ALMOST ON MODERN PLANE
People Who FIourished Forty Centu'
ries Ago Ranked High in Scale
of Civilization.
sneeze. ADV

The dead civilization of the ancient
world possessed some secrets which
modern man has been slow in acquir-
ing. One of the most remarkable OF
these extinct civilizations was that of
the MinOan people in Crete, a people
who possessed a knowledge of sani-
tation that was lost for nearly 40 CEN
turtles and who dressed and lived, in
numerous respects, on a plane equal
to that of today.
In Modern Man and His Forerun-
ners," Fl. G. T. Spurrell, the English
historian and anthropologist, tells OF
this ancMnt people:
When abe early civilization of Crete
was growing it was in communication
with Egypt, where the great civiliza-
ton to which the pyramids belong
was flourishing. In Crete the physical
externalS of civilization, long since ex-
tinguished, were far more like ours
today than those of the civilization
which Immediately followed it.
The people built elaborate houses,
ORIGINATING them with view to using
the sunny aspect The dwellings were
sometimes four stories high. The stair
cases, decorations, bathrooms and APP
paratus for flushing and traps for
examining drains testify to a knoWl-
edge of sanitary science that was soon
after lost and only fully recovered by
another civilization nearly 40 cen
turtles later.
The Hellenic and Roman civiliza-
lions, which in due course grew up
after the Minoans had persisted, never
fully equaled them in these respects.
Only within the last century has sani-
tation been able to compare with that
known nearly 1000 years ago.
The ancient capital of Crete had no
Wall of fertilization. In this respect,
too, Knosses was modern in spirit.
Trusting throughout long period Of
its history to the immunity of isola-
tion and later to an actual supremacy
at sea, the Minoan capital, like Lon
tlOu anu w " lNA
the risk of capture rather than TO
cramp it's life within walls. And, like
London and Washington, it was fired
by enemies and rebuilt with greater
splendor and with no serious inter-
ruption to its prosperity, until at last
it's own vitality was spent and there
could be no recovery from an attack
in which the enemy within the gates
combined with the old foe from the
north to wreck the Minoan state.
In dress the Cretans, their women
at any rate, were strikingly like mod
ern Europeans of no far past date.
Their long, many-founced skirts, their
high-colored, embroidered, puff-sleeved
bodices, laced-in waists, gloves and
broad brimmed, fancifully trimmed
hats, were all nearly modern. The flow
ing robes Of the Greeks, when the
Hellenic civilization grew up after the
Minoan had fallen, appear to us anti
que in contrast.
AS Prof. Murray says: "We seem to
be moving in region that is next
door to savagery and in the midst of
it to have speech with men whom we
might gladly accept as our leaders or
advisers if they lived now"

The macadamized road costs from 81
