Alumnus Finds Greek Shrine Prof. Broneer Uncovers Sanctuary to God Eros on Slope of Acropolis Hill (Correspondence to The Gazette) Berkeley, Calif.—Word of the discovery of two rock inscriptions on the slopes of the Acropolis in Greece which clear up an archaeological mystery of many years standing and which offer the first definite information on the location of a sanctuary to the god Eros Greek mythology, was the mother of Eros. Clarifies Early Writings As a result of excavations on the site of this discovery, Prof. Broneer has also been able to offer a solution to a controversy based upon a passage in the writings of Pausanias who lived in the second century B. C. Pausanias described a secret ceremony to Athena Pollas in which two maidens carried votive objects on their heads from the temple of Athena on the Acropolis to an underground chamber near the sanctuary of Aphrodite. Revealed by Excavations It has been decided by former translators of this passage that Pausanias meant another sanctuary of Aphrodite on the banks of the Iliasus River. The underground passage he described was taken to mean a covered stairway leading from the temple. Out in our parish man so ignorant Hoover dam is a slogan.

Found by Oscar Broneer This alumnus, Oscar Broneer, who obtained his master of arts degree from the University of California in 1923, went to Greece on a traveling fellowship arranged through the interest of Dean C. B. Lipman of the graduate division. He was later given an appointment at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and is now an assistant professor. It was while working on the staff of this institution, during a respite from the task of excavating on the site of old Corinth, that Prof. Broneer chanced to examine a spot on the north slope of the Acropolis hill which has aroused the interest of a number of archaeologists in times past. The spot is distinguished by a horde of niches cut into the rock as if for votive tablets. It was suspected that a sanctuary had once been located on the site, but to which god in the Greek pantheon, no one could answer. Faint Traces of Inscriptions There, more or less accidentally, Prof. Broneer found the faint traces of two inscriptions which were overlooked by previous visitors. One of these inscriptions, restored and translated, reads: "To Eros the festival on the fourth day of the month Munychion." This establishes the fact that this sanctuary was dedicated to Eros and was in existence about the middle of the fifth century B. C. The fourth day of the month Munychion corresponds to a date at the end of the month of April on the modern calendar. The other inscription merely second century B. C. Pausanias described a secret ceremony to Athena Pollas in which two maidens carried votive objects on their heads from the temple of Athena on the Acropolis to an underground chamber near the sanctuary of Aphrodite. Revealed by Excavations It has been decided by former translators of this passage that Pausanias meant another sanctuary of Aphrodite on the banks of the Iliissus River. The underground passage which he described was taken to mean a covered stairway leading from the temple. But Prof. Broneer, in his excavations, found a hitherto unknown cavern-like passage beneath the rock near his new sanctuary of Aphrodite, and he believes there is little doubt that Pausanias was talking about the sanctuary which he has just uncovered. In addition to the principal discovery, Prof. Broneer found a number of other inscribed stones buried beneath the rubble that has accumulated during the passage of centuries. Decrees for Citizens Three of these finds are fragments of decrees by the people of Athens conferring what might be called honorary citizenship privileges upon benefactors of the city in the fourth century B. C. Another is the pedestal and base for a small statuette, probably of Athena, with the words "Heido Dedicated Me," on the pedestal. Another find, most important of all, is a fragment of a tablet or stele giving the building accounts for the famous temple Erechtheum on the Acropolis. By combining this fragment with one found some time ago it is possible to restore five complete lines of the original tablet. Pay of Workmen These lines give the names of contractors who built the temple and throw some light on labor costs of the time. It is stated that pieceworkers were paid 4 obols a foot for the molding which bordered the temple beams. This would be about 12 cents a foot, which was very high pay as masons of that time received only a drachma a day or about 18 cents. Why not convert the farm board wheat surplus into boarding house bis-says; "To Aphrodite" who according to cults? SERVICEABLE CAREER ENDS Safety Record of Passenger Busses Railroad Commission Issues Report for Year on Stages and Trucks (Correspondence to The Gazette) SACRAMENTO. — Transporting 34,078,107 passengers, with the loss of but nine lives was the safety record made by automotive passenger stage lines operating under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission during the fiscal year ending June 30, according to the annual report of E. T. McGettigan, chief of the Auto Stage and Truck department of the commission. "Safe to a Marked Degree" Of the persons killed, five were stage passengers, one a pedestrian and three riders in other cars. Operators of urban buses reported two fatalities and 363 persons injured. Urban buses in the calendar year ending December 31, 1930, transported 43,109,640 passengers. "Safe to a marked