USE UNIFORM
TO MAKE MONEY

Keokuk may be visited by some
former service men selling book.
The proceeds are said to be for the
benefit of the injured veterans, but
Muscatine Legion officer who de-
manded credentials of the soldiers
found some interesting facts, which
are shown in the following from the
Muscatine Journal:
The men stated that they had the
backing Of the war department and
were sent out by the adjutant general
of the army and that the money
raised by the sale OF their magazines
was used to help the disabled soldiers
and sailors The money was rolling
in rapidly until one of them tackled

HELSINGFORS IS .
: ONE MODEL CITY
Tucked Way Off in Corner OF Finland
Where Lakes and Birch Trees
and Rocks Prevail,
Ii is Unusual.

Helsing fors, Finland, might give
lessons in the municipal amenities
to almost any American city, al
though it is tucked away in the north.
in a bare little land of rock and
lakes and birch trees, in the latitude
of the southern end of Greenland,
writes Arthur Ruhl in the Outlook.
do not happen to know OF any
A american city so consistently clean
and we'll built. They post no bills
in Helsingfors. They tie them AROUND
posts with strings, and when they
have served their purpose. they dis
appear. strings and all. Every morn
ing there is a market on the broah
QUAY at the end of the esplanade:
fish, flowers, meat and vegetables
even Oregon apples. which contr1ve
in spite of distance and almost pro
hibitive rates of exchange, to cross
the sixtieth parallel. A few minutes
after noon you would never know a
market had been there. Stalls fo.d
I'D, rubbish disappears, street clean
ers turn on the hose, and presently
the quay is as clean as tennis
court.
The Helsingfors gas tanks are not
the dismal contraptions that disfigure
most of our water fronts. The tank
itself may be the same, but they build
a neat brick house for it-a sort OF
roundhouse, with stone
wreaths around the top by way OF
frieze, quite in place among buildings
intended for potter uses, and not
without some suggestion OF the castle
of St. Angelo in Rome.

ROMAN VESTALS
WERE PUNISHED
There are Several Instances Cited IN
Y History Where They Were Buried :
AIive-Polynices, Sister oflgt".
Antizone was One of Them.

Burying alive was mode Of pun
ishnent adopted in Boeotia, where
Creon ordered Antizone, the sister
of Polynices, to be buried alive IN
1925 B. c.. Il says "a writer, IN the
American Catholic Quarterly Review.
The Roman vestals were subjected 10
it for levity that excited suspicion OF
their chastity. At the extremity CT
the Quirinal, between the Colline
gate and the place where later on
stood the famous garden OF Salust'
was the campus Sceleratus, or &C
cursed field.
Here was a subterranean chamber
in which the guilty priestess was
buried alive Stretched out upon a
bier. covered over with heavy drapeiy
to stife her cries, she was borne in
mournful procession across the
Forum, through the silent crowd. to
the vault, in which was placed a bed,
a lighted lamp, some bread. little
water, milk and oil-prOvisiOns for
one day in that eternal prison-glven,
not in mercy for the poor victim, but
the mocking help Of piety unwilling
to acknowledge to Vesta the murder
Of one Of her virgins. When the
funeral train had reached the fatal
vault the high priest offered up silent
prayers; the bier was uncovered, and
the victim wrapped in her white veil.
as in a shroud, descended by ladder
into her tomb, which was speedily
covered up by slaves. The earth
above was soon leveled so that no
trace might be found of the place
where, in the darkness of the tomb.
the guilty vestal had expiated her
crime Nor did her punishment end
here.
No libations, which even the
poorest Roman offered to the names,
were made here. The unfortunate
maiden was cut Off from the world
of the living and of the dead. The
spectators, after the carrying out of
the sentence, slowly and silently dis
persed, deeply impressed by the ter
