AMERICAN SEES PETRA

. MODERN. oRID FORGOT

-
New York. Oct Gan American
has seen Petra, the famous. rock ;:tapi-
tai of Arabia that disappeared from
the civilized world a, thousand years
before America was discoyer ed he
is f. M. Newman, the trayek lseturef,
who, accompanied by q guard fnr5
nshed by Prince sFelsGl sof the new
Arab kingdom Of Heajaz, tt,Rass sable TO
penetrate the Sinai: Peninsula reg!ort
which is occupied by hostile tribes
men.
Newman followed the trail used by
Burkhardt, the Swiss explorer who
rediscovered Petra early in the last
century. He travelled twenty-eig.ht
miles through a deep and narrow
gorge into the mountains and found
a city of buildings, temples, streets,
and dwellings carved from the solid
rock. He picked up tear bottles and
Roman and Hebrew coins in the
streets. He inspected houses that re-
main as they were on the day the city
ceased to exist. -
Dates to Dawn of History
Petra dates back to the dawn of
history. 1t is thought to be the Selah
mentioned in the Bible. The Arabs
say that Moses, leading the children
of Israel to the Promised Land, spent
twenty years there. 1t was ruled sue
cessively by Horite, Edomite. Nab
bataean. Roman, and Greek. Then, in
the fourth century, Petra ceased to
exist, destroyed either by flood or an
invasion of neo-Persians The world
forgot that it had ever existed. To-
day few half-starved Bedouins live
in the anvient tombs. Mothers cradle
their babes in stone collins and the
children play with utensils that
amused children centuries ago.
Sees "Pharaoh's Treasury"
Fewer than a hundred Europeans
have seen Petra since it was redis-
covere dby Burkhardt, Newman says
in the September Mentor Magazine
but with the postwar changes it is
possible that the ancient city will b
made accessible to tourists.
Newman brought back many photo
graphs of the lost city. One of the
most impressive is that of Pharaoh's
Treasury" a great temple carved in
the face of cliff; the Arabs believ"
it housed the. treasure Of Egypt ar
one time. To this day they emrtv

Surplus Funds From 1920.

That Virginia was able to let to
contract and resurface in excess of
sixty per cent more mileage of State
highway during the fiscal year of 1920
1921 than were let to contract or re-
surfaced during the two previous
years combined, is due to the accu-
mutation of funds left over from 1920
and the loans made by counties to the
State underf the Robertson Act. In
1919 funds were limited, labor and
materials were high and difficult to
procure. The State Highway Depart
ment has just begun to function with
Federal and State Funds with which
to build State highways and surveys
and plans had to be made. in advance.
In 1929 when prices continued high, a
conference was held between Cover
nor Davis and the ctate Highway
Commission, at which time it was de-
cidcd to hold up construction until!
prices were lower.

LAKELAND POSTOFFICE
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
DURING YEAR CLOSED

The total receipts at the Lakeland
postoffice for 1920 will show an in
crease of at least thirty per cent. over
the year 1919, according to Postmaster
Cresap.
For the closing quarter of last year
the receipts ran to total of $4,000,
a record-breaker for that period, and
the total receipts for the year ending
December 81 will run around $4,000.
During the Christmas rush, the
postoffice crew was kept on the jump
from early morning until late candle
light, and thousands of holiday pack
ages passed through their hands and
into the hands of those they were in
tended for. Three extra men were
used used during the holiday season,
But now the business has eased
down and everybody, or nearly every
body, has received all they expected
from the postoffice, and many of them
more, and they are satisfied. So are
the employees, though the man at the
general delivery window cannot have
breathing spell until the tourists be-
gin to drift back home about garden
planting time up north.

A Really Wonderful Blood Tonic That

Your face will tell you how your

mean bad blood, clogged with poison.
1t is dangerous. Your powers Of re-

When you work too hard, you get

1t is then your blood needs the help
of that great tonic, Pepto-Mangan. 1t

WOMAN'S CLUB
INSTALLS HOT
LUNCH SYSTEM

The hot lunches system was set in
operation yesterday at the Lake Nor
ton school and met with such an over
whelming response from the pupils
that Mrs. Carrier has been jestingly
accused of having made it's patronage
compulsory. The little ones came in
droves and clicked the platter clean"
The menu yesterday consisted of
beef-stew, macaroni and cheese, pota-
to salad, peanut-butter sandwiches,
lettuce sandwiches, milk, applies and
peanuts.
A corner of the basement has been
partitioned off with counters and
screens, and everything is light and
sanitary. The ladies in charge are
working at a disadvantage in that
they have no sink.
Mrs. Pearl Dickinson is in charge
and is particularly fitted for the work.
She is assisted by Miss Earle Rowe,
whose interest in the movement was
prime factor in its inception. The
Lakeland Woman's Club is backing
the enterprise, and has supplied most
of the equipment and guaranteed Mrs.
Dickinson's salary for tire first month,
after which the system is expected to
be self sustaining. The dishes are all
furnished at either three or five cents
apiece.
The Elks Lodge donated twenty five
dollars to the Womans Club for this
good work, and a personal contribu
ton of five dollars was received yes
terday. The pupils contributed the
purchase price of the white enamel
dishes Otherwise, the Woman's Club
has carried the whole matter along,
and is to be congratulated on it's
achievement. Club ladies are also Civ
ing their personal services to the
work, Mrs. d. L. Graham and Mrs.
j. S. Jewett lending their assistance
yesterday.
The Club will inaugurate the same
work in the Lake Wire school as soon
as it is feasible. 1t seemed advisable
to begin with one school and the Lake
Morton school building offers the
better facilities. With the success of
the system and its support on the
part of the pupils assured, the work
will be extended to include the Lake
Wire school.
