USED By ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
craeco- Roman Medical and Surgical
- instruments Of Bronze Now In
Johns Hopkins University.

William II. Buckler, who served on
the staff of the American embassy in
London during the war, has presented
to the Archeologist museum of Johns
Hopkins university, Of which he was q
former trustee, a set of ancient Graeco-
Roman medical and surgical instru-
ments found two years ago near Kolo-
phon, in Asia Minor. IT, -
The collection was on exhibition In
London and was formerly In the pos
session Of the late Alfred, o. Van Len
nep Dutch vice consul in Smyrna, who
owned a large estate near Kolophon
and was well acquainted with the ex-
cavations and discoveries in that VI
cinity.
The instruments, SO in number, are
all Of bronze, with but one exception.
They were probably the property of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
D., and the fact that they were all
found In one place is doubtless ex'
planned, in the opinion Of experts, by
the ancient custom Of burying per-
sons worldly possessions with him.
The set includes surgical knives and
! elevators, forceps, tenacula (sharp
hooks), a unique drill bow. for. use in
injuries and diseases Of the skull,
scoops, probes and cautery.
The drill bow is, from the point OF
view of the archeologist, perhaps the
| most interesting object. It is like a
tool used by carpenters. ~ - b.

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL TOMORROW
Opens Throughout Country Armistice
Day and Extends to Thanksgiving
Plans of Brattleboro Branch.

Tomorrow will be the opening day
throughout the country of the fourth
Red Cross roll call which vii continue
to Nov. % These dates carry with
them special significance inaSmuch as the
opening is the celebration of Armistice
day. and the closing will be Thanksgiving
day-one the occasion of renewing mem
ories of those who fought in the World
war and the other an occasion of thanks.
1t has been demonstrated that as the
Red Cross is a factor in time of war so
it is a necessary factor in time of peace,
and believing that the people of this
town and community realize the need of
continued activity by the local branch
and the national organization in general,
the local branch, upon whom falls the
responsibility of carrying on the roll
cal here looks to sympathetic feeling
of responsibility of citizens and a CON
sequcnt successful campaign.
Half the amount of each yearly local
membership fee remains in the treasury
of the local branch while the remainder
goes to the national organization.
1t is expected that within a short time
the local branch will be called upon for
active work. and a system of securing
knitters, seamstresses and workers along
other lines is being arranged so that the
burden of the work which win be ex-

viii not fall upon the few faithful ones
alone.
An explanation of the meaning of the
roll call and the background of the ap-
peal are given in the following para
graph:
Once year the American Red Cross
calls on the American people to renew
their memberships in the organization.
or to take out initial memberships if
they have never done 50 before. This
is the Red Cross roll call. The roll call
is not simply a campaign for funds: it
is the annual survey Of the roster of mem
bers the collection of next wears dues
from those already on its books and af-
fofding an opportunity for others to
share in its work. This is the answer
to those who say they are weary of the
numerous campaigns and drives that
have not ceased with the termination of
the war"

WHY NOT ARRANGE
TO MEET SPAULDING?.
Fans Here Would Like to See Barre
Team i'm Action - Is Claimant of
State Championship Honors.

A football article in the Rutland Her
aid today regrets the necessity for post
poning the Rutland-Brattlebor high
school football game from Nov 20 and ex-
presses satisfaction over the decision of
the central board in awarding Rutland
the victory. which was technical. over
SpauIding high in the recent disputed
game. The article concludes as follows /:
Local observers of football maintain
that when Rutland defeated Spaulding
they defeated one of the best scholastic
elevens in the state not excluding the
Brattleboro eleven. Fans will hope that
the local boys viii have entirely recov-
cred from the vaccinations that the game
may be played this year. They were
unanimous last evening when discussing
the matter that the welfare and c0ndi-
tion of the local school boys should
come first"
As Rutland admits that Spaulding high
of Barre is worthy of being considered d
claimant for state championship honors
it would seem advisable to try to secure
game with that team in Brattleboro if
possible for Nov. 20. In case the Rut-
land -BrattlebOro game is not PLAYED this
year, and the question is now very un-
certain, a game with Spaulding would
furnish the nearest possible test of the
comparative merits of the three teams.
which on the strength of their season 5
record undoubtedly rank the highest in
the state. The fans here would like to
see the Spaulding team in action.