degree" is the declaration of the commission regarding public highway transportation following an analysis of accident reports filed with it by authorized carriers. These reports show a "continuous and careful attention by the carriers to all of the safety first' provisions, not only of the laws of the road but those contained in the commission's compiled set of safety rules and operating regulations, effective since April, 1930, and designed to minimize travel dangers. One rule requires all stage companies operating under the jurisdiction of the commission to come to a full stop at all railroad crossings except when a traffic officer is on duty directing traffic. It has been rigidly enforced by the commission, the carriers hearty co-operating, with the result that not a single grade crossing casualty was reported during the fiscal year ending June 30. EARL G. DEZELL, widely known general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, whose sudden death on August 2nd from heart failure is being mourned by his many friends. Citrus Growers Lose a Leader Citrus Growers Lose a Leader (Continued from Page 1) General direction. His work in this line was so sound and so based upon keen reasoning power and good judgment, that his appointment as general manager of the exchange March 1, 1922, following the sudden death of General Manager Powell, was only logical, and was made by unanimous vote of the board of directors. The story of Mr. Dezell's career is not spectacular. It is rather a story of hard work and steady perseverance, and it typifies perhaps the story of the citrus industry, which Mr. Dezell captained up to his death. Office Boy Grows Up When Mr. Dezell came to the exchange 34 years ago, this organization was marketing some 2,000 carloads of fruit annually. Today the exchange markets in a normal year well over 50,000 cars of oranges, lemons and grapefruit. As the office boy grew into the executive, the organization with which he worked grew from an untried plan formulated by certain California citrus growers in the hope of solving universal marketing problems, to one of the most highly successful co-operative marketing organizations in the world. On Top of the Ladder Whatever part the erstwhile office boy's work had in the growth of the exchange, developed success not only for himself but for the many members of a great fruit industry. Many able minds have worked together to make the success of the exchange, but none perhaps has worked harder than this one man—Earl G. Dezell. Earl Dezell climbed the ladder of success and was standing on the topmost rung at the time of his death, August 2, from heart failure. He was a native Californian, born in Placer county in 1881. All those who had contact with this man during his life will deeply regret his untimely passing. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles, August 5, with his associates in the exchange acting as pall bearers. Out in our part of town there is a man so ignorant that he thinks the Hoover dam is a Democratic campaign slogan. One way to help the livestock growers would be to have more meat and laws of the road but those contained in the commission's compiled set of safety rules and operating regulations, effective since April, 1930, and designed to minimize travel dangers. One rule requires all stage companies operating under the jurisdiction of the commission to come to a full stop at all railroad crossings except when a traffic officer is on duty directing traffic. It has been rigidly enforced by the commission, the carriers heartily co-operating, with the result that not a single grade crossing casualty was reported during the fiscal year ending June 30. 274 Accidents Reported During the year covered by the report, stage lines reported 274 accidents. Of these, 252 were reported by carriers operating buses in connection with, or as part of, a rail service. Interurban carriers or highway auto stage operators reported 22 accidents, a decrease of 41 over the previous year. Records of the commission show that on July 1, there were 485 certificated stage and truck lines operating over the highways of California. This is six less than last year. Of these there were 55 engaged in the business of transporting passengers exclusively, and 172 lines carried both passengers and property. Truck lines total 254, of which 77 operate under certificates limiting their service to specified commodities. Wages Paid by Carriers In 1930 the carriers disbursed $5,118,178.46 for wages. $2,286,800.27 for汽油 and oil and $1,266,900.18 for licenses and taxes. The tonnage reports show that in 1930 the carriers transported 2,035,744 tons, a decrease of 40,687 tons over 1929. In connection with the tonnage reports it should be borne in mind that many of the carriers report in terms of revenue, no tonnage records being kept. Decrease in Revenue The net operating revenue of all stage and truck lines reporting to the commission for 1930 totaled $750,228.55 as against $1,752,603 for 1929. There are approximately 5,500 pieces of equipment used in common carrier service on the highways, 1,524 passenger cars, 2,521 trucks and 1,011 other vehicles (trailers). The balance is leased equipment of all types. During the year several truckmen were fined for failure to comply with the commission's order, while several who were found to be operating illegally under the guise of private or "contract" haulers were ordered to cease such illegal operation. There is not a single stock ticker in North