PRINKIPO ISLAND HAVEN OF DOGS, EXILED LEADERS Lion Trotski Now Occupies Historic Refuge Off Constantinople. Bu I nitrd Prets LONDON, April 18—Prom the days of the Byzantine empire down to the present time the Island of Prinkipo, only a few miles from Constantinople, in the sea of Marmora. has been an exile-home for the banished leaders of last causes, for persons whose great power had dwindled to a life of helplessness. At present Leon Trotski, who only a few years ago was the master of the greatest army of post-war Europe and who shared with Lenin the rule over the Russians, is ill in his exile home on Prinkipo island, which also has become the home of exiled dogs. Bogs Sent There For in spite of the fact that, at least three empresses of great Byzantium were banished to this island, today it serves as a home for unwanted dogs, which the Turkish government decided to send there when they cleared out the droves which infested the streets of Constantinople. One of the celebrated exiles on the island was the Byzantine Empress Zoe, who never married until she was 40 years of age and then made up for lost time by marrying three husbands in a few years. Then she adopted a young man as her heir. This was her undoing, for as soon as the young man got the power he sent the acting empress • to the island in banishment. Leo’s Wife Interesting The Empress Euphrosyne also spent considerable time on Prinkipo. but the most interesting and important of the exiles on the island was the Empress Irene, wife of Leo IV. It was this lady who had the eyes of her son. Constantine VI, stabbed out because he tried to regain the imperial power to which he was entitled by the laws of the empire. It was this Irene who tried to negotiate a marriage between herself and Charlemagne in an effort to restore the Roman empire. On the island she was even deprived of the bare necessities of life and the would-be bride of the emperor of the west was forced to earn her scanty living by spinning.

South Grove Library Is ‘Neighborly Little Place ’

Among residences along South Grove avenue is a squat roofed bungalow. If it were not for a sign across the front porch labeled “South Grove Branch Library,” one might take it for an ordinary dwelling. Instead it is the dwelling place of best thoughts of the ages. People of the district and especially pupils of School 44. next door, have become very much attached to this little bungalow. It is a very neighborly place.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCIENTISTS TRY TO READ RIDDLE OF EASTER ISLE Group Leaves Next Spring to Inspect Enormous Tombs, Busts. Bv Times Special NEW YORK, April 18.—To find the answer to a riddle that has eluded science for two hundred years, a group of .twenty scientists from the University of Pennsylvania will jo next spring to Easter island. Though populated by a handful of natives, it is primarily an island of the dead. In a nearly unbroken line, a series of monumental burial platforms stretches around its rugged coast, a gigantic stone memorial wreath to the forgotten great of a forgotten race. Nobody knows what kind of people built them nor when they were constructed, writes Michel Mok in the April issue of Popular Science Monthly. More than 2,000 miles off the Chilean coast, its nearest island neighbor 1,000 miles to the west, Easter island —a triangular fragment of volcanic land only fortyfive square miles in area—is the most isolated inhabited spot on earth and the least accessible. Only a few explorers have visited

the place And what they found I constitutes one of the world's most Interesting unsolved mysteries. The enormous tombs, about 260 in all, some of them 300 feet long, fifteen feet high and topped by terraces that in some cases measure 100 feet in width, are not the only startling feature of this mid-ocean graveyard of antiquity. Face down, like huge nine pins, more than 600 colossal stone busts lie scattered on the island. No one has discovered who carved them out of the volcanic rock—or why. The largest of the grotesque, sol-emn-visaged statues range from thirty to seventy feet in height and weigh from forty to 250 tons. How old are these monstrous figures? Their age has been estimated at from 2.000 to 5.000 years. Possibly, it may have been much longer. Were they idols or the crude stone portraits of then-living There are no satisfactory answers to these questions. ENGLAND HAS ’LEGGERS Moonshine Makers Avoid Paying „ Heavy Liquor Duties. R” f nilril Press LONDON, April 18.—'The United States isn't the only country which has its bootlegging troubles. England, despite its lack of prohibition, is troubled with illicit makers of the balmy liquor. To avoid heavy liquor duties, stills have been found doing business in ‘‘cellars and sheds.” Like “moonshine” in America much of the bootleg whisky “1s of greater strength than that sold legitimately, and it offers an unusual kick.”
