PRISON SHAPED LIKE EAR
Tyrant Of Syracuse Constructed Cave
So That He Could Hear conver-
sations Of Suspects.

The Ear Of DiOnysius was the name
given to celebrated cavern near
Syracuse in Sicily, said to have been
constructed by Dionysius the Elder,
tyrant of Syracuse, and used by him
MS a prison for suspected persons. This
cave was 250 feet long and so feet
high. 1t was fashioned in the shape
of human ear, and was so construct
ed that the faintest sounds were con-
veyed from all parts to a central cham
ber, corresponding to the tympanum
or drum of the ear. There this tyrant
secreted himself, sometimes, it is said.
for days. and listened to the CONVEX
sations of the unfortunates imprisoned
within.

were put to death to prevent them
from divulging the use to which 1t was

Restrictions of plebeians,

Roman commoners were called Pie
bcians and were originally forbidden
all political rights. They were for the
most part poor, and not allowed to
intermarry with the Patriclans They
served in the army without pay, were
sold into slavery for debt, and could
even be cut in pieces for distribution
among their creditors. Finding their
conditions intolerable, the Plebetans in
495 B. C. repaired to Mons Sacer, near
Rome, where they resolved to build
a new city; but this step so alarmed
the privileged classes that they grant
ed to the PlebeianS the right of choos-
ing annually from their own number
two magistrates. called rribunes. with
power to protect them against aggres-
sion of the Patricians. After the lapse
of about 200 years the disabilities OF
the Plebeians were almost entirely re-
moved.

Of the Red Cross membership drives
and the sale of Red Cross stamps with
marked success. Each year they have
also been helpful in the sale of
tickets for the Lyceum course which
brings to Redwood Falls during the
winter months several appearances of
the most talented artists of the day.
Last year, knowing how the heart of
the small boy yearns to do what their
big brothers are doing, these clubs
united with other organizations in
renting the armory for evenings, at
which times the youngsters were
given the unrestricted privileges of
the hall under proper supervision.
One of the newer organizations of
Redwood Falls is the Business Wo-
mems Club which was organized No
vember 21, 1922. This club has a
membership of thirty five, its mem
bers being nearly all girl employees
and business women of the city. For
thei1 convenience and recreation club
rooms are maintained over the Ga
zette office on Second Street. The
meetings of the club are held on the
second and fourth Mondays of each
month and the club president is Miss
Veronica Miller.
The Twentieth Century Club was
organized in 1913 and Federated in
1917. At the time Of organization
there were twenty members. How
