FARMERS LABOR ON BECAUSE
THEY CANT AFFORD TO QUIT
Confusion In the World of Agriculture
Convicts Us of the Worst Sert of

"1171 1 KAT took Its sensational drop below

"students of the economic situation" i Imps
who wouldn't knew n threshing m.Tdiine

It en n country read cheered In print In In
dustrietislv they lectured the farmer en tie
f.I! of trjlng, through farm b'ecs nnd
Ii Islatum, te keep grain prices nt an thing
like n standard level.
The farmer", en their pnrt, must have
rend these discourses with mingled feelings
of amusement and Fnvnge scorn. Ter most
of them bad just een their margins of
pros-i., the profits tetallj eliminated, to
gether with something of the original in
vesttaitit necessary te bring the wheat crop
from the ground. It ! safe te i-ny that
faili bushel of harvested wheat i'iit the
small giewer a dollar at least. Tarm labor
!s still costly. Agricultural machinery is
far from normalcy In price. The drop in
whent, applauded in the metropolitan pn s.
ni'iint that the small farmer and his family
h'ld labored all through the spring nnd
.'i.mer, in the grain tie'ds nf Pennsylvania
aril New- Jersey, for nothing.
Inquiry en the farms of Delnwnre CYuintv
and Murllngten County indliiites thnt wheat
gi .wing .s lenilng te be rcgnnlrd by farmers
in general net en'j as n gamble but as a
losing game.

AT MANHEIM
IT IS something mere than merely n series

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
The Gentle Art of Conversation
Net Wholly Forgotten Even
In These Busy Daya
la
Hy SARAH O. LOWRIE
I WAS entertained net long age by the dls
tnnyed anticipation of nn nwful tlm en
the part of some newly weds who were asked
te ii dinner where there was te be neither
bridge nor ''jazz,"
".lust conversatien: think of it I the
feminine ' occupant of the departing enr
walled hack nt us ns their rendstcr passed
the uninvited members of the fntnily serenely
nwnltlng our summons te n fnmlly meal.
".lust conversation" and feed were what
these two would have had at home with
no premonitions of heieddm te spoil the com
bination. Hut nt home one could fall Inte ft
contemplative silence without being con
spicuous, one might even grew sleepy with
impunitx before n pleasant fire In nn easy
chair, and then xvnkc te talk, or wnke te
rend, or wnke te tnke n turn In the garden
under the stnrs, or go te bed scarcely waking
without nny self-consciousness about seem
ing festive.
Verv few persons there nre who enjoy
being 'oiiscleusly anything, lenst of nil eon
scion -1.x geed tnlkers. We are net trained
te de it with n light touch. We hnve net
the art of sp-irklliiR te order most of us.
I have heard mere nmuslng conversation
from n let of youngsters bursting with geed
spirits nnd kc.vcd up by some common ex
perience of boredom or nbsurdlty or pomp pemp pomp
eusness than I hnve from noted talkers, hard
at It keeping up their reputations.
I DO net think thnt because one writes
wittily one tnlks cleverly, nor Is n witty
tnlker one te he alvvnys counted en te make
n thing go. Yeu can cress-current a witty
talker In no time by nn innocent Inndxert
nnce Mint nn ordinary guest would net
notice. Celebrities turn hnlky en one's
hands, tee, from causes that one can never
forestall.
An altercniieii with tnxlmnn en nrrlvlng,
the wieng greeting from n fellow guest, u
rival who is detested yet feared, n table
neighbor xvhe is tee admiring or net ad
miring enough, tee much general chntter for
a real conversation, the wrong topics eh, a
de7cn irritants that cannot be counteracted.
Then there is tlie "talk hog," who won't
give up the center of the conversational read
for nn.v one cle te cut In or pass le ether
subjects, Theie Is the host who will tell a
fiiiinv story en his wife thnt no one wants
te bother wltli, or the professorial guest who
will instruct, or tlie truculent senior who
will differ for the sake of differing, or the
moody one who lets n subject vxeli started
drop He does It generally vxith a smile like
n grimace and xvith n bend of the head meant
te leek defeiential and at the same time
he'el one's attention while the smllcr "gets
from under" and back te his fish course.
There Is also the confused hostess who never
attempts te l lake any order out of the chaos
of forced lete-a-letes all down the table.
And theie is, lastly, the dctcrmlmd hostess
witu ix piegrnm who treats the guests as
though the.v were little kindeigartners and
I rodnees mid or comical objects te catch and
xva.vlu attention.
TIID truth of the- matter Is, even geed
tnlkers have te be stimulated te talk
well, but the best stimulant Is net a cock
tail or even the best of light xxine.s or
black miTec; It is n verv geed dinner, net
tee i.iueh or tee long, and a small nnd sym
pathetic gteup of fellow guests easily
ban. Ib'd bv ihe managers of the party the
Hest and hostess.
Of th" tvpes et talkers thnt de best for
little diiinns, the kind one would c 11 Inti
mate talkers, 1 think from my small experi
ence that traxeleis nre better than teaclu r'-,
bee .iii-i' thev have gene about mere, and
that politicians and journal. sts are better
than trnvi'hrs because what they have te say
up) call- te tie majority; and as between
journalists and ether writers, novelists and
essixists aie iniiiii varied exen than news
pain i men. bci.iuse they have an interest in
w li.it has hi en as well as what Is being done.
E
ASII.Y the bet talker that I hnve ever
heald in a -imill gteup is Miss Agnes
Ueppller, when she fpels some one Werthv
of her best, that Is. She has nn "essev wit"
In her talk. Thu ciltlc is never lest for
long.

