THIS WEEK
^ Explaining to Canada
Mr. Morgentliau's V/ork
A West Point for Crime
Alfred du Pont
Canada, hearing of a proposed Unit-
td States “camouflaged military air-
plane base near her
__
border,” asks for
information. The
State department
will gladly supply
it.
No military forts
separate the two
countries, no bat¬
tleships on the big
lakes. Inhabitants
on both sides, be¬
ing civilized, have
no idea of attack¬
ing each other; nei¬
ther craves what
Arthur Bri*bnn« the other owns.
Some day, let us hope, the two coun¬
tries will be one, by mutual agreement,
or Canada might annex the United
States in a friendly way, if that were
more acceptable, a majority of voters
ruling.
,The North American continent, from
the Mexican border to the North pole,
should be one nation, or if Mexico and
others would come In, all the way down
to the Panama canal, so much the bet¬
ter.
There will be no war between this
country and any part of the British
empire. Common sense forbids it. Any
#!r base of ours would probably be as
useful to Canada as to ourselves, and
we should be delighted to see Canada
establish a string of air bases to the
north of us, especially along her Pa¬
cific and Atlantic coasts.
Secretary Morgenthau, never in
business as a banker, interested, per¬
sonally, in farming more than in mon¬
ey, has shown the outside world, to
its surprise, that he can make the
American dollar keep its place in the
procession, regardless of many billions
of bond issues, no gold basis, and other
novelties.
Gamblers that ordinarily enjoy spec¬
ulation in “exchange” are afraid of the
American dollar. And curiously, while
some Americans are sending money to
other countries, to make it “safe,” for¬
eigners, and especially Britishers, are
Investing more and more heavily In
the United States.
Washington discusses a “West Point
for war on crime,” a semi-military
school under the attorney general to
train fighters to meet the national
crime army, that collects almost as
much money as the national govern¬
ment itself takes In.
The war would be simple if govern¬
ment would treat crime as it would
an outbreak of yellow fever, or Asiatic
cholera, taking it really seriously.
Habitual criminals are known, men
of ten or fifteen convictions, racketeers,
gunmen. Make It clear that once
locked up they would never get out as
long as they lived and you would see
the crime fade away.
Very bad news for this country, In
which efficiency and energy count as
public asset number one, Is the sudden
death of Alfred du Pont, stricken with
heart disease in his residence near
Jacksonville, Fla. At seventy years of
age Mr. du Pont was planning, as he
should be, all sorts of new enterprises
that would have been Interesting to
him. He needed no more money, want¬
ed to be useful.
Great Britain Is excited about the
Germans building submarines, especial¬
ly annoyed to learn that the subma¬
rines are of a “super” type, carrying
guns as well as torpedo tubes, able
to hunt British or other ships any¬
where on earth, some alleged to carry
a small airplane, easily launched.
Britain has plane-carrying submarines,
hut that Is different. German sub¬
marines now finished are about to
start maneuver practice off Wilhelms-
hafen.
Nations rise to great heights, glori¬
ous power, then crumble, disappear;
^ e sert sands cover their streets and
temples. Patient archeology digs them
out and wonders. Read Volney’a
Kuins of Empires” to find that process
we h described.
What causes It? Do nations grow
old and die “naturally,” inevitably, as
odlvlduals do? Sometimes plagues
wipe them out: the black death nearly
destroyed Europe. Malaria tore down
the power of Rome and recently killed
some 50,i»00, following a sudden mos-
fiuito attack In the Far East.
You are not surprised to learn, In
•pite of pacifist protests and protests
• rorn certain Japanese who are not
pacifists, the President thinks it wise
to explore around and see just what
this country needs In the way of "de-
-ense methods” on the Pacific.
A crime, unbelievable, has been re¬
ported ^ from Texas. Howard Pierson,
aged twenty, killed his mother and
at -her, then shot himself in the arm,
Pretending that bandits had done it.
After police had kept him awake
or awhile he confessed, said he did it
or revenge.”
Me did it actually, authorities de-
" are< *. for $17,000 insurance on his
ather’a life. He killed the mother
0, , 'ause she would have got the insur¬
ance.

