ABSURD RUMORS IN

Port-Au- Prince, Haiti, April II CP In this land, where politics IS
 the chief work of many and princi- pal recreation of many more, the foreigner is astounded with a huge
 mass of wild rumors which float about increasingly.
 When the Hoover investigating
 commission was here. its members
 were amazed with the virtual tor rent Of baseloss reports which crept into headquarters daily. Careful
 study shows they originate in the meeting places of the illiterate mar ket woman. It works this way: Women Trade News

 similar women bound on similar missions. Arriving here, these women
 cram themselves into the public market houses, and exchange their news for that of customers.
 By the time the women from the

 to circulate throughout the city, and
 are carrying home fantastic and
 often highly sensational reports.

 Tn Africa, reasonably good case can be made for Cairo as the site of a city or town for more than 2,4o0 years, but it is not cer- tain that small breaks in the con- tinuitv did no. occur. On the edge of Cairo today are the ruins Of an- cient Heliopolis, founded sorie 5000 years before Christ. It had q continuous existence until Roman times but fell into ruins before any ether city occupied its site.
 Babylonian Emigrants Started Cairo
 "The birth of a continuing city CT the site now occupied by Cairo probably took place about 525 B. C. when a town called Babylon was founded, presumably by emigrants from Babylon in Mesopotamia. The Romans added to Babylon by build ing fort there and making it the headquarters of a legion. The town and fort were captured by the Mo- lammedan invaders in G41 A. D. Touching the old site, the victorious Moslems built a new capital. FL Fostat. Although other nearby cities became in turn the Moslen capitals, El-Fostat probably contin- ued to exist. A part of Old Cairo to- day occupies it's site.
 If it should turn out that there were breaks in the existence of a city on the site of Cairo, Alexar- o;ria. founded in 325 B. C., would fall heir to the title of Africas old est city.
 Tn Europe Athens has probably existed longer than any other city which is today Of importance, fo. apparently a settlement was estab- lished there more than 1000 years before the Christian era. Rome is a close rival, fo- it's beginnings appear to have been about 1000 B. C.

 Since at Least 1870

Washington. D. C., April IT, Oraibi, an Arizona Indian village north of Winslow, recently was We clared the oldest continuously in- habited community in the. United States.
 This determination was made by Neil M. Judd, leader of National Geographic Society expeditions to Pueblo Bonito who, with Dr. A. '. Douglass, determined the age of 40 major Indian ruins. The chronology was worked out after years of co., lection and study of some 5000 timbers from ruins which recorded their ages by their annual growth rings when they were trees.
 Inhabited Before Columbus Came
 Oraibi was in existence in 1870, more than a century before the s}paniards reached the mainland of North America.
 The oldest city of European ori- gin in the United States is St. Augustine, Florida. founded i'll 1865; but there is a much older city founded by Europeans in the Western Hemisphere. This is San Domingo, on the Island of Haiti, which was founded in 1497.
 "All of which," says a bulletin from the National Geographic So- ciety's Washington, D, C. headquar- tcrs, 'raises the question of what are the oldest cities of other con- tlnents and countries.
 First Cities Built in Mcsopotamia
 50 far as history and archaeol- osy, tell. the first cities or towns ill the world were built by the Sum- erians in the Tigris- -Euphrates val Icy perhaps as early as 4,500 B. C. Towns and villages exist today on some Of these old sites. but none can be pointed to as existing con- tinuously.

 Haitians of education and stand ing admit the situation, but see it futile task now to rectify it. As long as there are market women, there will be the endless waves of rumors rolling in and out of Port Au-Prince.
