THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1931 PACE S Chinese In Windsor Commended '* For Care of Fellow Unemployed Windsor, Ont, May 15--The at- ftude of the Chifiese and the way in vhich they meet the unemployment situation were emphasized in Wind- Jor police court Monday, and drew tommendation. Eight Chinese faced® him on tharges of "playing with-dominoes" sid violation of the Lord's Day Act. ,They were apprehended after mid- gh. Saturday when police raided a inese club room, One of the raiding officers testi- fed that there was money on tle lables, but that at each table, there vas a box into which the winner slaced a certain portion of his win- nings. This motley was used to aid the unemployed Chinese. The court was told that there are abput 500 Chinese in the Border and that two- thirds of them aré out of employ- ment. "You mean that the one-third who are working support the other two- thirds," said His Worship. "Yes," replied 'the officer, charity," Magistrate Brodie dismissed the eight and said, "I think the Chinese are to be commended for taking care of their own as they do." ANCIENT 0STIA BEING REVEALED Port of Rome, me, Povintal in Trade Fifteen Centuries. Ago, Rises from Dust (By George Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) Ostia, Italy, May 15.--Ostia-- ~ Rome by the sea--is rising again ' from the accumulated rubbish of centuries, Little by little as excavations pro- . ceed, Ostia, after 15 centries of ob- livion, is revealing how the old Ro- mans lived and worked and thought and died. For Ostia differs from the more familiar monuments of Rome itself. It has no great Palaces of the Caesars such as tower in massive ruins from the slopes of the Pala- tine Hill. It has no great coliseum "with its endless tragedy of the mar- iyrdoms and massacres that made a Roman holiday. Ostia has its 'baths, its theatre, its temple to Jupiter, its forum. But it is rather in its row on row of houses of the common people in its regularly laid streets, its byways, that Ostia lives again. For Ostia - was founded as the 2a of Rome when the first kings fed from thé Capitoliné Hill. Un- der the Republic, it became a great port of trade, To Ostia, the Romans brought their wheat from Egypt. There, in great granafries, they * stored enough in bulk, fo feed the heart of mighty Rome for a year. sea. - Year by year, the sea crept slowly back. The mouth of the Tiber silted up. The course of the river changed. Gradually the Romans left it. Invading Barbarians pillaged it. Succeeding centres covered it was dust and rubbish. And the giant ruins of Ostia now rise from green fields a mile and a quarter from the sea. Yes one cannot wander its pave- ed streets, in and out of its red brick houses, without a thrill, Here 'is a line of old shops. On the pave- ment outside, worked in mosaic, a leather dealer advertises wares pire. A wood merchant proudly an- nounces his fuel. A silversmith, his workmanship, A little further, a house rises to the balcony. Empty niches mark where once stood little statues of household gods. The "walls of a restuarant tell in pie- tured fresco of excellent fare. In stately splender, a merchant from the East built his home. Across the forum, facing the old temple of Jupiter, stands a marble statue. Its arms are broken, It glows in the setting sun. With one foot firmly planted on the world, it pictures a Rome that was.

Ostia was killed by the receding question, Rather than continue to "tun a bill" which he felt he could not pay and in spite of the fact that his. family was in want he told his creditor of his position and advised bim to stop calling at his home, "I have no job, and no money, so' it isn't right that I should continue to take your service," he said. The sympathy of the businessman was aroused, "How would you like to do a little work for me to help pay off the bill?" he asked, The debtor was quite willing, and it was arranged that he should come the next morning to do aday's work He arrived on time and worked hard. He lived only a distance of a few blocks away from the establish- ment, and when the noon hour came he went to his employer, with an- other pathetic request.

"Well, I'll tell you what to do," the merchant explained with some heat, "vou just drive that car home, put it in the garage and start to walk--and don't walk i in the direction of this establishment!'

Prince declared foreign tariff' walls threatened the export trade of many "of Great Britain's manufac- tured articles. The meeting was the second "trade clinic" since the prince re- turned from his goodwill 'our in Latin America, where he opened the British Empire Trade Exposi- tion at Duenos Aires, That the heir to the throne had made a close study of Latin American and British trade conditions, was evi- dent as he. spoke to the business men. Fail to Advertise As a nation, Great Britain was behind in regard to advertising, he declared. "We do great things and we invent great things which are of great value to the world, but we never let the world know what Wwe have done. Our foreign competitors advertise a great deal and foremost among them are our friends. In No¥th America 1 have heard a great many Englishmen say that the American way of Lcosting goods, the American form of pub- lieity, is very vulgar. That is en- tirely a matter of opinion, But the bact remains that our friends in the United States 'get away with it," he declared. Business men of Great Britain should take a leaf from the book of United States husiness men with regard to publicity for thelr manu- factures, he believed, With regard to trade with South America, he had found that everywhere on that continent North America had made its influence felt in business. The business men of South America used telephones, automobiles, of- fice equipment, radios, grama- phones, films and countless other articles made in North America.

P. Biggar in an article in The Landmark. Mr. Biggar, Canadian archivist in Europe, dealing in the organ of the English-speaking union with the exploration of New England by the French in 1604 to 1607 ob- gerves algo that had the French coming down the coast from Cana- da in the Autumn of 1606 reached the Hudson instead of being dis- couraged by persistent head-winds in the probable vicinity of Mar- tha's Vineyard, "it is certain that the history of North America would have developed differently." "With the exceptior of students of early Canadian history," says Mr. - Biggar, 'few people seem aware that before the arrival of the Pllgrim Fathers in 1620 the coast of New England from the St, Croix to Cape Cod had been cave- fully explored and mapped by the French from Canada. Founding their first permanent colony there on Dochet Island 4n the 5t. Croix River in 1604, they paid znnual vigits to this New England coast in 1604, 1605 and 1606. In addition to two maps of the whole region in Champlain's book, detailed charts were given not only of Plymouth harbor but also of Saco Bay, Glou- cester, Nauset and Stage Harbors. "In the spring of 1604, a mono- poly of the fur trade having been granted to Pierre du Guast, Sieur de Monts, he despatched two ves sels to Acadia, to form a permanent settlement," Mr, Biggar continues, "A site was selected on an {sland in the River St. Croix, which is the present houndary between Canada and the United States. - This is- land, now called Dochet's Island, actually lles within American wa- ters. "When buildings had been erect ed, the Sieur de Monts decided to send an expedition to explora the coast to the southward, and of thls expedition Champlain was placed in charge. Leaving the St. Croix on Sept. 2, 1604, in a small vessel of eighteen tons, Champlain pro- ceeded down the coast of the pres- ent State of Maine. "Two of the names given by Champlain are still in use, Mount Desért 1sland was 50 named on ac- count of its summits being 'bare of trees' in contrast to the surround- ing countryside, which was thickly wooded, while Isle Haute, off the mouth of the Penobscot, was so Dominion Inlaid Linoleum No. 7604 shown above is wvailable in three different colour combinations, This Beautiful Dining Room Floor was chosen by Mr. Louis Mulligan * +» « Cooperating in the recently completed Pattern Selecticn Contest DOMINIONs##LINOLEUM a Beautiful Floor at Modest Cost Floor beauty, the basis for all smart room treatments is readjly achieved.

"Setting sail on October 16, they were now on their way to Long Is- land and the Hudson when head- winds arese which drove them back to Stage Harbor. Four days later a fresh attempt was made to pro- ceed westward, but with no better success.
