Babcock, Manager of tours and cruises for the American Express Company travel department, New York, at the McGill Chemical Build- ing here. "Excavate, restoro and preserve" has been the motto of the Roman authorities in all alterations that the growth of the city has forced upon them, Dr. Babcock said. This plan has forced them to work under handi- caps, bat hag resulted in the restora- tion, fragmentary, but still beautiful, «f many parts of ancient Rome. Great Wall One example cited by the speaker to illugtrate thy conflict betwen mod- ern convenience and ancient beauty was the great wall of ancient Rome. This magnificent structure is a splen- did relic of antiquity, but in terms of modern city planning it was a nuis- ance to traffic. The problem has now been partially solved, said the gpeak- er, by the cutting of many new gates in the old wall; what inconvenience remains must continue, a sacrifice for the preservation of the ancient fortl- ficotion. : JRSTp SEY Femous Indian Chiefs Ottawa--In Alberta, the names of: Crowfoot village, Chiniki lake, .and Nelkasto railway station are trl butes to the worth of Indian chiefs who, on the ceming of the white man, ceded their title to vast areas and forscoXx tribal warfare, Crowlost, head chief of the Black fect, was a keen business man who kext his tribe at peace with the 05, while Mekasto, or Red Crow, chief of tha Southern Bloods, w~3 1a72] throughout the 1885 re- pyar way iti was a noted Stony Indian. : !

There is plenty of evidence of drugs, You hear a sound of coughing on a bal cony above. There seems to be a chorus of galloping consumptives up there, and the coughs sound even above the din of the coppersmith's bazaar. The coughers are smoking churrus. One of the vilest and most seductive drugs of Central Asia, its subtle effects and queer mental sensa- tions grip the addict until he becomes its slave. In body and mind the smoker goes to pieces. He coughs in- paradise for a little while, but when the temporary effects pass off his flimsy paradise is turned into a hell on earth. Bhang is the drug of murder, and murder lies deep in the heart of Pesh- awar. Made of churrus, milk, sugar and water, the drink brings out all the murder that lles in the ferocious na- ture of the Pathan. Under its in- fluence he goes wild, and may murder anyone, a Murder also goes hand in hand with religion in this evil city. The Pathan is a fanatical Mohammedan, and to go ghazi 1s a familiar term among Bri- tishers of the Northwest Frontier.
