was the basic patent, so to speak, of the
theater form.
Dagonally across the stage Of the ancient
theater was installed a feature that did not
become a part of the theater's basic patent. 1t
was not really very good idea. 1t was
slightly raised, paved walk, leading straight
from the palace entrance right across the stage
to the theater aisle.
When the prince and his friends attended
the theater, they came in with pomp and cere-
mony The men wore elaborate curls and
rather nondescrpt clothes. The women were
more decorative in hounced. tight-waisted
dresses with puff sleeves and with tiaras on
their c,lrled and carefully arranged hair. They
were as decorative as modern hrst-night
audience.
The diagonal walk offered fine chance for
a grand entrance, but it must have caused
grief to any performer in the show who
stumbled over the raised stones.
Another raised line of hagstones served the
useful purpose of keeping back rain water, SO
that it would not flood the stage. The water
was drained of toward circular cistern
nearby.
While not very interesting to look at. that
fagstone line tells a good deal about scenes
in this early theater. It would appear that
events held there were important and could
always wait for the sun to dry up the stage
after q rain. The prince and the court could
bring out their c,ishions-as archeologists be-
lieved that they did-when they took their
places on the stone steps. But wet and slip
perry paving for the stage would not d. and
drainage was provided.
THE first productions in the ancient Cretan
] Theater were doubtless religious. The actors
were priests and others taking part in religious
spectacles That does not mean that the scenes

priestesSeS in calm dignity. In the holy pro-
cessions the ruler himself took part, as priest
king.
Most spectacular Of all were the dangerous
bull graphing contests. Daringly boys and
girls of Crete risked their necks doing aero
battles with the sacred bulls But these bull
acrobatics, Prof. Pernier believes did not gain
wide vogue in Crete until about the sixteenth
century BIC.
BY that time the first palace of Phaestos had
met with disaster and was burned to the ground.
It was rebuilt, and the theater was now larger,
with fiat stage, clear Of fancy raised side
walks With a new Opening" the historic
theater Of Phaestos- 800 or 400 years
old-was ready for the great religious circus
events Of the day.
All that Is really known Of these sports be-
tween bull and man Is what Cretan artists de-
picted on walls and art objects. The pictures
reveal acrobats doing feats 50 difficult that some
modern athletes have fatty said, impossible"
Yet these Hvid, lively figures cannot be mere
dreams Of alcient artists. Archeologists who

were dull. Far from It.
Drama was in the breed
of the people Of Crete.
Religious events in
Crete called for music
Of flutes and Tyres and
singing. At times maid
ems and youth danced
their emotions before the
Cretan goddess. Those
dances were noteworthy
enough for the Greeks to
be still talking about
them centuries after.
Coiling, twisting snakes
were symbols carried by
the Cretan goddess, and

not prove so pleasant.
Some years back, when an effort was made
to have farmers keep records Of their dairy
production, that is, herd records, officials and
experts found it difficult to convince many that
there was a real advantage in knowing JUST
where each COW stood in efficiency rating.
The usual system advocated was based on
Individual records Of each COW. The amount
of milk given daily was tabulated. A Sample
of each days production was placed in preservs-
tive to determine the butter fat test later, ana
a careful check on the amount of feed given
was maintained
At the end Of q 15-day period. balance
was struck. It was found in many cases that
COW was just about buying her feed, ana
In extreme cases others were found which
were not paying their way. The solution was to
consign these non-productive animals to the
butcher and build the herd up with new STOCK
from known producers Of paying quantities Of
milk. Where such herd records were kept. the
net income Of the dairy was almost always
increased by judicious selection of the aa1naS
to be retained,

The unexpected arrival of U. S. des-
troyer No. 100. followed a few hours la
ter by a coastguard gave rise TO lot of
wild speculation as to the cause Of the
presence of two war vessels
The coastguard brought over the new
Government Attorney with his wife and

We can hardly believe the visit of the
mentioned vessels ha e any connection
with local affairs; although there seems
to DE disposition in certain quarters to
make the populuce appear as riotous and
thus justify repressive measures.
