Pie That Found Favor
With Marcus Aurelius

Though not much success attend
ed the attempt to salve Caligula's
galleys from the mud in which
their remains rested at the bot
tom of Lake Nemi, a more present
able and equally authentic frag-
ment of imperial Rome has been
seen in Budapest. Tie recipe for
game pie, which is said to have
been a favorite of the Emperors
Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, were
recently found among some Roman
records, and Reuter- tells US that
a pie has been prepared according
to these instructions and served at
an hotel in Budapest.
With Marcus Aurelius high think
ing seems to have been linked with
comparatively plain living. The
recipe for his favorite pie begins
by instructing the cook to take lin
English weights) pound and a
half Of wild boar meat, the flesh
Of a pheasant and the legs of a
sucking Dig. Ok tongue, ham,
olives, and peppers are other in
gradients, ana tile whole structure
was held together by five pints Of
stock clarified with eggshells and
strengthened with gelatine" and
then decorated with truffles.
1t seems q curious thing that it
should be possible to prepare and
eat today such a pie as might have
been laid before the Antonines. The
galleys 90. the pictures crumble, the
statues are shattered. But when
once the recipe Is rediscovered, the
pie emerges none the worse for
some 1,SOO years Of history-AIan-

Odd Virginia Law

The idea that there is a law in
Virginia that forbids a woman to
become engaged to more than one
man at the same time is probably
based on the story of Cicely Jor-
dan, charming and wealthy
widow who engaged herself to
marry two men, Capt. William
Farrar ard Rev. GreviLe Pooley.
the latter of whom sued her for
breach of promise. The suit was
lost. but the governor and coun-
ell of the colony were so aroused
over the affair that they issued
proclamation against a woman's
engaging herself to more than one
man at time. Wilstach, an au-
thority on Virginia lore. says there
Is no known record that this edict
has ever beer revoked.

Revolver Not Needed
to Rout That Burglar"

Monte slept well because lie
needed the rest after a hard day,
but he was wide awake in an in
stant when he thought lie heard
noise in his front parlor. He
came to this realization only a mo-
ment before his wife prodded him
in the back: Wake up, Monte"
she commanded. There's some one
trying TO get i'll below"
Monte sat up. We'll, what are
we going to do?" he asked his
wife in a whisper to avoid detec-
ton. Il guess you'll have to 20
downstairs and call the police" she
offered.
Monte had To hold himself up in
dignity to his better half, so he
crawled out of bed, quietly grabbed
a bathrobe and went to a dresser
where, after much fumbling, he OBJ
tained a rusted old revolver.
Fortified, he started down the
stairs stealthily. Half way down,
when he could peer through a door
into the living room. he saw a
shadow. Not much like the shape
of man. He grew braver. At
the bottom of the staircase he
switched on the iiving-room lights.
There was no one there.
He listened and the noise was
repeated. Turning his eyes from
the window from where the sound
emanated. he noticed a large Ger
man police dog trying to get in.
Selling an Overshoe he opened the
door and let it fly, with inaccurate
aim, but successful effect. The bur-
glar disappeared.-Brockton Enter

Streets Of Pomreii

One Of tire unique charms of
Pompeii is the view it gives of the
civic and domestic life of the
Romans. Here you may see the
temples, courts, theaters, baths and
fountains, but also the humber evi-
dence of human life, such as the
homes, stores and streets, the lat
ter even possessing ruts in the
stone, made by generations of pass
ing chariots. You may visit the
stone mills and the jar store, the
bakery and the soap shop. The
treasures of Pompeii are now in the
National museum at Naples, but
to actually walk the streets of the
destroyed city is much more inter
esting than viewing curios in glass
cases. 1t is hard to escape the
feeling that it is a city being built.
and that the builders have simply
left for lunch and would soon re-
turn.

Catalan Language

1t Is generally assumed that the
Catalan language was imported
from Roussilon into Spain during
CarOlingian times, but there is q
contrary view that it was orig
inally developed in Spain and in
troduced into RoussilIon by Catalan
immigrants. It is a Romance lam
guage, an offshoot of ProvencaI.
Philologically Catalan differs from
Spanish in that it lacks the char
acteristic diphthongs One of its
distinctive features is its tendency
to suppress many Of the consonants
and unaccented vowel endings 81
common in Spanish.

