"The hotel, or the humble inn which was Its forerunner, was not possible on til some standardized and compact ssediuiu of , exchange was available. Therefore it la not surprising that bis. torlans generally agree that the first inns, where board and lodging might be had for payment of regular fee*, were established in Lydia. "Before that time caravanserai wert known. But they were evidences of eastern hospitality, set up at points where constant applications for entailment grew burdensome, and were maintained as a sort of co-operative guest room, or . modern municipal lodging house. "Now It followed further that when a man might be assured convenient abode when he traveled, and he could close a business 'deal' with a pocket ful of gold rather than a herd of cattle, that the trading radius of the ancient world suddenly expanded. Men began to travel for pleasure as well as for business, in fact the Qreeks already had ventured forth for historts aad far discovery.' T%as it woud seem that not only the trade representative bat the tourist and the geographer owe Croesus considerable gratitude. "The modern man ban hardly apprehend, without an effort of his Imagination, how great a boon It was to the ancients of the Sixth century B. fl merely to visit another city. Important events were taking place. It was the time of Buddha and Confucius, of Solon and Cyrus, as well as Croesus, yet any high school boy of today can know more about what was going on In the world then than any one living at that time possibly could have known.

And some of what we did know, it now transpires, was; wrong.

"Lydla's wealth is thought to hare been due to various minerals and principally to her trade. Her capital, Sardis, was set on a hill whose ruins even now betoken an Imposing dignity.

The parrot was sought until ifcfter dark by Theodore Finsted, son of it* owner, and neeriy nii the members of his school class, without avail, though young PlnSted reported ha <bftd heard the bird squawking. < Shrieks of Anguish. ri* Patrolman Burke on a motorcycle cruising through dense timber in search for the band said to be snaring birds, was attracted by shrieks of apparent anguish about 100 feet from the path he was traversing. He shouted several times in hope that an answering voice would give him the location of the trouble, but received no response and was about to resume his way when there proceeded from the woods a volley of oaths, intermingled with screams such as might have been uttered by a woman in distress. The oaths, Burke said, were delivered In a hoarse voice--apparently that of a man enraged. Plunging into the undergrowth with drawn revolver, Burke made his way In the direction of the sounds, calling at Intervals, but again finding no re-i sponse, until when in the densest part" of the thicket he was startled by u aeries of raucous screams coming from directly overhead. * "Police! Police! There's bell to pay *--hell to pay--hell, hell!" howled the voice from a heavily foliaged oak.

Mrs. Flnsted's parrot was flapping Itsi wings as it cursed. In a vain effort to break away from a limed limb upon which its feet were firmly glued. When the parrot was returned to Mrs. Flnsted with a suggestion that an effort be made to Improve Its morals, she said the bird was formerly owned by a waterfront saloonkeeper at Mariner's Harbor, 8.

Washington.--"Only 80 per cent of the Wood in a forest now gets Idto the form of seasoned, enplaned lumber. Of this an additional 10 to 25 per cent Is lost In the process of manufacture. In extreme cases as little as three per cent of the wood in the forest may reach the finished product." This statement Is made In a booklet £ Just issued by the Department of Agriculture, entitled Forest Products Laboratory, describing the work and aims of the experimental laboratory maintained by the forest service, in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin, at Madison. .Wis. The booklet outlines how, through Investigation and experiment, the laboratory Is devising and broadcasting practical commercial methods by which this enormous waste of the country's timber supply can be reduced. By reducing this waste, it Is pointed out, the life of our present forests will be prolonged and the problem of growing new forests made simpler, because by preventing the waste of timber less timber will have to be grown. Among the varioup methods studied at the laboratory for decreasing waste of forest products is the treatment of woods with preservatives resistln.. decay. Through such treatment an annual saving of one and one-half billion board feet is estimated to be possible in the case of railroad ties alone, and the preservation of other classes of timber would, sn the aggregate, greatly relieve the drain on our forests. The forest products laboratory Is a government institution; Us advice and •otteattoui are to be had fer the asking. It presents, sccordlng to the booklet, an opportunity for many manufacturers, wood users, and timber growers to supplement the Information obtained by experience and hare knocks with technical data through scientific research.

There was a mystery there that simply stumped him. No fire went through the closet, no electric wires and there were no matches for mice to gnaw. Chief of Police Coombs wss equally nonplussed. The two officials took counsel together and reached the decision that the Incident was hardly worth making a bother about. 80 there It is likely to end.
