HISTORY......come alive ,
Most Americans have^' rather "
‘vague ideas about, the history of I
their own country, and most of
the historical traditions not re-
corded in contemporary documents
are somewhat mythical. Lately
there has bpen a revival of in-
terest in,the historical monuments
and relics of the nation’s past. The
restoration of Virginia’s ancient
colonial capita), Williamsburg,
with money supplitd by John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., brings the early
days of the Old Dominion to Hfe.
Now the Carnegie Institution of
Washington is doing a similar ser-
vice for the eldset city in the
United States, St. Augustine, Flor-
ida. Dating from 1565, St. Augus-
tine has the oldest buildings in
this country, and many of which
great antiquity is claimed.—but
doubted. A corps, of scientists is
at work there, r sipring the an-
cient Spanish, French and English
structures, rebuilding the old city
-wall and assembling authentic rel-
ics of St. August int’s past. When
the work is done, there will "he a
complete early American town
standing in a park, true to his-
tory in every detail.
That will make history come -[
alive for the generationscqpie.

RESORT . . . farmer’s delight
New York is going to have the
greatest World’s Fair ever held,
in 1939- A hundred -million per-
sons from all over the world are1
expected to attend. But New
York itself is a World’s Fair, and
according to its Merchants Asso-
ciation it is the vacation resort,
both Summer and Winter, of in-
creasing^,jnillions of Americans
every year.
I hgve noticed more and more
tourists every Summer in the 40
years with which I have been
familiai with New York. The
city’s .Summer climate is far bet-
ter than that of many popular
summer resorts, end the vacation-
ist who seeks a change of scene
and environment can certainly
find mi re to interest and ^muse
lum than anywhere else in Amer-
, I do not know of any other
city where the stranger is given
a more courteous welcome and
such facilities foi seeing the
sights as.,he or she gets in Ne*w
York. And, curiously enough, the
tourists who seem to get the big-
gest “kick” out of a trip to New
York are farmers and their fam-
ilies. They like to see what hap-
pens to the products .of their
farms when they have reached
their final market.
ART ...... 1400 years ago
One of the great events in the
world of art w.afl the discovery,
in the ancient church of St. Sophia
in Istanbul, that under the vaster
of its walls are the oldest known
Christ ikn pictures. Built in the
year >87, by the Emperor Justin-
ian, it^ the city then known as
Constantinople, St. Sophia was
the chief temple of the Christian
faith" for more than 900 years.
The Turks captured the city in
1453, converted the church into a
Moslem Mosque, and covered the
picturug with plaster.
Now the Turkish government
has disestablished 'Mohammedan-
ism as the state religion, declar-
ed the old church a national mon-
ument, and has instructed the'
work <rf scraping off the plaster

These logs have been preserved

One by one the relics of the

WOOD i .... i preservation
A few years ago a friend of
mine, found, buied under a bed
of a river in Yucatan, thousands
of mahogany logs which had been
cut by the early Spanish explor-
ers, who tried to float them down
tc the sea for shipment to Cuba
or Spain. A great flood hid cov-
ered them with gravel, and there
they lay for more than 300 years.
My friend dug them up and made
a small fortune. The lumber was
still as sound as when first cut.
Now they are “mining” white
cedar from the marshland near
Mauricetown, N.^.—juried for
hundreds of years, tree trunks up
to five feet thick ad fifty feet
long aSe being, houled out of mud
soemtimes 30 eet deep. The wood
MANNERS . . . much' improved
In some 5,000 miles of travel,
by ship, railroad, motor car, bus
and airplane in the past two
months, I have been struck by
the apparent improvement in pub-
lic manners on the part of those
whose work brings them in direct
contact wittL-the public.
I cani remember when civility
was the last thing the traveler
any where in America expected
to encounter. Nobody went out of
his way t be helpful to those
whom he was supposed to serve.
Now it is different. I suppose I
had dealings of one sort or an-
other with two or ( three thousand
hotel, railroad and steamship em-
ployees. taxi men and bus drivers,
filling station attendants and ven-
dors of food and drink, postal at-
taches, policemen and other func-
tionaries. The only one who was
not polite was a New York taxi
dirver. The politest persons, as
a class, I would say, are the fil-
ling station attendants.-
This universal courtesy is to
me a' sign that America is grow-
ing up. Our young mfen no long-
er think to be courteous is the
work of a “sissy.”
Mrs. J. C. Adams and daughter,
Jannet Joy, have been spending
some weeks visiting in the home
of Mrs. Adam’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. L. L. Peevy. They were
joined here a fe# days ago by
Mr. Adams, and left Monday for
their home home in Kirbyville,
where they are employed as teach-
ers in the high school.
Delighted has been the many
recipients of a free fountain pen
and pencil set, from the Chronicle.

would like to have you call this
