Prof, Rhys Carpenter, director, has just made public the result of the school's excavations for the past year. Besides uncovering a section of the city wall of Corinth, including two round towers, students discovered a Rom#n bathing establishment, complete with marble tubs, mosaic showers and decorative statues. These are supposed to T>e the buths of Eurykles mentioned by Pausanias as the finest in Corinth. A potter's factory dating from the fifth and sixth centuries B. C. was found near the towers. There were some 2,000 vases of all shapes and sizes in the factory and they throw I considerable light on the Corinthian ceramic industry. The finds included also an heroic size marble head of the Roman emperor Caraealla, a small marble head of the fifth century B. C, and a series of Byzantine plates. Mrs. J. A.

WHY WIVES LEAVE HOME Nothing Left for Them to Do Around the House Any More One commentator in the Homes Beautiful exposition satisfies himself after a look around, why so many women look for jobs. "They have nothing left to do at home," says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Electrical devices, it appears, are -esponsible. In the well-mechanized lousehold, the inference is, the mother having nothing else to do, spends ler days at an office, returning at light to find her children clean, well iressed, happy, charming in manners, waiting to sit down with their wage sarning parents to a clpably cooked, licely balanced, daintily served meal. One wonders whether a machine has yet been found that will prepare children's lunches dietetically, com- ' fort their woes, wipe their noses, oversee their play and work, buy their clothing, do the mending, and instruct them in manners and mor als. Such a machine must be added to the household before the average modern mother will find herself idle. Held on Assault; Shoots Self Columbia.?E. C. DeLoach <ft Lyman, iSpartanburg county, who was free under a $1,500 bond for an alleged statutory offense said to have been committed against a 15-year-old girl, shot himself through the chest at 230 Gadsden street in Columbia, late Sunday afternoon with a .45 calibre pistol. His condition is described as "fnir'V although the bullet penetrated the body and lodged in an adjoining room. University of South Carolina Columbia, S. C. D. M.

SUMMER SCHOOL June 18 to July 30, 1930 *> . v Valuable Collection , of Carolina Lore ! : The following appeared in the magazine section of the Bostou, 1 raivacript of Saturday, May 31; The University of South Carolina, * at Columbia, in the autumn will place ' on exhibition for the first time the 1 collection of Caroliniana being brought together by Mr. Henry P. 1 Kendall, president of the Kendall Company of Boston. According to ' Mr. George 1,. Moore of Boston, when Mr. Kendall purchased a home in historic Camden, ?S. C., where the original mill of the southern group of Kendall mills is located, ho be- . came interested in obi southern maps, books, pamphlets, Indian artifacts, ' prints and furniture, and has been collecting for several years in London, Boston, New York, Charleston, ' Columbia and throughout the Southcast. His collection is coining to be regarded in the South as noteworthy, especially us to its maps, which include several items not listed in the catalogue of the Congressional Library and are said to constitute the finest collection of early Southern maps south of the Mason and Dixon line. Mr. Kendall has declared that the entire collection always shall re^.. main in the South. One of the notable items in the library of the Camden house, "The Sycamores," is Mark Catesby's twovolume Naturul History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands, 1754. Its colored plates of fauna and flora are in j>erf??ct condition. The pumphlets in the collection number many Confederate imprints. Five of the Lord's Proprietors, to whom Charles Second granted th,e Carolinas are in the collection of prints. Perhaps the outstanding item among the prints is an early impression of G. Cooke's "City of Charleston, South Carolina, Looking Across Cooper's River," supposed not to be in existence. There are eighty-five items in the map collection, the majority being eighteenth century. The earliest is sixteenth century, a map of the American provinces, the work of an Amsterdam map-maker, and among the cartographers represented are Hannan and de Witt of the seventeenth century; de l'Lsle, Andrew Hughes, William Faden, de Brahn, Bagley Lowitz, de Vaugondy, Allard, d'Anvilie, Bodinio, Hamamo and Samuel Lewis of the eighteenth century. Some of the individual specimens are of exceptional interest. One that came to light through one of Boston's print shops was the original plate used in striking off ten-pound notes in South Carolinu. It is dated 17 48. There are a dozen "extras" of the Palmetto State Banner, one-galley flyers retailing ive latest delails jf the Mexican War as provided by *hip cup La ins or correspondents' let Lers. Some of the maps bear eviden e of uneouul and inverted ex|K-nditure of labor. No reputable cartographer of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries would let a map jut of his hands that was not lushly illuminated, decorated, engrossed and enscrolled One Allard has u cure- > fullv detailed pageant of love as liberally interpreted from the signs of the zodiac. It quite overshadows the four hemispheres there projected. There are likewise documents, of importance in themselves and in theii interpretation of the development of the Carolina*. There are roughly us-i signed four periods of Southern history: discovery, proprietary, royal und independent. Front the second and third periods there are two specimens, an indenture or land grant from several of the l/<?rds Propria, tors and another from George the 3rd, at least in his name. The other periods are of cd"6rse represented by remainders of a departed day in the history of this country. j The building that houses them and the town where the owner lives are in themselves fragments of the vanished aristocracy that lent America Us one graceful note. "The Sycamores" at Camden, and the developments of the town with which Mr. Kendall has been concerned are I closely kin to the historic section | which started him on his collecting. , He is not old and a recluse, nor does he hustle off to his native heath i as soon as he nails another treasure. His class in college was about 'b'J i ami he is us active as the executive i head of a large corporation has to be. It has been reasonably suggested that he can keep his fresh attack upon business matters by having some such placid hobby. He moved to the South and ha* taken root. The country and the people, the history and mementoes now hold a strong place in his affections. He is intent that this collection remain in its natural location. Not the least devastation of the South " ha* been in the recent excursions of wealthy universities and libraries after historial items. The friendly gesture which keeps this Camden collection in the South is kin to other reports of Mr.- Kendall's sincere regard for the country thereabouts. Hesides his industrial developments and his bobby he has found nlace in the civic world and has been able to insure preservation of certain survivals of the old day? . The church at Camden is a composite of early Southern Churches and has had more than local attention. Mr. Kendall is called responsible for it, and Boston architects for its design. The familiar antagonism of mill folk and natives has in great mosurc dissolved under an intelligent approach. Such tangible gestures as these signify the j genuine sympathy which is not supposed to cross the Macon and Dixon Line. Dewey Hyatt Dies Suddenly Dewey Hyatt who lived at Lucknow and who was '*0 years of age dropped dead in the field where he was at work Wednesday, May 2X. The cause of death was heart failure. IJe had been plowing but ch'ahged to hoeing cotton. His death came a few minutes after he made the change. The immediate relatives surviving deceased are four* brothers and one sister.
