The shouter was Fred c. Hale,

special interest for students Of racial
history. Sardinians are small Of
stature Even their soldiers have an
average height fraction under five
feet, four inches.
But the most conspicuous curiosities
of Sardinia are its nuraghi, great
round towers, relics of the bronze age.
which served as fortified dwellings for
some prehistoric people. There are
5000 or more of these towers, some 60
feet high, usually about so feet in d.
ameter at the base, made of stone
blocks and smeared with clay on the
inside. Stairways lead to upper cham
bers and platforms.
Interesting as are these relics of un-i
known inhabitants, even more fasci-
mating are the traces Of ancient civili-
cations to be found in the daily life
of Sardinians of today. One may find
oxen blowing as they did in the days
of the Roman empire, implements
which were introduced by the success
sive occupants, one Catalan town
(Alghero) where there is no jarring
note in the Illusion Of old Spain, and
dances Of the classic Greek period at
the mountain feste.
Only in Sardinia and Corsica is the
mufoni, predecessor Of our sheep. to
be found. Wild deer and wild boar
are plentiful in the mountain districts.
Tunny fishing is major industry.
In area Sardinia is comparable to
Vermont, but has more than twice the
population Of that state. The island
lies directly south Of Corsica. and Is
separated therefrom BY the narrow
straits Of Bonifacio. In shape It has
been compared to a human footprint.

SARDINIA: THE ISLAND OF
PYGMIES AND WOLFRAM

A traveller Of fine imagination sug-
gests that travel involves double
journey-''one forward through space,
the other backward through time"
Your steamboat ticket from Civil
tavecchia, the port of Rome, entities
you to an eight-hour voyage to Sar-
DINA, but affords premium of sew
eral thousand years backward to Eu-
ropes earliest traceable history.
Sardinia has a double interest just
now because of the reported native
demand for home rule, and because
Americans have found tracts contain
ing wolfram, highly priced as source
of tungsten.
Second only to Sicily among Medi-
terranean islands, Sardinia has been
referred to as the lost isle Of that
sea. Geographically 1t has been said
to turn it's back on Italy, for its east
coast is mountainous. This isolation
has a compensation in preserving the
LomoGc2eity Of people who have a
