ANCIENT PEOPLE A MYSTERY Excavations on Sit of Askalon and Gaza May Throw Light on Philistine. A further attempt Is to be made this summer to solve the "mystery of the Philistines." Professor Oarstand, the archeolo gist, has returned to Palestine after lis visit to Kngland and has started to murk out sites for further excava tions. During the past two years the pro fessor and his assistants have been engaged in making exploration on the sites of the ancient cities of Askalon and Gaza. This season trial explorations are to e made upon a series of "tells" (ar tificial hill mounds, the debris of sue resslve cities near the two sites of Askalon and Ansa. Little Is known f the national history of the Philistines, und It Is the object of the new excava tions to get at the problem of this mysterious race. Professor Garstand considers that It would be too prolonged and expensive a business to dig through the great depth of (iraeco-Koman buildings to the deeper layers In which lie the Philistine remains of the city of Aska lon, so that the excavations will be outside the walls of the city. A good deal of pottery has been discovered nd a few weapons which may have keen used against King David. Many theories have been advanced s to who the Philistines were, and from whence they came, but It Is gen erally believed their origin was In the neighborhood of the Islund of Cyprus. Reference Is mmle to them In the pre Mosalc period, but for at least 3,000 years they have remained a mystery. MEXICANS TAKE TO "MOVIES' OREGON BREVITIES Popular American Amusement May Yet Take the Place of the San guinary Bull Fight. The movie is displacing the bull fight as the popular amusement of Mexico. "The motion picture undoubtedly holds first place In the argusement field of the Chihuahua consular dis trict," says Vice Consul Ott In a re port to the Department of Com merce. "From one small, unpretentious cir cus tent installed in Chihuahua city some ten or fifteen years ago the busi ness has grown until today there are In the consular district 15 permanently established movie houses where pic tures are exclusively shown, with a number of legitimate theaters giving occasional exhibitions. "This development occurred partly during a period of revolution, when It was no uncommon thing to have the performance Interrupted by firing on the outskirts of the city." Ott says that the upper classes de mand emotional dramas and melo dramas and the peons prefer western thrillers and slapstick comedies. American machines are used exclu sively, European makers having failed to sell a single projector.

The new re-clrculating system of drying prunes, worked out by Profes sor E. H. Wiegand of Oregon Agri cultural college, has proved success ful in tests made in the Umpqua valley this year, and if generally adopted will save the prune growers more than 1150,000 annually in Douglas county, according to County Agent Cooney, The state board of control, at a spe cial meeting approved plans for the first four buildings to be erected on the site of the Oregon employment institution for the adult blind in Tort- land at East Eighty-fifth and Glisan streets.

The road Is designed for fire protection purposes. The city council of Roseburg was too late in framing Its measures to appear on the ballot at the coming election and the condemnation of the present water and light plant and the Issuance of bonds for the purchase of a fire engine must be left for a special election If approval or rejec tion Is to be obtained from the voters, according to City Attorney Wimberly. Members of the Oregon public swv ice commission, after completing a j series of hearings in Salem, will go to Portland where they will confer with engineers with relation to a mass of exhibits and statistical evidence in troduced by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company in the telephone rate hearing. The taking of testimony In the case has been postponed until October 26. Brigadier-General George A. White, head of the Oregon national guard, has received official notification of the recent war department order an nouncing that military saluting be tween officers and enlisted men of the regular army, national guard and other elements of the national defense has been discarded except on military reservations and under limited circumstances. The Edenbower section of paving, recently laid on the Pacific highway, has been opened, eliminating a bad de tour. At present there is only about 400 feet of detour north of Roseburg. This last section will be ready to open for traffic soon. Good progress Is being made In paving the Canyonvllle section which will be completed in about 50 days. One-half of the high way is being paved at a time. In case a school district has sus pended school, the district hoard has authority, if it sees fit, to arrange for the Instruc tion of pupils residing in such district with any adjoining or other district either within or ontside the state, and the board of school directors has the right , to pay the tuition of such pupils.

The time must come when all businesses will consider the advisability of advertising in the same spirit that a manufacturer ponders over the advisability of adopting a new machine. One does not install a piece of labor saving mechanism because it suits his fancy; but because the efficiency of the business requires it. He expects a new machine to reduce his cost to oper ate perhaps to make a better product and thus aid him in meeting competition and making larger profits. Advertising is exactly similar. The man who refuses to consder it as a possible expedient simply shuts his eyes on one of the problems of his business. He might as well ignore the banks as sources of credit when he has need to borrow capital. On the other hand, the man who looks to advertising to checkmate all weaknesses and shortcomings of his business and to carry it along to victory despite these, has a childlike faith in the miraculous. Advertising will not make his product or his service any better than they are; but it will bring him the full bene fits of their merits. It will not eliminate wastefulness in his factory or his store; but it will reduce his cost to operate. It will not make illogical selling methods suc cessful; but it will assist good selling methods, and often point the way for improving them. Advertising is the most inexpensive motive power that the manufacturer or merchant can buy today. It is a form of stimulus that brings excellent returns on the investment. Independence Enterprise M i
