IRISH CIVIL WAR
SCARS PASSING IN DUBLIN A few years ago visitors to Dublin saw all about them piles of debris, shattered and blackened walls, and other scars made by the civil war. Now', however—in the 10th year of the Irish Free State—these marks have been obliterated and a reconstructed city greets the eye of the tourist. The Four Courts, which formed the chief stronghold of the Republican remnant in 1922. have been restored. In that year the fine building was gutted by an explosion which not only made havoc of the roof, dome and interior, but totally destroyed its law library and records. Last October the courts entered their old home. Another restoration is that of the Custom House, said to be the finest building in Ireland. It was destroyed in 1921. The General Post Office is still another building that has regained its, former distinction.
