Taximeters Traced Back
to Early Days of Athens
OXFORD, England, July 3 (/P)—
Modern research lias disclosed that
the chariots which plied for hire in
the Acropolis in the days of Pericles
were fitted with ingenious and high
ly industrious taximeters.
In the grey dawn of Attic history
distances were measured by profes
sional pacers called bematists, who
followed the kings on campaigns and
processions, but with the introduction
of horses and chariots, ,the bematists
lot in that hot and dusty land became
an active and unenviable one. Thus
the taximeter of those days was, it
is said, invented out of sympathy for
this industrious order of men. The
profitable little instrument survived
wars and invasions and clicked on
through all the darkest ages. They
are recorded to have been in use in
Spain in the days of Columbus and
John Evelyn, the seventeenth century
| diarist, speaks of them as waywisers,
I “very pretty and useful.”
Of these “waywisers,” or “peram
I bulators,” a number have now been
; collected and are on display in the
i newly reopened Oxford musemum of
! scientifi instruments.
London authorities want to deport
i Andy Arthur as undesirable but do not
I know where to ship him as he was
! born on a ship in the Red Sea.
In a sermon in Edinburgh the Bish
I op of Carlisle stated that young wo
men of Scotland are drinking to an
alarming extent.
Joseph Clamer of Chicago, arrested

begging was found to have a bank
account of SI 200.

TOKIO SUICIDES INCREASE 300 j
|N YEAR, — POLICE REPORT
TOKIO, July 2. (/P)—During the
year ended with March, there were
1,263 suicides in Tokio, according to
records of the Metropolitan Police
Bureau. This was 300 more than
the previous 12 months. Most of
the suicides were because of jealousy
or disappointment in love, it was
stated.
The pistol was the least popular
agency of self-destruction; two men
and two women killing themselves by
shooting. Poisoning was the means
most frequently employed, 221 men
and 271 women killing themsleves
in that manner.
MUSIC LOVERS WORSHIP
AMID BEAUTIES OF NATURE
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., July 2.
(/P)—A capacious and probably
unique, natural amphitheater, dis
tinctive in its setting 7,000 feet above
sea level in the wooded heart of the
San Bernardino mountains, on what
is known as the “Rim of the World,”
was opened recently with a musical
program novel in itself.
This huge out-door theater can ac
commodate an audience of 50,000
persons or more. The seating ar
rangements include everything from
the natural pine needles, collected
to form a seat, to cushioned chairs.
Instead of one stage there are
many. They are composed of plat
forms of table-shaped rocks artisti
cally placed by the hand of nature
about the large amphitheater. On
one, hundreds of feet above the au
dience, a violinist standing in the
shafts of colored lights blended with
the moon-beams thru the branches
of great trees on the mountainside
above him, rendered music from the
masters of long ago. From another
across a .ravine on a precipitous
mountain side, a string quartet play
ed softly while choruses sang from
half hidden caverns.
Vari-colored lights playing about
the amphitheater created a fantastic
effect.