WOULD RAISE
BIG FUND FOR
UNEMPLOYED

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4. U.P)-
A proposal to raise $30,000,000 in
California next year for unemploy-
ment relief held official approval
today and may be submitted to
voters of the state at a special cleo
ton.
The legislative and executive COM
mittee of the California County ST.
pervisors association originated the
proposal and will submit it to Gov.
James Rolph, Jr., in Sacramento,
September IL. The governor has
indicated he may call an election.
The fund would be raised by a
$20000,000 bond issue for highway
construction and an addition of one
cent to the present three-cent gaso-
line tax.
Supervisor Stanley Abel of Kern
county said a four-cent tax would
equal the national average and es-
timated it would raise an addition
al S13,000,000 revenue. About ST.
100000 of this would pay interest
on the bond issue, he said, leaving
S10000,000 to be added to the bond
principal for improvement work.
The proposal will be brought up
at the supervisors convention and
if approved a movement will be
started to gain 10000 signatures on
a referendum petition for a special
election.

TWO RUNAWAYS
CAPTURED BY
CITY POLICE

Morpheus played trick on two
runaway youths last night and re-
suited in their capture by city po-
lice and return to conditions from
which they ran away recently.
The boys, George Crandall, H.
and Earl Benson, IA, both of Gull
yer City, selected cool grassy spo.
near the jenkins apartment for a
good nights rest after the tolls of
travel and the excitement of ad-
venture in strange places.
Occupants of the apartemnt
house saw the shadowy forms re-
Ginning on the grass and summoned
police. Earl and George were SO
deep in sleep that it was with diff
Guilty they could be reused from
their slumbers in order to make the
trip to the station.
They, in company with another
ran away from the Pa
cific Military school in the Los An
geles area. The third boy left them
soon after the escape, however. and
the two travelled alone.
When occupants of the Jenkins
apartment heard that the young
sters had been without food for
several days, they obtained permits
sion from police to feed them. Ham
and eggs did great deal to revive
their spirits and the return to
school did not appear so bad after
all.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. U.P)-A

for alleged third degree brutality.
A famous police trial of several
years ago was denounced as per-
jured sham.
Reprimands were recommended
for several high police officials who
are considered by the grand jury
to have been guilty of incompe-
tence and negligence.
The indictments came after
President Hoover had moved Wig
orously to make good his promise
shortly after Inauguration that the
capital was to be a model munich
pality.
Mr.. Hoover authorized the de-
partment of justice to conduct the
grand jury investigation.

CHINA PALACES
ALSO AFFECTED
BY DEPRESSION

PEIPING, Sept. a UP)-Seyeral
Of the former Manchu palaces in
this city are offered for rent on
short or long leases. Some fami-
lies already have leased palaces IN
the Nan Hal (South Seas park,
and write the address Forbidden
City, on their stationery.
Experiments with renting former
palaces were begun last year, when
the Summer Palace, fayorite re-
creation ground OF the late Empress
Dowager in the suburbs of Peiping,
was thrown open to foreign and
Chinese tenants. It's success led to
opening the Forbidden City, in the
center of this ancient capital.
Opening of the Forbidden City,
declares Mayor Chou Ia Wen, is a
definite move to make Peiping a
great tourist center, and to induce
tourists to stay long time. Rents
have been fixed very low, SO that at
the present rate of exchange, apart
mentS in the imperial palaces are
available at about $40 tgolO a
month. Entire palaces are available
at $75 tgold.
The palaces are one-story wooden
structures, built around lovely rock
gardens in pure Chinese style. They
have been renovated, and have cleo
trio lights and running water. If
the experiment succeeds they prob
ably will be fitted with modern
plumbing
The Nan Hal is one of the three
imperial pleasure gardens here, COW
cring more than so acres in the
heart of the city. 1t has beautiful
artificial lake, with artificial islands
containing rock gardens, and some
of the places now offered for rent
arc on these islands. Its lotus pond
is one of the most famous in China.
