Swallowed Up by Waters
WASHINGTON, D. C (Special.)
A drought iwar Tal La lie In north
eastern China recently caused dis
covery of an ancient Chinese city.
As the lake waters shrank, fisher
men poling their boats through
shallows, sighted a submerged wall,
streets and houses. Chinese legend
Identifies them as the remains of
Sanyang, a commercial center which
was Inundated 'by the flood which
formed Tal Lake.
"Discovery of Sanyang adda still
another member to the league of
drowned cities," aays a bulletin from
the Washington, D. C, headquarters
of the National Geographic Society.
"Such realltlea bolster up the tra
ditions of an Atlantis or lost Lyon
nesse." cities tinier l.ukes and Sens.
"Tal Is not the first lake fabled to
contain a sunken metropolis. Celtic
tradition places a great populous city
at the bottom of Lake Klllarney. The
town aupposedly beneath Lake Neagh,
also In Ireland, haa been celebrated
In verse by Tom Moore.
"When the Aswan Dam was built In
1802, In southern Egypt, It converted
the upper Nile Into a vast lake, sub
merging several Islands completely or
partially. Though the Islet or rnnae
was flooded, tons of most of Its
buildings, pillars of the Temple of Isis
and palm treee towered above the
water like masts of wrecked ahlps.
When the dam waa built 2a feet
higher, these were engulfed com
pletely, and now emerge, encrusted
with aquatic growths, only during
summer months, when opened sluices
cause the lake waters to subside.
"About 1282, a great tempest drove
the North 8ca over the northwest
shores of the Netherlands, flooding
lowlands, and tradition adds, many
rtllagea. Combining with Lake Plevo
the watera formed a large Inland sea,
the Sulder Zee. An Immense recla
mation project, Including a 20-mlle
dyke, reclaimed In 1932 about 850,000
fertile acres. All that waa left of the
Sulder Zee was a mere Inland lake,
the IJsselmeer. Under Ita green
water, skimmed by red-sailed fishing
boats, the drowned cities are said to
still aleep. Tradition has It that
fishes awlm down the chimneys of
their ateep-roofed mediaeval houses,
and that from belfrlea of churchee;
faint ringing of chimes floata up
through the water.
Farm's mm Acts as Elevator.
"Recent actual towns under water
Include Indian villages wiped out by
the building of clama In the United
States. If the St. Lawrence waterway
should be constructed, many Can
adian hamleta would be Inundated.
"Cltlee are submerged not only by
floods, but by subsidence of the
earth's crust, often caused by vol
canic) action. An upward movement
of the crust raised part of the coast
of Alaska near Mount St, Ellas, forty
seven feet In September, 1899. A
downward movement ducked Green
land housea Into tha sea. At Puzzoll,
on the Boy of Naples, stands the
ruin of an ancient temple. Ita col
umns were erected, Bank with them
beneath the bay. where they wero
acarred by sea growths, and later
raised to their present position.
"Germany telle legends -of a city
of Vlneta lying of Its roast under
the Baltic Sea. The Bay of DoDuar

France Is said to cover the site of
a once wealthy city named Ys. Breton
peasants of Seln Island, point out at

Shot In the leg but not seriously
wounded, the Delaney woman was
treated at a hospital whero she
already had registered In anticipa

cheek waa gnshed by a slug from
the submachine gun.
Karpls and Campbell arrived from
Florida only Saturday, police said.
The women, however, had come by
train Friday. Federal agenta took the
two to Philadelphia.
Karpls had brazenly retained the
services of Dr. Carl SUrrnn, a police
surgeon, for the maternity case.
"We've got plenty of dough and
i want the best for the Utile
girl," the physician quoted him as
saying.
Karpls was advanced to the first
position on the public enemy list
after more notorious criminals had
been reduced to gun notches by the
federal agents. He waa given the
ranking largely because his finger
prints were found on an oil can
dumped from the automobile In
which kidnapers carried off Edward

are a guide to value
Experts can roughly estimate the value of a product by
looking at it. More accurately, by handling and. examining it.
Its appearance, its texture, the "feel" and the balance of it all
mean something to their trained eyes and fingers. "
But no one person can be an expert ou steel, brass, wood,
leather, foodstuffs, fabrics, and all of the materials that make
up a list of personal purchases. And even experts are fooled,
sometimes, by concealed flaws and imperfections.
There is a surer index of value than the senses of sight and
touch . . . knowledge of the maker's name and for what it stands,
and the knowledge that the finn that makes the sale is thor
oughly honest and reliable. Here is the most certain method,
except that of actual use, for judging the value of any manu
factured goods. Here is the only guarantee against careless
workmanship, or the use of shoddy materials.
This is one important reason why it pays to read advertise
ments and to buy advertised goods. The product that is adver
iscd is worthy of your confidence.
Merchandise must be good or it could not be consistently
advertised. Buy advertised goods.
