responds, and the spouse on the ring
might exclaim with Wordsworth's Lao
dama-
"No spectre greets me, no vain Shadow
this;
Come, blooming hero, place thee by my
side,
Give, on this wel-known couch, one
nuptial kiss
To me, this day a second time thy bride!
"On the other side of the upper part
of the trunk of the Tree of the World
from that by which the young couple
stand, we see the Lion Guardian of the
Underworld, couched on a bench in vigil
liant repose, and tended by the two little
handmaidens of the Goddess.
'In the lowest row, which forms a single
composition, though divided by the trunk.
the young couple reappear in what seems
to ne a scene of initiation. On the extreme
right in front of standing figure, in
whom we may again recognize the God
dess herself, another of her guardian
monsters, a winged griffin of the Minoan
type-the incarnation of swiftness and
plerclng vision--is seated on a kind Of
throne. In front of him are griffin ladies,
two of whom have been deputed to pre-
sent the young couple at the "Griffin's
Court" while one warns off a youth to
the left as unwarthy of such imitation.
Thus, the entire composition of the
designs on this remarkable signet-ring
connects itself in single story, divided,
as has been shown, into four successive
episodes-the Goddess seated with her
companion, and her life-giving cmblems:
the reunited couple; the lion guardian
tended by the handmaidens of the
divinity; and the "Griffin's Court" rep
resenting a ceremony of initiation. II
gives us our first real insight into the pre-
Hellenic eschatology, and is the first
glimpse that we possess into the World
Beyond as conceived by the Minoans.
There is no gloom about the picture:
the human figures are not mere shadows
or half-skeletons, but real flesh and blood.
and moved by very human emotions. Sur
PRISE, JOY, affection, and encouragement
are alternately suggested, and we see the
advancing pair caught with the spirit Of
the dance, as II unseen music filled the
background
"The Goddess and her handmaidens and
the ministering griffin-ladies show the
same vivacity of gesture-language with
truly dramatic touches in the action dis
played. All alike wear fashionable RAIN
ent, reflecting the latest modes, and the
imagination is left free to fill i'm the
bright coloring. We have here an abode
rather Of light than of darkness. and
indeed, as has already been remarked, tho
shady canopy above the lions head pre-.
supposes light and warmth"

the trunk Of tree with two horizontal
branches and spreading roots below, or it
might be regarded as river with two
lateral streams running into it and itself
debouching on a bay of the sea.
Have We here, perhaps, the Rivers of
Paradise? But the rounded contour of the
upright dividing object in the middle Of
the field has no resemblance to water,
while It's sinewy surface shows the unmis-
taxable features of the trunk of an old
tree. The same must be said of the
branches on either side, and their almost
horizontal projection can easily be paral-
lelcd by some of the ancient plane trees
or evergreen oaks of Greece. The trunk
itself rises from a kind Of mound, the in
clsions on which may be taken as sum
mary attempt to indicate vegetation.
COuched on the bank, moreover, is an
animal, apparently intended for dog,
guarding the base of the tree, and the
position Of this is alone sufficient to eX-
clude the idea that the engraver intended
TO depict here an arm of the sea.
What we have here, then, before US,
is unquestionably a tree, old and gnarled,
standing, as it would seem, with spread
ing roots on the top of a mound or hillOck.
The one obvious and largely satisfying
comparison is, in fact, supplied, in a very
distant quarter, BY the old scandinavian
Tree Of the World, the Ash Of 0din's
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-10-11

are clearly two separate groups. The
first of these consists of two female
figures, in which the analogy of other
scenes enables US to recognize the great
Minoan Goddess and female companion
with whom she is often associated. Some
very significant adjuncts, moreover, seen
Immediately above the head of the God
dess, bear suggestive relation to her
functions as Lady of the Underworld.
"F1uttering near, and almost settling
on her head, are two butterflies, and
above them, in turn, two other objects in
which, from their form and the associa-
tons in which they appear, it seemed
reasonable TO recognize as two correspond
ing chrysalises. They presented, more
over, the popularity Of showing hook-like
projections at the sides, apparently for
attachment.
professor Poulton, the eminent ento-
biological authority, to whom | submitted
my sketch, confirmed this Identification.
q DO not think he writes, that there is
the slightest doubt that the two objects
above the butterflies represent chrysalis-
cs.' He adds that the cOmmonest of al
pupae-the Common Whites'-are at
tached, either horizontally or, as shown
in this case, hcaS Upwards, by a girdlc
round the middle, which / have no doubt
is represented by the tag shown to the

