FAKING ART $500 YEARS AGO
Phoenicians Not Above Soaking"
the GuIlibIe in Art

Faking art works. so as to make
cheap article appear rare and
valuable is an old, old trade, and
was practiced by Phoenician trad
ers to fool their Etruscan custom
ers in Italy, more than $500 years
ago.
A vase. which is now recognized
as one of these ancient art for
geries, was dug up recently in
Italy, and for a time it has per-
picked archaeOlogists at the Mu-
scum of the University of Penn
sylvania. But the mystery now is
solved.
The vase bears symbols which
are apparently Egyptian hero
glyphics. But Egyptologists pro-
nounced the markings meaningless.
1t appears that the Egyptians were
famous as glass makers and work
erS in ceramics at the time this
vase was made, about 700 b. c.,
and Egyptian ware was in demand
among connoisseurs of Italy. Some
PhOenician traders who sold such
articles overseas, made cheaper
vessels and covered them with de-
signs and hieroglyphics to look like
Egyptian, and so cheated the
Etruscans. = Kansas City Stars

INDIAN WOMEN"RULE BOOST
Some Interesting Tribal Experienc-
es Told Down In Mexico

It's a masculine hand that rocks
the cradle among the TZapotec In
dians on the isthmus of Tehuante-
pee in Mexico.
You can go there today and find
women sitting in the market place
trading in vegetables and pottery
while the men are at home mind
ing the children and running err
rands," writes Grace Robinson in
Liberty Magazine.
IF any clash arises between
Mexican authorities and the tribe.
the police go TO the women, not
the men, for adjustment. Like
wise the priest in spiritual matters
carries on his business with the
women.
1.-The women are tall, with regal
carriage, due to the practice of car
rying bundles on their heads, and
their bodies are strong. The men
are runts by comparison. The
women are alert; the men stupid
and slow.
In many primitive societies,
woman has been the dominant sex
in all civil departments of ife.
Racial histories show that the
dominant sex always delegated to
the subordinate sex housework
and care of the children"

Balm of Gilead Priced
for Healing Qualities

1t is very evident that balm from
trees or plants was quite common
ly applied as a salve in Old testa-
ment times, and that the Balm of
Gilead derived from tree known
as the Teri. in the beautifully
wooded and fertile land of Gilead,
by far the most highly favored
part of Palestine, then as now, was
esteemed an exceedingly valuable,
and perhaps most valuable of all
balms.
At the time of the Crusades, the
Sultan Saladin and his physicians
were credited with the possession
of salves-" balms" or "balsams'-
of almost miraculous healing po-
tency for wounds. No doubt the
knowledge of the value of the Balm
of Gilead had been well preserved
through many generations by the
Arabs. and was still made use of
by the Moslems, who had much to
do with the spread of information
which led up to the present posi-
ton of medical science.
