and mrs c h bell cpl clare bell tells of visiting the ancient roman city of pompei he writes in part last sunday i had the good fortune to be in a party who were taken on an educational trip to the site of the4ancient ro man city of pompei sbelieve me it was quite a town irrits day the streets are lined with houses walls standing and in good condition courtyards at the back with gar dens and fountains the streets themselves are narrow and paved with flagstones which were worn with two narrow ruts where char iots passed by large stepping stones permit one to cross from sidewalk to sidewalk without walk ing in the water which must have flowed along the street the arena was well perserved and you could imagine the roman patricians in their boxseats with awning stret ched above to keep off the blazing sun i got my biggest thrill stand ing in the forum a large open area with arches temples and greek columns this of course was the biggest meeting place for gossip trade and stuff as it is open to the sky the surrounding mountains form a magnificent background with old vesuvius ominously smok ing among them the present cra ter sends a fairly large volume of smoke skyward ceaselessly and it is easy to picture the calamity which befell the busy city about 73 ad when gladiators died in the arena and fat rich old boys were trapped in their baths these baths by the way were very beautiful with pebbled tile floors hot air blowers for fat ladies etc of course the moveable articles were all taken to naples for safekeeping in a museum still remaining in the ruins however are plaster casts made around the bones of men just as they were found when excava tion was made of the ruins thus in a glass case we saw a man lying on his side just as he was found when the city was uncovered high above the site stands a large house the home of the man who owned the land back in 1770 he farmed the site until it was purchased from him and excavation begun the soil must have been rich due to the depth of volcanic ash the anci entcity tthereforeis much lowev than this house and parts of it are still not cleared you see this on one street where the shops and houses on one side run back into a