DADE COUNTY TIMES: MAY 9, 1935
TREES TELL STORY
OF PUEBLO CULTURE
Developed in 150 Years, Ac¬
cording to Scientists,
Washington.—The great Pueblo cul¬
ture of the Southwest—the highest de¬
velopment of aboriginal civilization
north of Mexico at the time of the dis¬
covery of the New world—rose to the
apex of its greatness in not more than
150 years.
Such is the story told by tree-ring
chronology, according to Dr. Frank H.
H. Roberts, Jr., of the bureau of
American ethnology of the Smithsonian
institution, in a report on the present
status of southwestern archeology pre¬
pared for the American Anthropologi¬
cal association.
In the past it has generally been sup¬
posed that this remarkable and highly
characteristic Indian culture was the
product of a slow growth which must
have extended over many centuries.
The positive dating made possible by
the tree rings of timbers used in the
construction of the pueblos shows,
quite to the contrary, that the Pueblo I
period, during which this civilization
attained its characteristic fonn, ex¬
tended only from about 800 to 900 A. D.
The Pueblo II period, when the prog¬
ress continued at a somewhat accel¬
erated rate, lasted only from about 875
to 950 A. IX, allowing 25 years for
overlapping.
Third Period hong.
Then came the Puebio III period
when, apparently, the f/eople settled
down to enjoy what they had achieved
ami this lasted, with various periods
of depression and prosperity, almost up
to the time of the arrival of the Span¬
ish explorers. During the long Pueblo
III era there was considerable refine¬
ment in the patterns painted on pot
tery, and other artifacts were per¬
fected, but there was not much original
development. Although larger struc¬
tures were erected, the basic house
type did not change.
In a sense, Doctor Roberts points
out, this culture, whose growth was
so rapid, was as remarkable as that
of the Aztecs in Mexico or that of the
Mayas in Yucatan, although It left no
such architectural monuments to
arouse the wonder of the future. Both
of the southern civilizations were re¬
ligious aristocracies. The great build¬
ings were temples or religious monu¬
ments in Yucatan. In Mexico there
were elaborate dwellings for the nobil¬
ity. But In both cases the common
man lived in a thatched hut, and prob¬
ably lived miserably.
For “Common Man."
But the Pueblo culture developed for
the benefit of the “common man.” The
great aboriginal apartment houses wera
erected as homes, not palaces or tem¬
ples. Each Included places of worship,
but they were secondary to the main
object of the structure. Even compared
with the European peasant of his day,
the Pueblo Indian had a comfortable
dwelling place. The whole trend of
this culture was apparently to better
the lot of the ordinary family. Conse¬
quently, its rapid rise, Doctor Roberts
points out, is the more remarkable
since it was not the result of some
great emotional wave.
Refuse From Sugar Cane
to Produce Cellulose
Washington. — Cellulose wrappers
now can be made from bagasse, refuse
from sugar cane mills, according to D.
F. J. Lynch, chemist In the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Lynch has gone to Hawaii where he
will supervise the manufacture of
alpha cellulose by a process which he
perfected on a laboratory scale there
last summer.
“Alpha cellulose,” Lynch said, “is the
principal ingredient in rayon and trans¬
parent cellulose sheeting now used for
wrappers.
“Bagasse offers Interesting possibili¬
ties for the production of alpha cel¬
lulose,” he added, “because there is no
problem of collecting this raw mate¬
rial at the factory. It comes from the
mill as a by-product which In the past
has been used mainly as fuel.”
11-Year-Old Boy Learns
to Talk All Over Again
Port Clinton, Ohio.—Jack Fleckner,
eleven-year old youth of Oak Harbor,
near here, has been obliged to learn
to talk all over again.
The boy carried six pieces of a bul¬
let in the left lobe of his brain as
the result of an accidental shooting
by his brother Howard, thirteen, while
at play with what they believed was
an unloaded gun.
The doctors who are aiding him
in his fight to regain his powers of
thought aud reason are of the opin¬
ion that with special tutoriDg he
will be able to resume his school
work In the sixth grade within an¬
other year's time. A special tutor has
been employed.
Aims Down Pistol Barrel
in Mirror to Shoot Self
Cincinnati.—From a slxteen-year-old
boy, lying wounded at General hos¬
pital, came this comment:
"Life is too hard to live. There
doesn’t seem to be any use to it.” The
boy. Ottie Plumley, said the bullet
wound in his right chest was self-in¬
flicted. When police wondered how
the boy, right-handed, could have shot
himself in the right chest, he explained
that to fire the shot he twisted his
wrist and stood in front of a mirror,
aiming reversely down the barrel of
the pistol’s reflected image.

