Fans made from peacock feathers, éar-rings or gold or silver, and ivory dice were among the articles on display. _ Trading was done at lttle shops which lined either side of ithe street, making it narrower than ev- er, The shops were more like booths than stores, The front was cpen, except, sometimes, for linen curtains which did not hide very much of what was for sale. Some of the shop-keepers were slaves placed there by masters who wanted 80 gain more and more riches. Others were so-called "'free- men," who were in business for themselves There were so many persons trying to sell things that faw made more than a bare living. A record shows that at one time there were 254 bakery shops in Rome. A scene at such a shop is pictured, A man is buying a tloar of bread. Notice what a queer ghape the bread had. (It wasn't queer to the Romans, of course-- they would have thought our loaves queer). Another picture shows a baker shoveling bread dough into an ovea, That must have bean hot work. The man wears hardly any clothing. He was doubtless a slave. " One of the cruelest things about the lives of slaves was that they were not supposed to have wives or children, A) day long they had to of family life, in secret, which often happened.)

Oswego, N.Y., Oct. 16.--Predict- ing that in the near future' toll-gates will be established at various points along the improved highways of the state, and at bridgeheads, County Superintendent of Highways E. A. Howard believes that by measures such as these, bootlegging on the highways will be broken up, 'and stolen cars and reckless drivers checked = Mr. Howard said that he had beén giving considerable thought to a system which would render the high- ways safe for tourists and travelers, and, beleves that the toll-gate prot position is the only one which is feas- ible, and which will in any way check the indiscriminate and crim- inal use of the highways. Bootleggers, once they get within the confines of the 'state, drive at chain lightning speed on well trav- eled roads at night, and by day, trust- ing 'to speed to cover so muodh terri- tory that pursuit will be distanced, and choosing routes on which no guard has been established. They run little chance from detection, and even if a convoy of bootlegging auto- mobiles and trucks is noted near the border, by the time prohibition forces may be assembled, the vehicles are lost on the maze of highways to- wards their destination. With toll gates, and a central distributing cen- tre on information, it would be com- paratively simple, Mr. Howard be- lieves, to send out a m © throughout the state and halt the progress of any car wanted. A simi- lar scheme could be followed in trac- ing automobiles and in following on the trail of reckless drivers who run away after accidents. Automobilists and tourists would, of course, strenuously object, Mr. Howard states, but after the system had been put into operation and wild and reckless driving checked by toll gates, the revenues of the state would be increased and it would be safe for pedestrians and automobilists alike, and the best interests of the public served.
