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

The finding of some statues in an
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-but
owing to the careful modelling they
are still quite lifelike in spite of
their extreme age These little fig
ures represent the funny men of that
time, and it is curious e p9ss tbs re
semblante to the oddities Of Charlie
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
vious caricature Of q stately gait.
Nothing was sacred from these come
dams; even the greatest men of the
day were subjects for their wit, which
they carried to extremes. A good ex-
ample of this is a statue of one of the
funny men as Hercules, who was uni
yersally 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.

I wanted wire paper clip. Miss
Smith, also new to the ministry, said
she would fetch some from the store
keeper. That's what started the pat
ter. I pinned the loose papers to-
gether and went on with my work.
The storekeeper had evidently re-
fused to part with any clips Without
an order. Miss Smith brought nls a
printed folder Containing 3 request for
paper clips. wire,@ which she had
typed in triplcate on paper headed
Ministry of Economy. For depart
mental use only" She said 1t was the
right thing to do and l was to sign 1t,
and then Mr.. Jones, downstairs, would
deal with 1t. 1t sounded quite limo

Later In the week the folder came
back. 1t contained several extra
sheets of paper and had evidently

The first minute was from Mr..
Jones: in reference to Mr. Tenn
porary's request for paper clips. wire,
for departmental use, fail to see
what advantage these have over paper
clips, brass, which are In use IN my
department"
Mr.. Robinson said that the question
opened wide field, and he had re-
quested the storekeeper to let him
know how many paper clips, brass, he
had In stock. "See attached sheets A
and Al" These were q formal request
to the storekeeper, and his reply, to
say he had 81 one-gross boxes on hand
and one box. partly opened, which he
estimated to contain go. If the exact
number was required he would have
the clips counted.
Mr. Short pointed out that his col
leagues had not noticed that the mat
ter was one which came within the
province of the ministry of wire draw
ing. He had consequently put through
a request for price at which paper
clips. wire, could be supplied. He at
tached carbon copy of his letter. and
a reply from the applied wire depart
ment ministry O. wire drawing. to
say tAAS ht1ttcA was itNSiNiNH dlttuAtou

The next minute was from a gentle
man who had evidently set the vast
machinery of the directorate Of office
supplies and sundries at work. At
tached were papers from them to say
they had paper clips, wire as well as
paper clips, brass, in stock. They
wished to be certain that no change
in design was necessary, and were
sending, by motor, samples of the pa
per clips (wire) they had in stock, as
perhaps one or other might prove suit
able. Appended were other papers OF
which the first was from the chief of
the departmental garage to say he had
motor at Huntington awaiting a con-
signment of paper. He had instructed
the driver to return at once. On his
arrival he would dispatch goods as
requested.

Lakeland's Plan Of Entertaining

The Lakeland auxiliary in enter
tanning the conference provided lodg-
ing and two meals to the delegates
and visitors, allowing them to get
lunch where they pleased and at
their own expense. This enabled the
housekeepers to attend the meetings
regularly every day. This plan evi
IDENTIFY pleased the ladies, for they
voted overwhelmingly to go 50 Kis
simmee next year on the same basis
when another church was urging an
invitation and promising full enter?
tainment.
In one of her fine addresses Mrs.
Hargrove called the attention Of the
women to the fact that under the
new law of the Methodist church they
are now enjoying full layety rights
with all the privileges held by The
men She said this increased their
responsibility, and that it might soon
or or later cause them the loss or
their organization as 1t Us rocog'
nized as at present but she consoled
the ladies with the assurance that the
r,en folks appi eciate what the women
are doing, and she thinks the regular
organizations of the women will con-
tinue for some time.
In speaking of the Centenary con-
tributlons she urged the women TO
make their own pledges In the Dig
drive. and criticized the old plan OF
the head of the family paying for
the whole crowd. She says 1t IS not
right. and is not in accordance with
the Scriptures.
