Ancients Fond Of Salads

London-(P)-Brit food experts
who have been making a special
study of the history Of salads say
the tomato is the single new in
gredient modern times have con-
tributed to salad-making.
The Pharaohs-even the beautiful
Cleopatra-ate onions in large guam
titles in their salads, and used garlic
and other high-scented ingredients.
Confucius ate cucumbers and the
ancient Chinese used mustard,
watercress and nasturtium leaves
and flowers in mixing their elabor-
ate salads, which often contained
hard-boiled eggs.
Ancient Persia was also very fond
of salads, and used lettuce and
radishes much as they are used in
modern salad-making. Sour wine,
not unlike modern vinegar, was used
on lettuce by the Persians four
thousand years ago.

Town of War Origin
Still Remains Quiet

Sarajevo, Yugo- Slavia-(P(-Twe
years have gone by since the crime
that precipitated the world conflict
was committed in Sarajevo, but the
| little Bosnian town remains as OBJ
scure and unpretentious as it was in
the days when it was under the
Turks. o..
1t has slept throughout the twelve
years of Europe's reconstruction, un-
conscious of the mighty part it
played in the war which left several
nations in ruins. From the tops Of
, its "ninety-and nine" minarets Turk
ish muezZins still call the faithful to
prayer, while thousands of unbeliev-
ers do their daily task in the bazaars.
Small Tablet Only Evidence
The only evidence the American
traveller finds that the Austrian
dered here is small tablet on a
building near which the Austrian
noble was shot down. American
tourists invariably take out their
cameras and photograph the spot.
The little River Mijacka, whose
placid waters were stained with the
dripping blood of the slain duke,
winds its peaceful way into the val
ley beyond, oblivious of the fact that
its name is mentioned in a thousand
histories in connection with the
assassination of the heir to the Aus
trian throne.
People Are Indifferent
The people of the town seem lethar-
gic, Indifferent and indolent. Many of
them are Moslems who, unaffected by
Turkeys example, still wear the
time honored fez prescribed by Ma
hamet. They sit in their dimunitive
bazaars, legs crossed, inscrutable
and imperturbable, seemingly I'M
moved by the tide of life and color
which goes by.
From the Street of the Copper
smiths comes the rhythmic beating of
hammers; in the street Of the Leath-
ersellers sit the cobblers and shoe
merchants, serenely plying their
trade. Potters, silver filigree work
ers. carpet weavers, spice merchants,
and a host of other trades are repre-
scented in the rows of bazaars.
Becomes Tourist Center
Since the former Austrian province
of Bosnia Herzegovina passed over
to Yugo- Slavia, Sarajevo has be-
come increasingly attractive as a
tourist center.
Nowhere in Europe does the
American traveller find such har-
monious blending Of East and West.
The Moslems of the Orient rub elbows
with the Westerner of Europe. Peas
ant women, mounted on donkeys, with
distaff in hand, and white -robed
camel-tenders. with trains of their
faithful beasts of burden following
them. make their way slowly through
the torturous streets, while modern
American motor cars shoot along the
principal thoroughfares.

 There is relatively little dripstone in this part of the cave.

and the vaulted ceiling so far above us that in some places we are not able to see it, much less estimate its height. It seems like gazing upward on cloudy night. Our feeble lights only magnify the void.
 At the foot of a great heap of rocks 700 feet below the surface at the entrance, three large chambers open off the main hall. The argest may be called Shinav's Wigwam in honor of the kingly warrior of Navajo mythology. Because of its size and the glory of its decoration. this great chamber may appropriate ly be ikened to the glorified wig wan of the great wolf god Shinav. who in battle used petrified trees for arrows.
 The third and smallest of the three rooms is subcircular in outline and is 160 feet long by 140 feet wide. The middle room is about three times this size and the first one much larger. No measurements were made of the larger rooms.

