AGE
DEFENDED.

= Those who, today, continue to
characterize the medieval period
as dark are actuated by ignorance
Or unreasoning prejudice" DR.. J.
D. c. Ford, of Harvard University,
told the graduates Of Catholic Uni
versIty today.
They ignored the fact that the
10 Centuries between the fifth
century and the fifteenth had never
lost classical Latin culture and
naively proceeded to style them
barbarous and uniformed. In
truth, the glory that was Greece
had passed. in great measure from
the direct consciousness Of Western
men Of the Middle Ages, but these
latter had never lost sight OF the
grandeur that was Rome
What age" continued DR.. Ford,
sis more justly to be termed dark
than our own, IL lack OF intelligent
acquaintance with the great classical
languages and their HteratureS Is a
test Of darkness? But even as we
insist upon the imperative need OF
intoxicating the ancient humanities
and medieval Latin lore, we must
not forget our other purpose of
emphasizing the value of medieval
culture in French, Provencal,
Italian, Spanish and Portuguese,
which continues and adapts the
ancient culture"

ANNAPOLIS, June 11.-Shades
Of Revolutionary days reached up
through six feet of earth in this
Colonial city yesterday. only to
be pushed down deeper for the
affront to modern progress.
A skeleton in a coffin was found
by laborers digging a foundation
for a new, substation Of the An.
napolis and Chesapeake Bay
Power Company, at the foot Of
Clay Street. Coroner Louis M.
Hopkins, failing to recall any
mysterious disappearances or
murders. ordered 1t buried at a
depth that would not interfere
with the foundation.
Old residents Of Annapolis failed
to recall q cemetery in that sec.
ton Of the city. but said other
bodies had been found in that
vicinity. The supposition is that
section Of Annapolis was used as 3
burytng ground in Colonial days.

this section last December. He
quietly opened an account with a
500 deposit. He would frequently
appear again and make smaller
deposits and in the meantime write
checks against his account which
his balance would easily take care
Of. At times his account would
amount to well over $500 and he
would naturally come to be estab-
lished as a good customer. Early
last, week he, visited the, banks here
and presented his check, in most
cases, on a Shippensburg, Pa, bank.
The vouchers were honored without
question:, but it was not until the
checks had been returned marked

Even then each bank thought itself
