Naming the month of August for Emperor Augustus was not enough for Romes first emperor. The ruler's fame now is being celebrated by a vast exhibit which is luring thousands of Italians and tourists to a new building in Rome's Via East Hyland 453 yt iw m Kt .'.t "The exhibit contains a priceless collection of models and museum pieces recalling the 'Golden Age in which Augustus reigned, says the National Geographic society. Two hundred scale models of dwellings, amphitheaters, triumphal arches, baths, bridges, aqueducts and other structures like those of ancient Rome, are on display as well as several thousand plaster replicas of historic objects in bronze and marble now preserved in museums in Europe and America. "The Rome Augustus ruled (B. C. D. 14) teemed with a million inhabitants. Its wealthy residents lived a social, outdoor life, strolling in white woolen togas through shaded marble colonnades and gardens flecked with splashing fountains. Wealthy men were followed by crowds of friends and servants. Romans spent more time in public places than in their homes. In the baths they met their friends; at the circuses they watched chariot races They and gladiatorial contests. made sacrifices to the gods in temples. In the crowded Forum they heard the orations of Cicero and the latest news from the provinces, and conducted the business of the empire. Roman Tenement Rouses. "One of the outstanding exhibits is a furnished replica of a wealthy Romans home. Such homes were usually one or two stories high, built around a central hall, like those in Pompeii, and many had private water supplies. "Poorer classes lived herded together in tall 'tenement houses usually from four to seven stories high, and obtained their water from public fountains. Of flimsy construction, these buildings were the cause cf frequent fires and often some of them collapsed. Dark, unheated, and uninviting, they flanked narrow streets congested with donkeys, horses, and slaves. Rome was so noisy and crowded that wealthy citizens built country villas at Pompeii and elsewhere. "Augustus is said to have boasted that he found Rome of brick and left it of marble. He rebuilt numerous temples and other buildings. Still standing in modern Rome are remains of the Portico of Octavia which he completed and named for his sister. Nearby stands the ruined Theater of Marcellus, finished Octa-via- s by Augustus, and named for son. Rome has recently reconstructed the Altar of Peace built by Augustus to celebrate the reestablishment of peace after his campaigns in Gaul and Spain. In the year 2 B. C. he built an additional Forum tf commemorate the battle of Philippi. Public Works. "Jdore important to his subjects than his memorials were the emperors public works. He drained the surrounding malarial country, repaired the huge stone aqueducts that spanned it, and built new ones. He constructed good roads into the city. Wine wagons rolled over them ns they do now. Into the capital poured corn from Sicily, and other commodities from Sardinia, Africa, and the East.

They sweep out the houses every day and at dawn are up and about in the villages, cleaning up. From village to village lead narrow paths kept scrupulously clear of overhanging vegetation. The trails wander for miles, but they are bordered always with neatly set stones. Flowers are brought from the hills to beautify the way. Male children in Ndeni should, by all standards, be spoiled little things. But they are not.

The house was built by Sir Edward Phelps, who was queens sergeant under Elizabeth and, in the next reign, speaker of the house of commons. The construction was going on while Shakespeares plays were being written. One date, 1599, appears on the chimney piece of the dining room. Montacute is a copy book model of the Elizabethan style. It illustrates, in close detail, the slow evolution of the English country house from a fortress into a home. 1 Once Called Acadia New Brunswick was discovered 1604 by Pierre de Guast and Champlain and until 1783 was an insignificant settlement and part of Nova Scotia or Acadia, as the combined land was called.

In the midst of colonies slums, exclusive, hi.ih-rcmay be encountered. Tudor city is one example. The society of the e aristocrncy clusters in the side streets off Fifth avenue. But only for a few blocks in the Sixties and Seventies. These side streets in turn shade off into ordinary apartments and as they proceed on east, change to tenements. And the further east, the more dingy end populous the structures. So Tony Cabooch, who makes $13 a week, may live on the same street as a scion of a first family with an income from millions. Park avenue, where the money aristocracy dwells, has two business sections. One dignified, domineering and substantial. The other, away up where the railroad tracks rise from subterranean depths.

Society and wealth reside in some of the apartment buildings, many of which are that is, owned by the tenants. But as Fifth avenue goes on uptown, it changes in character as does Park. The homes and huge apartments give way to tenements. Mayor F. II. LaGuardia lives on Fifth avenue but beyond the fashionable stretch and just below the tenements.

By a resolution of the Metz municipal council, the house will be restored and architects are studying ancient documents and engravings so the structure will be as it was when the writer inhabited it. A collection of relics, possibly manuscripts and ancient editions of the works of Rabelais, is being assembled for the new literary shrine which is expected to attract thousands of visitors in years to come. Rabelais lived in the house while serving as a physician in Metz.
