Hampered by Storm
Of Tuesday NIGHT

Transportation in this vicinity was
considerably hampered by the storm
of Tuesday night. the A. & X. being
thrown off schedule late Wednesday
afternoon. The walking conditions
were at their worst and Church hill
presented difficulties to the most ex-
perienced navigator. Automobile
drivers were also bothered by the
slippery condition of the roads and
with the mercury dropping Wednes-
day night even more danger of ac-
cidents was anticipated. One agree
able feature of the day Wednesday
was the opportunity given to remove
snow and ice from the Water street
sidewalks. as this was fast melting
and easily scraped off.

Paintings Show
Roman Athletes
Experienced Thrills

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 29.-P)-
Athletes during the Roman period
of domination in Greece experienced
thrills far excelling those of the
modern athlete. it Is indicated In
paintings just discovered by excava-
tors at Corinth.
A painting of an acrobat making
pole vault over the back of a
charging leopard was described to-
day by Professor T. Leslie Shear Of
Princeton during an address before
the Archaeological Institute of
America. In another brilliantly COL
ored painting an athlete, with hands
on the ground and head raised, Is
about to take off for a handspring
over the back Of a huge lion that is
rushing at him, he said.
1.-THE artfuI and interesting works
of Greek and Roman sculpture were
found at ancient Corinth in the
campaign of excavations that has
just been concluded" Professor
Shear said. There are primitive
terrocotta idols from the seventh
century, B. c., brilliantly painted
architectural terracottas of the sixth
century, marble sculptures of the
fifth and fourth centuries, MASTER
pieces of Hellenistic art, and fine
works of the Roman period.
From every point of view Corinth
has INDICATED its claim to the title
of wealthy city of the double sea-"
Miss Lillian B. Lawter of the Uni
versity of Kansas, declared that pre-
vious conceptions of Greek dancing
must be revised. Studies indicate,
she said. that the Greeks favored
the Bonded knee in dancing, that
their dancing was much less formal
than that of the present day. and
that they danced not with the feet
alone but with the entire body.