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadclphians en Subjects They

DR. LEICESTER B. HOLLAND
On Archeoleglcal Excavations at Colo
phon TIID excavations new going en at Colo
phon pieinlsp te reveal some things ex
ceedingly unique In tlie civill7atlen of that
once nent eltv. and some of these hnve been
nlreadv brought te light, sax s Pr Leicester 15.
Helland, of tills citj. architect of the Amer
ican Archeoleglcal Dxpedillen te Colophon.
"In antique times." said Dr. Helland,
"thnt is from the fifth centurv, the richest
treasures of ("recce were net In (Iri'cce
proper. Hut Asia Miner was particulaily
lich In antiquities, ami maiiv excavations
mnde there In the Prencli and the (lei mans
have ipvenled some extraerdiinr.v things
about that day and its e ivilizatien. The ex ex
cavatiens made nt SiirdN. the capital of
ancient Lvdin, weic made b.v an cNpeditien
from Princeton.
"Hut excavations in Asia Miner Involved
considerable hard wink and much diplo
macy, ns the teulleiy, wlihh bade fair te
be the most fruitful, was in the dominions
of the Tuikish Dmpire. The Tin If were
difficult te deal with and Ibex had no sxm
pnthv with tlie qui'st ler an heoleglcal
knowledge whiih only excavations can give.
The Colophon Epeditleu
"Fer these reasons, when the (lieel.s came
Inte possession of thnt tenileix. evei one
interested ill the matter looked le the coast
of Asia Miner as being the most piemising
field and the main elllllcultx would be elimi
nated, as the decks haxe alwaxs facilitated
exeavntlens. or nt lenst been willing that
they should be made.
"Harvard accordingly raised the money
for all expedition te be cenducleil bx the
Aincilenn Si hoel at Athens, a icsearch in
stitution for classirnl graduate siudenis.
The elireder of the school, Miss C.eldmaii,
looked ever the ceunlr.x and selecteil three
sites, of which, it was decided, that that of
Colophon was the most premising.
"Colophon Is n citv which dates bin I; te
the times of ancient Tiev. Net n grcit
deal is definitely known of its hlsterv . but
It was once the capital of ancient Lvdia. and
lifter that was capluied by the Persians.
After the defeat of the Persians It became
an independent citv and wns a member of
the Ionian Lmgue of Pree Cities It xxas
a flourishing city in Ihe time of Alexander
the ("rent, and ceased te exist about 'KID
11 C. The territer.x In which It lies win
given' bv Alexander te one of his generals,
Lvsytnacbus, who decided te make Dphesin
the 'great city eif the teglen. and simply
took nil the people of Colophon ns well as
several ether lnrge settlements nnd moved
them nil te Dpliesus
Value of Colophon Di aval Inns
"The excavations thus far made at Colo
phon have largclv verified these historical as
portions. Antiquities haxe been found which
date bm Is le the time usiiallx given as the
dnte of tlie fall of Tiex, and they include
some things never before found iu Asia
Miner.
"The excavations give clear evident e thnt
Colophon was n nourishing ciix in the fourth
century M. C . nnd that it came te a sud
den btep, thus bearing out what has been
gixen as its hlsterv. This was one of ihe
chief reasons for the selection of Colophon
ns n possible site for excavation.
"Where a citv hns I'entiiiued in existence
for centuries, the later cvili7aten, ns n
inntter of course, Is bound te eliminate, te
n certain degree at least, the elder civili.a civili.a
tien, and the two lire se mixed as te render
the elder things considerably less vniiie te
tlie student of classical times. Mut here wns
n cit.v which had suddenly ceased te exist.
There had been no IntPr civilbntlen laid
en top of the elder, and for this lenseii
Colophon lepicseiits perhaps mere ncciirateiy
than nn ether known place the state of
civilization In tlie feiinli lenlur), the llme
when It xxas abandoned iu favor of the larger
Dpliesus. Iliere Is no mixture there, and
the city, ns It is being uncovered, la today
just as it wns when abiiiiduned.

