LEARNS ABOUT INDIANS
FROM BRINK OF GRAVE
Guides Over 100 Years Old
Tell Ancient Legends
Washington.—J. P. Harrington, eth
nologlst of the Smithsonian lnstitu
tlon, whose discovery in California of
the skull of the ancient ao-called Santa
Barbara man a year ego last sum
mer raised anew the question of the
antiquity of man on the American con
tinent, ts continuing his explorations
California. He is expected back in
Washington in March with new and
valuable ethnological and archeolog
ical information.
Mr. Harrington is one of the fore
most experts on the languages of the
Amerlcan aborigines. He recently
made a study of the language of the
“white Indians” brought back from
Panama by R, C. Marsh,
Mr. Harrington has sent word to Dr.
J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau
of American ethnology, that he is res
cuing rare data from the brink of the
grave through old and feeble Indian
guides who alone possess any Informa
tion of the ancient village sites vis
lted.
On an expedition into Lost valley
Mr. Harrington went with Francisco
Laus on horseback and remained sev
era! days In the mountains, discover
ing rare raneheria sites and filling a
space hitherto blank on the archeolog
ical map of California.
Guide Very Old and Feeble.
“The Indian Francisco is very old
and feeble," writes Mr. Harrington,
"and the trip was very hard on him.
Ail the Information which he gave on
these places was rescued from the
brink of the grave and there ts no one
else that knows even a fraction of It”
Mr. Harrington visited a place
where the Indians formerly captured
eagles by letting a man down the face
of a cllfT by means of a rabbit net
woven of the red milkweed fiber.
Another of Mr. Harrington’s guides
la Angel Cuiipe, one hundred and four
years old, who accompanied him on
a trip down the Canada de las Uvas.
"Many of the archeological sites we
visited,” writes Mr. Harrington, “appar
ently had not been touched since In
dlan times and we found without diffl
culty the old hut circles on the sur
face of the ground, either marked by
rings of rocks which were formed by
the Indiana clearing the surface for
the circular hut or by rings of raised
earth which mark the former walls.
Ancient Village la Found.
“The largest village we discovered
was that known to the Mission In
dians as Milyahu, This differed from
the other sites in being located on a
detached rocky hin, which has the ap
pea ranee of a great towering citadel
when seen from the arroyo. The little
Indian wigwams, varying In diameter
from fourteen to twenty feet, nestle
all over the summit of this hill and
the circles are as fresh as if the place
had been abandoned yesterday.”
On a hill on the Santa Maria ranch
near Ramona Mr. Harrington discov
ered an ancient Indian fortification
wall, which Is evidently in much the
i same condition as when It was aban
|doned. It Is made of rocks piled In
| the form of a parapet five feet or more
1 In height. The wall forms a corral
around the top of the hill. Command
;!ng a fine view of the valley, It was
used, according to tradition, as an out
I look.
[ In Palm canyon he reaped a rich
j i harvest In hitherto unrecorded place
names and archeological sites. On this
(trip Juanlto Razon, more than one
[hundred years old, was his guide.
[They went across the sand washes
and rocky arroyos In an automobile—
a hard trip. They visited ancient wa
ter holes, painted rocks, caves, sacred
stones and magical springs.

“ on ‘ w °men are taking cognizance
of those Important food elements
known as vltamlnes. They have
learned, also, the benefit to the hu
man body of eucb minerals as iron,
calcium and phosphorus.
This knowledge has resulted in the
housewife planning her menus with an
eye open to dietary values, which is
the big reason why milk has assumed
sue* s large place in the>menn of the
American family. Milk contains every
structural element fbr body building,
It Is an almost perfect food. Despite
the beet refrigeration facilities milk
will keep tweet only a short time
Millions of American housewives have
solved this big problem by using evap

cow’s milk .sterilized jIn cans to
achieve keeping qualMp* and with
sixty per cent of the water removed,
Evaporated milk is not the same as
condensed milk, although many per

product Is a combination of milk and

Sugar Is the preservative used Ir

Teachers Pay Small,
Education Cost High
Washington.—“Is the cost of prep
aratlon for the teaching profession too
great In proportion to the salary re
turns?” An article In School Life
raises a serious doubt, amounting a!
most to an affirmative answer.
“Single men students at Columbia
In 1823-24 spent for the school yeai
of nine months an average of $1,183,’'

from $1,630 to $2,973.
"Basing the judgment on the fig

attaining the bachelor degree will b<
$4,800, the master's degree $6,000 an'
the doctorate $7,300 or $8,500.
“The person who enters the teach
lng profession can hope to receive a;
most about $8,400 salary in a sum!
university or college, $8,700 In a me
dtum-sized one and $6,000 In a larg<
Institution. Moreover, those salaries
will be reached, If at all, only afte>

Male Butterfly Lures
Mate With Perfunw
Washington.—Dr. Austin H. Clark o
the United fitates National museun
says the male butterfly, not the fe
male, emits the sweet odors and wear
the pretty colors. The gentleman but
terfly uses enticing perfumes to attrao
the other sex.
These odors originate In the hair, o
scales, grouped In patches on the him
wings and, In some, the hind legs. Th<
scents are distributed In all direction
and literally fill the air about the In
sect.
Doctor Clark has found that lemon
verbena, musk aDd many others are
common. A homely butterfly maj
emit a variety of gay odors.
Man and His Creator
He fell to work, whistling softly,
and was swallowed up in the keen,
dear joy of creation, which does not
come to man too often, lest he should
consider himself the equal of his God,
and so refuse to die at the appointed
tidk. —Kipling.

