Drill Touches Roman
Fossils of $4,000 B. C..

ROME. = Italian self-sufficiency
experts were surprised when the
drill of an oil well erected on the
site of the Circus Maximus, after
reaching the 1,000-foot level sudden
ly plunged into a muddy river bed
along which the Tiber river flowed
more than 10000 years ago.
The American oil drilling equip
ment, feature of the Italian self
sufficiency exposition, had inadver-
tently made this years most impor-
tant archaeological discovery.
Samples of the river clay reveal
fossils that were deposited by the
Tiber 18 centuries before it shifted
to its present course and, according
to legend, bore Romulus and Remus,
the mythical founders of Rome, to
safety on its muddy waters.
The discovery makes the ruins of
Augustus Caesars ancient sports
stadium, which stand in venerable
contrast to the modern steel frame
work of the oil derrick, actually
young by comparison.
The oil derrick was erected on
the grounds of a national sef-suf-
ficiency fair as an attraction to
show visitors how oil is discovered.

shot for the alleged storing of arms
and explosives in his laboratory in
the Warsaw Technical college. The
explosives were said to have been

appointed committee to ask the

building for winter meetings.
The council foresaw budget diff

tee argued that the city provided

Radiant Living
NEVER
LONELY
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.
NEVER
LONELY

One day I called upon a dear
saint. She was aged and lived
alone in a house entirely too large
for her.
Are you not lonely here?" 1
asked her.
II am never lonely" she replied
with a smile. My heavenly Faith
er is always with me-"
Her statement caused me to
think of the many lonely people
that had met. What would they
not have given for such con-
sciousness of divine fellowship
which she enjoyed!
Lonely people are like those who
stood along the banks of the Jord-
an and listened to John the Baptist
when he declared: There is one in
the midst of you whom you know
not"
Are not the words of the Bap-
tist true concerning the most of
US today? Is there not One in the
midst of US of Whom we are not
aware? Is not God ever with you
even though you are not conscious
of His presence? In fact, st. Paul,
in writing concerning the presence
Of God goes to the extent of say
ing: "In Him we live and move
and have our being"
The presence Of God around
about us is like the presence of the
program that is being broadcast
by some radio station. The pro-
gram with its music is everywhere
about us, yet we are utterly un-
aware of its presence until we tune
in the program by means of a
radio.
In a somewhat similar way God
is about us at all times. But it
is only the spiritual man who by
his spirituality is able to bring in
to his consciousness an awareness
of the Divine Presence.
The spiritual man is never lone
ly for there is around about him
the glory of that heavenly Pres
ence which fills his otherwise emp
ty hours with a continuous joyful
companionship.
Are you longing to have a more
radiant life? Write to Rev. G. M.
Griffeth, Cecilton, Md. concerning
your difficulty, enclosing &c

IT'S JUST a can of soup. But
during a long lifetime, the
man who made it found some
way to advertise it. At first,
just sign over his little soup
kitchen, a few newspaper ads,
a few billboards. But as the
advertising grew, so did the
business.
Now the business employs
thousands of workers, helps to
support tens of thousands of
retail clerks and transporta-
tion men, and gives the house
wife a better, cheaper soup
than she could prepare at

a detail was sent to a nearby CON
struction job to borrow four 15-foos
planks.
The planks were placed under the
woman and she was moved as far
as the door. The casing was re-
moved and she was slid slowly and
gently down the stairway. To get
her out into the street, it was nee
essary to take off two sets of doors.
The task, including stops for more
oxygen administrations, took two
hours and a half. Then at its con-
cIusion, it was found that the am
bulance sent by the hospital was
too small. That necessitated borrow
ing a larger one from Kings County
hospital. When the hospital was
finally reached the woman's condi-
ton was found to be serious indeed.
AS a matter of fact she died not long
after she had been admitted. That,
however, was not the fault of the
emergency squad.
Thoughts while riding downtown
on the Ninth avenue elevated: That
section of Ninth avenue between
Fortieth and Thirty-Fourth streets,
known for many years as ''Paddy's
Market" is stin an outdoor mart.
The pushcarts were chased away
for causing traffic congestion after
the Lincoln vehicular tunnel under
the Hudson had been opened. But
much business is still done on the
sidewalks. In fact, just about every
thing from shirts to caps and from
string beans to artichokes may be
bought outside stores. With the go
ing of the pushcarts, various mer-
chants took over sidewalk space in
front Of their places of business for
display purposes. Looking down, it
seems as if many have spread their
entire stocks outside. Wheeled traf-
fic speeds right along. But pedes-
trians do not do SO well.
What intimate glimpses Of tene-
ment family life may be gained from
the windows of these old wooden
cars. For instance, in the Twen-
ties, the mother bathing one young
ster in bathtub while another wait
ing its turn to be tubbed, stands
L1y r,alyod ay,d IN cbopoad Al +l,,+
grizzled old, shirtless codger frying
steak-the window is open and the
odor unmistakable-with a corncob
pipe clutched tightly in his teeth.
Then, near Christopher street, a
beautiful young girl kneeling de-
voutly before a crucifx. Can't for
get that woman, so pale her face
seemed made of wax, who stared
from a window near Houston street,
her deep-set eyes seemingly reflect
ing utter n;r.
Another subway bit before closing.
On the walls of our living room are
four sets of two lights each. Never
when the switch is thrown do all
eight come on. We are not con-
scious Of vibrations from the sub
way, which runs not under but in
front Of the house, but these tremors
jar the bulbs loose in their sockets.
And I guess most New Workers are
of noise also unless it

