~ OME-The Fields of Emma, which
- in the days of Sicui ai~i latel
IN during the occupation OF '7reek
l. colonistS were famous fof theil
large crops Of wheat, have beer
recently excavated, but as the Sicilsans
of today also sow grain there the ex.
cavationS have been suspended in ordel
not to interfere with the work Of SOW
ing.
It was in these fair fields that Per.
sephone, while gathering some flowers
was carried of by Pluto to the Lower
regions through a cave near ancient
"Henna." It was owing to the worship
of Demeter Cora, during the early
Siculian days and Demeter and Per-
sephone in Greek days, that the city
possessed two famous temples to the
goddesses so closely allied to agricul-
ture.
Temples Of Goddesses Sought.
From the seventh century before
Christ on to Roman days the worship
of these two goddesses was intensive
The foundations of these two edif1ceS
for the purpose of finding them, as
well as remains of other ancient build
ings, that the present excavations were
begun last Summer. All that remains
of past grandeur is the citadel, which
resisted six siegeS and was only taken
by treachery. The reason it stands is
that Manfred, King of the two Sicilies
in the thirteenth century, repaired II
as it is today. But 1t, too, is gradually
falling into ruin.
From ancient descriptions work was
started this year on a search for the
Temple of Demeter, which was supposed
IN CT al IN "a ~
Cere. But search there resulted only
in discovering pile of rocks. It was
when the defense walls of the city were
cleared that an ancient inscription in
Greek was discovered. According to
this the Temple of Demeter stood at q
height of 997 meters above sea level,
overlooking the surrounding country
for miles.
Other excavations financed by the
Magma Greca Society were undertaken
at Lentini, one of the earliest Greek
settlements on the island, and the only
one which the colonists did not build
Naxos, under TheocleS, in the eighth
century before Christ, and chose this
site on two hills overlooking the small
river Sissus.

In the valley between these hills t,ey

public buildings, while the temples and
the residences were built on the hills.

There is nothing exceptional about
this. In San Diego, Calf; in Medford,

part of the country, the situation is the
same. Gasoline and oil are furnishing

Interest in Meteor Crater Is Spurred

"A times each century shower the

scientific speculation regarding
the nature and fate of the celestial
visitor responsible for Meteor Crater
near WinSlow, Ariz. It has long been
an accepted fact that the enormous
bowl. three-fourths of a mile in di-
ameter and $40 feet deep, was caused
centuries ago by the terrific impact
with the earth of a gigantic meteor or
cluster OF meteors during just such
q visitation as the one we are under
going
Two astronomers, DR.. Forest Ray
Moulton, formerly professor at the Uni
versity Of Chicago, and Herman L.
Fairchild, professor emeritus of the
University of Rochester, recently have
advanced the theory separately that
the Arizona meteor or meteoric swarm
collided with the earth with such ire
mondouS force as to explode the matrix
whether of stone or of nickel-iron,
which was blown as dust over the sur
rounding plain and dissolved or washed
away by the torrential rainfall.
NOduIes Alone Remain.
All that remains or that ever will be

they say, are the Canyono Diablo irons
imperishable nodules originally imbed-
ded in the more brittle matrix and
which are distributed by the thousands
for a radius of four miles about the
crater.
Whether this theory will be accepted
and Will end the quarter century
search for the main mass of the meteor
remains to be seen. Drilling in the
floor of the crater during the years
1905-1908 revealed that under the sur
face sediment and rock debris the
deeper rock strata were undistnrbed
This absence of a volcanic chimney
finally ended the belief that the crater
was formed by hot swelling gases from
within the earth, theory tenaciously
adhered to by many scientists up to
that time.

On February 5, over the course at
Daytona Beach, Fla, Capt. Malcolm
Campbell, that doughty old performer
established a new automobile speed
at the rate of 245.733 miles per hour
better by over IA miles than the record
established in 1929 by the late lamented

Committee of the All-India National

be fulfilled before the Congress will ne

measures; permission by said authorl-
| ties of continuance OF peaceful picket
ing of foreign cloth, drink and drug
shops; and permission by said authori-
ties to make salt despite the law
through the period of negotiation.
The manifesto states that the boycott
of foreign cloth sis vital necessity IN

main a permanent feature OF Nation

the power to exclude foreign cloth yarn
from India, whether by total prohibl-
ton or by prohibitive tariff"

week the acceptance, on January &c.
| by the French Chamber of the new
hgovernment headed by Senator Laval.
| The majority of 81 for the vote of con-
fdence was Unexpectedly large. No

strongly advocated extension of public
education and definitely declared

OF course, M. Laval, of old Socialist,
was condemned by Left orators for his
present association with elements Of the
Right.
It is pleasant news that the municipal
council of Paris is taking vigorous
measures looking to replacement OF
Paris trees destroyed or fatally sick
ened by gasoline fumes, by new full
grown trees of harder varieties. Paris
Is said to be more richly adorned with
| trees than any other great city, hav-
ing some $1,000 full-grown trees along
its streets. OF all trees the plane tree
is said to be best adapted to modern
urban conditions.

Don't forget, ladies, that Paris says
pleatS are the ticket.
Note, too, that the straight, slender
silhouette, devoid of jutting details,
commends itself; that daytime skirts
show low, moderate flare" while eve
ming skirts have "a voluminous low
fullness"; that "waistlines are placed
normally, but are not drawn in," and
that "the popularity of two colored and
three colored jacket ensembles" receives
official sanction. Redfern's front pep
lums and trailing trousers edged with
black lace are very intriguing.

SPAIN.-A royal decree of February
4 ordered all Spanish universities closed
for month, the idea being to end that
source of trouble pending the general
elections. The decree speaks of dis
order, vandalism and downright spite
as rampant in those institutions. Watch
Spain.
This is the twelve-hundredth year
since the birth of Abd-ar-R ahman,
founder Tin 1859 of the Omayyad dy-
nasty of Spain; one of the ablest and
most interesting of princes. He was
about 20 years of age when, upon the
yad dynasty in the East he, with his
brother, took refuge with Bedouin
tribes in the desert. AbbaSid agents
were hot on their trail and his brother
was slain, but he escaped to Africa.
His adventures over the next luStrum
were as romantic as anything in the
Arabian Nights. With few followers
he at last found safety among the
Berbers of Mauritania, by whose aid
he established himself in Spain.
Compelled to ceaseless activity in
suppreSsing rebellion among his Arab
and Berber chieftains, he grew embit-
tered and ferocious, but he laid firm
bases for his dynasty lasted over two
centuries.
GERMANY.-On February the
Reichstag reopened for what promises
to be very important session. Chan
cellor Bruening told that body that 1t
must pass the budget at once and
without amendments, Gin order to re-
store foreign confidence in the essential
democracy of Germany"
At last, on January 81, the great
German flying boat DO-X hoped off
from Lisbon on her flight for South
America. Seven hours later she de-
scended in the harbor of Las PalmaS
in the Canaries, tbs miles from Lis
bon. She had 10 souls aboard. But
her "hoodoo" continues. Weather and
some minor mechanical difficulties de-
layed to February the attempt to
take of for the Cape Verde Islands,
and that morning as she was taxing
for take-off big wave caused under
water damage which, it is feared. will
delay prosecution of the adventure for
a fortnight or so. 1t is further stated
that the motors are not giving COM
plete satisfaction.

restricted, curtailed incomes. But, also,
outside those communities, and at great

by a difference of lilo or Il of a cent
