I STOCKHOLM— The discovery
of 250 gold ornaments that were
ancient heirlooms even In the
time of Homer, the opening of a
'Greek tomb that had not been
^disturbed for more than 3,000
years, and the discovery that the
so-called saddle roof was not un
known in the architecture of that
early day, are some of the impor
tant results, just reported here,
of the Swedish Archaeological
Expedition, headed by Crown
Prince Gustaf Adolf, which i* ex
cavating the ancient city of Asine,
Greece.
The latest discovery of the
Swedish experts came somewhat
as n surprise when, after having
explored a tomb as big as a house
and finding nothing of unusual
interest, they turned to a tomb
lesji than five feet wide. This
proved to be a treasure trove,
dnting about 1150 B. C.,‘ in the
Mycenaean, or pre-Hellenic per
iod.
It contained numerous earthen
ware vases of rare design and
decoration, eight beautiful bronze
urns and other vessels, of which
one was 20 inches high. One of
the smaller bronze urns contained
four necklaces of gold and lirides
cent glass beads, and curiously
enough the strings were suffi
ciently well preserved to show the
arrangement of the beads, so that
the necklaces' can now be restored
to their exalt appearance 3,000
years ago. The necklaces contain
ed 660 beads and other ornaments,
of which 250 were of gold.
Another U. S. Oil

Not A Scandal
BY HARRY B. HUNT
WASHINGTON,—Oil is ached

GENERAL IUID
CONTINUES RULING
STRIA FDR FRANCE
BEIRUT, SyrU.—The recent re
turn. of General Weygand, the
French high commissioner for
Syria, ha3 had at least the effect
of silencing the persistent rumors
that he was not returning to his
lost after going to France on
leave.
Reports that he would resign
immediately he reached Paris
were set afloat before General
Wfeygand turned his back to Syria.
It was even asserted that on
reaching Paris he informed Poin
care that he would not return to
Syria except at the head of sev
eral divisions of troopg with which
to put down the incursions of
Turkish bandits to the north, and
| maintain order within Syria
proper.
Although hsi plans a
known, it is safe to assume that
General Weygand will make no
drastic changes in the French ad
ministration. The French system
of governing Syria has been, and
will probably continue, one of
conferring make-believe independ
ence on the governed. The French
I have set *p a native government
with titles of independence for
high officials. * There is, for in
stance, a native “President of the
Syrian Confederation” and a gov
ernor of Damascus. Actually,
these officials are without pwoer,
all the authority being letf in the
hands of the French. The “Pres
ident of the Syrian Confederation”
may not sign an administrative
order of any kind without approv
al, of the French high commis
sioner.

BRUNSWICK, Germany—The
quarter tone piano Is an estab.
Ushed fact. The Inventor has
personally demonstrated It to
large number of musical critics
who came to Brunswick from al
over Germany.
At the present etate of cultivA'
tlon of the human ear, however
the critics believe It won't do tc
mix too many quarter tones with
the half and whole notes to which
th ear la accustomed. Their
present &dvlc e to composers Is to
reserve the quarter notes foi
special passage* In which melan
choly strains ar to be given ex

One techincal difficulty of the In.
vention I* that of keeping so min
utely adjusted an apparatus In
tune. Every player of the piano
knows that when an ordinary pi
has been treated to a numbet
of fortissimos ,the Instrument i
needs tuning. If this be true of
whole^nd-half ton* pianos* the
critics ask, what will happen to an
Instrument adjusted on quartet
tonea? And whers can piano tun
ers be found who can distinguish

of a note?

Dear George:
I notice from the dally papers

odds th e handsomest and most at.
tractive, bs well as the most useful
building on the eampu*.- Whe*
they have done, the Alumni ol
Mercer can and,should do.
As indicated above. If I can co
operate with you in any way, I
shall;Ire pleased-to do go.
In the meantime, with my Inal

LONDON.—In the central hall
of the Law Courts there are stair
cases that wind round large pil
lars leading to corridors and gal
leries in which are various court
rooms. Few people climbing
them are aware that the huge
pillars also contain specially built
secret stairways for bringing
down people who make them
selves objectionable in court. They
have been used on various occas
ions.
Once when a man flourished a
revolver in court reinforcements
were hurried up by the spiral
stairway and the man brought
down in the «ame way. On other
occasions disturbers who chained
themselves to the gallery have
been brought down quietly by the
tecret way.

URGED UPON LEAGUE
AS FRAUD PREVENTER
GENEVA—International experts
assigned to study draft articles for
a convention on unfair competition
in business have forwprded a set of
pri^lples to the economic commit,
tee of the League of Nations. These
recommend among other things
that states which are'members of
the Union for the Protection of In
dustrial Property should bq asked
to assure legal redrpss, Including
penal remedies to nationals of oth-
have * r contraet luB countrls In case of
fraudulent use of trademarks.
The experts hold that suitable
penal measures should be framed tc
prevent the fraudulent or mis
taking us* of trade designations
other than trademarks, such ar
names, styles of firms; headings
of printed matter, emblems, etc.
They believe that such measures
should apply not only to the repro.
ductlon of designations or pictorial
representations, or both, but also
to colorable Imitations of the same
ns well h« to false indications of
origin or of Identity of the pro
ducer. manufacturer or merchant
whenever such practices- might
cause cqnfuaion aa to the origin of
the gdoda In question.
