Ancient Crane sirup.

That the making of grape sirup Is
not new thing is shown by the writ
ings of ancient historians. Galen. the
Greek physician and writer, who lived
in the second century after Christ,
says that good many Asiatic wines
were stored In bottles which We're
hung in the corner of freplaces, where,
by evaporation, they became dry. This
process was called fumarium." The
Greeks had two kinds of wine, pro
toplon," or first juice of the grape be
fore pressing, and "deuterion," or
pressed juice. The Romans called
them "vnum primarium" and "vinum
secundarum" The juice before fer
mentation had started was called
"mustum' After this must, or juice,
had been through heating process,
It was known as ''fruitum," and when.
after long heating. 1t was reduced to
one-half or one-third its original vol
ume 1t was called "sapa." This was
equivalent to grape slrup and was
used by the Romans on their bread.

Perfect Human FIGURE.

There is much difference of opinion
on the subject of perfect human meas
urements, but according to Professor
Sergeant. one Of the best known au-
thorlties on the health of the Ameri-
can woman, the following measure
ments constitute the perfect figure
Height. 636 inches breadth Of neck,
rs inches; girth of neck, 12.1 inches I;
breadth of shoulders, Il inches; /;
breadth of waist, SO inches; girth of
waist. 24.6 inches: breadth Of hips.
12.1 inches; girth of hips. 35.4 inches ;
girth of calf. 1873 inches; girth of up
per arm, 101 inches; girth of thigh,
21.4 inches, and of forearm, 90 inches.
Many other authorities insist that a
woman should measure in height 3
feet five inches, or an inch and one
half taller than Professor Sargeant's
perfect woman.

which they found their way to Styx

Another precipitous descent down
black walls led them to a sand-coyer-
ed floor over which flowed clear
stream, and all shaded by great trees
that have withstood the torrents Of
ages.
The journey through Styx canyon
was picturesque and novel, some
times a wall from fifty to seventy

and laborious detours were made to

Reaching the point where the can

right hand passage, as leading them
nearer to their objective, and found
themselves in Boulder canyon, and
from that time till three o'clock they
crawled and clambered and lifted
and lowered themselves with great
difficulty over the thousands of boul
ders that through ages of the world
have found a resting place between
the PERCEPTIONS walls of Granite and
Twin Rock mountains.
On emerging from this difficult and
dangerous passage the scouts came
into the open plateau where lowered
before them Elks mountain on which
some of them had slept at night just
one week before. While on the west
rose Twin Rocks mountain, designat-

formation that crowned its crest

cliff rests two cap-stones, one on

out from the symmetrically fissured
and semi-circular wall of the cliff
extends a bowl-like floor, carpeted
with green and lined on each side
with low, moss-covered rock lodges,
all lending the appearance of some
great amphtheatre and the alter walls
of an ancient rock temple. The
scouts, though tired, were deeply i'm

wonderful formation.
Once out of the canyon the rest
of the journey was only a few miles |

On arriving at headquarters all
were most cordially received by Mr..

Chickasha Camp Boy Scouts o
America, July l6, 1920.
Another eventful week with exper
fences more woderfu and weirC
than any of the past has been the
lot of the scouts who hiked to Cha
ron's Garden mountains, in the ex
treme southwestern part of the Wich,
ita game reserve.
Starting early Wednesday morning
and sending two days provisions and
overnight equipment ahead by wag-
on to Taylor's ranch, three miles
from the nights camping place, the
scouts hiked first to Cache creek to
explore an old Indian mine where
years before the Indians tunnelled
some 100 feet into the canyons walls
in search q "money dust
The mouth of the tunnel was dis
covered hidden by mass of rock
and the scouts lined up in single
file with flashlights burning, and
cautiously entered the dark depths,
an experience for which the courage
OF some was not equal so they beat
a hasty retreat to the tunnels en-
trance, while the courageous ones
continued until they come to an i'm
passable wall, which they claim was
camouflage barrier and from which
proceeded strange sounds of means
and growlings that aroused the rest
less sense of fear and led to dig
nified, or strategic retreat, to the en-
trance where experiences and feel
ings were analysed to common con-
conclusion, viz: that the tunnel was
used by horse-thieves, who are said
to infest these canyons, and who
made the strange noises to terrify
the scouts and discourage farther in.
estigation of the tunnel.
On leaving the tunnels vicinity the
scouts continued their journey west
ward, reaching Taylor's ranch at the
evening hour, where taking their
provisions and equipment, they made
the mountain top after a toilsome
experience, and set up camp among
the rocks for the night.
From their camp-site the scouts
could view wonderful panorama,
for miles they could see the valley
plains dotted with farms and forests
and marked with streams and lSnes,
while in the distant west lowered
isolated mountains of the Wichita

THE CAST.

One of the events OF the theatrical
season 10 the appearance of Otis Skin
ner. 30 IL was fitting that a large
audience should greet him last night.
and that IL should manifest Its hearty
approval OF his portrayal OF the lead
ing role In a dramatization OF A. Il.
w. Mason's detective story, AT the
Villa Rose"
Mr.. skinner has appeared In this
city In varied characters. so that II
was no great surprise to md him por-
traying q detective. on the lines OF the
orthodox stage and fiction sleuth. but
with the added attraction of his NJ
ways picturesque personality.
The story told by Mr.. Mason diff
fers In large part from the ordinary
stage mystery in that the audience Is
always aware of the identity OF he
guilty persons. interest being tensely
maintained by the manner in which
the skilled detective gathers up the
loose ends of evidence. a thread here
and there, until he has woven a moose
about the neck of the murderer.
The plot concerns the murder of a
invested in jewels. which she keeps
hidden in her house. She has with
her. a young. girl, formerly q medium.
whom she has rescued from poverty
and distress and raised to affuence
and comfort as her companion. This
girl, Celia, seeks to rescue her bene-
factress from the grip OF the charla-
tans who surround the credulous old
lady, by disclosing some of the
secrets OF the spiritualist cult. The
old lady, however, places great faith
in the young medium and refuses to
believe her q fraud. One seance ends
in the murder OF the widow. and
Celia Is spirited away TO throw sus-
picion on her. Hanaud, the detective.
Is called in to aid the provincial
police and unravels the mystery with
main interest of the play.
Mr.. SINNERS genius and personal
ity lift a commonplace role to the
position OF a real Characterization
Under his exterior imperturbability
Is visible the keen, analytical mind
which builds a case from tribes and
sees quite through the deeds OF the
murderers. Then. too. are ever present
the breeziness. the swagger. and the
effervescent humor which are such
delightful characteristics Of Mr..
Skinner.
The supporting cast was good Made
line. Delmar was an appealing hes
oine. who did her best bit of work in
the last act. Octavia Kenmore, the
vengeful maid-servant: Jeffreys Lewis,
the rich widow, and Miriam Lewes. a
typical cold-blooded adventures, were
excellent in their respective roles.
The play. especially the fourth act,
Is beautifully staged.
