Baths of Ancient Rome
Won Well Merited Fame

The great appreciation which
Romans had for public and private
hygiene is characteristic of them.
Plutarch had already remarked that
prophylaxis was the foremost duty
of the physician. The remains OF
the ancient aqueducts and baths are
mute evidence of the vast, organ
lied sanitary achievements in the
capital of the ancient world. From
nine directions the aqueducts con-
verged on Rome and furnished
about 80 gallons head daily. How
ever, the water was not piped into
the poorer sections of the city.
There the streets smelled of the con-
tents of the vessels emptied out the
windows, even from the top floors.
While the practice OF swimming
the Tiber thrice daily in order TO
inure ones self had existed during
early Roman times, IT was custom
airy during the period of the empire
to visit the public baths, writes a
correspondent to Cha Symposla. In
Rome alone 800 of them were open
TO the public. The largest ones are
the Baths of Caracalla, which were
also a rendezvous for athletes and
idlers. In the midst OF large park
(about Is acres) was the main
building. First one entered the gym
nasia, where the most famous ath-
letes were pictured on the mosaic
floors. Then the rooms for cold,
lukeWarm and hot baths, inunctions
and massage we're visited. There
the famous Farnesian Bull was To-
Gated and the walls we're decorated
with many works of art. Although
members of the same family did not
battle together in early times, this
custom developed later. Even
strangers bathed together.

Murder

factress, Mrs. Margaret Logan. q
real estate agent whose body
was found buried in a shallow
backyard grave last Dec. 20.
Mrs. Judson admitted she bur-
led the body in Mrs. Logans
backyard but claimed the wom-
an was shot and bludgeoned by
Arthur Logan, her late husband.
Twenty five years ago the
body of Jacob Denton, Los An
geles engineer, was found bur-
led and cemented over in the
basement of his home. Mrs. judi
son was convicted of his murder,
spent 10 years of a life sentence
in a penitentiary, then was pa
rolled to the care of Mrs. Logan.
The jury did not recommend
leniency yesterday. Under Cali
fornia law this means a manda-
tory death sentence. If the sem
tence is carried out, Mrs. Judson
will be the second woman TO die
in the San Quentin gas chamber,
The first was Mrs. Juanita Spin
ELI, San Francisco grandmother,
Nov. 81, 1941.
Mrs. Judson was calm as the
verdict was read. While the jury
deliberated she read Lin Yu-
tang's book, THE Importance
of Living"
1.-THE verdict was inevitable,
she told reporters. Half way
through the trial was sure what
it would be. It's too bad Mrs.
Logan wasn't ir the courtroom
to see how unjust that verdict
was"
The state charged that Mrs.
Judson murdered Mrs. Logan to
gain control of her property and
that there had been a bitter ar
gument over $ZUU Cneck fOrg-
cry.
Mrs. Judson, formerly of Den
yer, Colo, is the widow of Lee
Borden Judson, former bank
messenger. He was arrested with
her in the Logan Staying but
was exonerated by a coroner's
jury. The day after the inquest
he plunged to his death from an
upper floor of downtown build

Mrs. Judson once was married
to Richard c Peete of Denver.
He took his own life in Tucson,

victed in the Denton Staying.
