The silver is said to be exceptionally pure. The site of the discovery is known as Traprain Law. It was once a fortified area, which covers sixty acres and gives evidence of occupa tion at intervals during the first four centuries of the Christian era. It Is believed to have been at one time the site of a Celtic settlement under rule. Its latest inhabitants are thought to have been Saxon pi rates. Vessels Crushed Excavators for the Queen street museum struck a small pit which was filled to the brim with batter ed silver vessels and a few coins of the Emperors Valenh and Gratian. The vessels were crushed and dis figured indicating that they were re garded as booty and intended for the melting pot. They include flagons, chalices, platters, bowls and spoons. On them can be deciphered Chris tian symbols, such as Chi-Rho, Al pha. Omega and lesvs Christvs. Scenes portrayed in relief are main ly from Bible history. The gem of the collection is a richly decorated flask, beautifully embossed and bearing the inscrip tion. "Prymiaeoeisinpi," which has not yet been translated. Archeolo glsts have not been able to say 1 whether the vessels were spoils taken from one single church or from a number of different places. Some of the slver is gilded, some enameled, and some Inlaid with gold. Government to Sell 21,000,000 Pounds of Surplus Sugar Soon By Associated Press.

Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the association, estimates the annual feast of enemy insects costs this country $500,000.- 000. To check this annual feed the association makes these sugges tions for July: "Spray fruit trees with bordeaux lead. Spray elms for elm leaf beetles with arsenate of lead, one pound to ten gallons of water. Spray for forest tent caterpillars with arsenate of lead (same proportion). Spray tussock moth and other lead eating insects with arsenate of lead (same proportion). "If woolly aphis is found on un der side of beech tree leaves npray with whale oil soap, one pound to ten gallons of water. Use the same combination on the red spider that may be found on prostrate junipers, yew and box. The sycamore blight may be found in the shape of a white woolly mass on the under side of leaves causing them to curl and wilt. Get the bordeaux mixture in proportions of one pound to eight gallons of water. "A good way to destroy caterpil lars is to drive carpet tacks way into a long stick end. Catch your web at highest point and start turning in until you have the web then plunge into any liquid that will kill them." High Cost of Living !s Charged to War Department Quibbling Washington, July 9.—The War De partment's holding of thousands of tons of food supplies until six months after the armistice was signed be fore making any efTort to sell them to the public has been a "most im portant factor in maintaining the high cost of living." Chairman Rea vis. of the special House subcom mittee to investigate quartermaster supplies, declared after the testi mony of C. Willing Hare, of Phila delphia, director of War Department sales, before the committee. "It is amazing that with the people of the country needing t'ood and the Government needing monev the War Department should have held its huge supplies of food in . storage all this time," said Mr. Reavis. "It certainly kept up the market price of many necessaries." Mr. Hare declared the blame for the delay rested on Army officers, who have been quibbling for a long time on just how much of the sup plies would be surplus. Other important points of Mr. Hare's testimony were: Herbert Hoover, in spending SIOO,- 000,000 for foreign food relief, bought meats owned by Italy in this 1 country at higher prices than he could have obtained the surplus meats of the War Department. Mr Hoover refused to buy the War De partment food, Mr. Hare said. The War Department agreed with canners to hold off the market fully $100,000,000 worth of canned vegetables, so as to not disturb the ! market during the coming season. Peas, corn and squash were added to the Army ration to protect the canners rather than because sol diers needed these articles. % Large surplusses of food still exist overseas and at shipping ports. The value of American property and Supplies in Prance is close to $1,500 - 000,000 and for this Prance has offered $300,000,000 which has been rejected. The War Department's efforts to sell the food consisted of inserting small advertisements in two papers of each city, supplemented by a few circulars. Nearly all food supplies must be sold within three months or they will spoili The present condition of most of the foo.d is good. Horses .valued* at S2OO were sold by the War Department for SBO. Mr. Hare gave the following fig ures as the present food surplus of the War Department, which he be lieves can be marketed: Bacon, 75,000,000 pounds, ham, 580,000 pounds; baked beans, 1,- 433,633 cans, string beans, 3,550,490 cans; beets, 9,538 cans; corn, 31,- 882,780 cans; peas, 24,607,658 cans; sweet potatoes, 7 79,556 cans; pump kin. 2,625,327 cans, spinach, 234 618 cans; squash, 90,169 cans; tomatoes, 83,994,422 cans; turnips, 676,000 cans. Exports Will Shove Cost o! Living Up, Is Warning of U. S. Reserve Board Washington, July B.—The danger to home markets from overenthusi asm in promoting American export trade as well as the importance of Obtaining private capital to continue a reasonable flow of American com modities to Europe Is discussed at length in the July bulletin of the Federal Reserve Board. The situ ation outlined by the board as con fronting Aemrlcan business men and American consumers presents the four important points: First. Since the government will withdraw front the direct financing of foreign trade, private capital must be found to continue. The board, however, shows the future financing of foreign trade presents an invest ment rather than a banking prob lem, and necessary funds must come from the investment and not the banking market. Second. It is becoming more ap parent that the American consum er is vitally interested because of the reduction of commodities in the home markets, despite persistent de mand for them. Already the hoard sees a tendency toward a new ad vances in prices if American markets are stripped for Europe. Third. America's trade with Eu rope at pre*ent is entirely one-sided. The goods the United States is pnrt ing with might- be used for produc tive purposes In this country, so the transfer now going on amounts to a transfer of American capital to Eu rope In the real sense of the term. CANNED GOODS GOING TP Chicago. July 9. Purchasing agents for Chlcpgo's large hotel* and restaurants said they had been In formed by iobbers and brokers that the price of cnnned goods and other staple food commodities would soon h advanced from 25 to 28 per cent. All prices for future deliveries of these articles, thev said, were quot ed at substantially higher figure*. They say speculators were attempt ing to manipulate the market FAMOUS CASINO RUINED BY WAR IS AGAIN OPEN Ostend is Resuming Ordinary Life as Quickly as Possible Ostend, Belgium, July 9.—After ! nearly five years of war, Ostend is i resuming ordinary life as far as pos l sible under present conditions, with the reopening of the famous Casino. A few months ago the great salons of the Casino were a scene of de vastation and wanton destruction. The buildings escaped the bombard ment that transformed so many of the beautiful hotels and villas along the Digue into heaps of rubble, and the use of nine tons of glass has re paired all the damage thus occa sioned, but the Germans had plun dered and defiled the salons. Every stick of furniture was taken away, beautiful tapestries were slashed and torn by German bayonets and every mirror in the halls were removed, together with the copper candelabra in the salons and the beautiful copper staircase. Not content with robbery the Ger mans left the whole place in a state that would have shamed any animal inhabiting a stable. But since then a miracle has been wrought, and but for the fact that some of the more valuable fittings are at p/esent only temporarily re placed by imitation, there is no evi dence of the war so far as the Casino is concerned.
