Ancient Treasure
Persian Gold
Brouqht to Museum

CHICAGO.-A royal treasure OF
Persian gold from the period 500
BIC. has been bought by the Uni
versity Of Chicago's Oriental insti-
tute.
University officials said the val
liable collection was bought from a
European art collector for an I'M
disclosed price. 1t is the only col
lection of its type in the western
hemisphere.
Thorkild Jacobsen, director OF
the institute, said the treasure con-
sists of SO pieces of gold, each ex-
quisitely carved. He said it is an
example of the art of the last
oriental empire before Greece and
Rome took over cultural leadership.
1t is from the period of the
Emperors Darius and Xerxes and
survived the looting and plumber
ing by soldiers in the time of
Alexander the Great.
In~tricately designed, the medal
lions are believed to have been
adornments for the vesture of royal
personages. They are the work of
Persian goldsmiths and Jacobsen
said they rank in craftsmanship
with what the finest modern jewel
ers could do today with improved
tools and microscopes.
He said the treasure represents
an art supported by unlimited
wealth.
How the gold survived the last
$500 years is supposition. But his
torians believe that some Persian
prince, fleeing from Alexander's
men, may have buried the treasure
for safekeeping.
One piece is a complete neck
lace consisting of 96 separate
pieces-20 lion heads, So gran
ulated beads and % other beads
made Of two parts.
The most priced single piece is
a four-inch winged and horned
lion. The ribs, muscles and feath-
ers are chiseled to form the body.
Experts said it is a rare piece of
relief art work, the lion having
been cut away from the medallion
by hand.
The university said a micro
scopic examination showed that
small rings on the back of the
medallions, for the purpose OF sew
ing the medallions to clothing, had
been soldered with the same quality
Of gold as the jewelry.

Early Rising Beneficial

CHICAGO.-Early rising after

Blodgett studied 5O4 cases in
which early rising was practiced
and SOB cases in which the patients
remained in bed at least seven
days after their operations.
Wound disruption after abdominal
operations occurred in 2.7 per cent
of the late-rising group, while the
incidence in the early-rising group
was IL per cent. Wound infection
among the early risers was 2.8 per

British Dentists Pull Teeth,
Fill Cavities by StopWaich

LONDON.-BrltlSn QentlStS are
pulling teeth and filling cavities by
the stop watch this week.
The purpose is to determine how
much time they spend treating each
patient and why dentists under the
socialized health scheme are earn
ing such high salaries.
1t is a ministry of health expert
ment. Five hundred dentists work.
ing the health scheme are doing the
timing. Another SO dentists who
practice privately are filling out the
same questionnaires as a check.
They were chosen at random.
Health Minister Aneurin Bevin's
calculations on the costs Of free"
dentistry were thrown completely
out of line by the fat paychecks of
the dentists. He therefore halved
all gross payments yer 1890
pounds ($19. 2O0) a year because of
the urgency of the situation" Dent
lists admitted they were making
more under the health scheme. but
protested what they called an "arbi-
trary cut" They blamed Bevin's
system of fees.
Bevin fixed the rates at 10 shil-
lings ($2) for an extraction, 20 shil-
lings ($4) for a simple filling and
80 shillings ($6) for a more compli-
Gated filling. He figured dentists
would work 33 chair side hours a
week and, at these rates, earn a
gross annual income of $500 pounds
($i5,2OO).
Many dentists. however, claim
they can work much faster than
Bevin calculated. The time check
was designed to show whether
Bevin misfigured.
1.-THE high salaries now being
earned may be due more to dem
lists having to work overtime be-
cause Of the tremendous demand
than to high rates." said E. D. Cox,
secretary Of the British Dental asso-
citation.
There is nothing in the law to pre-
vent a dentist from working day
and night. and some do.

By BOB ~STURTEVANT

A lot of ex-service people
are in for a pleasant lift early
next year when nearly 8 bill
lions in G.. 1. life insurance
dividends will be distributed.
Originally the pay-off was
slated for this year, but per-
haps there are a couple of
slow counters in the Veterans
Administration. The fact that
next year is an election year
probably has nothing to do
with the case. Average melon
slices will run around $3.50 to
S17O, and while you can't re-
tire on that it's certainly bet
ter than a punch in the nose.
The surplus comes from &C
cumulated interest. And there's
nothing more interesting than
a surprise dividend.
Man isn't the only animal
that gets bald. So do some of

agency's shopping sleuths, whose
slogan is ''caveat emptor" Qet

wives millions of dollars a year,
numerous instances of cheating
unfortunately escape it's vigilance.
Many Are Cheated
Fred j. Loughran, bureau di-
rector, said today that city store
keepers sold two billion dollars
worth Of food a year. OF this
amount, he estimated that forty
million dollars was mulcted from
housewives as a result Of under
handed practices behind counters.
Loughran cited a variety Of
methods dishonest retailers use to
swindle gullible customers. A re-
cent case involved a grocery-store
owner who placed all purchases
on large pieces Of wrapping paper.
AS he weighed each purchase. he
surreptitiously held down one end
of the paper to make the scale in
dicator go up a few ounces, and
thus added a few extra dollars to
his cash register every day.
In another instance an inspector
caught a butcher who weighed meat
on a piece Of paper under which
he placed a pound Of flattened-out
bacon. The same agent also trapped
a fishmonger who neglected to re-
move large chips of ice from his
fish before he weighed them. An
other inspector recently served a
summons on a fruit vendor who
casually left a few cherries and
grapes on his scale as he weighed
each purchase.
Develop Subtle Methods
Some ingeniously dishonest
tradesmen have developed subtler
methods for which they often dupe
hundreds of innocent customers
until a bureau employee spots the
gimmick. One butcher who fell into
this category wound a thin piece of
string around the tray of his scale,
the loose end of which fell to the
floor behind the counter. To this
end he attached a makeshift wood
en- pedal. AS he placed a purchase
on his scale he stepped on the pedal,
regulating his touch carefully to
add as much weight to a chicken as
he desired.
To catch crooked retailers in the
act of short-weighing, the bureaus
80 inspectors-four of whom are
women-pose as customers and
make test purchases.
