Modern science tells you that
matter, in motion, (ruins weight.
News, also, gains as it trav
els. The Turkish newspaper, Ako
ham, describes, sympathetical
ly, results of our recent earth
quake in "Wall Street.
'Former American million
aires tire now eating bread,
cheese and cabbags," says the
editor.
Some American millionaires
would gain in health and grace
if they adopted that diet, with
out adding bootleg mixtures
to it.
Akoham's "news f r o m
America is not more inaccurate
than some of our news from
Turkey, and far less inaccurate
than the average American idea
of the Turkish people.
Much power in the Turks,
great self-respect, and a high
sense of honor.
Inscriptions found on rocks
in the valley of Ihe Amazon re
vive the belief that the sea-faring
Phoenicians from the far
end of the Mediterranean dis
covered America long before
Columbus and the earlier, I Ao!
Kricson. Aehaeiilogists think
the Phoenicians went up the
yrp.'it Amazon- with .lieir.,lships
and founded a South American
City tiXK) years ago.
Someone should write a go-'d
history of those Phoenicians
ivith their restless longing for
navigation, so unlike the other
iion-Semetic tribes. First of all
. men, they sailed out of sight of
land with only the stars, no
compass, to guide them. They
first sailed past the Rock of
Gibraltar to mine tin. with
slaves, in the Hritish Islands.
They brought wealth from
every port, by trade or piracy,
depending on the strength of
the port.
Now t-hcy are gone. Their
rivers that ran . back through
the mountain gorges arc silted
un Sijuid niles cover acres that
'were fertile. The cedars are
gone from Mount Lebanon.
Nearly 2IKM1 years - before
Columbus was born Alexander
administered the final blow to
tile greatness of Phoenicia,
which had already fallen un
der Persia's yoke.
