day night r. @. Breckenridge OF
Pueblo. who gave . most inspira.
tjonal talk. Mr.. Breckenridge Ia an
opiimist and while his expressions
have Invariably the rosy tinGs. his
reasoning Is nevertheless sound. In
his discussion Of what 10 the mat.
ter with the world" the speaker
showed that the people themselves
are 10 blame In extravaganza, waste
aad failure to fortify themselves
against times Of adversity.
In reference 10 the present de-.
piorable condition Of the potato
market. affecting this valley most
directly. Mr.. Breckenridge stated
that In his opinion potatoes would
bs selling at better than soc before
tkr end Of January. He bases his
theory for this opinion upon the
fact that under tho present pro-
ducsrs' strike" In shipping their
potatoes. the surplus In tho markets
would become exhausted and .
healthy demand would follow which
would call for the potatoes now In

County Got Two Grand
Champions At La Veta

Perfect proof of the fact that It
y almost impossible to Reat the
cattle raised In the San Luis valley
was demonstrated fast Friday and
Saturday at the first annual
Huerfano county stock show held al
La Veta when five local men took
fifteen head Of cattle and came
home with two grand champion
prizes. seven first prizes. three
second prizes and one third prize.
Each exhibitor took at least one
first prize. The four cattle not re-
ceiving prizes were ranked high on
the list. The Journal had prophesied
that the valley cattle would be rib
bon winners.

hoping that the premiums would at
least pay most Of the expenses. The
prizes not only paid the expenses
but left little money over.
Headlee received first and second

and second junior Hereford bull
calf; Sanderson and Sons first and

shorthorn bull and third on three

The New York herald., 1922-03-19

With extraordinary good fortune he
hit upon the exact spot to begin his dig
ging, for after four days work his men
uncovered slabs of stone. vertically
placed, eighteen feet from the surface OF
the ground
Carefully removing these stones, which
spread out into circle ninety feet in
diameter, there came into view a circu-
lar altar and several huge soft stones, on
the sides OF which we're carved in relief
figures in the postures of making offer
ings to the dead few feet below there
came to light group of rock hewn graves
each rectangular, and each from sixteen
feet to twenty-five feet wide and half
again as long.
They had been carefully lined with
wall of quarry stones and clay, and rooted
over with the stone slabs. Some OF the
roof stones had fallen at some time dur
ing the last four thousand years and
mingled with the bodies was the debris
of the fallen stones and the dust and
pieces of broken potteries and frescoes.
1t was on the sides of these vases and on
the frescoes Gabriotto found his feminine
figures. their faces still bearing the traces
Of the paint which the primitive artists
had put on them in portraiture Of their
rouge and cosmetics.

sentations Of two lions attacking an OK;
scales, ffty-one embossed pieces of gold
and seven hundred odd ornaments, which,
the frescoes explained were for sewing on
garments.
How many women had owned this store
Of jewelry? Only one-for there was but
one body in this tomb, evidently the body
OF the daughter OF a rich merchant. In
one corner Of the tomb, still well preserved.
stood tall stone, on which a sculptor had
modelled likeness Of this young woman
as she was in life. The figure might well
have passed for a crude attempt at the
sculptoring Of young woman OF to-day
with smaller waist perhaps than now is
customary, and with hair coiled instead
Of bobbed. But there are the same red.
dened lips the same darkened eyebrows
and the same shortened skirts. They are
the same skirts Schliemann found in a
tomb erected thousand years later, except
that the later skirts extend to the ground.
Does this seem to indicate that having
reached the height of her development, as
has the Flapper of to-day, these ancient
ones began to grow more sober and "old
fashioned" after Helen's time, until the
young woman of our grandmother's sedate
times developed? If So is the Flapper era
but an epoch Of a cycle OF centuries, with
4N.- n nAA
years or so?
This question is seriously raised by Prof
Gabriotto's discoveries. Helen Of Troy,
/. would seem, reached the highest develop
ment Of the Flapper stage. She used the

lip stick and the eyebrow pencil. She
adopted decollete and shortened her gar
ments. After her age the young women of
Crete and Greece proper became more con-
servative. The Trojan war perhaps moved
them to sedateness, just as the recent great
war seems to have moved Helen's modern
sisters to extraordinary blitheness.
The scientist Schliemann twenty years
ago discovered the ruins Of ancient Troy,
or, at least, he identified ruins which were
TO some extent known as the city Of Meme
las. Gabriotto began his new explora-
tions by penetrating further into the re-
cesses of these ruins than had his prede-
cessor. The sagging Of a section Of the
wall around the north wing Of what has
been identified as King Priam's palace
attacted his attention. He dug over the
neighboring surface until he had the salts

chamber which seems to have been a
room connecting with some subterranean
passage from the central part Of the
palace-perhaps secret tunnel laid by
the palace slaves as a mode of escape

The earth had fallen in. however leav-
ing only the single chamber partially in
tact Here Gabriotto made a most inter-
esting find which now stands In the mu-
scum at Gambia, where most Of the relics
Of Crete are housed. This was a huge
vase. larger than any other well pre-
served pottery so far unearthed, around
which were carved four portraits in bas
relief. Dust had lain for the many, many
centuries since the chamber was aban-
doned over this vase and this had pre-
served beautifully almost the original
tints of the colors used by the ancient
artist.

being that they desired to spread Gandhi
propaganda as the men were doing. Each
country seems TO have its own peculiar
kind of Flapper and each country
seems these days to be discussing her

must have discussed the Flappers
Prof. Gabriotto has found. The question
that remains is, will the modern Flapper

The New York herald., 1922-03-19

The young women Of the Crete of few
were pretty we'll known. Here were young
women Of the Crete of many centuries be-
fore There is doubt as to the exact age
Of these carvings, but Gabriotto is of the
opinion they we're made fully 1000 years
ago, but he is certain they are not later
than the fourteenth century B. C.
1t is interesting to observe also that the
Flappers OF this age-when the Flapper
was just beginning her complete develop
ment-were as fond OF odd jewelry as they
are to-day.
In some tombs there were female bodies
as well as male 1t was apparent that
these tombs had been closed only after the

There was a profusion OF gold ornaments,
the majority Of them corresponding to the
ornaments the artists Of the frescoes and
vases had depicted on their feminine fig
ures. The most of these were masks, head
bands. breast pieces and bracelets; rings,
pins, dagger hilts such as only would orna-

In each tomb were many pieces of wrought
ivory, amber, silver, bronze and alabaster
the majority Of them plainly decorations
made to please feminine fancy.
The explorer makes detailed account Of
the find in one tomb. six gold diadems,
fifteen pendants, eleven neck coils, eight
hair ornaments, ten gold grasshoppers ex-

Accurate Survey Made
Of the Girl of Long Ago

''On the frescoes we see that the women,
particularly the younger and more attrac-
tive types, bare their chests, rouge their
lips blacken the skin around their eyes
and darken their eyebrows and lashes.
Their skirts no longer are the severe dra-
peries of the first Hgean period, but are
fiounced and tightly shaped to the hips;
their waists are bound by some primitive
corset and their hair either is cut close or
tightly bound--in marked contrast to ear
1er customs.
There is no doubt that the artists who
worked these bas-reliefs and potteries
chose for their models not the older and
more retiring matrons or the daughters of
the powerful families who might be ex-
pected to lead conservative lives, but the
more audacious young women OF the peo-
pie. Undoubtedly these models were
painted, sophisticated dolls, many Of them
