separate lectures yesterday.
Declaring that the two terms
thrifty" and misery" were NOT
synonymous, Mr.. Deyber offered the
following explanations:
Thrift does not mean being a
miser, denying yourself and family
all pleasure and comfort; but II
does mean personal efficiency and

then he has not opened his eyes to

BUILT BY ROMANS
ArCheoIogiStS ReveI in Discovery
of Old Temple.
Explosion Of German Bomb Unesrtned
Ruins Of Structure Believed to
Date From First Century.

A German bomb which played havoc
IN the heart Of Amiens in 1918 has also
caused much excitement among emf
nent psychologists. The bomb in
question plunged through a cellar and
in exploding laid bare the founda
tions of Roman temple dating back
it is said, 81 the First century Of the
Christian era.
Two thousand years Of history, OF
war and conquest and civilization lay
buried In this rubbish heap, with only
two or three fragments of stone wall
rising into the daylight above the
medieval and modern wreckage Of the
houses. These bits of Roman wall
spattered by high explosive stood in
tact through the rest of the war They
and their fragments in the dust re-
manned. only to invoke scOrn and dis
dain at the encroachments of an in
vading army that failed even in its CON
quest of modern Gaul The existence
Of this ruin offered striking indica-
ton of the advance of Roman ciyiliza-
tion in the northern provinces, for the
temple ruins are of vast dimensions
going under the street, fragments of
wall reappear again under demol-
ished house half a block away.
The objects of value found since
July 1920, when the temple was dis
covered, include many Roman jugs in
small size without 0rnamentation, q
considerable number of bronze and
gold pins and small articles attachable
to wearing apparel. In the bottom Of
tile well was found a bronze hand
mirror considerably furnished, but still
Alongside this were few women's
hair ornaments in bronze. There
were bone sockets for door hinges.
some curious pendants ascrlbed to the
wardrobe of Roman maidens before
their marriage, and the objects in
best preservation consisted of a group
of beautiful iridescent glass bottles.
There were also a number of coins
which, unhappily, are illegible.
The fragments of bas-relief, in the
opinion of older Psychologists, indi-
Gated that at one time the temple
had been richly adorned, as each
fragment was from a different section.
SO far there has not been any de-
clpherable matter found to throw
light on the history of the structure.
though from what records are obtain
able on early Gallo history and the
Roman conquest by Caesar, it is pre-
sumed the temple was constructed
during the first century after the col
Onization Of Gaul had been started
