" Digging in the earth for relics of people who lived three or four thou sand years ago is one of the pastimes of Gustaf Adolf, crown prince of Sweden. He Is in personal charge of the Swedish expedition which Is ex cavating a buried town in Greece, which was destroyed three thousand years ago. This is .the town of Asine on the Greek Peleponnesus, and its layers of earth, washed into the valley by the centuries, contain treasures and objects of art or common use which show that at least six civilizations have there nourished and fallen. The expedition of the crown prince of Sweden spends two or three months at a time digging, and then devotes several months to classifying and studying the finds. The latest digging period is just finished, and the treas ures uncovered Include a funeral urn at least four thousand years old, and SAILOR VOTED BRITAIN'S BRAVEST Royal Humane So iety Awards An nual Gold Medal to Midshipman , in the Navy.

The unique and precious urn stands about 16 inches high, Is decorated in white and red, has four handles, and has evidently been fashioned without the use of a potter wheel. It con tained the skeleton of an Infant and dates back to the time when It was customary for Greek families to pre serve their dead within the home. The uost valuable finds came from a grave some twenty feet long, which had apparently never before been opened. Here, besides five skeletons, were discovered about a hundred vases and various styles of ornaments of gold, silver and bronze. The burials had taken place in the Mycenaean age, which was at its height about 1400 B. C. The art work which is peculiar to that period is the cutting of certain rare Intaglio gems and the crown prince of Sweden was fortunate in dis covering four such gems in perfect condition. They contain very skillful drawings of Hons, deer, goats and men. Si- the Ill-fated British cruiser lialeigh met with disaster on the coast of Labrador last August.

Missy burst In upon her elders, her eyes saucer-wide, crying: "Yonder comes a whole passel o' folks two cyar-loads an' a dog outside ! Whut'U you do about feedln' 'em, Tempe? Stove won't cook a thing till we get the new pipe. An' the ham ain't nothln' but scraps." "We've got the fireplace," Tempe, the eldest girl, answered, half rising. "Still, I do suppose these people, like all the rest so far, want directions, not dinner." "I'll run down and see," Missy "flung over her shoulder, darting away, to return In three minutes saying breath lessly: "No such luck, Tempe. Eats I Lots of 'em, tliey say. An' 'leven of 'em, not countln' the dog. Don't you hate to send 'em on empty?" "So badly I shan't do It," Tempe said valiantly. "Go ask 'em to sit on the porch while they're waltln'. Cars must be awful this hot day." "But not as awful as cookln over a redhot fire," Missy discouraged. "I told that gang I didn't know about takln' 'em In we were particular, if we did put out a sign." "They must be hungry to wait after that," Tempe sighed, but with no faltering In eye or voice. This was her affair. She had determined on a last desperate effort to prop the fall lng Walton fortunes. If only they could get through till the crap came In tills year It promised so much. But, what with boll weevil and futures, cot ton was poor security for cold cash. And cold cash alone could answer In this emergency cash to buy meat and molasses for the croppers, grain for the work stock, most of all dusty poi son for the ravaging plague. Ned, the only brother, had given up the fight at New Year, saying: "You girls shan't quite starve. I know where I can make wages of sorts.' But they were low wages hardly more than enough for his own impera tive needs. Therefore Tempe had planted a garden, set many eggs and had now a fine lot of broilers just coming to hand. So In fear and trem bling she had marked upon a bit of board "Roadside Inn" and nailed It to the big oak at the turn before the gate. But so far it had not drawn a pay ing caller. Tempe set her teeth, stirred the seed fire vigorously, piled kindling and logs over It and soon had a roaring blaze In the big-throated chimney. She had not stayed to watch it. Instead she was plucking chick ens. It had made her almost faint to behead the pretty tame creatures, but she did It as her soldier grandfather had gone into battle. Missy was meantime setting the table the one housewifely task she loved. Elinor, the next oldest, got out all manner of preserves, jellies and relishes, not even sparing the citron cut In grape leaves. And black Susan, still faithful in spite of her own pov erty, seeing the cars at halt, bustled up from her cabin and got busy mak ing such biscuit and spoon bread as only she could turn out. "Tempe, you lemnie hab dat shovel," she said when there were coals for baking. "Lordyl Hot as 'tis I loves de feel of dis yere Ton handle. Puts me in mine ob de good times 'fore dere wus stoves, and stingy cookin'. Ole Marse, and Ole Miss, dey sho' did set er line table for hongry folks." "No ! I must do the cooking it's my job and your poor lame back sha'n't get worse because I'm a shirker," Tempe protested, but Susan flung her aside. There were luckily some beaten biscuit left over from yesterday the scrap-ham, minced and mixed with fine-cut sour pickle, turned them, split and buttered, in a fair semblance of canapes. Altogether, It was a tempt ing table to which the travelers sat down. Susan Insisted she must wait on It. "Reckon I'm gwine let my white chilluns wait on maybe po' white trash," she sniffed. "We'll be white trash In a little, I'm afraid," Tempe sighed. . Susan was the only sharer of her anxieties. And Susan turned upon her a face of wrath, saying, "Yer can't neber be dnt, 'cause po' white trash Is horned des de same as quality folks. Now you run put on dat blue lawn I washed fer you last week, and set head er de table, same like dis wus company. Dat limb o' Satan, Missy, kin set on de po'ch and take dar money. She's got Impedence 'nough for anything nntler de sky." ; Susan had her way, albeit Minor Insisted upon helping to pass things, and seeing that water, milk and cider flowed at need