w was s'' life sT beyond its' 't the sraTs'
Who were the primitive men who
fist conceived the hereafter as happy
place-a Paradise? Who first conceived
the next world as a gloomy place? Who
first thought Of the Judgment Day?
Some exceedingly interesting facts con-
corning these matters have just been dis
covered by archaeologists.
The discoveries were made while DR..
Dorpfeld was searching for the vestiges
of the ancient Mycenaean or Minoan civ
ilization of Greece along the southern
shore of that country This civilization
had its origin in the island of Crete and
was that which prevailed in Greece at the
time of the events described by Homer in
1.-The Had" Dr. DOrpfeld's party dis
covered the remains Of three great domed
tombs forty feet in height near a village
called Kakovatos.
One Of these has been identified from
its contents as that of Nestor, the Methu-
saeh Of the Greeks, whose wise remarks
are frequently referred to by Homer.
Among the finds is the solid gold cup Of
old Nestor described by Homer as ''the
right goodly cup, embossed with sheets Of
gold, and round each of its four handles
two golden doves were feeding"
The character of the finds attracted Sir
Arthur Evans of Oxford, the pioneer in
the modern excavation of the labyrinth Of
the Minotaur and explorer Of KnOssOs
in Crete.
Sir Arthur found that among the relics
in the tomb was d ring which he has iden-
titled as probably the famous ring Of
Nestor. This bears an extraordinary rep
rcsentation of life beyond the grave, as it
was conceived in Greece at that very early
period-probably a. long as sixteen hun
bred years before Christ.
The ring is Of solid gold, of the weight
of four English sovereigns. The highly
artistic engraving upon it shows great
lion crouching beside a tree guarding the
entrance to the under world, accompanied
By two handmaidens Of the Goddess of the
Underworld.
Sir Arthur Evans states that the cos
TUNES of the figures and all the details
prove that the engraving belongs to the
Minoan phase Of Greek civilization.
On the other side of the tree is the
Goddess of the Underworld and a COM
panion. Above their heads are certain
very remarkable symbols-tWo chrysalscs
and two butterflies. They are believed 10
represent departed spirits being born into

left of the figures.
at is noteworthy
that the Greek word
Ar, a spirit, as trans
ferred to a butterfly,
is illustrated by Aris-
totle, who, in this con-
nection, first de-
scribed the genesis of
the perfect insect
from a caterpillar and
chrysalis, by the life
history of a white
butterfly, Pieris bras
sicae, or an allied
species. The idea
that butterflies are

unfit to enter the abode Of the elect.
Farther to the right the Goddess of the
Underworld is shown presiding at cere-
mony Of initiation. Before her at an altar
sits a winged griffin of the Minoan type
and near by are two curious griffin-headed
ladies engaged in some strange ritual.
In this illustration is revealed happy
and noble conception Of the hereafter,
which must have been held more than
3,j25 years ago. It is more Cheerful! and
iHspiriting than Of any Of the ancient
nations and apprOximates the Christian
ideal more than any Of them.
Strange that their conception should
have originated in the land Of the Mino-
taur, the half man, half bull monster,
whose religion was supposed to be one
entirely Of cruelty and who annually de-
stroyed great numbers of Greek maidens
and youths under circumstances Of IN
nameable wickedness until the Greek hero
Theseus destroyed him. Probably we
have not properly understood the legend
Of the MinOtaur
''The ring" says Sir Arthur Evans, sis
remarkable, not only for its massive fabric
and Old-time Minoan form, but even more
from the Unrivalled wealth of illustration
presented by its intaglio and the deep
interest Of the subject of its designs. The
central subject Of the ring, with It's two
arms, might either be taken to represent

One of its three roots reaches

Enforcement Fight Reveals How Booze Politics Helps

Prohibition is increasing respect for
law. Not only for the 18th Amendment
but for all law. Recently district attorney
Edwin A. Olson publicly declared in Chi-
cago that criminals would rather be pros
ecuted for murder in the state courts than
face trial for common liquor law viola
ton in the federal courts. To illustrate
and prove this point Mr.. Olson quoted the
case of Frank Miller who committed rob-
berry with a gun, was arrested, tried, and
discharged in the state courts. He would
have gone free but for prohibition. It
happened that the commodity he stole at
the point of gun was Intoxicating liq-
uor. Accordingly, Frank Miller was
tried in the federal courts on exactly the
same evidence by precisely the same wit

nesses and sent to the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth for term of five years
in addition to a ten thousand dollar fine
assessed against him after his conviction
and was upheld by the United States dis
trict court of appeals. In this case the
criminal had no respect for other laws
which he evaded without difficulty. But
he was compelled to respect the prohibi-
ton law. The example of his successful
prosecution for prohibition violation was
not only a punishment for the convicted
criminal but an example to others tending
to develop respect for all law. 1t should
be noted in this case that it was the Chi
cago police who made the arrests and Sc
cured the evidence resulting in successful
conviction.
Notorious Lawbreakers in Subsection
A more recent case shows how prohibi-
ton is creating respect for law among law
breakers who hitherto held all law in utter
contempt. On January 18th Johnny
Torrio designated in the newspapers "as
king of south side vice. beer and gamb-
ling and over-lord of Cicero" was SEN

raid on the Sieben Brewery last May and
were sentenced on pleas of guilty Dean
OBannion, recently slain, was one of
those taken in the raid and without
doubt would have been convicted and
sentenced to jail had he lived to go on
trial. Although O'Banion was alleged TO
have committed many murders and to
have broken every law worth breaking,
he had one of the largest funerals ever
held in Chicago and was given more pub
Gcity than usually is accorded governor
OF state. Without shadow of respect
for other laws. O'Banion would have
been compelled to respect prohibition if
underworld assassins had permitted him
to live. For he would have been SEN
fenced as were his associates captured
in the Sicben Brewery raid.
