i / Dresden, August, 12.-Some more sickening swoops in the air and here's Dresden. From now on I can use a pet phrase as fragile as Dresden china" with authority, for l have seen the local product, There is a powder-puff delicacy about the city. Or maybe it is sug- gestion.
 Dresden is cuppcd in a valley paradoXically high above the sea, the capital of Saxon Free State. It is remindfI: of Paris in that it is divided in to two parts by the Elbe river. Alstad or old town is on it's left bank, and Neustad5 or new town on it's light.
 Next 10 Berlin, it attracts more tourists than any other city and yet, unless interested in ceramics. Frankfort, Cologne or Leipzig src far more intere sting. Thc high spot of Dresden was its chocolate. I am always lured from exquisite art by rrosaic things,
 Old town forms the central busi- ness sectlon-a mcdiacval medley of ancient houses, cow-path streets and wooden shoes.

Aqueducts Show Skill
of Ancient Engineers

Ii ever yUi travel through southern
Europe. particularly in italy and in
parts OF France. you'll see many q
large stone structure stretching in
some cases for miles along the coun-
tryside These look very much Ike
high brick and stone walls contain
ing hundreds OF open doorways. II
you climb on top Of one OF these
ruined structures. though, you will
note that IL contains u hollow pipe
running throughout its length, and a
little study will serve TO convince
you that the arches which form what
you thought was a wall are merely
the supports for this long stone pipe
II you could follow such struc-
ture all the way 10 its end you would
find that IL reached toward a lake.
perhaps up Ia the mountains, or
river of fresh water. and you might
also learn that the other end OF the
arched wall reached into some large
city, perhaps 50 miles or 50 distant
from the water And you might guess
that the entire structure was some
sort OF method OF conveying water
from a reliable source TO inhabitants
in n distant village or city. Your
guess would be correct, for Il was by
means Of such long aqueducts that
the ancients brought their water over
long stretches Of country to places
where II was needed.
Most OF these old aqueducts are
now in ruins and no longer furnishing
water. for We have found other ways
in which water might be given to
inhabitants who live far from fresh.
water rivers and lakes. But they are
interesting to US. for they tell US
something Of the manners Of the peo-
pie who lived over 1900 years ago.
and they tell US, too. that these peo-
pie were highly skilled as engineers
and as builders.
