Crude Methods Used to
Extract Oil From Olives

Picturesque but not exactly progress
sive is the Ollye-oll industry as con-
Quoted in Tuscany, on the Italian pc
nlnsula. The extraction of the oil is
carried on at innumerable small plants
which are scattered through the olive
growing district. There are many Of
them, but none Is conducted on up-to-
date lines such as one might expect to
find. Take one, for instance. 1t Is a
cave dug at the base Of hill on
which the olive grows. No one knows
how long this place has been used for
the extraction of olive oil, but the
machinery" used. excepting the mule,
Is at least 300 years old The only
light which enters from the outside is
through the doorway or through
some small cobwebbed windows made
through the earth. To do their labOrs
the workmen use lamps which are Of
the ancient open type, throwing an
orange glow on the surroundings.
About the center of the cavern Is
huge basin carved out Of rock. In
this Is a huge wooden wheel FIVE or
six feet In diameter and two wide. ,
BY a system Of heavy beams and
ropes, this Is revolved around the basin
by slOw-movlng mule while an an
Client workman shovels the pulpy mass
into the path OF the wheel to be
crushed under 1t. The scene Is weird,
but is hallowed by the realization that
this same work has been going on In
this same manner for many genera

Merely Overlooked Fact
He Had Forgotten Wife

The anecdOte of the absent-minded
minister who wore his battered old hat
when he went to preach before criti-
cal congregation leads a reader of the
Youths Companion to tell of an alb
sent-minded tourist who came through
Clay Center, Kan, some three years
ago. The tourist, says our contributor,
was motoring with his wife from In
diana to Colorado. When they were
four miles east OF Clay Center they
had puncture. 1t was in early June,
and, as there was a prairie alongside
the road and many spring flowers were
In bloom the wife wandered over into
the field to gather bouquet while her
husband changed tires.
He finished the job in fairly good
time and then, totally forgetting his
wife, climbed back into his car and
drove into Clay Center. Not wishing to
be caught with another puncture, and
no spare tire on hand, he stopped at a
local shop to have the tire that had
been injured repaired. While at work
the repair man engaged the tourist In
conversation and learned that he was
travelling from Indiana to Colorado.
Rather long trip to take alone"
said the repair man.
"Alone" gasped the tourist. Good
ness gracious, no. My wife is with me,
and left her In the country"
Whereupon he jumped into his car
and started on the back trail.
He found his wife calmly resting
under a tree alongside the road, wait
Ing for him. II thought you would
remember me when you came to pay
for dinner and found the charge to be
less than usual" she said sweetly.

saltings along the Essex coast were

then obtained by evaporation only, the

ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND. FRIDAY MORNING.

North, he and his mother, and before
they returned, five years had passed
The war was over, and the period Of
reconstruction was well nigh passed
Realizing the needs of the PROSTATE
South, the boy, now young man Of
twenty, had come, after only one term
at the medical college, to practice for
year or two under his fathers tut
ton. while he accumulated sufficient
money to defray the expenses Of
another year at college-a common
custom in those days.
"You will need to study, too" his
father had told him, after the days
rest from the journey was over, "and
all my anatomical specimens were de-
stroyed in the fire which the tramps
following Sherman's army kindled in
my office about the time you went
away"
with all the skeletons lying scat
tered throughout the country just now,
1t should be easy to find one for your
study" he added, little grimly.
Il kin glib him Yankees skull, eff
dat will do said an old darby, who
had remained faithfully with the old
doctor during all these years, and who
from having associated with them, as
1t were, In the doctors office, had lost
much Of the darky's fear Of skeletons
"And where did you get such a
thing" asked the young man.
81 foun' hit in de woods by de big
road jlst began de house, mOre'n a
year ago." the darby explained, and
In spite Of his added years, and the
time which had elapsed, the young
man felt some of the dread which had
so oppressed him on the day before
his departure, five years before.
Bring it to me then" he said short
ly, and In a few minutes he held in
his hands a skull, bleached on one
side and stained on the other, show
ing that 1t had lain long upon the
ground, the upper side exposed to the
sun.
In one of the bones Of the left side,
Just behind the opening for the ear
was a small, round hole; on the other
side was no corresponding opening.
Must be inside" he muttered to
himself" or may have dropped out"
With a small chisel he pried off the
fan-shaped temporal bone from the
left side, the interlocklng sutures re
slstlng strongly the efforts Of his
nervous hands. Finally 1t was re
leased from the tenacious grasp Of the
last stubborn serradon, and turning
the skull so that the light fell on the
opposite side of the interior, he saw
wedged into the inner table OF that
part of the skull nearly corresponding
to the right temple, small, flattened
bullet, and plainly to be seen on Its
surface was a little laureled crown.

"A Teller driving along In an old
Hootin' Nanny car last night with Its

SIZE NOT MEASURE

Evidently Quality Is The
Only Thing That Counts.

Homo Sapiens (1925 modeD prob.
ably will not worry great deal over
the recently expressed opinion of Sir
Arthur Keith, the great English
archeologist, says the St. Paul Pioneer
Press. Sir Arthur, who has just fin
ished an examination of the prehis-
toric skull unearthed in South Africa,
concludes that the tendency of man
Is backward in the direction of the
animals whence he sprang. Mans

not threatened with SUPERINTENDENT
ity, but the reverse.
Now, there Is nothing new about
this melancholy situation. Mans brain
cavity Is smaller than It used to be-

Gene times Some Of the Neanderthal
and Cro-Magnon people had brain
cavities as large as 1880 cubic cent?

1000 Gem. This was the smallest ac-
cording to the scientists, Of the pre-
hAotViN NuNltitS. lHC nluoMh
race had brains as large as the mod.
ern man-1.500 Gem. Since Upper
Paleollthic times the brain cavity has
diminished from upwards OF 1900
Gem. to 1900 Gem.
Yet, despite these large brains, the
Pleistocene races were monumental

Thousands Of years were required be.

and throw It at something. Other
thousands passed before they found
out how to chip pieces off the stone
and give 1t cutting edge. Still other
thousands elapsed before they learned
how to fasten this sharp stone to a
stick and make an ak. The old Stone
age lasted for hundreds of thousands
of years, yet Its people, all of whom
had larger brains than the best

tial cabinet, were able to master only
few rudlmentary things
If therefore, modern man has n
smaller brain than his progenltors, oh
viously something is to be said FOR

quickly. Within the memory Of those
now living he has accomplished things
