ROMAN RUINS WILL |. USE MUSEUM PLACE
One of Most Interesting Finds
 Made in England

Harrogate. Nov. 7.-Further de~ tails of the discovery near Harrogate of the c,0oO-year- old Roman city Of Isurium make 1t apparent that the city covered about 70 acres and was surrounded by a wall a mile in cir conference, nine feet thick, and about 20 feet high.
 The find Is one of the most Inter esting made in England for 5o years and has attracted the attention of noted archeologists of Great Britain and the continent, The excavations were easily recognized as the ancient Roman city by coins and other relics found. Its location is on the exact spot indicated in the sixteenth cen tury maps of Roman Britain.
 Already much of the wall has been exposed, including portions of a null tiangilartoTer. Close by were DOT tions of a building, probably grain warehouse, with the stone work in perfect preservation. A Roman road 30 feet wide was discovered short distance from the granary,
 Many coins and much pottery and glassware have been found scattered over the entire city. The work will
 be continued until the entire city has been uncovered. It is probable that most of the relics will be presented to the British Museum.

remote districts by couriers who travel by horseback over the rough mountain trails, fording glacial rlv- CTS and oftentimes risking their lives to reach the nearest telegraph or telephone office from which their dispatches may ho filed, When the American world flyers reached Hornafjord in their recent flight across the Atlantic, they found awaiting them one local newspaper correspondent who had traveled by fishing boat from Seidlsfiordur, nearly two hundred miles to the eastward,
 Although mails arc slow in the re- mote districts, there Is an unusually comprehensive telephone and tele- graph system, and most of the smaller towns are in direct touch with the capitol in this manner.

MOTOR TRADE BRISK
British Automobile Business Is Bet fer Although Trade Duties Have Been Taken on.

London, Nov. T.--The withdrawal of the McKenua duties has not hurt the British motor trade, according 10 Sir John Simon, who in recent address said:
 Birmingham happens to be both the Mecca of tariff reform and the principal market for motor shares. Since the McKenna duties came off, Birmingham newspapers announce that the market in motor shares is very active, that the threatened for eign invasion is being met by bet ter article at a reduced price and that the British light car industry is well established. Gramophones tell similar tale. Manufacturers, 1t was reported, were passing through Ia period Of unexampled prosperity. i There was similar prosperity In the piano trade, and possible shortage of pianos"

Success in Treating
 Sleeping Sickness

London, Nov 7,--What Is claimed 10 be the successful treatment of cases of sleep sickness" by inocu- laHon, is described by the Daily Mail as having occurred in the Lanca- shire Union lnhrmary,
 A boy patient, says the Mall, de veloped the disease and the doctor inoculated him with special vac cine. A woman was admitted later suffering from sleepy sickness, and the doctor inoculated her with blood serum from that boy. The woman improved almost immediately and is now In perfect health, and the boy also recovered. The ministry of health is investigating the claim.

 The tendency in hat styles, apart from the square crowns, Is distinctly 10 hoight. Rlack panue is prevalent in every modistc's window. lt there is any trimming at all, it must stand very high.
