may outwardly appear to be perfectly
healthy and strong. and even up to
weight or over weight. He may be
vigorously active and show no symp-
toms of illness of any kind.
But any child from home where
there is q case of tuberculosis or who
has been in contact with an older per-
son who has coughed a great deal
should be tested. To be earlier than
early is the only sage way"
During the month OF April nation

Jokes to Be Repressed
Against Fascist Regime

Rome. Jokes and sarcastic with
cisms against the Fascist regime are
henceforth to be sternly repressed.
Clubs and cafes have heard many jests
against the regime, generally in good
part, but often with spice Of malice.
The jests have come mostly from
Fascists themselves, and derive from
the essentially Latin habit Of making
fun Of oneself Probably there has
been little eSaggeration In this d.
rection, whence the circular Of Sec.
rotary Augusta Turati to the provin.
cial secretaries OF the Fascist party
urging thu. an end be put to this pri-
vate form Of lampoonlng.
Mussollni himself smllingly admitted
the existence of this lampoonery in
an address to the senate when he said
that the aus rnormorandr or right to
murmur was a tolerab1e thing.
The Roman tradition Of popular
jests Is ancient, and In the Eighteenth
and early Nineteenth century the IA
nous statue of Pasquino outside the
Braschl palace, formerly the ministry
Of the interior. used to be the site
where the city wits hung their wise
cracks known as ''pasqulnades' late
at night for the delectation Of the
morning public.

clares that its success rests upon the
appreciation by the public of the true
meaning of the word early as appli-
ed to tuberculosis.
'eThe word early may mean, under
varying circumstances, different things.
1t may be six o'clock in the evening or
ten o'clock depending on ones own
idea Of what is early. So in the dis
coyery Of tuberculosis we are accus-
toned to saying that tuberculosis can
be cured If discovered early But just
how early do we mean by early?

aBelow our eighth building there
came a change. No more walls Of build
ings appeared, and the soil was little
more than mass Of broken pottery.
The explanation was soon forthcom-
ing. A brilliantly colored ring of red
and green and pale yellow proved to
be burnt-ort kiln Of bricks lined
with fire-clay, and in the ashes which
filled It there were still the clay pots
of the last firing. More kilns came to
light, covering the whole area In sue
cessive levels; basins lined with &c.
ment bricks for the kneading Of the
clay, potters' tools made Of baked clay
and pebbles for Furnishing the pots.
1t was prehistoric factory, and the
dense mass of sherds which buried
the site was made from the waters
discarded by the potter.
"As the kilns lay four deep the IN.
dustry must have lasted for a long
time and for so long the regular se-
uuence which marked the upper strata
