of wooden
freight steamers are being hurried to,
completion.
With delight Maine Is watching our
merchant marine grow to a supreme
place, and with pride 1t is sharing in.

Story Of Friendship Like That Of pa-

An Incident has come to light Mt
Cuero, Tex, in connection with the
last draft call which Is very much
like the story of Damon and Pythias.
The local board had exhausted its
list of town clerks and had taken up
the claims of farmers to select the
men who could best be spared from
their work. Emil Goehring was among
the boys chosen to go and Wallace
Mccormick was deferred until later
call.
Then the word came that Emil had.
sickness In his family and Mccormick
went before the board and obtained
permission to get Goehring's tag and
go in his stead.
Goehring was very appreciative Of
the kindness done him and made ar
engagements for a star to go on the

amount of treasure, hidden there $50
years ngo, when news came of an I'M

the spells were never found. Morgan
was outwffted again atPanama, and Mt

today, some have estimated, $4,000
800 worth Of gold and silver.
When he,attacked Panama the treas

POINTS OUT WRONG NOTIONS
Harvard Professor correets impres-
sions Of the Peoples Of Historic
Lands Of the East.

ITO speak of the pure old Egyptian
type is as incorrect as to assert that
the old type of the Pharaohs is ex-
tinct today" said Prof. w. Max Null
Ter of Harvard in an address on "The
Origin Of the Ancient Egyptians" In
the University of Pennsylvania Arch
Biological museum. 1.-The admixture
of negro blood, due to intermarriage
with slaves, was as popular In Bible
times as now"
The speaker corrected many popular
misconceptions about the historic
lands. "You apply the term Hamitic
to all Blacks" he continued. "'Sons
of Ham to the discriminating scholar
of African conditions means white
people, not black. African residents
do not begin to call n man black un-
til he is chocolate or copper colored.
'The degrees range all the way
down to dull coal black. All shades
lighter than copper, such as the tan
of the American mulatto, are called
white. The yellow girl is the compll-
mentary way to address or to paint
n lady over on the Nile.

often seen in statues, but generally
believed not to be found in real life.
