A-1834 North Ave. Chicago, 11l TREASURE IS FOUND BY INDIAN’S DREAM * — “ Ancient Pagan Temple In Mexican Wilds Revealed. Mexico City. — A drenm-guided search for treasure by the descendants of an ancient chieftain who fought agatast Cortez has ended most amaz ingly in the discovery of one of the most splendid temples yet known of the pagan gods of pre-Hispanic Mex ico, dedicated to Camaxtli, the chief god of the Tlaxcala nation before the conquest. Dr. Eduardo Noguera, inspector of the department of archelogy of the ministry of education, investigated the discovery at Tizatlan for the Mex ican government and conducted sys tematic excavations there. He states that the Indians of the town claim that one of their number, Panfilo San chez, is a descendant of Xicotencatl, former lord of Tizatlan and one of the rulers of the Tlaxcala nation and a bitter adversary of Cortez. This Sanchez declared that Xicotencatl himself appeared to him in a dream and revealed the whereabouts of his hidden treasure. Other Indians, believing in the vision, went with Panfilo to the des ignated spot to dig. They came upon prehistoric ruins and in their thirst for treasure cleared away a large amount of earth in two weeks. Walls of a temple and beautiful polychrome frescoes appeared, and the fame of the discovery spread throughout the state of Tlaxcala and into Mexico City. Government authorities were sent to investigate and the amateur excavation was stopped. Temple on Crest of Hill. The temple remains are on the crest of a hill overlooking the Indian village of Tizatlan and are under the ruins of an old Christian church be lieved to have been built by Cortez after the destruction of the heathen temple more than 400 years ago. The ruins belong to the Aztec cul ture. Dr. Reygadas Vertiz, director of the department of archeology under the ministry of education, says that the find is one of the most important of recent times because the building contains polychrome fresco paintings considered to be real codices, or his torical records in symbolic picture form. The picture writings may form an important link in piecing together the story of Mexico before the dis covery of America. True codices are found on very few Aztec ruins, Doctor Reygadas sayr. Most of the codices now in existence are on maguey paper, made from the fiber of a common Mexican plant, and are in European museums. EVen of these but few are left, because the conquerors and- the missionaries who followed them destroyed all the tem ples, idols and written records of the native races in their zeal to convert them to Christianity. Here and there a strip of picture writing was secretly saved as a souvenir or sent to Europe as a curiosity. After several centuries had passed their historical value was recognized and those few remnants found their way into collections and museums. Colored Symbols Unearthed. A floor about eighteen feet wide and thirty-seven feet long has now been excavated, and the rectangular space was found to be perfectly ori entated with the cardinal points. On this space stand two raised stone plat forms, both beautifully ornamented with brilliantly colored symbols. Among L ? figures are some that are easily recognized, such as the water sign and the death sign. On the short vertical ends of the platforms are canals that divide the walls into two equal parts. Because of the constant repetition of the death sign and the water sign, which in this case could also be interpreted as the blood sign, it is believed that these slabs were sacrificial altars and that the canals served to lead away the blood. The most beautiful figure on the frescoes is that of the god Camax tli, and for that reason it is believed that the temple was built in ills honor. Peiting Place Was Poison Ivy Garden St. Paul, Minn. —This is the sorrow ful tale that is whispered wherever summer session students gather on the Minnesota university campus. Two romantic young things, the boy about twenty and the girl not more than eighteen, came down from the northern part of Minnesota where Vines are vines and not poison ivy. Before the advent of the decorative spotlights there had been plenty of places for a little quiet necking. But all that was changed. Then one morning be got a bright Idea. Every day going to his classes he passed a perfectly luscious looking garden. Cool and green, all vines and ferns, it was Inclosed by a high picket fence. Os course, it had a warning sign on the gate, but then he neither read nor believed in signs. That very night he mysteriously conducted the girl to the garden. She was charmed with the spot. She told him that she would never forget the night and the garden and, of course, him. And she never will. The following [ morning both their faces were broken out with a rash that closely resembled that produced by poison ivy. The gar den was filled with poisonous plants for the use of the medical students in their research work. THE. BULLETIN. IRWINTON, GEORGIA. VIOLET RAYS GOOD FOR SICK MONKEYS Valuable Zoo Animals Are Restored to Health. New York.