Ancients Saued Time
by Employing Script

The difference between script and
print is to be referred to a date long
before the invention of printing. One
must not suppose that the ancient
scribes, in writing papers of but tenn
pOrary value, would labor to follow
the same alphabet that the carver
employed upon the monuments of
stone destined for all time. AS far
back as records have been preserved
there was in existence a cursive style
of writing, and instances have been
preserved abundantly in Pompeii Of
random remarks by the ordinary citi-
zen scribbling idle sentiments upon the
walls.
The alphabet Of the monuments was
commonly the model for the writer's Of
formal literature, professional pen
men who looked forward to the library

they were engaged. Business men
used the cursive script, which was far
more readily and correspond ingly
more rapidly written. The monumen-
tai and manuscript hand has served
as the parent of the printed letter.

Spain Holds Richest
Deposit of Mercury

Mercury is the only common metal
that is liquid at ordinary tempera-
lures, and this characteristic enables
it to supply needs for which there are
no known substitutes, says the bu-
reau of mines. 1t alloys readily with
certain other metals forming ANAL
gains, many of which are plastic. The
ease with which gold and silver. ANAL
gamate, has been utilized for the re-
covery of those metals, but this use
has been largely supplanted by the
cyanide and lotation processes.
The largest and richest deposit OF
mercury now known in the world is at
Almaden, in central Spain. says the
Pathfinder Magazine. This deposit
has been mined almost continuously
since Roman times and has been
owned and worked by the Spanish gov
eminent since 1915 The ore bodies
are large, some of them attaining SO
feet in Width and as much as 600 feet
in lep&th. The mine has been devel-
oped TO a depth Of more than 1000
feet and the available reserve has
been estimated as at least 10000 me-
trio tons of metal.

AMERICA MUST CHECK COLOS-
SAL FIRE LOSS

No nation, however rich, can af-
ford sheer waste of over half bill
lion dollars year. This sum rep
resents the annual direct property
loss from fire in the United States,
but it by no means tells the whole
story. 1t does not take into account
the cost of maintaining firetighting
forces, or the indirect loss in wages,
profits, custom and good will which
comes from interruption of business.
The grand annual total of the Amer
lean fire waste mounts to an appal-
ling figure. Worse yet, every "a
hours some two score citizens are
burned to death.
The tragedy of it all is heightened
of fires are preventable. There can
of all fires preventable. There can
be no doubt that large part Of our
apathy toward fire loss results from
the delusion which we cherish about
insurance. We believe that insur-
ance pays for fire. 1t does not, and
it never can. 1t distributes fire los
ses, but it cannot recreate buildings
or goods that have been reduced to
ashes.

- ance risks principally because
dust. once the bane of the blue-clad
arbiter's existence, is being elimi-
mated.
Sports writer's all over the country
are taking notice of the improvement,
even in the wildcat leagues of Texas
and the Far West where the old
fashioned skin" diamonds are being
replaced by grass-sod affairs that COM
pare favorably with major league
grounds.
In the older days, decisions at the
bases and at home plate were always
close because the runner tore up the
ground so viciously that he invariably
raised a cloud of dust, a dust screen
to borrow the nomenclature of naval
strategy, that hid his efforts from the
umpire.
In that cloud of dust the umpire
was frequently at his wits end to de-
eide the play properly. His uncertain
attitude was frequently misunderstood
by the fans, with the result that pot
bottles, thrown with great force, were
aimed at the judge of play.
Now he has an easy time, speaking
comparatively. for dust is scarce.
Sporting writer's who have studied the
matter this year explain the lack of
dust as due to several factors.
First, of course, has been the bet

ter diamonds. Increased interest In
baseball has enabled the club owners
to build better plants, with correspond
ing betterments in equipment. Grass
diamonds cost money but the fans
are supporting baseball more gener'
ously than ever and the bigger
"gates" have gone to give the man
who pays better surroundings
On a grass diamond, which means
diamond with grass infield as well
as grass outfield, there is only a
little earth, chiefly on the paths
around the plate, and the pitchers
box. That small amount of earth can
be rolled easily, much more easily and
economically than when the whole in
field is made of earth, the so-called
"skin" diamond.
In addition to the rolling, however

surrounding the grass diamonds and
even on the skin diamonds ground
keepers have learned to lay the dust
with various chemicals, the best Of
which is calcium chloride.
Another factor producing dustless
baseball has been, strange to say. the

the expenditure was $939.263.
In the last ten years. it is estimated,
the number of public recreation cen
tiers has been multiplied by more than
two and half. The increase has been
due in large me- sure to provision
made by realty men for recreation cen
ters in new subdivisions.
Model Fairgrounds today include
kindergarten, swings, slides, merry-go
rounds, payilions, field houses, wadine
pools and, of course, an open .lay area
where the larger children may romp
to their learts' content. with ball
games, top matches and rls"ble tour

No grass could stand the punishment
of hundreds of feet and the modern
practice is to roll the ground firmly

the number of telephones in the world
