Deeds of Modern Greeks Similar to

Centuries Ago.

Greeks are reported to be cosSlns
over into Asia Minor to resist the
forces Of Mustapha kemal's army apd
take possession Of the territory given
them by the treaty of SevFes, an expe-
dition which recalls the memorable
crossing of this people 3;00 years
ago, the subsequent siege of Troy, ana
the story Of the wanderings OF Acne
as, the historic founder Of the early
Roman race.
About an hour from the sea, near
the DardanelJes, the ruins Of the an-
cient city of Troy stand upon an emf
neace: 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-
yeaed 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.

SurateaI Supremacy.

World leadership Ia medicine and
surgery no longer is In Europe, QUO
has been transferred to the United
States as one Of the results OF war,
so DIR. 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 ali 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 a century.
With the end of the war European
NATIONS are exhausted and have linn
tied resources and little of spirit to
90 ahead with that important work,
while this country has resources with
out limit and spirit equal to the op-
portunity. Europe is all topsy turyy,
its famous old medical schools are
shaken, its great hospitals are ex-
hausted it's professional life shocked
and weared. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked distinctness
when he says: The torch, oil but
gone out, has been handed us because
we alone are left the means to light
the way" 1t was his thought that the
medical schools and research institu-
tions 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.

How lsinglass Is Prepared.

Isinglass is the dried swimming hlad-
der of several varieties of fish. The
amount of gelatin in isinglass is from
Sc to % per cent, and even more. 1t
is prepared by tearing the air bladder
or sound from the back of the fish,
from which 1t has been loosened by
striking several blows with wooden
club, then washing in cold water. This
black outer skin is removed with a
knife, again washed and spread on a
board to dry in the open air, with the
white shiny skin turned outward.
TO prevent shriveling or shrinking the
bladder must be fastened to a drying
board. The best quality of isinglass
comes from sounds that are dried in
the sun. After drying the sound is
again molstened with warm water and
the interior shiny skin is removed by
hammerlng or rubbing. Finally, It Ia
rolled between two polished iron
rollers.