This Farm Relief Question Is Now a Tremendous
K , National, Problem L
By FRANK 0. LOWDRN, Former Governor of Illinois.
rjpi HIS pressing agrarian This farm nation view' policy, relief has that question has the this begun power republic, is to now decay solve through a tremendous i-t, and I failure do not national to yield reach tot problem. it the sound other de
to must go down at,
republics have gone down “into the twilight of the gods.”
We know more than the people of any other republic ever have
known. We are beginning to question the orthodox views of the so-called
lntv of supply and demand. We must listen to the newer economists, take
the findings of scientists arid use them. It is significant that the eastern
industrial leaders are now studying the farm situation. Government must
not lag behind industry.
> I think that just as Brazil has found a way by which its coffee surplus
is no longer a menace, and England a method by which its rubber surplus
no longer paralyzes that industry, so we in America may find a means of
taking from the American farmer’s hack this old burden of his surplus.
The federal reserve banking system was formed lo mobilize the
credits of the country so that they could be used at any time al the point
needed. If we could accomplish in point of time for Ihe farm surpluses
what we have accomplished in point of place for the credit resources of the
country, we would have largely overcome our troubles.
I suggest a federal farm board. Suppose that board found that the
producers of any farm commodity were sufficiently organized to be really
representative of all the producers of that commodity. Suppose that when
it ascertained this fact it should authorize such producers to form a cor
poration for taking care of the surplus, either storing it to meet a possi
ble future domestic need or »xporting it upon the best terms available, the
expenses and losses incurred in storage or in export to he borne propor
tionately by all the producers of that particular commodity.
Such a board could function successfully only if it operated through
co-operative commodity associations. It could expect to prevent ruinous
overproduction only in co-operation with such associations. It is mtal to
any plan that it should he ro framed as to strengthen and hot to weaken
the co-operative movement, for in that movement lies the best hope for
the future of American agriculture.
The Controlling Factor in Forest Fire Hazard Is
Undoubtedly Humidity
By C. E. NORQUEST, U. S. Weather Bureau.
- The element that seems to claim the distinction of being the con
trolling factor in forest fire hazard is undoubtedly humidity. As it
fluctuates the degree of fire hazard increases and decreases. Tempera
ture and wind only accentuate the influence of low humidity. It makes
no difference how hot the day or how high the wind, if the forest ma
terials are wet fire will neither start nor spread. Ihe seeming excep
tion to this general assertion ia the lightning fire that mav be started
even in the rain. All dead forest materials are hygroscopic, some to a
vf%-T\igh degree, and readily absorb moisture from humid air or lose
' t -*° ^ a ' r > 80 ^ a marked degree the moisture content, and hence
the inflammability, of forest materials is determined by the humidity of
the air to which they are exposed. There is no fire hazard before the
moisture content of forest materials has dropped to the inflammability
point and the degree of hazard increases rapidly with further drying,
which ia accelerated by rising temperature and wind.

THE THINGS AT HOME
TK7E HAD a good many beautiful
* v gardens In our town. Thera
wasn't e great deal of society, and
many of tke women, Instead of giv
ing themselves over to bridge and em
broidery, found pleasui* In flowers.
Mrs. King had been to England and
had brwught back all sorts of Ideas
and specimens which she attempted to
develop la her own bnek yard. She
had roses from the Kew garden* and
delphiniums from K el way, and many
other beautiful things eMch grow
acroea the Atlantic.
Mrs. Watson had once paid a visit
to Victoria, and had come back breath
less and enthusiastic over the remem
brance of the dahlias and lobelias and
calceolarias which flourish In that
wild and humid climate. She tried to
reproduce in her own garden the riot
of color which ahe had seen there, but
our temperature was too hot and dry,
and she got a rather sorry effect.
We had English and Italian gardens
and rather abortive suggestions of
Japanese gardens, for few of ns had
ever been as far as Japan and knew
of things In that quaint country only
by hearsay or through the Illustra
tions we found In the Sunday paper*.
To me the most beautiful garden in
town was Mrs. Bacon’s. 8he stuck to
old-fashioned things and things In
digenous to the locality. There were
beds of zinnias and irigolds and
petunias and teuch-rae-nots—she had
never heard ef halsaras. There were
larkspurs and sweet ellyaaum and
pretty-by-nights, and coxcomb. But
the best part of her garden waa full
of the things she had brought In from
the woods and from the pralrlee.
At the hack of her garden waa a
rustic pergola, and massed against It
were clumps, of wild roses, and sumac
end wanhoof’hushes; and' clambering
over It were wild clematis and wood
bine and bittersweet, and all the
climbing vines that one finds in the
woods.
There waa a stretch of garden be
hind the pergole, and Into this she
had brought all the wild things that
grow in the woods and on the pralrlea
—phlox and golden rod, and sweet
araelllng heps tires; May apples, and
trlllums and bluebell*. There was
everything that the could transplant—
sunflowers and esters, and galllardlas,
and Kansas gay feather* and fringed
gentian—from spring te frost there
was always something In bloom. It
made one think ef men (lows and hill
sides and wide pralrlee and running
brooks to see this garden. It brought
tiack youth to wender through It.
We go far sometime# for beauty
and pleasure, hut often, If we could
only see them, the things at home are
heat.