HOTLY CONTESTED, EH WHAT?
"One of the most interesting developments
which the e.xc.ix-ntiens 1ms shexvn Is thnt
the iiti7.(iis of Colophon clearly understood
some of the fundamental elements of cit.v
planning, nnd that they carried It out very
much as some of our larger cities nre doing
today. Tlie evidence en this point Is very
clcir.
"Tlie terrace where our digging is being
conducted wns apparently covered ever with
houses for the greater part of Its length, and
then It is evident that the citlens decided
te make a large open space, evidently for
the marketplace, and te (lank it with lnrge
buildings at right nngles. There is also in
disniitnble evidence thnt streets, which hnd
bee n originally crooked, were made stralglit.
"The public buildings which have been
discovered hnd been built upon the site of
private houses, which were condemned for
this purpose, nnd the new civic structure
built en top of the houses which were tern
down., Tl.e remulns nf the foundations of
what weic unquestionably private houses are
still standing under these of the civic build
ings. Much Still Uncovered
"The exeavntlens will be continued next
venr, and theie will probably he three or
four Inter cnmpalgns before nil the treas
ures of nntiqtiltv of Colophon will he un
ciypied. Prebablv tin' xvhele nren of the
city will never he completely cxcnvnfsd.
"The private houses of the Colophon
period were one-story high, but every house
hnd one second-story room, with n stair
wax lending te it Just vvlint the purpesc
was of this single room en the second fleer
has net jet been shown. 1'sunlly the houses
had six or eight rooms en the first fleer.
The excavations of n Inter period, such ns
these of Pompeii and Delus, show two-story
houses generally In use.
Street Drains Were Known
"The Colophon houses nil had well-made
tile reefs, nnd the streets bad equally well
lnacle tile diliins. A bathing establishment,
xvhich is net jet nil dug out, shows n num
ber eif terra cettn bathtubs. As the exca exca
xatlen of this establishment Is net com
pleted, it is impossible te say new boxy inrgc
It will prove te be or what it will contain
In addition te the bathtubs.
"Theie nie very few bathing establish
ments this old which have been excavnled
thus far, nnd this fenture nf the Colophon
cxi ivntlens may prove te be of even mere
importance when tlie entire establishment
is evauitrel.
"I'ieiii this nnd ether fentures which hnve
been 1'M'iixaled, there Is excellent leisen te
believe that the In'inhltnntH of Colophon lived
in considerable! luxury."
