uncheon-meeting at 1918 p. m.
Tuesday at the Brown Hotel, said
Antioch antiquities at Lions Club
that some form of National De-
partment of Antiquities would be of
great help in preserving native
American relics. Irreparable harm
may be done historic burial sites and
other remains, he said, by the eff
forts of well-meaning but unframed
persons who often may destroy re-
mains of priceless importance.
. Archaeological research in this
country probably will never be as
interesting to experts as that in
the Mediterranean regions in DR..
Campbell's opinion, since, he ex-
planned, American Indian burial
mounds are relics Of primitive
culture. having no connection with
modern civilization, while buried
cities of the Mediterranean repre-
sent the beginnings of our own way
of life. Nevertheless, there is a
great academic interest attached to
Indian remains, among which COM
paratively little exploration has
been attempted, he added.
Urges State Bureau
A State supervised Department of
Antiquities in this country, he said,
probably would operate as in other
nations having valuable relics. The
archaeologists doing the work re-
ceive so per cent of the findings,
the State receives first choice, DR..
Campbell explained, but all proper
ty containing sites for excavation
is considered as belonging to the
State, the property owner being
compensated for any damage done
his land
1t is too early to say whether
the war will restrict the activities
of his group, which is sponsored by,
in addition to Princeton, the Louvre
Museum Of Paris, the Baltimore
Museum of Art, the Worcester Art
Museum and Harvard University S
Fogg Museum, Dr. Campbell said,
But he hopes the war will leave his
little corner Of the Mediterranean
untouched-since much work re-
mains to be done on Saint Thekla' S
tomb in Antioch.

Former Resident

In Archaeology

EUREKA, April 9.-"Sandy"
Campbell, as he was known to his
many friends whom he made here
during his short residence with his
young bride in the little house still
designated as the Campbell house."
has returned to his work in Antioch
after spending the winter months in
the United States. Upon his return
home in the East from lecture at
Ann Arbor, Mich, he stopped off
to visit his father in Louisville, Ky,
and the following item taken from
the Courier-Journal of that city I'M
der date of January l, 1910, will be
of interest to his friends and to 9TH
ers interested in archaeology. Mr..
Campbells mother, Mrs. w. S.
Campbell, still makes her home on
the Reed-Campbell ranch at Roos-
vile. The article reads:

DR.. Campbell, who is staying with
his father at the Brown Hotel, has
directed four major excavations
among the ruins of Antioch, uncov-
ering much material of historical
importance from the city which
flourished after the decline of Rome
and met its end by disaster in the
middle of the Fifth Century.
Seeks Saints Grave
Antioch, which had a population
of one and a half millions, with
100000 taxpayers was destroyed by
two major earthquakes and the pill
laying of the Persians in less than
20 years, DR.. Campbell explained
The first quake, in 528, lasted 40
days and killed 100000 The second
occurred two years later. Then the
citizens pulled themselves together
and tried to rebuild their ruins but
in $40 they unwisely tainted the

outside their gates, and the city was

twist Of history within one genera
ton" that DR.. Campbells work is
concerned He has uncovered Ro-
man houses and shops, the Circus
around which Ben Hur is supposed
to have raced his famous chariot
and, most important from the
archaeologistS' viewpoint, an early
Christian church which DR.. Camp
bell feels may be the burial place
of Saint Thekla, a well known saint
and martyr of the early Greek
church. Saint Thekla was a rich
young woman who heard Saint Paul
preach at Iconium and who followed
him determinedly thereafter in spite
of efforts to feed her to bears wild
bears, wolves and SO forth.
Her moral victory over these ami
mails, all of which repeatedly re-
fused to eat her, established her as
a saint worthy of particular venera-
ton by the early Christians The
church, which DR.. Campbell believes
contains her tomb, is circular in
shape and was completed in 400
A. D. 1t is decorated with sculptured
figures from the Old and New Test
aments and with mosaic pictures of
Daniel in the lions den and other
animal stories. 1t may well be a
most important contribution to
Christian history, he added.

Yesterday I spoke of the great
amount Of dirt and rock which had
to be taken out of the way to make
the Panama Canal. Millions OF
cubic yards were lifted by power
shovels.
Much of the canal, however, was
made by flooding land instead OF
digging a ditch. A river ran across
the route, and huge dam was built
to block 1t up.
The average width of the dam
Is about l mile, but 1t is much
wider at the top than at the bot
tom. 1t stopped the river, and the
water spread about until it formed a
lake.
That body of water is known as
Gatun Lake. 1t has an area OF
about l64 square miles. In some
parts it is more than 80 feet deep,
and the average depth Is more than
80 feet.
Vessels which 60 through the
canal use the lake for a distance
OF about "a miles. Then they must
70 through the famous Gaillard
Gut, formerly known as the Guile
bra Cut.
Culebra Hill stood in the way of
the canal. The only thing to do
was to cut through it. Step by
step, the rock was blasted to pieces

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle.
UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Bockng of River Helped Produce Panama Canal

On each coast, q channel about 5
miles long was made by cutting into
the sea bottom. The purpose was
to make the water deep enough
to allow large vessels to get into
the canal.
The level of Gatun Lake is IS
feet above the sea. All ships must
be lifted when they pass through
the canal, and the lifting Is done
by means of locks of huge size.
The total cost of the canal was
about $500, 900 900. In times Of
peace it is open to vessels of all
nations. but tolls must be paid for
the passage. The tolls give the
American Government a net profit
Of millions of dollars each year,
and in 80 or 40 years the whole cost
of the canal should be back to the
Treasury.

Don't Take NV
Word for 1t
By FRANK CORBY.
Nope

Noun: The back part OF the
neck.
Nape is the surprise word of the
week. The average speaker not only
mispronounces the WORD as nap"
to rhyme with cap, but misuses it as
we'll in the common expression THE
nape of the neck"
Since the meaning Of nape is the
back part OF the neck" to use the
expression The nape Of the neck
is to say literally: The back part
of the neck Of the neck" Simply
say: The nape.
The "a" in nape has the long
sound (ay) as in ape. cape. tape. The
word cape, frequently mispro-
nounced gap" must also rhyme
with cape.
Correct pronunciations: NAYP,
GAYP.
Question: Is it correct to speak Of
window curtains as "drapes?"-

Answer: "Drapes" is regarded as a

as much as it probably does YOU
We merely report the bidding as it
actually took place.
West led the four of spades and
south-Mrs. A M. Sobel-resisted
the temptation to put up the king
or ace. For if she ducked, East
would undoubtedly win, and what
would that worthy return with four
miserable diamonds staring him in
the face?
So. she played a low spade from
the dummy. and East, as expected,
won with the spade queen and shift
ed to the diamond jack. That gave
South the chance to earn top score
by making an overtrick.
She won with the diamond ace,
cashed the club queen, then the dia-
mond king, and next the club king.
Dummys high spades were next
taken, and South discarded the
losing diamond-thus making up for
the loss of the spade trick.
But that wasn't all, for a dla-
mond ruff now set up dummys es-

whole swindle had been concocted.
