AUSTRALIANS AT ROME

ROME, April 19,

The Australian tennis players were successful in their debut, Hopman playing at his best. Quist's partner, Mile. Lolette Payot, was not quite up to her usual good form.

One of the oldest trades in the world is that in aromatic oils, and a brief account of its history was given in the "P.L.A. Monthly." Parts of plants and plant products of agreeable odour enter into modern commerce in the same form as those of antiquity, and the essential constituents of these crude materials have been recognised and prepared with ever-increasing purity through thousands of years. From Central Asia, the traditional cradle of mankind, spread the ancient caravan routes, and Attock, Cabura, Bactra, and Maracanda were centres for the exchange and storage of spices and aromatics. gold and silver, silk and jewellery, five thousand years ago. The trade of Babylon and the Phoenicians fifteen centuries before the Christian era included this traffic in sweet-scented plant products. '

The origin of the teapot can be seen in the late Neolithic and eai-ly Bronze Age pottery of Macedonia. Fragments of vases have been discovered near Salonika with three-inch spouts halt-way down the sides set at an angle of 45 degrees.