into all glasses. The visitors, farm folk out on vacation, were almost embarrassingly civil. Be sides, their praise of what was set before them matched their appetites In violence. Only bones remained for the dog from the mountain of fried chicken but they answered, supple mented by spoon bread and chicken gravy. The dog's master, a tall, sun burned, rather good-looking young fellow, tried "sard to count In his din ner when he came to the reckoning. Missy wouldn't have It. "The Idea I Pay for dog-scraps!" she said loftily, patting the silky head laid confidingly on her knee. "Wish we had one Just like him," she said. "We will soon as we can afford It. Tempe la crazy for a thoroughbred." "My ! How I wish we all could stay an for supper and ride In the early dark InstUl o' thl hot sun," said a (tout Indy, the tail fellow's mother. "We'd love to have you It we lind our new stove-pipe," Missy said diplo matically. "But Susan and Tempe couldn't last out, to cook unother big meal In skillets and pots und ovens." Followed explanations that some how told most In what they left un spoken. The tall fellow whisked back In his car alone, fetched the local tin smith and his helper, und between them they quickly righted things. And the travelers stayed to supper, and to breukfust. Space for them was easily found In big, cool chambers, long un used. Before they left, Dixon Whit- worth, the tall fellow, had wormed out of Missy things he wanted very much to know. College-bred, he yet came of homespun stock, but was not the least ashamed of'It. Indeed, when his mother said, as they drove off In clear sunshine, "Dlx, them's the sort o' girl I want you to marry. I never in all my life et such preserves as they set before us, and we haven't got at home any better nor cleaner beds," he nod ded emphatic assent. Tempe got shortly two surprises pleasant ones. Notice from the bank that she could have all the money needed to feed her croppers and fight the boll weevil. On top of that a po lice dog puppy, completely equipped, chain, leash, blanket and collar the collar marked conceitedly: Dixon Whltworth. Missy was glad of that It saved disputing over a mime, and besides Dlx was such a nice short call Whatever Miss Tempe thought she kept to herself; but be sure Dlx lacked for nothing In the way of pet ting and food. When the caravaners stopped on their return all agreed the pup had grown like a house afire. Yet his sometime owner must have been doubtful as to how he fured else why did he come again and again to Road side Inn all through the fall? That was how Tempe explained It. Susan and Missy knew better. He stayed a week in the height of cotton picking, seeming to get great Joy from Watch ing It along with Tempe, of course. "I seel Calcium arsenate spells cotton salvation," he said before he left. "I'm going to help all I can. Tell your neighbors anybody that needs It without money to buy It can get It straight from the maker my father, you know, Is one of them." Perhaps It was only then Tempe saw a light. Anyway, she was soon wearing a beautiful solitaire kissing it now and then when nobody saw her. A little later a wedding was duly an nounced. As they struggled with the cakes for It, Susan said loftily to Missy ; "Chile, I tell you whut hadn't been fer dat chicken dinner we-all gib dem folks Mister Sheriff would be comln' ter dis plantation, not Mister Preacher," and certainly no oracle ever spoke more truly. FIRST PHOTOS HIGHLY VALUED In Many Respects There Has Been No Improvement Made on the Daguerreotype. Although the Improvements In pho tography are made so rapidly nowa days that even the professional pho tographer can hardly keep track of tliem, there are many picture makers who believe that the world will turn back to the daguerreotype for its beautiful and artistic portraits. It is more than three-quarters of a century since the scientific world was aroused by the announcement that Daguerre, a Frenchman, had discov ered a method of fixing the Image made by the camera obscura. It was a crude method then. The first picture, of a tree standing in the sun, required half an hour or more of exposure. That was the same year In which Samuel F. B. Morse went to Europe to exhibit his new electric telegraph. The two Inventors met by appointment In Paris and explained their rk to each other. Daguerre s plate was of pure silver. It was thoroughly, cleansed and pol ished. In a dark , room it was next coated with a film deposited by the vapor of Iodine, and then exposed in the camera. Still protected. from the light, it was placed over the fumes of hot niercury, which developed the Image, and It was then made perma nent with eWorld of gold. This process was soon improved, un til on bright days the sitting for a daguerreotype was reduced to ten, sometimes to five seconds. Even with this short exposure, however, the like nesses were remarkable. It Is possible to assume an artificial expression and hold it frfr the brief second before a modern camera, but to remain motion less for the long time required by a daguerreotype, it was necessary that the features should be in repose In their natural position. The daguerreotype was a positive, Impossible to retouch, it was of a soft, flesh-like tone, which even to day, In the specimens of the art pre served In collections and among fam ily relics, wins admiration. The da guerreotype gave wny to the cheaper umbrotype, which was on glass, apd required a dark background to show It off; and this, In turn, was succeed ed by the glass negative and the pa per positive proof. None of them has ever attained the delicacy or the soft ness of the daguerreotype. Have Patience. Do not be impatient with those who are not so quick as yourself. To glow to catch an Idea Is no Indication of Intellectual Inferiority. Those who are a little slow, frequently make un for It by holding tenaciously to the Idea when once they have seized It. The girl who Is slow of wit some times undergoes undeserved keen hu miliation because of the superior airs of a classmate who Is quick to ee the point and forgets Just as quickly. , S STATE NEWS TAT QOTTTT7 Eugene.