—How ultraviolet radi ation, used on sick humans, saved the lives of five valuable and desper ately ill animals in the New York zoological park is told by Dr. Charles V. Noback of the department of com parative medicine. His furry patients consisted of a red howling monkey, a grivet mon key and three lemurs, which are small animals belonging to the same order as monkeys but lower in the evolutionary scale. They are all expensive animals and their threatened death from “cage paralysis,” which is a disease very similar to rickets in human beings, was regarded by the zoo authorities as a genuine calamity. When they had reached a state in which they re fused all food and could hardly move, Doctor Noback was called in. The helplessness of the animals at the outset simplified the treatment. Doctor Noback simply placed his quartz-tube mercury vapor lamp be hind their bowed and immobile backs and turned on the current, without needing to tie or constrain them in any way. The treatment was kept up for a month in the case of the red howling monkey, and from three to four weeks with the others. In all cases the stiffness and decrepitude that mark the disease in its extreme stages soon disappeared, the eyes became bright again, the hair glossy and the pa tients displayed a manifest renewal of their interest in food. Doctor Noback notes that the doses of the rays to which he subjected the hair-covered skins of his animals were much more intense than those intend ed for the bare skin of a human being. For this reason he had to be care ful about hairless and nonpigmented areas, such as the region around the eyes, to avoid producing severe sun burn. Sweets Growing More Popular in America Washington—Fathers and mothers seem to be getting more indulgent in the United States, or else the fathers and mothers themselves are consum ing more candy, chewing gum and ice cream, because the production of these three children's favorites is set ting new altitude records nearly ev ery year. The Commerce depart ment’s census of manufactures dis closes tremendous .increases which small boys will find hard to believe. Comparing 1914 figures with those for 1925, the following was set forth: The nation now produces $47,838,- 000 worth of chewing gum, compared with the pre-war figure of $17,000,000, and the product stiil sells for a nickel a package. The ice cream bill is $280,175,680 a year, compared with $55,983,133 in 1914. Candy costs $379,081,411, compared with $153,085,523 in 1914. This present bill of $700,000,000 or more —about $35 annually per small boy—if small boys got it— doesn’t represent all the money spent by dad and sister’s sheik, either, for these figures are wholesale prices. Retail prices will boost these three industries into the $1,000,090,000-a --year figure, experts believe. The increases are variously attrib uted to prohibition, advertising, in creasing export trade, and the at tempt of the factories to catch up with the appetites of small boys and high school girls. Better Than Chimes Seattle, Wash. —An offer to buy chimes for a large church being fin ished here was turned down by its pastor, who replied that bells are out of date. A well-planned newspaper ad vertisement announcing the Sunday features, he contends, will draw more folks to church than noisy chimes and at the same time not disturb those who habitualy sleep late on the Sab bath. Why the Big Stamps Are Not Very Popular New York. —Refusal of the public to expend the energy and time needed to moisten and affix a large stamp is given by post office officials as one reason for the falling off in the demand for the new 2-cent stamps celebrat ing the surrender of General Burgoyne. Sales of the Burgoyne stamp, together with a stamp commem orating the battle of Benning ton, have fallen off since they first went before the public on August 5. The Bennington stamp is of ordinary size, while the Burgoyne stamp is oblong, the shape of the special delivery stamp. The drop in demand for the Burgoyne issue has been more marked than that for the Bennington. “Professional and amateur collectors and dealers bought both in large quantities in the first week,” said Edward P. Russell, cashier of the post office. “Then the demand fell off. Business houses do not like to buy large stumps because of il.e extra work involved in stamping letters.” * INHERITS MILLIONS, STAYS A HOME BODY Wealth Doesn’t Alter Life of Ina McEachran. Detroit, Mich.—ln the midst of the old-fashioned "back yard” behind the big, gray frame house at 1996 Ferdi nand avenue is a cherry tree. The cherries were hanging thick among its leaves, red and sweet, but just a little overripe, their skins just a wee bit lined, cherries that some one should have picked some time before. You see, millions of dollars have come tumbling down into that old fashioned garden, into the lap of Ina Cecil McEachran, niece of Arthur T. Walker. No more incongruous figure to handle millions than the twenty-six year-old heiress can well be Imagined. As the only child of her mother, Mrs. Susan McEachran, she falls heir to a sixth of the thirty to fifty million dol lar estate left by the late secretary to Edward F. Searles. “Isn't Bad Looking.” For nearly ten years the McEachran family lived in the house on Ferdi nand. They were and are “quiet” people. Ina was a home body. She seldom went anywhere except to church, to the little neighborhood mo tion-picture house, and for rides in the little, inexpensive car that was the pride of father and daughter. There were no beaus, no dances; Ina does not approve of dancing very much. “She isn’t bad looking.” So the neighbors describe the heir ess. At times she wears glasses. She is plump and does not move too brisk ly. Every evening has found her at home alone. She never made friends with the neighbors. In fact, as a re sult of a fence dispute between the mother and one set of neighbors there existed the “we do not speak” situa tion. Same Old Routine. There was a brother, but he died a couple of years ago after a long ill ness. Ina was his nurse for much of that period. For a period she was employed in the offices of the Michi gan Central railway. The family came to Detroit from Jackson. The father, R. B. McEach ran, is an employee of the D. U. K. and is as quiet In his habits as the girl. And now into their placid exist ence conies tumbling the millions, the magic wand to materialize yachts and palaces. But life hasn’t changed a bit as yet. Ina, the heiress, wound the clock, pulled down the shades, swept the floor and prepared the dinner as usual. In the morning she got up, cooked a breakfast and drove her little old car away. Same neat, simple dress, same little hat, same old routine. Flying Kitten Has Its Own Parachute Pittsburgh.