SURELY NOTHING IS NEW"
Discoveries in Babyona Give Re-
newed Proof Of Truth of the
Ancient Saying.

Six thousand years ago the ladies"
painted their cheeks and penclled
their eyebrows, according to DR.. E. j.
Banks, who gave an illustrated lee
ture before the photographed section
Of the American institute Of the city
Of New York, says the Evening Sun
of that city.
II was Doctor Banks who conducted
the expedition int Babylonia and
helped dig up the ruins of some Of the
ancient cities for which enterprise
John ID. Rockefeller contributed $780,
600 to the University of Chicago. In
telling Of Modern BabylOnia and Its
Buried Cities" the archeoogist had
thrown upon the screen pictures Of
many kinds Of earthen wares found
among the ruins Of the ancient dwell
ngs. one kind of twin vases at
tracted especial attention.
THAT" said the lecturer, Shows
that the ladies painted their cheeks
and pencied their eyebrows 6,000
years ago, just about like some Of
them do today The inside of one Of
the cups was red. while the other was
black. The twin vases were found in
room that was undoubtedly a
boudor Of the period Verify there Is
nothing new under the sun"

CEDARS MANY CENTURIES OLD
That Much Sure, but 1t Is Impossible
to Tell Age of Lebanon's
Famous Trees.

The age of the famous cedars Of
Lebanon has long been in dispute Lo-
cal tradition says they were planted
by God at the creation of the world
and that they will endure until the last
day.
That there was a great grove of
cedars on Lebanon in the days Of King
Solomon there can be no doubt as it
was from them that he obtained the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any Of those now standing were there
in SolomOn's time is a matter Of specu-
latlOn.
At the present day The grove con
tains $50 trees, Of which only 10 are of
large size. 1t is in the center Of a great
basin in the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea, A Mar0nte chapel is
on mound in the shade of the trees,
and here mass is said and on the feast
of the TRANSFORMATION Il great festival
takes place.
Several efforts to calculate the age
Of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings in the
heart wood Of those that have fallen,
These estimates, according to Prof,
4. Henry of the Royal College Of Sci
ences for Ireland, in an article in Coun-
try Life, vary from 2,230 years to $500
years, although it may be that they are
Of slower growth than the specimens
tested in other countries.
The largest Of the cedars is Is feet
IN diameter.

TOTEM POLES TELL HISTORY
Have Peculiar Significance Among
the Up-Coast Indian Tribes Of
British Columbia.

Totem poles Of the up-coast Indian
tribes Of British Columbia ten the his
tory Of that race. The poles are of
ethnologic and folklore significance,
have legendary symbolism, and carry
details of the tribe, clan, family and
individual Their painted grotesques
Of birds, beasts, fish and men are done
in blue, red and white upon a black
background
The right to use the totemic crest
always descends through the woman.
A tribesman uses the tribal crest of
his clan group in addition to those of
one or more guardian spirits he may
have acquired. If he is easy in max
ing friendships with birds beasts and
fishes he may have a Noah's ark of
them on his pole. The crests are also
carved on canoe prows, painted on
house fronts and woven into baskets
and blankets of goat hair or cedar
bark.
A man gets his reputation and
standing in the community, among
the up-coast tribes, not by what he
owns, but by what he gives away. If
he wants to be regarded as a "hiyu
tree" or person Of special conse.
quence, he aims to do it by giving
away more blankets than anybody
else on the coast.

The so-callcd emergency tariff bill
will not have such an easy time in the
Senate as it did in the House, and if
it finally gets by the upper branch of
the national legislature its veto by the
President may be expected.
The measure, which pretends to be
in the interest of the farmers, is a
fraud of the first water 1t will not
benefit the farmers should it be pass
ed again over the Presidents veto
but it viii be another burden added to
the load carried by all classes of con
Sumcrs.
The measure is framed in the inter
est of spectators. As emergency leg
islation to aid the farmers it is a piece
Of hypocrisy. American agriculture is
not suffering from foreign competition.
The only possible result of such legis-
lation can be to increase the cost of
living and put great fortunes in the
pockets Of spectators.
1t is apparent to everybody capable
of thought that farm prices have not
declined because of Importation of
food but because Europe is not able to
pay for the American foodstufFs of
which she is in such sore need. Legis-
lation in the real interest Of the Amcri-
can farmer and of humanity in general
would not put up bars against imagin-
airy imports but would provide means
whereby the American surplus of food
could be exported to the peoples who
are starving but have no present means
TO purchase
But the trainers Of the emergency"
tariff bill were not actuated by
thoughts of real helpfulness to Ameri-
can agriculture or to starving Europe
They were playing politics, hoping to
fool the farmers into the belief that
they we're really doing something for
agriculture, and at the same time paw
ing the way for a geeural tariff reyis-
ion upward when the Republican party
comes into full power next March.

Proper Use Of Handkerchief.

The incorrect use Of the handker-
chief is, according to Or. William S.
Tomln, one of the most prolific
causes of acute disease Of the middle
ear with consequent deafness. He
says in the indianapolis Medical Jour
nal that the average adult constructs
the nOstrils when he blows his nose,
thus producing extraordinary com
preston of the air in the naso-
pharynX.
When he has a cold there Is infec-
tion and swelling around the eustach-
ian tubes, and the effort to eXpel the
compressed air through the construct
ed nostrils is likely to blow some of
the infected mucus into these tubes,
thus starting the trouble.
When a person has cold he should
sleep on his side and not on his back,
Tor thus he will establish good drain
age from the eustaclian tubes.

