GREEKS HAD DOLLS
1000 YEARS AGO
Tops and Marbles of B. C..
Days Similar to Toys of
Present Civilization

LONDON. Feb. 4. - Now that
is safely out of the way
perhaps the gentle reader would
like some suggestions for his next
Christmas shopping.
Anyhow. the British Museum has
some samples of what the long
suffering Pa OF 1000 years ago de-
vised to amuse the kiddies. You
turn to the left when you get past
old Cheops and his mummy harem
and there you have the cradles of
the cradle of the race. There you
may see what made Alexander
Great, what inspired Xerxes to JOIN
the army. what instilled in Helen
Of Troy her womanly virtues.
As the modern children of fire.
men play with small fire engines,
and those of war-profiteers play
with toy battleships. so, one might
suppose, the children of ancient
Greece played with bootblack
stands. But not at all. The only
trace, in fact. of what the un-
initiated might expect from the
fount, of Greek Culture. is a pair
of dolls shoes that could be put
on or taken of. There are, instead,
nicely dressed little Greek lady
dolls. looking like Antigone fetcn-
ing the vase of nectar. Tiny dolls

BRITISH AIR ARMY
TO SUBDUE RAK
Daring Experiment to Be Un-
dertaken by Colonial Secre-
tary Churchill.

LONDON. Feb. 4.-The possibility
of effective controlling a troublou-
country by means Of an "air army"
is TO be thoroughly tried out by the
British in Mesopotamia. or Irak. to
give il its new-old official name.
The originator of the scheme is Co.
lonial Secretary Winston Churchill.
who has undertaken many daring
and ingenious experiments during
his cabinet career.
When Churchill lad to face a
considerable amount of criticism
over the number of Anclo-Indisn
troops retained in Mesopotamia at
the expense of the British taXpay
ers. and he promised to replace
these troops Immediately with
'aeroplane patrols On going to
the colonial office. which is respon
sible for the supervision of Meso-
potamia. he was able to perfect his
plans and start an entirely new
scheme.
A fleet of $50 troop-carrying
acroplanes is under construction.
each capable of carrying ten sos
Hers fully able for fighting. and
two machine guns with necessary
ammunition. BY this means a COM
plete battalion of 1000 men can be
transported hundreds of miles
across the deserts and plains anc
concentrated in any troublous spot.
without the fatigue of forced
marches. and before savage
enemy expects attack. he can be
faced by a powerful and perfectly
fresh force.
4 number of these aeroplanes
have already been delivered anG
satisfactorily tested, so that within
a very few months the authorities
will have a unique but substantial
movable force ready to put down
trouble in any part of the dominions
nominally ruled by King F'eisui.

Cold Bitter But Bracing.'
. TT is colder here than Moscow,
most of this week being about so
degrees below zero. But il is dry
and bracing. Do not be alarmed
for US personally as we are getting
along in a good manner. We brought
our own supply of hour and bake
our own bread rather than take any
of the bread of this country, as it
means a saving in the supply here
and also in the resdjustment of our
digestions to this local stuff. We
know that nourishing food is not
self-indulgence, but absolute neces-
sity in the considering of ourselves
as machines which can only give
the maximum of service by being
kept in condition. The task of
equipping the interpreters with
clothing which is warm enough has
been a task. but the possibility of
drawing upon the relief clothing
has helped a bit.
TT did not take us long to adopt
the Iuls anu
with doors and windows shut and
a fire going. We are learning to
smell an open door several rooms
away just like a Russian does. A
mile between house and warehouse
seems most inconvenient at times;
but it has the advantage of forcing
some exercise In the open. The six
short hours of sunlight are of bril-
liant haanfV th.. nj oinG ofr In o
away like the sea 10 the south and
then to the north there is a line of
lovely hills. foothills of the Urals.
The wide generous streets of the
city itself are fascinating and it
must have been a charming place to
live in ordinary times
Transportation Worst ProbIen.
Rest assured that what we are
doing Is not just making people
comfortable, but turning the very
slight balance between life and
death for these thousands, and the
more you. send us the more of these
desperate folk have the chance to
live. There is food enough in the
world IL it can only be evened up;
but the actual problem of transport
Is terrible here. All the rolling stock
is old and it is too scarce to put
any of it aside for repairs; and so
engines are running along patched
with whatever material Of iron ana
wood is available. The last few
weeks have seen their fatalities in
the railroad work as one round
house to the south burned with
eight engines in 1t because one of
the oil-burners sprung a Teak. Abou.
the same time one engine exploded
on the road, losing not only the
engine but a number of passengers
who could not find a foothold on
the entire train and so had swarmed
up as usual all over the engine.
$50 1t goes, and the tragedy deep
ems with the cold. Christmas will
be upon us in few Gays and }
hope by that time we may have dis
tributed these carloads Of food and
clothing and that there will be the
news of thousands more. It Is =
gallant work you are doing in the
home country; for with the unem-
ployment in America and all of
those attendant ills we can under
stand that life is rather full of calls
for help. We wish you all Goo
speed with the task. May the new
year bring fuller capacity for SYM
pathy and strength for service"

SNARLS SREPLACESMLES
AS VIENNA LOSES MANNERS
City Has Forgotten It's Meticulous Country as
Parvenu Reigns.

VIENNA. Feb. 4.-By this time
everybody. even American back
woodsmen and possibly college pro-
fessofs. know that Vienna life has
been changed from a gay adaglo
to mournful third minor by the
war. and its hangover. But among
all the revolutionary changes none
Is probably greater than the trans
formation in manners, that COM
promise of civilized man known as
politeness.
Pre-war Vienna with its inlmlt-
able operettas. twilight sleep SAN
storiums. and lingerie invented
also the expression. BIT te shone"
and "Kys die hand" meaningless
In Germany. but which translated
mean pretty please" and kiss the
hand" But now only a faint echo
Of these can be heard amid the
snarls. oaths. and curses that
drown out the groaning of street
cars, the throbbing of motor cars,
and the other noises that dis
tinguish a great city from a farm
yard. Pre-war Vienna outdid the
Turk in the formality of bows and
obsequies and number of cups of
coffee and cigarettes to be con-
sumed during a business transac-
ton.
Only Few Signs Left.
Compared with a pre-war Vien-
nese plumber repairing a kitchen
sink, the best Anglo-Saxon expon-
seemed abrupt, awkward and i'll at
ease.
But to the naked eye the only
remnants of this pre-war polite
ness are the few extra door ten
ders doffing their hats and bowling
and the only reminder is the sad
face of the real Viennese as he oh
serves the new rich in action. This
story, of course, is written from
observation in cafes, theaters
operas, more cafes and other public
places and doesn't apply to Wen
nese home life where the real Wen
ner, imprisoned by economics,
brooks over a glorious past and
worries about an uncertain future.
Europe's Former Contempt.
Europe practically unanimously
for centuries has handed America

testimony that an American un-

the German votes for America be-
cause the American doesn't adopt
ideas made in Germany: the Italian
determines the extent of our being
i'll bred by the scarcity of Ameri-
can tenors; the fact that an Ameri-
can keeps his hat on in a bank
has caused the Austrian to vote for
America: the Hungarian realizes
the Americans lack of knowledge
on social conduct because Of the
latter's inability to beat his wife
properly; the Rumanian knows we
have no education in social affairs
because Of our old-fashioned primi-
tive ideas concerning the inviola.
