SPANISH CITY Will
ELECTRIFY OLD ROMAN
TUNNEL. FOR RELICS
I
—
TOLEDO, Spain, Aug. 31. (/P)—
Poisonous snakes and insects are to
be chased out of the underground
i passages beneath the city and their
wealth of Roman, Moorish, Jewish
and Christian are objects disclosed
to the public by modern electric j
i lights.
The entrance to the tunnels, which
|date back to Roman times, was dis
covered beneath the home of El Gre
co, the famous seventeenth century
painter. The passages are tunnelled
five stories underground, and secret
corridors go off for miles in several 1
directions, some even coming out in
to the river below the city.
Built by various holders of the an
cient city, they contain valuable re
lics of the Romans, the Moors, the
Jews and the Christians. The home
of the painter was once owned by a
rich Jew, to whom certain of the
tunnels are attributed, and deposits
of gold have been discovered in them.
There are also splendid Roman
vases, Moorish doorways and murals.
By next year the city of Toledo will
have many of the valuable relics re
stored and many of the rooms light
ed so that they may be easily acces
sible to tourists.
]\?any difficulties are being met in
connection with the work. The un
derground rooms and corrdors, are
so infested with scorpions, snakes,
and others poisonous that few -work
men are willing to enter them. There
were “bottomless” pits to be bridged,
and just as the work seemed simpli
fied, new passages were suddenly
discovered and they too were to be
cleared out.
Some of the tunnels have never
been explored and the city has offer
ed every inducement to workers who |
have constantly refused. It is esti
mated that some of the tunnels could
not be gone through in ten days.

—The meek and lowly burro, or don
key. still plays an important part in
training wild horses.
Yoked to a complacent burro, the
horses after a few hours learn to i
stop. halt, turn and in general to
obey the wishes of someone else.
A rope is placed about the horse’s
nose and about the neck of the bur
ro and they are allowed to run to- ;
aether. After a few hours the -wild
horse may be down and unable to
get up, but the burro usually will be
able to travel.

I AMERICA CITED IS
I HORRIBLE EXAMPLE
LONDON, Aug. 31. (/P)—Lard Daw
son of Pena, personal physician to
King George and the Prince of
Wales, sees in the United States a
"horrible example” of what prohibi
tion can do.
"I have never seen in recent years
drunkenness of such a terrible char
acter as in America,” he told the
House of Lords in the course of a
speech in which he opposed a bill
proposed by the prohibition party
which would put local option laws
into effect.
“You will see, as I have seen, far'
less drunkenness in this country than
America,” he said. “British peo
nle are becoming more sober.”