THURSDAY JANUARY g, 1921

The spectacle of 1000 persons fight
ing their way toward the doors of the
Court House in Bridgeport to witness
the trial of a couple of milk dealers and
a brokers' widow for the murder of the
widows husband viii be considered
by the shrewd business men who pro-
duce public entertainment.
If that is what the public wants-if
1000 persons in a minor city cry for
it, fight for it, many fainting in the
crush with their faces toward it, jaws
set fists clenched, eyes glazed-it is
easy enough to produce the like Of it
upon the screen or upon the stage. 1t
can be initiated in a book. Persons en-
gagged in the manual trade of writing
best sellers will take notice.
As business men the producers who
learn what the public wants" are not
at fault 1t is only when they judge
the public by the mob to which they
cater, and when they enter seriously
into ethical discussion, that they are
in error.
While 1000 men, women, youths,
girls struggled to get into the court
room to witness a trial proceeding
from a sordid crime ten times as many
men and women and youths and girls
who easily could have joined the crowd
and participated in the scramble re
NAMED aloof, feeling not the slightest
inclination to witness the trial.
Those who do not patronize the sor-
did entertainment, in the thcatcr or in
the court house; those who do not
patronize the sordid book, remain in
obscurity The doings of the mob are
written in the criminal trial reports, in
the records of box Offices and in the ac-
counts of publishers who pay royalties
to authors of mcrctricious books.

The threat Of Martens, Russian Soy
let Ambassador" to the United States,
to get even for his deportation by can
ceiling Russian orders in the United
States, may cause some uneasncss in
plutocratic circles that put the dollar
mark above all other considerations,
but it will not affect the policy of the
government, under the present admin
istration.
The United States has consistently
refused to recognize the Soviet govern
ment of Russia on the ground that it
was not representative Of the Russian
people and hold power only by brute
force and against the wishes and in
terests Of the helpless majority. In
spite Of this attitude Martens was sent
over here as the accredited representa-
tive Of the Soviet government, osten-
sibly TO try 10 obtain recognition, but
in reality to spread Bolshcyist propa-
ganda and undermine the American
system of government
Martens is understood to have nego-
tiated large contracts with American
manufacturers, aggregating in round
numbers some S5O,00O,O00. II Is these
contracts which viii be cancelled, II is
declared, in retaliation for Martens
deportation. The Siberian concession
obtained by one yanderlip, who repre-
sented himself In Russia as friend
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1921-01-06

and political advance agent for Presi-
dent-elect Harding, is also in jeopardy,
The best American public sentiment
will uphold the attitude of the Wilson
administration toward the Russian
Soviet government and its agent, be
the consequences what they may with
regard to these concessions and CON
tracts. Americas honor is not to be
made an object of barter and trade so
long as Mr.. Wilson occupies the White
House. Whether there will be differ
ent policy when his successor becomes
President remains to be seen.

"SPlTE HOUSE, THERE YET
b. stpn Building Is Said to Go Back
to Days Of the American
Revolution.

What is believed to be one of the
narrowcst and oldest dwelling houses
in this country Is that at A Hull
street, Boston. The house Is less THAI
II feet wide and its erection is said TO
date back 10 the American Revolution
airy period, The dwelling, constructed
of wood and particularly peculiar in
the midst of the modern brick struc-
lures IN that vicinity, is located direct
ly opposite the entrance Of Copp's Hill
buryIng ground and within the shad-
ow OF what once was the ammunition
barracks of the British army. 1t Is u
feet long, with its entrance on HUI
Street place, which is also so narrow
that one has almost to enter the alley
way sldewse. There are three stories
and an attic floor One room, the
kitchen, is ia the basement, and on the
street floor are the dining and living
rooms. There is "A bedroom above
these, and on the third floor Is another
bedroom
The dwelling is referred to by North
Enders as the spite House" 1t
earned this sobrlquet according to
legend that has been persistent for
years to the effect that the original
owner, a Tory, had the house erected
to shut off the natural light from the
home of n neighbor with whom he had
auarreled. As the result Of the al
legged spite" the neighbor, so the leg
end goes, was Obliged to keep a can

Neither Premier Lloyd George nor
Sir Hamar Greenwood, in defending
the Governments course in Ireland, has
ever been able to invent a plausible
answer to the charge often made and
again repeated in the report of the
Labor Commission. 1t is not possible
for the Government to evade response
bility for the outrages perpetrated by
forces that it maintains in Ireland os-
tcnsibly for the preservation of law
and order The Labor Commission
sums up the whole case in a few
words:
We do not believe the Govern
ment directly and definitely inspir-
ed rcprisas and violence, but while
il has perfunctOrily denied certain
occurrences which are beyond
doubt ii has associated itself with
and defended crimes committed by
the Crown forces in Ireland.
Blame for the present situation
does not rest primarily with the
members of the Crown forces but
with the Government.
So long as it keeps in Ireland on any
pretcxt armed bodies Of men that it
cannot control the Government must
be held directly accountable for their
acts of lawlcssncss and violence Whcr-
ever Black and Tans or other men in
uniform have broken out of bounds
and tcrrorizcd whole communities, it is
the Government that must plead guilty.
Indiscriminatc murder and destruction
have been carried on for months I'M
der the name of rcprisals, and what
ever the provocation in certain in
stances, they have become the accepted
practice in districts where the Crown
forces are stationed In spite of high
professions made at Westminster, very
few men have been tried or punished
and nothing accomplished toward
checking reprisals,
The Labor Commission passes only
fair judgment when it declares, "Blamc
does not rest primarily with the mem
bcrs Of the Crown forces but with the
York World