Washington, D. C., Dec. - Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico, one of Uncle Sams official scenic won- ders for the past three years, has gained such popularity since its set ting aside as a national monument in October. 1923, and it's extensive graphic Society, that it now draws more visitors than some of the great American caves known for many de- cades. Highways leading to the national monument have been i'm proved, and during the month of August this year 5,24s persons visit ed the caves. according to informa- tion reaching the National Geo. graphic Society's headquarters here.
 An Underground Fairyland
 A communication to the Society from the late Dr. Willis T. Lee, who conducted it's explorations, described the vast underground fairyland.
 About half mile from the foot of the shaft" wrote Dr. Lee, i've en- ter the part of the cave reserved as national monument and soon pass beneath the natural opening. This opening far above us, which seems so awesome at the surface, appears from the floor of the spacious cavern like small and very inconspicuous aperture.
 Here we give 1t scarcely sec- ond thought and pass on to the more impressive features which appear at each turn.
 "As we proceed we gradually make our way deeper and deeper into the earth. For nearly mile. or a distance almost equivalent to that from the White House along Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol, in Washington. we traverse a pas sage of astonishing dimensions. The walls are very irregular. approaching to within 100 feet of each other in few places, then receding in later al chambers many times that width. At the side of the passageway are many alcoves opening into rooms. few of which have been explored.
 "In most places the walls are

 Repeated effort was made to ob- tain some concrete idea of the height of the irregu arly arched cell ing. In a few places the rocks above us were revealed by the torches. and 1t was estimated by several members of the party as more than 200 feet above us. In other places even the spotlight from a strong electric torch failed to pierce the gloom and no ceiling could be dis cerned.
 The Big Room has astounding proportions. Had I been told before entering it that an open space Of such great dimensions was to be found underground, I should have doubted my informant's word as frankly as many of my readers probably will doubt mine.

SMOKE ROOMS ARE
 USED BY WOMEN
Mems Quarters in London Are

London, Dec. '. R1Feminine smoke rings are being blown with increasing defiance from heretofore exclusively masculine .armchairs in London smoking cafes.
 Astonished glances and angrily rustled newspapers fail to disturb the innumerable Lady Nicotines vho are slowly busting men from their own strongholds.
 Change of Few Years
 "A few years ago no woman would ever have dared pass our doors," said the director of firm which operates fifty smoking cafes in the London city district. To-day we could not keep them out if we trie,! A few years ago if any wo- man did succeed in entering we cer- tainly would not have permitted her to indulge in a cigarette-not even scented one with a strip of pink satin around the end.
 But everything is different now. Women have been smoking for years-at homes, at dances and in the cafes and restaurants of the West End, but lately they have even swarmed into the moking cafes of the City which, even after smoking for women had received universal sanction. were by common consent regarded as the exclusive resort of man."
 Want to Smoke With Men
 'Why not smoking cafes for wo- men if they are so keen on their coffee and cigarettes" 1t was sug- gested.
 He shook his head.
 Because they don't want it," he replied. "She wants to go where the men are. If anyone started smoking cafes for women you'd find they wouldn't go there and if they did the men would start counter invasion. Mixed smoking cafes will be the recognized thing in the fu- ture-and a not very distant future either"
 Many business girls in London are adopting the Il o'clock coffee and cigarette habit and some en- ployers allot them ten minute in terval definitely for this purpose.

 Most of the ceiling is covered dripstone. Thousands of stalactitcs hang singly. in doublets, in triplcts, and in groups. They range from a few inches to lengths representing the entire height of the room. and in diameter from that of small some places they hang so thickly that they coalesce at the top. form ing spiny masses weighing thousands Of tons.
 The most spectacular part of the cavern is reserved as the final scene of an eventful trip. Leaving the Wigwam, we retrace our steps for a short distance. climb a steep hill. make our way laboriously at snail like pace through heaps of fallen rock and over lodges where the guide patiently shows the bewildered climber which foot to put forward in order that the next step may be taken safely. After a half hours struggle we enter the Big Room.
 Room Half Mile Long
 I doubt if name more appropri- ate than Big Room could be found for this remarkable opening. It is more than half mile in length and will probably average many hun dreds of feet in width. The sides recede in places to such great dis