Lesson for May 12
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
LESSON TEXT—-Ephesians 4:1-7,
11-16; Acts 2:41-45.
GOLDEN TEXT—So we, being many,
are one body in Christ, and every one
members one of another.—Roman*
12:5.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Going to God’*
House.
JUNIOR TOPIC—What a Church la.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—What the Church Is For.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—The Nature and Work of the
Church.
I. What It Is (Eph. 3 :3-6).
It is the body of redeemed men and
women of Jews and Gentiles called out
from the world, regenerated and united
to Jesus Christ as head and to each
other by the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 12:13).
1. It was unknown in Old Testament
times (Eph. 3:5, 6).
2. It was predicted by Christ (Matt
16:18). Shortly before Christ went to
the cross he spoke of the Cburcli as
still In the future. He said, T will
build my church.”
3. It came into being at Pentecost
(Acts 2).
II. Christ Is the Head of the Church
(Eph. 1:22, 23).
Jesus Christ Is to the Church what
the head Is to the human body. He Is
so vitally its head as to direct all Its
activities.
III. The Unity of the Church (Eph.
4:4-G).
Having in verses 1-3 of this cnapter
set forth the virtues necessary for the
realization and maintenance of unity
lo the Church, in verses 4-6 he sets
down the fundamental unities which
make unity of the body.
1. One body (v. 4). Since all be¬
lievers have been united to Christ by
faith, they are members of the one
body of which he is the head.
2. One Spirit (v. 4). This Is the
Holy Spirit. He Is the agent In re¬
generation and the baptizer into the
one body and is the animating life unit¬
ing the believers to Christ and to one
another.
3. One hope (v. 4). Completed re¬
demption at the coming of the Lord Is
the Christian’s hope.
4. One Lord (v. 5). The one ruler
of the Church Is the Lord Jesus Christ.
5. One faith (v. 5). This faith is the
one doctrine which centers In Christ
and the one instrument which unites
the believer to Christ
6. One baptism (v. 5). This means
the baptism of the Holy Spirit—that
sovereign act of the Spirit which uuites
believers to Jesus Christ as head and
to each other as members of his body.
7. One God and Father of ati (?. 6).
This is the almighty Creator and Sus-
tainer of the universe.
IV. How the Church Grows (Eph.
4:11-16). It is through the ministry of
certain officials having the gifts of the
Spirit.
1. Gifts bestowed upon the Church
(v. 11).
a. Apostles. These were appointed
by Christ to superintend the preaching
of the gospel In all the world and the
creation of an authoritative body of
teacfiing, the Scriptures.
b. Prophets. These ministers were
given for the expounding of the Scrip¬
tures.
c. Evangelists. These seem to have
been traveling missionaries.
d. Pastors and teachers. The pas¬
tor was a shepherd-teacher, the two
fnnctions Inherent in the one office.
2. The object of the ministry of the
Church (v. 12).
a. “Perfecting of the saints." Per¬
fecting means the mending of that
which has been rent; the adjusting of
something dislocated.
b. “For the work of the ministry”
(v. 12). The perfecting of the saints
has as its object the qualification to
render efficient service.
c. “Edifying of the body of Christ.”
Edify means to build up.
3. The duration of the Church’s min¬
istry (v. 13). It Is to continue until
a. There Is unity of faith.
b. We come into the knowledge of
the Son of God. Unity of faith can
only be realized when the members of
the Church come to know Jesus Christ
as the very Son of God.
c. A perfect man, which Is the meas¬
ure of the stature of Christ.
4. The blessed issue of the ministry
of the Church (vv. 14-16).
a. Not tossed to and fro and carried
about by every wind of doctrine (v. 14).
Knowledge of Christ as the very Son of
God Is the sure defense against the ef¬
forts of cunning men.
b. Speaking the truth In love (w.
15, 16). Holding th« truth of Jesus
Christ as the Son of God In the spirit
of sincerity and love will Issue In the
symmetrical development of believers,
causing them to grow up in him as
head.
QUIET THOUGHTS
Every man Is worth Just so much
as the things are worth about which he
busies himself.—Marcus Aurelius.

People glorify all sorts of bravery
except the bravery they might show
on behalf of their nearest neighbors.—

ans In Rome nearly two thousand years
ago Is as true today as ever It sraa
There is “peace In believing."
Uncover Mayan Cities
Fifteen Centuries Old
Carnegie Institution scientists
probing the dense jungles of Guate¬
mala and Honduras have made new
discoveries In connection with the
ancient Mayan civilization which
flourished In Central America when
a few people still lived who could re¬
member the crucifixion of Christ.
Under many feet of deposited silt
and tangled vegetation they have
found cities once populous and richly
built with palaces and temples, hut
deserted now for 15 centuries. One
ruined city in particular in northern
Guatemala lias attracted attention.
Tt Is surrounded by a moat very sim¬
ilar to those used extensively cen¬
turies later In Europe. Originally
the ditch was about ten feet deep
and ten feet wide. It was spanned In
different places by seven masonry
bridges, and was connected with a
qearby swamp so that during the
rainy season it was filled with water.
This Is the first moated city ever
found In America and It Is not cer¬
tain whether It was used as a means
of protection against raiding tribes
or whether It had a religious mean-
j Ing. In Honduras an expedition has
uncovered two stone altars and many
monuments. All were ornately carved
with the picture writing of the an¬
cient Mayas which leaves us a rec¬
ord of their empire.—Pathfinder Mag¬
azine.
Debt to Science
When sugar was first made from
beets it required about 20 tons of
beets to produce one ton of sugar;
now It requires but six tons, the
change being due to scientific pro¬
duction of beets.

Unique “Primrose”
Rug lo Crochet
By GRANDMOTHER CLARK
This rag rug measures 42 Inches
*nd requires about three pounds of
material to finish. It appears to be
made of six squares each of a differ¬
ent size, with the horizontal positions
alternating. Work Is started with
the center square about 5 inches in
diameter. Triangles are then cro¬
cheted on the four sides of inner
square forming the second square.
Continue same way for third, fourth
and fifth squares. The sixth square
Is the same size as fifth square and
therefore requires smaller triangles
on sides than the others. Colors
should be so arranged that center Is
In light shades of yellow, while outer
triangles represent the petals of flow¬
ers, and may be shaded in color de¬
sired. This can be made into a very
attractive and unique rug, depending
very much on the color scheme used.
This Is one of the twenty-six cro¬
cheted and braided rugs illustrated
with instructions in Grandmother
Clark’s rug book No. 25. Detailed
Instructions are given in this book
for the “Primrose" rug, and If you
