Prolific Olive Trees,

There are few trees that bear edt.
bic fruit which are good for more than
half a century, the olive tree standing
alone with its long period of useful
ness to mankind. Some of these trees
are extremely long lived. There are
some In Syria which are known to be
more than 400 years old; and not only
are they in a fourishing condition,
but they bid fair to bear fruit for an
other century or two. Formerly the
olive trees were not expected to pro-
duce fruit oftener than once in three
years, but with improved methods of
culture they now bear abundantly
each season. In ancient times the
olives were thrashed from the trees
with sticks, but now the Syrians pick
them by hand, thereby preserving
their trees and also improving the
quality Of Il fruit.

nified Roman Senator.
Statesmen Of the Great Empire Might
Be Supreme Over All Mankind, but
They Were PowerIess to
Control Women.

The modern woman" with her new
found interest in politics and law,
making is not as purely a twentieth
century product as most of us imagine.
COldly historical records prove that
over 1000 years ago the gentlewomen
OF ancient Rome welded considerable
political influence. To repeat verbatim
the words Of Cato, the reform candi-
date of the times: eve rule all man
KlEd and we are ruled by our wives"
And while the fair citizens would
not register protesting vote against
undesirable legislation, they could and
did use other methods.
Take, for example, in 215 B. c.,
when a bill regulating wOmen's dress
was brought up before the Roman SEN
ate, Government control was no new
idea in the third century B. c., and
the Roman senator's were brave and
Sapient graybeards. Had they not
steered the nation safely through the
pertts of the war with Carthage and
settled the terms of the peace treaty
with q minimum amount of disSen-
sion? Surely with wave of their
collective legislative hand they could
settle once for all the trivial question
OF how much money a woman should
spend for clothes. So the law was
passed-the Lex Oppia.
Unfortunately, however, the maids
and matrons of the republic couldn't
see 1t. They definitely objected to it.
AS there was no equal suffrage at
Rome, they, Of course, could not at
tack the measure by the power of the
ballot, but law, to be at all effective,
has to be enforced. =
Let US not pry too closely into the
family secrets Of the senatorial house
holds! Why attempt to visualize the
dignified politician who swayed the
votes of hundreds trying to ex-
plain to his irate spouse that really,
my dear it was not a personal matter,
or trying to harden his heart to the
plea Of some dark-haired beauty as
she nestled her head against his Shout
der and begged him to stop that silly
old law. Whatever the methods of
the fair lobbyists, they were eminent
ly successful. In 195 B. c. the law
came up for discussion as to It's re-
peal.
When the question reached the SEN

militant tactics. They tried picket

4 "A his shoes, and, attended by a
/ procession Of church and
state dignitaries, all barefo0ted, and
followed by crowd of humber peO-
pie, walked from his cathedral church
of Old Sarum to a pleasant meadow
by the riverside, little more than a
mile distant. There and then he
founded the cathedral of New Sarum,
which, In but a few years, was to
spring from the greensward in the SIM
pie beauty associated with its newer
name of Salisbury cathedral; to en-
dure as the finest existing example Of
early English architecture, says the
London Telegraph.
/ After consecrating the site of the fu-
/ ture cathedral, Bishop POOre laid the
first foundation stone in the name Of
Pope Honorius; second for Stephen
Langton, Archbishop Of Canterbury,
and third for himself. William Lon
gespee, first earl of Salisbury, whose
altar tomb on the south side of the
nave Is masterpiece of statuary art,
laid the fourth stone; while the fifth

progress that three affairs were conse-
Grated in the new building within five
years Of the foundation ceremonies.
Why the Site Was Changed.
Tie founders of the new cathedral
gave several reasons for abandoning
the structure on the hill of Old Sarum.
One reason mentioned in the bull OBJ
tanned for the purpose from Pope Hon
orius, dated March %, 1919, was that
the billy situation of Old Sarum placed
the cathedral at the mercy of winds
so stormy that not only was 1t often
difficult to hear the words Of the serv-
Ice, but the structure became in con-
slant need of repair. Another trouble
was the inSufficiency of the water sup
ply and third was the most cogent
of all, the military in the neighboring
castle taking all possible pains to
show that they, and not the ecclesias-
tics, were the lords Of Old Sarum.
"What has the House of the Lord to
do with castles?" asked Peter of Blois
In support of the proposal to remove
