Among the most interesting of the jes are remains of a blaclke hop, beautifully ornamented objects like napkin ring$ and implements possibly used for vriting. Other notable relics described v Prof. Mann include pleces of soap- tone which were sawn up for the manufacture of beads, armlets, rings and cups, while there are objects made of bone and antler, including a hand- some huntsman’s whistle ornamented with incised circles and dots—this last a very rare find, according to Mann. Also there are pins of iron with twisted shanks, circular ringheads, bracelets lignite and glass, pointed writing instruments like the Roman style ax heads with perfora- tions for wooden handles, hammers, knives, choppers, etc. Evidence of the food eaten by the islanders 2,000 years ago was found in sacks filled with bones of red deer, the early Scottish ox, swine and other animal A bone of a wild cat also was found. The architect of the ancieat fort is of particular interest to archaeologists, for it shows these. longforgetten landers could produce concretslike structures which were far superior to plain stone buildihgs or prithitive earthworks. < Concretelike Fort. The walls of the fort were 12 feet thick, the interior being filled with rubble or hand-gathered stones. These had been covered with brushwood and the whole sealed up with clay. ‘The brushwood had then been ignited and the smothered combustion, while preventing the stones from fracturing. had allowed them to become viscous and to run together, thus forming a kind of cencreté’of immense strength to which' the two dry stone settings become fixed. 3 “This," says Prof. Mann, “is the prehistorie forerunncr of our moder: reinforced-concrete and .cement stru a Scottish inve: tional pride. Complete examination of the dun goil fort relics has not yet been made and further finds are anticipated, find | which will add still further to moder: knowledge of the denizens of Bute ir | pre-Christian era days.

Herron, advertising manager of The, Star, in an address Friday after- noon before the class in journalism of George Washington University. The speaker showed the place of sdvertising in journalism, ‘begimning with @ statement that a recent ques- tionnaire to newspaper readers had shown an outstanding interest in ad- vertisements as contributing to reader interest. He especially described-.the classified department the market place of the people, having the unique distinction of being addressed in each instance to some {ndividual who would be impelled to take advantage of the single opportunity offered in an item presented on those pages. Col. Herron emphasized the fact that in every publication, Whether cr, three things w —news or fiction, advertising and circulation. Weak- ness in either one would be reflected in the others. He assured the class, | however, that the editorial department 41 not interfere with the advertising and the advertising did not interfere | with or suggest to the editorial branch. | All advertising, he said, stood on its merits as ndvertising.

The figures submitted by ‘me were furnished by reputable coal dealers and I have no apology to make. I have every rea- son ta believe that those figures were substantially correct.” Mr. Suter's name appeared in the report with that of other coal dealers until it was decided that no names would appear, whereupon they were stricken out. —e- A baby lion from East Africa that recently arrived at the London Zoo is given dally walks in the rain so that ‘he may become accustomed to the fog.
