What's What
Behind News
in Capital:'
Stock Market Boom
Feared as Injury
to Business.
BY PAUL MALLON.

" CONOMIC soothsayers are get
l. ting little worried now, not
because business may go bad
IL but because it may get toe
good.
They are thinking largely in terms
of the stock market. Wall Streeters
generally dash from fits Of despair
into ecstasy and back again without
stopping anywhere between.
The current improvement in general
business may cause a somewhat legiti-
mate baby boom during the next &c
days. 1t will assume a dangerous
aspect if the spectators or the public
or both try to make full-groWn man
out of it Immediately.
For that reason you may expect Mr.
Roosevelt to throw a little cold water
on the boomlet boys soon.
Will Conserve Upswing.
The idea is to keep close check
on the Spring uprush and save as
much of it as possible for the Summer
slip-of. If that can be done We will
walk on firm ground straight uphill
If not, the inevitable reactions from
time to time will be abrupt.
Unless that situation alters the whole
picture (and it probably will noD the
insiders believe they can see fairly
clearly what may be expected.

Where Kings Rode

Long narrow grooves may still be seen in the stone streets of Stobi where Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great once rode in charriots. Along the sides of the streets are finely preserved patri- clan homes, as in Pompeii. Lovely ccurtyards with marble swimming pools and fountains also may be seen. The city was a great center of learning, art and culture dur ing the height of the Roman em- p.re.
 In the center is great stone amphitheatre which seated 10000 people. Here wild animal contests, gladiatorial combats and Olympic games were staged four centuries before Christ.
 ArchaeologistS and eXcavatorS at- tached to the National Museum at Belgrade, who made the discovery, intend to make Stobi an mterna- tional place of pilgrimage. Within 25 or 50 years, they declare, Stobi will be as famous as the renowned Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
 Governors Villa Stands
 For a thousand years or more not a living soul moved within the streets of this Forgotten City" But today hundreds of swarthy Yugo-slav and Albanian peasants are seen digging from dawn until sundown among the ruins. The dark, narrow streets are now sec ing the sunlight for the first time since Stobi was engulfed. Superb mosaics of vivid blue, red, green and orange have come to life again under the brilliant sun.
 The luxurious marble villa of the Roman governor still stands. Near by is Jewish synagogue built 300 years after Christ was crucified. Tn the cellar one may look into a quaintly made cistern of that lost age where seven gold pieces were cast by a panic-stricken Hebrew fleeing from the havoc of the earthquake
 There is also perfectly-preserv- ed equalization system, illustrat- ing the engineering skill of the an- cient Greeks and Romans.
 Surface Dareiy Scratched
 pr. Pecovich declares that de- spite the remarkable results already achieved, the archaeologists had barely scratched the surface" of the Lost City, which covers about 350,000 square feet.

 MT.

Though at first, small hope was held out for saving the arm, it is now believed that he will have 75 per cent use of it within a year, he wrote.
 He plans to leave on January 10 for a trip around the world on the Empress of Britain and next May go to Los Angeles for bone transfer which is expected to give back the partial use of his arm.

Second Pompeii,' . Buried in
 Quake, Found in Yugoslaria
By JAMES A. MILLS

STOBI, Yugoslavia, Sept. 21-A second Pompeii has been discov- cred in this remote part of the Balkans.
 It is regarded by government archaeologists as one of the most important antiquarian finds ever made in Europe. pr. Vlada Peto- vich, director of the National Mu- scum at Belgrade, ranks the newly unearthed metropolis with Babylon, Pompeii, Luxor, Thebes and Kar- nak.
 The disinterred city is called Stobi, which was also it's ancient name. It was founded 2,400 years ago by the Greeks and was later the capital for centuries of the im- portant Roman province of Mace donia. In 518 A. D., according to the archaeologists, it was destroy ed by an earthquake which also wiped out 12 other populous and flourishing cities in Macedonia.
