SOME WORLD WONDERS

The seven wonders of the ancient
world have often been described They
were the great Pyramid of Cheops, the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple
of Diana at Ephesus, the Grecian statue of
Jupiter the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus,
the Pharos lighthouse at Alexandria, and
the Colossus of Rhodes. All except the
great pyramid have been destroyed.
Other wonders, which vie with the
classical seven in magnitude and historical
interest, are to be found in various parts of
the world, mostly in ruins. Among these
the most striking are to be found in Italy.
The Circus Maxin1us at Rome, orig
inally built in sos, B. c., was enlarged at
various times until in the fourth century it
was capable of holding $4,000 specta-
tors
Another of the worlds largest amphi-
theaters, the Coliseum at Rome, was the
scene of horrible atrocities, in which early
Christians ard others by the thousands
were thrown into the arena to be killed by
wild lions and tigers.
The Appian Way, extending $50 miles
years before Christ, and was the finest
highway of its time.
In Pisa is the famous leaning tower,
built in 1854, which has threatened to
tumble down for more than 500 years, but
still stands. 81
The Vatican at Rome, home of the
Popes since 1877, was begun by the En-
peror Constantine in the fourth century It
is the largest residence in the world Here
also is the largest church in the world, the
Cathedral of St Peter, begun in 1906 and
completed 126 years later
All these are visited by thousands of
tourists and others each year, because of
their unique character and historic in
terest.

cLEvELAND's FOUNDER

Because an editors type did not fit
the intended heading of his newspaper,
the spelling of the name of Cleveland,
Ohio, was permanently changed, according
to a recent writer The town was orig
inally Cleaveland, named after Moses
Cleaveland, its founder, who was born in
1854 and died in 1906.
When the Cleveland Advertiser was
established in 1880, the editor found the
line of type he desired to use as heading
was too long for the page, so he omitted
the silent "a" from Cleaveland's name.
The new spelling was soon adopted gen.
orally, and has been used ever since.
Moses Cleaveland was graduated from
Yale in TIT and served in the Continental
Army, later practicing law in his native
town of Canterbury. Conn. In 1896 he led
a surveying expedition for a land company
in which he was a shareholder, and also
negotiated with the Indians, along the
Great Lakes in the Western Reserve coun-
try.
On July %. 1896, he selected the
present location of the city as site for a
permanent settlement and his party named
it in his honor Cleveland is now the sixth
city of the United States in size, with a
population of more than 100000.

POPULAR MTSNoMERs

Many familiar articles bear names
which are misleading, although the mis-
nomers are generally of little practical i'm.
portance. A peculiar instance of this is
seen in the popular name of the Jerusalem
artichoke, which is in no way connected
with the famed city of the Holy Land.
In this case the word Jerusalem" is
corruption of the italian "girasole, =
tmeaning turning to the SUM, from the
habit of the plant. which is of the same
genus as the sunflower.
The sunflower. by the way, has a
name which is doubly appropriate. be-
cause it not only inclines to turn toward
the sun. but its flower also has some re.
semblanee to the sun itself.
Both the sunflower and Jerusalem
artiehoke are indigenous to America. but
there Is also globe artichoke. which i,
probably a native of Asia.

frequently heard is Irish potato" This

Europe. first as a curiosity. II later be-
came the most important item of food for

KEY WEST IN

Happenings Here just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

There is already a submarine
base at Key West which viii care
for 20 to 30 submarines, but it is
inactive because there are none of
this type of craft assigned to this
port. It was nearly completed
when the armistice was signed,
and only ESSENTIAL work, such as
the completion of the seawall, has
been done since. The government
has already spent $2,000,000 on
this base. There are barracks
which will take about 500 men
and marines. Officers may occupy
quarters in the immediate vicin-
ity. The climate and waters of
Key West are ideal for submarine
work. Within one hours steam
ing from Key West are the waters
of Florida Bay, and an ideal train
ing place for any type of craft,
and, it IS said, especially subma-
rines. All necessary equipment
for the submarine base can be
easily placed and now we but
await the ending of board of in
spection to give an answer to the
question.

gan at once to raise prices by man.
date, and raise wages far above the
high prosperity level though more
than twelve million workers were out
of employment. The chief purpose of
the AAA and the NRA was to bring
the greatest prosperity ever known
by forcing high wages and high prices.
This was the purpose in destroying
millions of acres of farm products. and
converting over five million pigs,
weighing up to sixty pounds each. into
fertilizer and soap grease.
Only last year the President said.
Reduction of costs of manufacture
does not mean more purchasing pow
er and more goods consumed it
means just the opposite" The mean
ing of this statement is, keep the
costs high if we want great pros
perity." The purpose of the President
in calling the recent special session
of Congress was to pass two laws to
raise prices and wages.
The one little defect in this fantastic
theory of the relation of high prices
and high wages to prosperity is that
prosperity is the cause of high prices
and high wages, not the effect. Cause
and effect are really different. They
are not interchangeable If you pro-
duce cause you may be certain of
its effect. If you produce a jackass you

Now. as the people begin to awaken

ment authorities behold some Of the
real effects of their theory of forced
high prices and forced high wages,
they hear the protests of consumers
against the ever advancing cost of
living. A nationwide investigation is
ordered to find out why the high
prices and the cost of living It forced
up really came about, and who is re-
sponsible for this reprehensible result
OF the one great objective of the adj
ministration.
The investigation. in the words Of
the President, is limited to the fed
''of monopolistic practices and other
unwholesome methods Of COMPETE

tages in thus limiting the field of in
vestigation. In the first place, it viii

increase in the cost of living. IT. the
second place, it will be inclined to
lead the Ignorant and the uniformed
to place the blame on the economic
royalists. This may be good politics.
Business is highly complex APP
piled science. The function of the gov
eminent under the Constitution is to
regulate business, not direct ii. Regu-
Iation is judicial function. and may
be exercised successfully without a
knowledge of the complexities of
business activities, just as religious
institutions may be successfully regu-
lated without a knowledge of the
ology.
It is not serious that those in charge
of the government are ignorant of the
complexities of business. The direc-
ton of business does not properly
come under their jurisdiction. But it
is extremely hazardous to business
and to general welfare for those who
hold political power to assume that
they have knowledge that they do not
possess, and exercise the authority of
direction in a field Of highly special
lied activities of which they are de-
plorably ignorant, and are ignorant
of the fact that they are ignorant.
We are beginning to reap the re-
wards of the experiment of substitute
ing political ignorance for specialized
business skill.

they shot 'em just for a buffalo
