Valuable Addition to Portraits of Roman Emperors and Is Only One Extant Done During Emperor's Life. Koine.—Tivoli, that lovely little city I perched above Rome, called Tibur by the undent Romans, hits Just given to the archaeological world two new art I treasures—an augiisteum, or hall, j and a splendid head of Emperor Au- !

gust us.

Prof. Alessio Valle, one of the archaeologists who have made Tivoli a special study. long believed that Tivoli should reveal au aucient hall of importance, considering the flourishing stale of the city in Roman days. He begun to dig near a newly discovered weights and measures office, also dating from the Roman empire, thinking that the public weights and measures must surely be near some Important hull. He was nut mistaken. He has opened up a hull with a Roman pavement of while and green marble which looks as if It were pul down this morning, so fresn Is it, and the statue of Augustus, broken hut with the head intact, us tlie picture shows, with tlie lifelike lines cut out of the marble by some unknown sculptor of evident genius. Likeness ef Augustus. The statue is a likeness of Augustus when he had grown old. An inscription underneath It, which dedicates tlie statue to the gods, "for the happy return in good health of our Augustus Caesar," proves it was done during the famous emperor’s lifetime, a votive offering to the gods by a loyal Tivoli citizen who signs himself M. Yeruuus IJiitilus. Tlie same man gave the public weights and measures to the city. History lets us date this statue between B. C. 31 and A. D. 14, when Emperor Augustus died near Naples, aged seventy-six. Experts say the face is the face of a man of fifty. In Die worn lines, the ill-tempered mouth. Us upward twist at the left side, we have no flattering picture of the great emperor, but a lifelike study by an artist who dared to cut his statue as he saw the human model. For tills reason, and because of its surely being done in Augustus' lifetime, it is 1 a vejv valuable addition to tlie colj lection of portraits of the Roman emperors, and probably the only one extant of Augustus done during Ins lifetime. The figure, which originally sat on llie pedestal at the head of the hall, is graceful, as Suetoius, that gossipy historian from whom later scribes have learned nearly all they know about the Roman emperors, told us, saying: Graceful Person. "He was a very graceful person hrough all the stages of life, though he was very cureless In his dress and would set several barbers to work upon his hair together, and would sometimes clip and sometimes- shave his heard, and at the same time would be reading or writing.” Augustus, though emperor, called himself a democrat and, says Suetr.ius, "always abhorred the title of lord as a scandalous uffrput.” He tells us, too, that the emperor caught cold easily and wore woolen underwear In winter, "with a thick wool

toga."

This broken statue, with the base on which It stood, unearthed after so long bridges the gulf of centuries and brings one of the greatest rulers the world ever saw very near.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR

About Ford Cars—Solid Logic Hie Ford car lias been fundamentally right from the beginning. That fact made it “Hie Universal Car.” It had always lead in lowest first cost as well as in lowest cost to maintain and operate. Runabout, Touring Car, Coupe, Sedan, Truck and Fordson Tractor—we have them all and will make reasonably prompt delivery.. Simplicity has ever marked the designing and building of Ford cars trucks and tractors. Henry Ford and his engineers have always striven for simplicity and strength. The success of the Model “T” Ford car and a great part of the Ford Motor Company’s success has come from an early understanding and appreciation of that principle in motor construction; The fewer the parts in a car fewer the parts to go wrong. When that simple truth is carried out in producing a car, as it is in Ford cars, trucks and tractors, the result is bound to be a simplicity of design and building that means simplicity, durablity and economy of operation. Ths simplicity of construction proves itself in the ease with which Ford cars, trucks and tractors are driven. Four million five hundred Ford cars in daily service proves every claim we make. • lVk>re than ever we are sure the Ford car is your necessity—■ let’s have your order today.