—Birdie, the flying kit ten mascot of Kenneth Curley Love joy, air mail pilot, never goes up for a flight without her own little para chute. Birdie is a general favorite with all the flyers at Bettis field, Pitts burgh’s airport. Lovejoy explained that he selected her as a mascot be cause she had a jet black nose, “and you know that’s sure good luck." The kitten seemed to enjoy her first flight so, Lovejoy decided to take her along regularly. The code of the air, however, calls for all occupants of a ship to have parachutes, and when it’s impossible for all to have the safety devices, then no one on the plane wears one. Lovejoy had his regular parachute, so he decided that Birdie must have one, and he manufactured a small sized parachute for the kitten. She is taken with the pilot on virtually all of bis air voyages, whether with mail or passengers, and on each trip she wears her emergency landing gear strapped to her back. “We haven’t had to jump yet,” and the airmen, “but when we do, we are going to be all set, and Birdie is going down with me..” Gambles’’s Card 6,020 Years Old Is Found London.—Scraped of the mud of many centuries, a tablet dug up at Ur of the Chaldees' reveals a gam bler’s score card at least 6,000 years old. The tablet with oilier trophies taken from Ur, 140 miles southeast of Baby lon, the birthplace in Mesopotamia of Abraham, is now on exhibit at the British museum where it was brought by C. Leonard Woolley, head of the expedition. Recognized gamblers of about 4,000 B. C. were honored by a notice on their tombstones immortalizing their achievements. Tablets have been dis covered which were used as card ta bles, and also a number of playing pieces. Card sharks trying now to recon struct the game as ft was played by the ancients have concluded that some of the plays approximated the “red and black” of the modern roulette table. Alternate and interfitting triangles were used for the "chances,” the colors to be backed being mother of pearl and pure red made from a paste. Sees Noiseless World Chicago. —A noiseless world is fore cast by Prof. D. A. Laird of Colgate university. He says London pays $5,- 000,000 annually for "unnecessary noises.” Suicide Wave Grips Students in Turkey Constantinople.—As a meas ure against a wave of suicides, especially among young stu dents, the new chief of police, Cherlf Bey, has promulgated an order prohibiting the press from giving extensive publicity to sui cide cases. Henceforth pictures of the victims may not be published nor may suicide stories appear on the front page of any Con stantinople paper. All that is to be allowed will be a brief statement In case of suicide on an inside page. The most conspicuous tragedy In Angora was the suicide of a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Ni hal Hanem, daughter of a prom inent army officer. SMALL BOY FORCED TO STAY IN KENNEL Child Found Tied to Stake, With Dog Companion. Greensburg, Pa. —Strapped to a stake to prevent him from wandering away, four-year-old Charles Garland was housed in a dog kennel for two weeks, it was revealed with the filing of a complaint, charging cruelty, against Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stein man, who live near Grapeville, West moreland county. Roy Hallam, humane agent, found the child, suffering from exposure, in the kennel In the back yard of the Steinman home. A dog was the child’s company. Investigating, Hallam found Mrs. Tillie Lovell, the child’s mother, In the Steinman house. Mrs. Lovell said her husband had deserted her six months ago and she returned to the Steinmans, to whom she is related. They gave shelter to her and her three-year-old son, Henry Lovell, but refused, she said, to have anything to do with the Garland child, her son by a former marriage. The Steinmans forced her, she said, to keep the elder boy strapped to the post and would not permit her to bring him into the house. The boy had no attention aside from water and food she was able to carry him surreptitiously, Mrs Lovell said. Raes Against Death Won by Fishermen Wildwood, Fla.—A race with death was won by fishermen who readied shore in time to save the life of a companion in whose hand had been imbedded a deadly poison spine from the whiplike tail of a deadly stingaree. The victim of the dreaded fish was Charles Falk of Wildwood. Falk, em ployed aboard a fishing boat, was bailing out nets that were heavily laden. He and others would draw nets over the side so that fish poured upon the deck. Tn that way a stingaree was shaken from the seine and as it went through the air it lashed out its whiptail, bury ing the spine, as deadly as the fangs of a rattlesnake, deep into the engi neer’s hand. A tourniquet was applied and twisted tight with a belaying pin, and full speed was made ,for the fishing pier. Members of the crew assisted Falk ashore and then pressed into service the automobile of one of the anglers on the pier and raced to the hospital, whore prompt treatment prevented further spread of the poison. Sleeping Man Slain by Dynamite Charge Mauch Chunk, Pa.—Joseph Bene dictine Bulat, thirty-five, said to be wealthy, was killed when dynamite was exploded under him. The explo sive was concealed under a lounge on the front porch, of Bulat’s home at New Columbus, and a fuse was laid from the outside of the house. Bulat was lying on the lounge and was de capitated. No theory has been advanced by the police for the explosion. Old Horse Kills Man Leading It to Grave Atlantic City, N. J.—A sixty-eight year-old farmer, Henry Ang' of Lin wood, was kicked to death by a thirty two-year-old horse, which lie was lead ing to the grave he had dug for It.

This was the first time the animal had been out of his stall for several years. Two Deaths Over Trifle San Francisco. —Warren C.
