the land among them, their wives and
their children. Lucius Munatius Gallus,
commander Of the Third Legion, super
intended the laying out of the city upon
a sloping hillside, choosing the site be-
cause it would drain itself. Two noble
roads, the Cardo and the Decumanus
Maximus, led into the city and divided
it into quarters.
The majestic capitol, modelled upon
the capitol at Rome, was erected outside
the original wall in a rising position at
the southwest angle. A forum was built,
and south of it, theatre, which must
have been a glory Of marble and
porphyry. Houses were built. Baths
were built Markets arose. In Timgad,
all those centuries ago, civilization
blossomed that was civilized, and Roman.
The first relic of those grand days
that strikes the eye of the tourist as he
approaches Timgad, set in the Aures up
lands, is the Arch of Trajan. 1t was APP
parenty the western gateway Of the
city. when Timgad was in its prime.
Next is the ruin of the Market of
Sertius, all that remains of once beau
tiful public bazaar that resounded to the
cries of the hawkers back in 200 A. D.
The market apparently was built in the
form of basilica, with the southern
end semi-circular.
Little remains of Timgafs once mag
nifcent temple to the major gods
!. Of Rome, but that little is suffi-
ssss Gent to indicate that it was a
, ss.sss temple fit for gods. Considerable
s1w91 remains, however, Of the smaller
temple erected to the protecting
genius of the city by the good citizens,
who raised the money for it by popular
subscription.
The ruins of the theatre are particu-.
larly well preserved, and they constitute
one of the potent reasons scholars 60 to
Timgad In its day, the Timgad theatre
housed some of the outstanding hits Of
the period, and the Timgad authors and
players continued to produce fine work
even after the stage at Rome fell upon
evil days and was given over to levity
and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Underground, Timgad is interlaced
with the ruins of a system of Roman
baths, naturally much better preserved
than the structures exposed to the ele-
ments. There We're fifteen in the city.
Roman baths We're not merely places
where the good burghers got themselves
clean, of course, as every student of the
social life Of the Romans knows, but were
social centers, more like modern clubs.
In the ruins of the Northern Baths of
Timgad, the traveller may see the hot
rooms, unused for 1900 years; the little
reception halls where the great ones re-
ceived their friends; even the black
smudges of the smoke of the ancient
furnaces upon the walls.

cities and towns of

R0TARIANS HEAR
FINE SUMMARY
OF PRIN CIPLES

The regular weekly luncheon of
the Ell Centre Rotary Club was
held yesterday al the Barbara
Worth Hotel. with Or. w. S. Syl-
vester acting as chairman of the
day.
\ report by Otto J. Bradshaw,
scheduled for last weeks meeting
but postponed for lack of time, fur
ther concerning the Rotary Second
District Conference, recently held
at Stockton, gave an interesting
outline of the educational and in
spirational addresses heard there.
Bradshaw's S thoughtful review of
these addresses clearly brought out
the fact that the trend of Rotary's
best thought is at this time, dis
tinctlv along the lines of the devel-
opment Of the individual, regard
less of vocation, religion, or social
position. The New Man the
man of more character, of greater
moral strength, with greater fidel-
ity to principle-the man of bust
ness, is looked to for the better
ment of social relations throughout
the world. War, diplomacy-even
religion-has failed in bringing
about world peace, and it seems,
now. up to the world of business
to united fellowship of business
and professional men-to advance
the cause of international under
standing and goodwill.
incidentally, along this line, Brad.
shaw said, the coming 18th annual
convention Of Rotary international,
10 be held at Ostend, Belgium, the
week of June to 10, is of especial
interest just at this time. 1t is es-
timated that close to four thousand
Rotarians will attend from the Unit
ed States, and they will carry to
European Rotarians, and others,
the knowledge that America is ac-
tuated by high ideals in social and
business relations, that our finan-
cial power will be used only for
good, that America is friendly and
wants the understanding of the
other fellow. The local club will
be represented by proxy at the con.
vention, by Rotarian Max Allen Of
San Diego.
Following Bradshaw's report,
John NJ. Kepley gave a talk on
membership classification in Rotary,
stressing the point that it is Ro
tary's aim 70 present q represent
at:ve cross section Of the business
and professional life Of the com
nlunity.
The club is indebted to Miss Mar
garet Lanier and Mrs. Fred Connel
". of the /. V. Conservatory of
Music, this city, for an exeellently
rendered piano duet; also TO Harry
Becker for vocal solos, accompanied
by Doug. Deeble, given during the
