Labyrinth Constructed Some 3,500
Years Ago Was a Structure
of Colossal Size.
King Minos, with his labyrinth on
the Island of Crete, is generally sup­
posed to have been the originator of
tbe maze idea; but Egypt has a laby­
rinth, too, and Egypt manages to hold
tbe record for antiquity In almost ev-
1 erythfng, labyrinths included.
This Egyptian labyrinth Is 3.500
i years old. It Is merely a chaotic mass
of rocks piled up in the desert a few
miles out of Medlnet. The outlines of
the walls merge dimly here and there
from the ruins, and from these out­
lines, and the carvings on the stones,
Egyptologists deduce that the laby­
rinth was built by a certain King
Labarys. who was more popularly
known as Amenemhat III.
The structure was 500 by 600 feet.
I
It contained 3,000 rooms, half above
ground, half below.
Remember that
tbe largest hotel In our present day
world boasts about that number of
rooms on a dozen floors and covers a
city square, and some idea of the size 1
of the two-story labyrinth can be
gained.
Nobody has figured out yet why King
Amenemhat built this enormous pal­
ace or tomb. In the lower story, his­
tory says, the sacred crocodiles and
kings were buried, while the upper
floor was, a few centuries after King i
Amenemhat’s time, used as a seat of
government.
The labyrinth was a wonderful
place, one of the most wonderful in
Egypt, If our ideas of it are correct
and its greatness was its downfall.
The citizens of a near-by town, who
worshiped the ichneumon, resented
the sacred crocodiles of the labyrinth.
And so they made an attack upon one
of King Amenemhat’s successors and
reduced the largest structure in Egypt
to a ruin.

Dalmatia, elongated so that it is
nowhere more than 35 miles wide, tap­
ering down to but a mile at Cattaro,
has been swept by continuous racial
tempests for the last eight centuries.
Croats and Serbians constitute the
Slavic element in Dalmatia, speaking
the same language, but employing two
alphabets. The Serbs use the Russian,
and the Croats the Latin letters and
alphabet.
The Latin influence Is more prev-
alent In the citles, the story of Dal-
inatia being the reason therefor. In
the middle ages the Dalmatians were |
a people without the consciousness of
a country. During the Slav influx into 1
Illyria the Invaders encountered little
opposition, except in the seaport towns.
The Latin element In the cities resist­ i
ed the migration and thus engendered i
the strife for supremacy which per­
sists to this day.
Much of the early Dalmatian rivalry
was economic, the tradesmen and
farmers naturally wishing to exchange
their goods with the Hungarians. The
maritime cities preferred to do busi­
ness with Venice, which controlled the
Adriatic.

“GOD BLESS Y OU'S" MEANING
Expression of Solicitude That
Be Traced Back to the De­
cline of Athena.
The Greeks and Romans had their
“Long life to yon!” Gesundlieit I 1»
now verboten. But we still say
"Sante" and “God bless you!” after
a sneeze.
This expression of solicitude can be
traced back to the decline of Athens.
One of the terrible devastating
plagues which darken the pages of
European history was raging In the
famous city. The flower of Greece. ,
her foremost writers and artists, the
founders of much of our modern cul- |
ture. were ruthlessly cut down. The '
dead piled high, and daily Athenian ,
courage was taxed to the fullest. But
to every home where lay a victim, the
elixir of hope, the rainbow of prom­
ise. was the sneeze, for it indicated
to the watchers that the danger was
passed, that the patient would recover.
A few centuries later another epi
detnic assailed Europe, but this time
the sneeze, being a symptom of the
malady, was a bad omen.
In this age of witches, goblins, med­
icine men and leeches superstition I
flourished. Some of the most intel- ,
lectual minds of the time accredited |
charms and soothsayers. It was there- ,
fore nothing extraordinary for the I
pope to decree the exclamation "God
bless youby anyone who heard a
sneeze. This was supposed to com- I
hat its evil powers and prevent the |
spread of the disease.
And “God
bless you!” with its kindly human in- I
terest has come down through the
ages.

“Okapi” Astonished Explorer*, and
Only a Few Specimens Have
Ever Been Obtained.
Some time before 1890. Stanley, the
explorer, had word from the pigmy
negroes of a new beast In the impene­
trable depths of the virgin forest
which borders the Semliki river in the
Relgian Congo. The Wambatti natives
described It as a species of donkey
and called It “Atti.” From their fur­
ther description, it seemed to he. a
hoofed animal of considerable size,
which lived upon leaves. In 1899 Sir
Harry Johnston himself saw the pig­
mies. who fully confirmed wliat Stan­
ley had already told him. but added
that tbe strange beast was striped like
a zebra.
In 1901 a Swedish officer. M. Karl
Erikson, obtained a complete skin and
two skulls, which he sent to Sir Harry
Johnston, who then belitAed the beast
to be of the giraffe tribe, previously
found in a fossil state in Greece. It
was, however, proved conclusively that
although of the giraffe family it was
not the animal of ancient Greece, but
a new beastj altogether. It was su!>-
sequently given the name of “okapi.”
No more than a dozen specimens of
this wonderful beast have been se­
cured.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT—Referred to the people by th*
Leg-siai ive Assembly.
LIMITATION OF FOUR PER CENT STATE INDEBTEDNESS
FOR PERMANENT ROADS.— Purp'iso: To amend Section 7 of
An.» le XI of the Constitution of the State of Oregon bo as to permit the
creation uf debtsand liabilities including previous debts ana liabilities
for the purpose of building and maintaining permanent roads to th»
amount of four per cent of the assessed valuation of all the property
in the State of Oregon, instead of two per cent as now provided by law.
NO PROPERTY TAX—NO DIRECT TAX
NO INCREASE IN AUTO LICENSE FEES
NO INCREASE OF GASOLINE TAX
Keep these three facts in mind. The present auto license fees and
gasoline tax will pay both the principal and interest on all the bonds
under this amendment, and will yield an annual surplus besides for other
state highway work. No additional taxation of any kind.
FEDERAL FUNDS MUST BE MATCHED
Oregon must have sufficient Highway Funds to match Federal apportion­
ments or Oregon cannot get the benefit of Federal money for Oregon Roads.
Increasing this constitutional limit is a necessity. Unless limit is increased
either state roads cannot be completed for many, many years, or must be finished
by direct property taxation. This measure averts direct property tax for state
highways and makes early completion possible. Let’s get the roads built now.
Income from Present Sources Sufficient to Pay Principal and Interest.
The (act that revenues from auto license fees and gasoline tax, without Increase of present rate*,
will bo ample to pay both principal and interest on the»> bonds, is clearly set forth by official iirnr.e
in the State Pamphlet, mailed to every registered vot. .-. Refer to State Pamphlet for verification.
Examine the table carefully. It i roves that no property tax is required and th it present rat*, for
aut ■ license fees and k . ib tax will redeem princr al ana interest and yield surplus besides.