Use Beavers to
Help Engineers g
Prevention Of Flood Dam
age Costing Thousands
Is New Program.


use beavers for prevention of dam
age totaling thousands of dollars an
nually from floods in Idaho has been
pronounced successful by Owen w.
Morris, game director.
Morris said more than 500 beaver
were transplanted last year from
lowlands where they were deemed
a nuisance by farmers to highlands
where their dams check the spring
runoff, prevent floods and conserve
water for late summer irrigation
and stock watering.
The beaver were becoming almost
extinct because of the ravages of
illegal hunting and the destruction of
their natural breeding grounds by
the white mans civilization. But
under conservation program car
ried on with the cooperation of the
federal biological survey, soil con-
servation and forestry service the
beaver population has increased
during the last five years.
Pittman-Robinson act funds made
possible the trapping and trans
planting of 376 beaver last summer
in addition to approximately $50
trapped by regular conservation Of
fcers.
Trapped by Farmers.
The beaver were trapped all over
the state, wherever farmers report
ed they were nuisance. They were
planted in the Owyhee, Targhee and
Challis forests, in the upper reaches
of mountain streams.
The beaver have built dams which
keep the moisture in the soil and
even the flow in streams. Greeks
which in other years ran dry in late
summer still carried a flow last fall,
a boon to farmers and stock raisers.
The pools behind the beaver dams
serve as excellent breeding pools for
fish and create food for game fish,
Morris said.
The value of beaver from the view
point of conservation is $500 each,
when placed in its proper place in
lIlG WdlGIS1GO, Sdlu.
Idaho has one of the largest popu-
lations of any state, probably be-
cause of its many rivers and small
streams, Morris said. They are
found generally throughout the state
but mostly in the northern and east
ern sections.
The beaver conservation program
valuable in north Idaho, where ON
meadow farms their dams hold up
subsoil moisture and provide SUBJ
soil irrigation.
First Year of Experiment.
This is the first year beaver trans
planting has been carried out on
large scale in Idaho. Washington,
Oregon and Montana are reported
carrying on similar experiments.
Morris caught the first live bea-
yer trapped in Idaho in 1881, near
Pierce, assisted by Tom Murray and
Jess Robinson, conservationists.
The Beaver conservation program
will gain momentum like a snow
ball rolling downhin. The beaver
breed once year and have litter
Of four or five kittens.
When the streams become fully
stocked the surplus can be trapped,
pelted and marketed. The pelts are
worth about $40 each now.
Morris said a project for man.
agement of the beaver may be
worked out under the Pittman-Rob-
inson act. Protection Of the beaver
from illegal trapping has been
more successful during the last two
years and federal officials believe
they have broken up a S1,000,000
illegal beaver fur ring The areas
where beaver were planted will be
patroled against illegal trapping.

Smile

A pleasant word accompanied by a
loving smile,
Makes ife's problems seem for
awhile,
Not burdensome or cause one to
appear blue
That's what smile will do for YOU,
What we need is more of us to
smile.
To help temper our answers that
would rile,
Many of US to an endless argument
Which proved in the end no harm
was meant.
A smile can always help US see,
There's some way out of every
quandary
A smile let's a solution have a
chance to work.
And dlspels dark clouds before
they can hurt.
What's more lovely to see in the
human race
Than the smile shown on an elderly
persons face,
Even the wrinkled by age and
worldly cares,
Their smile proves that good can
go in pairs.
Many can smile in discouragement's
face,
Never let us know that there's a
trace,
OF their heavy heart by appearing
sad
But always smile and act glad.
Let US learn the art of smiling
every day,
Then we can help keep all worries
away,
A smile is magic-sort of elixir in
life
That makes US forget about mortal
strife.
