Deeds Of Modern Greeks Similar to
Those Of Their Ancestors Of Many
Centuries Ago.

Greeks are reported to be cOsslng
over into Asia Minor to resist the
forces Of Mustapha kemal's army and
take possession Of the territory given
them by the treaty Of Sevres, an expe-
dltlon which recalls the memorable
crossing Of this people 1900 years
ago, the subsequent siege Of Troy, and
the story Of the wanderings Of Acne
a., the historic founder of the early
Roman race.
About an hour from the sea, near
the Dardanelles, the ruins Of the an
Client city Of Troy stand upon an emf
nence looking out over the plains
where her immortal sons fell In her
defense. At It's foot the Scamander
winds to the sea, says a bulletin from
the Washington headquarters Of the
National Geographic society.
Excavations on the site have re-
vealed nine cities, built one upon the
top Of the other In times past. The
sixth from the bottom Of these Is the
Troy Of which Homer and Virgil sang.
Today there stands little to tell Of the
might Of the former Priam and Paris
and the splendor which the beautiful
Helen caused to be tumbled into dust.

hot SHOT, FROM THE DlyG.OIT

(By the Post Representative
The attention of all ex-service men
Is called to the fact that there will
soon be a way provided whereby the
discharges from the army can be nut
on record so that there will be no
danger OF losing them. The Clerk Of
Court has ordered a book for the re-
cording OF the discharges, which ought
10 De on hand shortly, after which ex-
service men will be at liberty to nut
their discharges on record in the
Clerks office, small fee, something
Ike nifty cents being charged for this
1t will pay every man with a discharge
to put 1t on record, so that II the
original Is ever misplaced he will havt
something to show for 1t. Also, q
man who does not live at Arcadia can
rerer anyone to his discharge without
having to make trip or sending the
discharge through the mail and a Ger.
tined copy can be made Of it at any
time in te Clerks Office.
This Is a great stunt, fellows, 50 be
prepared to take advantage Of it.

Saccharin Discovered by Accident.

Sacchartn Discovered by Accident.
Saccharln, 500 times as sweet as
sugar, and much In demand during
the war. was discovered, according to
the Basler Nachrichten, by an In
structor In Johns Hopkins university.
The story runs as follows:
In the summer Of 1878 the dlscov.
erer, G. Fahlberg by name, was try
Ing to restore certain organic bodies.
At the dinner table at the close Of Z
busy day he noticed that a piece Of
bread tasted uncommonly sweet. It
occurred to him at once that the
sweetness came from his hands,
though he had carefully washed them
before sitting down to eat. He hur-
ried back to his laboratory and tasted
all the glasses he had used In his ex.
periments. One Of them he found
exceptionally sweet. He analysed the
remaining drops and found that they
were a derivative Of benzol. In 1884
he set up an experimental factory for
the manufacturing of saccharin IN
New York.

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER
Europe, Exhausted by War, Must
Yield First Place in Medical and
Surgical Supremacy.

World leadership in medicine and
surgery no longer IS in Europe, but
has been transferred to the United
States, as one Of the results Of war
50 DR.. George W. Grille Of Cleveland
stated In his address to the American
College of Surgeons in convention at
st. Louis recently, says the Ohio State
Journal This country made enor-
nous contributions in all branches Of
medicine and surgery during the war;
he pointed out being particularly we'll
equipped to render that important
service because Of the research and
development work that have been so
conspicuous in the field Of scientific
medicine here during the last quarter
Of century.
With the end of the war European
nations are exhausted and have lin
llcu IcSUUiltS anu llltlc VI spun W
go ahead with that important work,
while this country has resources with
out limit and spirit equal to the OPP
portunity. Europe is all topsy turvy,
its famous old medical schools are
shaken, its great hospitals are ex-
hausted its professional life shocked
and Wearlcd. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked distinctness
when he says: 1.-THE torch, all but
gone out, has been handed us because
we alone are left the means to light
the way" It was his thought that the
medical schools and research institu-
tons Of the land be supplied with
every resource, their work broadened
and requirements raised, that the
World war opportunity may be devel-
oped and the problems of the future
met successfully.
