Horse of Troy Tradition
Gets Scientific Approval

Quite often scientists prove some
honored ancient tradition to be
wrong, but there are times when
they prove an honored ancient ira
dition to be right. For many CEN
fury, until science came along with
its trained psychologists to prove
that there really was something to
the old tradition of Troy and Helen
of Troy and the Trojan horse, schol-
ars regarded it as an entertaining
story, but no more. They even de-
bated the question whether there
ever was a Troy and they some
times proved that there wasn't.
For the last seven years Ameri-
can Psychologists have been doing
q really complete job of excavation
at the site of Troy and they have
clearly established that the ancient
city which stood for SO long as
guardian of the Dardanelles existed
through more than 40 datable peri
DDS. Nine communities were rep
resented by the city mound, mean
ing that, time after time, the COM
munity at Troy was wiped out and
later leveled off and rebuilt anew on
top of the remains of the former
cities. Troy had nine lives, in fact,
writes DR.. lothian Johnson, Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh archeologist, in
the Scientific American. The ex-
petitions at Troy were headed by
Prof. Carl Blegen, of the University
of Cincinnati.
First to be unearthed was spa
cious hall with 10 columns, dating
from 1900 to 1400 B. c. Evidences
of destruction of the city by fire
were found at several depths, in the
form of a layer of ash and charred
materials. Shattered stones at one
level indicated earthquake destruc-
ton. Finally, the earliest occupa-
ton level of all was revealed, with
fortification wall and gates f1anked
by projecting towers, Troy before
the beginning of the age of metals.
Science thus has given ample evil
dence for the existence of a real
and actual Troy, so let lovers of the
odyssey" and the 'Iliad" rejoice.

Sweetest Story

Here is the history of the song
entitled "The Sweetest Story Ever
Told": In 1884 Robert Morrison
Suits resigned as musical instruc-
tor in the Long Branch, N. j., high
school and moved to Baltimore, Md,
where he opened piano and sheet
music business. For some time he
had been obsessed with the idea of
writing a popular sentimental bal
lad. Mira Mirella, a comic opera
star, was in search of such song
and Mr.. Suits promised to write one
for her. Going home one evening
his wife, who had been reading "The
Birds Christmas Carol" remarked,
"Well, that's the sweetest story
ever!" He Immediately supplied
the word told" and in two hours the
song was finished. Its success was
instantaneous.

Salt Money

The word salary finds its origin
in: Salarium Argentina Roman
soldiers allowance for essential salt.
Salt is so all-important to the human
body that, to stay healthy, each per-
son requires about six pounds Of
cooking salt annually. In warfare, it
is known that Napoleon owed his
defeat before Moscow to the loss of
his salt supply. Thousands of men
died whose wounds refused to heal,
and whose systems seemed to invite
rather than repel disease. Salt is
