On stretch of road which had suf-
fered greatly from this cause, heavy
wagons were provided with a sliding
shoe, which was placed under one rear
wheel when descending a hill, to fur
nish braking action. The other wheel
revolved and prevented side slip. The
shoe was made of hard wood, surfaced
on the bottom with sheetiron, and pro-
vided with a staple, ring and chain, by
which it was attached to the wagon

COMEDIANS OF OLD GREECE
Statues Found in Tombs Show That
Funmakers Were Much Like
Those AppIauded Today.

The finding of some statues in an
ancient Greek tomb is an opportunity
for comparing the comedians OF OLD
times with those of today. The stat
ues are believed to date back to the
fourth century B. c. They are quite
small-in fact. few Of them measure
more than six inches in height-Dut
owing to the careful modelling they
are still quite hfelike in spite OF
their extreme age. These little nS-
ures represent the funny men of that
time. and it is curious to note the re-
semblance to the oddities OF Charile
Chaplin.
One associates flowing robes and
stately walk with the Greek actors
but these players are shown wear
ing short trousers and with an OBJ
v;ous caricature of stately gait.
Nothing was sacred from these come
! dians; even the greatest men OF the
day were subjects for their wit, Whicn
they carried to extremes. A good e3-
ample Of this Is statue of one OF the
funny men as Hercules, who was uni
versally admired and venerated in an
cient Greece. He Is shown wearing
his leopard skin lightly over one
shoulder, with his finger in his
mouth, looking coquettishly round
him.
The costumes Of these little figures
must have been brilliant; there are
still faint traces Of pink and yellow
on the terra-cotta of which the statues
were made.

OLD AND NEW BATTLE NAMES
Hard to Bestow Appropriate Appella-
tons Upon Conflicts Having
Wide Fronts.

There seems 20 have been little trou-
BILE in the past in naming battles. al
though even Waterloo is called Quatre
Bras by the French. But on the whole
a name seems to have attached IL
self to a battle quite naturally. like
Blenheim. Talavera, Jena. Leipzig, the
Nile and Trafalgar.
But in the great war. where a bat
tie extended over weeks of time over
a forty-mile front. including many viii
lagos, and sometimes several objec-
tives in the shape Of big towns, the
difficulty of naming battle with
name that is universally recognized is
extreme.
The names which have actually set
tied down completely and taken their
places in history are the battle OF the
AIarne, the two battles of Ypres. the
battle of Verdun. the battle of the
Blight, the battle of Jutland, the bat
tie of the Somme, and that seems al
most ALL
The battles OF the later phases OF
the war have hardly settled down to
name yet. Probably the battle In
which the vimy ridge was stormed
will be known as Arras; but the bat
tie of Messines will probably be a
sticker. just as the Chemin des Danes
will live in French annals for all
times.
Perhaps the great battle which at
the time seemed disastrous to British
arms. commencing on March q. 1913.
will go down to history as the battle
of Amiens, while the battle Of Cam
brai may stand for all that heroic re-
covery which brought the British to
their final victory.

whether he thought a Turkish bath
would prevent fellow from getting

Wonder What Poe Got for 1t.

Quite a while ago an author. Edgar

it hardly occurred to him that some

copy Of that periodical for 25 cents
and presently sell it to somebody else

that it did not. for the knowledge
