was on motion by Senator Con-
nally (Dem) Texas.
On a motion by Senator Barkely
CDem) Kentucky, the committee
voted to reduce the tax on race
track admissions from IS per cent
to 10 per cent.

Happy's Inn Notes

The ungratefulness of some people is
beyond human comprehension. After
having the use Of Happy's Inn picnic
grounds and dance pavilion, all free
of charge, on Memorial Day, some one
deliberately put the whole water sys-
tenn out of commission by twisting and
turning plug in the water main, and
letting out all the water at the critical
hour when the evening meal was in
progress, leaving the place completely
out of water until next day when Mr..
Townsend had to improvise some way
of holding water in the main until a
more substantial repair could be ar
rarged for.
This positively closes the picnic
grhAnds for public use in the future
and only by special permission may
one use the same. The management at
the Inn has tried to provide ways and
means for the local people to enjoy
the outdoors at their lakes but each
year it has proven more useless on ac-
count of the many misdemeanors COM
mitted This wrecking of the whole
water system is the Straw that broke
the camel's back"

Church and Palace One
When World Was Young

worship in early times, Prof. David
Moore Robinson of Johns HOPKINS uni
verslty says, took place In the palaces
where the king was also priest, and
in7the palace Of King Minos as early as
1860 B. c. there were anIconic Images,
such as the Greek cross which is used
now In the Greek church. After the de-
sfruction OF the Minoan civilization"
ne continued, Greece was plunged In.
TO dark age from 100 to 700 B. c.,
and had TO develop all over again from
humble origins The church was sep
arated from the state and the temples
came to be separate buildings from the
palaces"
Professor Robinson said that In the
early times in Crete and elsewhere In
Greece caves were used as shrines and
vctive offerings were deposited in the
caves. Such use OF caves was con-
tinued through the classical and me-
dleval ages" he added, 'and still ex-
lists at I4ourdes and other places"
The earliest Greek temples which
were separated from the palaces, he
declared. were OF stone foundations
with walls of mud brick and columns
or wood, such as that OF Hera AT
Olympia. Others like that at Corinth
had monolithic columns OF limestone
covered with stucco. But the great
temples Of the Fifth century B. G.
were built of marble.

Spirit of Asia in Italy

1t might be said Of more places than
one that where Italians live today the
spirit Of Asia permeates everything.
but Of Palermo In Sicily It always
seems to be specially true. Its lovely

this to the mind, as If the East and
not the West had reared it for a glory
other than that OF Rome.
Byzantine, Norman, German. French
and Spaniard have come here to