Dakota, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico or Wyoming. Secretary of War Hurley thinks that our federal bureaucracy now numbering well 600,000 is large enough. More than 65 of every 100 arrests made in this country today are for their entire tour through California and had ample opportunity to judge the reactions of the congressmen to the things they saw, must get together. We must be a unit in applying to Washington for succor. We must settle our internal differences at home. Colonel Garrison summed up this in an interview upon his return from the tour on the 15th of this month. “If the people of California will iron out their differences regarding the water problem of the State, then the fight for conservation and proper disposition of this precious fluid will be,” he said. United Front Necessary "I am confident that the congressional party is ready to recommend to Congress that federal assistance in the form of a loan to the people of this State be granted." “But that recommendation WILL NOT BE FORTHCOMING until California appears at the national capital WITH A UNITED FRONT, each section of the State agreed upon a program.” There is where the situation stands today. The next step is to work out a unified plan. In the meantime all doubtless are aware of the growing seriousness of the situation. Rivers Cease Flowing Mr. Hyatt has named a water master for the Feather River—the grower south of Marysville were, up until a few days ago, entirely without water; the flow of the river having ceased at Nicholas. The Sacramento River, within the last few days has dropped to a flow of 200 feet second or less; Monterey and San Luis Obispo county supervisors have jointly appropriated monies for investigation of the water resources of the two counties; Santa Barbara county has voted funds to match those of the State for water study—the governor himself, has intervened in the serious Lake Tahoe problem in which Nevada and California are vitally interested. But why go on?? The situation is acute throughout the State; it is a vast California problem, not one peculiar to one or more sections. Two Committees Forming In the meantime the governor already has named several of the nine Californians who will make up a committee. native Californian, born in Placer county in 1881. All those who had contact with this man during his life will deeply regret his untimely passing. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles, August 5, with his associates in the exchange acting as pall bearers. Out in our part of town there is a man so ignorant that he thinks the Hoover dam is a Democratic campaign slogan. One way to help the livestock growers would be to have more meat and fewer ants in the picnic sandwiches. Theodore Dreiser has been flaying the "public utility trust." The only trust Dreiser admires very much is the iron-clad soviet trust over in ussia. There is not a single stock ticker in North Dakota, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico or Wyoming. Secretary of War Hurley thinks that our federal bureaucracy, now numbering well 600,000, is large enough. More than 65 of every 100 arrests made in this country today are for either traffic or liquor law violations. The reason the Hitlerites and the communists in Germany hate each other so is that they stand for so nearly the same thing. In the meantime the governor already has named several of the nine Californians who will make up a citizens water committee representing each section of the State. The legislature has named its committee of fourteen. The two hope to draw up a comprehensive unanimous program for solution of the State-water problem and the governor has promised to call a special legislative session to consider this program. With federal aid virtually assured if the State gets together on a concrete plan to present to Washington, it is now up to California to unite and bring to fruition years of effort to solve this problem which yearly is becoming more acute. Grower Co-operation In California That the citrus and Calavo-avocado industries of California are two outstanding agricultural successes of the country, due to grower co-operation, is the opinion of Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of the Department of Agriculture, who spoke at a dinner arranged in his honor a few days ago in Los Angeles at which the agricultural industries of the state were represented. "California's great contribution lies in the fact that your state has shown the world what farmer co-operative organizations can accomplish in the way of distribution and successful marketing of farm products," Secretary Hyde also declared in his address, concluding by saying that this state has in C. C. Teague and George Farrand two of the greatest agricultural leaders of the nation. The great growth of the orange and lemon distribution through collective efforts of growers in marketing has made these fruits nationally consumed products, according to Paul Armstrong, as... sistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. C. V. Newman, president of the Calavo Growers of California, stated that, the calavo, and the California avocado industry in general, is particularly grateful to the Department of Agriculture for the pioneering work that it did in Mexico and Guatemala to find varieties suitable for local culture, and upon which the California success has been founded. What we would like to know is how many stacks of wheat cakes the wheat surplus owned by the Federal Farm Board could be worked into.
