She, ever as alert and resourceful as her wandering lord, puts off her promise till she has woven a web of which t-he each niht unravels what she has done during the day. This flr.ct great story of wandering adventure has a much mere perfect unity than the Iliad. It centers closely about the person of Odysseus, ;tnd divides itself into three parts, the adventures of Telernachus in rust of odysseu.s. the wandering" if the hero, and his return home, v here with the few still faithful to ) tin be makes himself his own detective, lays the scene for the destruction of the villains, and finally brings about the happy en-ling which has so constantly distress". 1 critics of the novel ami the theater i-ince man began to write and ordinary folk to listen or to read.

At this moment it is at last made possible for Odysseus to start on Iiis way home. Hut the sea. ever his enemy, again plays him fale, and he Is wrecked once more, though he Is cast ashore on the land of the phneeians. There begins in the land of this fabulous folks one of the most marvellous adventures of the man of marvels. Probably the scene that remains in the minds of the irre.at majority of readers of I reek literature as the fairest bit .f idealized beauty la it all is the picture of the young Princess Xausicaa. She had gone down to the river mouth with her handmaidens to wash linen; their work done, they fell to playing ball upon the shore, where Odysseus, beneath the shade f the hushes, was sleeping off the weary travail of his long swim. Then having bathed and anointed themselves rdeekly with olive oil. they took their meal by the banks of the river and waited for the clothes M dry in the bright rays of the sun. And when they had cheered themi des with food, maids and mistress alike, they becan t play at l.all. casting add their veils. And lor them fair-armed Nausicaa heKan the son.g.

CANAL BOAT HOMES IN PHILADELPHIA

Shorlagc of Houses Puts Ten-! ant Population in Dos. prrate Straight. j

NAME "BAYER" ON GENUINE ASPIRIN Prescribed by physicians for over eighteen years

PHILADELPHIA, April 2 "? . A eampaign for the building of homes i-i Philadelphia's answer to the question of how to keep rents down to a rn-onable basis. The tenant population is in desperate straits for rents have been geing higher and hither ar.d no end seems to be In ight. The sera ml-! e for homes in the suburbs is so acute that when one woman moved some of the furpiture out of hr home, the other d.y. in order to clean the house. 2.' persons tried to rent it from her within a few hours. In stop the profiteering in rents and homes, several organizations are attempting to unite on a program of housf building to continue for at least .six months or until the shortage has been relieved. These organizations include associations of tenants, trade unions, representatives of the building trades and mortgaging companies. They have been asked to undertake this work by the department of public welfare. .Meanwhile camping ground accessible by street cars is in great demand. Tent manufacturers say more orders have been placed for tents this month that ever before In Philadelphia's history. There is an unprecedented amount of building of cheap cottages and bungalows within a radius of 30 miles of Philadelphia to accommodate the rush of tenants that is expected when mild weather comes. Those. crectel in one community cost about 1 0 0 0 each and are eagerly rented at $ :r0 for the season. Old canal boats lying along the Schuylkill river are being titled out as dwellings and families are glad to rent them as temporary homes.
